Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

I won't be able to get the information I need to do my characters until this afternoon. I should totally have my chars by tomorrow however.

Godmodding is also instantly freezing or sleeping. Just saying.

Done im really irritated already and will stop with this discussion now. Isla disappeared from the scene and after this I have no need to get her back in action for the upcomming time.


Yet nobody was instantly frozen or sleeping--because I gave everyone a chance to react, dodge, and do their own thing. I didn't say 'x is frozen', I said 'y tried to freeze x', leaving the response to the other players. Your attempt to vindicate yourself by pinning me as a hypocrite isn't working so well.

Everything has turned out exactly as I predicted. Nothing has changed and the discussion is now over.

@Everyone, this serves to tell about myself pretty well: yes, I can be irritating and antagonistic at times, but at least I'm not stupid. My aim is continuity and balance, and to that end, sometimes I will try and offer constructive criticisms and suggestions. Is it pompous of me? Maybe, but I'm not calling myself an expert, I'm just trying to offer another perspective. Even if I'm useless most of the time, if there's even the slightest chance that I can help someone else become a better writer, I'll take it. If you don't want me to try and help out in this fashion, just let me know, or prove that you are criticism-proof, and then I will stop.

If anyone's wondering, I'm totally open to criticism myself. If anyone has a problem with a single word I've written, just tell me and I'll take another look and try to explain myself. If I can't explain myself, I'll make edits. I admit myself to be fallible.

@LugubriousShould I wait as well to get Argus involved?


Nah, you go ahead.

*Bops both on the head*

Lugu, Isla is Life's character. She has solo rights to their actions. Even if it goes way off the character sheet.

Life, it is best to take into account the character you have made when considering their actions. If you want something to happen a different way or the character to be different, change the character sheet and notify Caits.

Clear?


Owning a character gives someone permission to make up stuff for them on the fly? There's a term for that called god-modding. What's to stop my from saying Jane has a special 'instant retrieval arrow' that can pull Isla right back to where she is, then? Would you kindly stay out of this discussion and leave any arbitrating that needs to be done to the GMs?
@LugubriousHmmm, I gonna go put that to a vote too.

So, New or Old student?


Old requires more crafting of backstory, experience, relationships, and so forth, so it seems like to begin the RP it might be a good idea to begin our characters' journey as well. I say New, maybe not fresh off the boat but still fairly new to DWMA.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

You re basically saying I should write with big letters on the top of her personality that she is a super vilain.

You can always try. Havent said it needs to be this way.


That's an almost insulting presumption. Did I even remotely say that? Not at all. My point is that there's not a single smidgen in her personality that would explain her behavior both with trapping people and selling them (what do you call trapping people and selling/containing them in real life...?) and then conducting a grand escape from justice.

I did try, but you're not quite picking up what I'm laying down, and since in the greater scheme of things it doesn't matter, I'm not willing to expend the effort to try and convince you any further. Don't feel bad about it; there have actually been very few instances when anyone is willing to change anything based on any of my suggestions.

Oblivion, don't post as Ike until I've posted as the Frenzy Plant soldiers. It seems like a far more efficient use of effort and time to deal with both Gabriel's bodyblock and then the others' actual defense in a single post.
SUPER MEGA ANNOUNCEMENT


Okay, so story wise, when the rp gets started do we all want to know each other or not really? I want to put it down to a vote between you all


Depends; are we all brand-new arrivals, or students for a while? If it's the first, then no, but the second, yes probably.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

Geez you cant handle a joke. And i find it funny that that is the only reaction to what i all just said


It didn't come across as a joke because she is actually behaving kinda like a supervillain.

Well, you explained the reasoning behind the actions Isla took, and I didn't suppose there's a chance of convincing you to change it, so I figured I might as well just leave it be without further argument.
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

Oh did I not say I would answere that tonight? Well whatever it might not have posted since my internet is crap of my phone. So what I thought about before was that I had that answere somewhere written down but I have no idea where. Might be in the pms bwtween me and Ike.

As for now I can say that Isla would be stuck in a painting world. One way out would be to draw a painting of a painting that already excists in the real world to create a portal towards it. Since Isla has drawn pictures of people she can paint one of those but also famous art that is in a museum. This seemed like the best idea for me.

Also sorry I suddenly did something like that but what great super vilain wouldnt try to escape under these circumstances.


"Great super villain"

Isla is so to say a very cheerful and active girl around others. She prefers the company of others rather than being alone all the time. This is to be seen in her great hyperactivity and clinginess to others. She surely doesn't lack social skill but sometimes she goes a little to far with all her talk and jokes. Isla doesn't have a stop button in her mind and can go on entertaining herself or in others their eyes, being annoying for a rather long time. Isla can laugh at others their pain and sadness and doesn’t seem to care whenever someone is mad. She does her own thing so on and so forth.

Happy
Creative
Strong willed


Am I the only one finding this discrepancy? I ascribed the evil things that Isla was doing to people as her being misguided, or perhaps part of her 'cursed mind', but since when was she a supervillain?
@Evil Snowman Aria's image doesn't work. @Fallentrinity Both Battle Buster images don't work.
@liferusher, I am sorry that you do not feel well, but could you perhaps respond to the issue that Raijin and I brought up concerning Isla?
