Current Today I reached the conclusion that, if presented with an exact duplicate of herself, one of my characters would DEFINITELY hit that.

They're not LONG chapters; but the fact I've managed to right 2 meh and 4 half decent ones in 4 days makes me very happy with myself.

Now, i wonder when SWA will be posting their application...
We're officially only 1 player short of our 2 teams, though one of the characters is a space filler, so was have potential room for 2 players if I remove him.
Nobody else post IC until we get the last character sorted out. okay?
Diana fits better. more diversity in personality compared to the other characters already accepted.
Looks good, mind editing your other post to replace kelly's sheet with Diana's? that way we don't inflate the list TOO much.
Sorry, bud. if you've got a female character you'd like to use, feel free.
did you ever make a post in the welcome thread?
I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny Kelly for now. we have an overwhelmingly mono-gender cast atm. the only female character is Lyle, and I want to diversify a bit.
not really, it's still over complicatd for a revolver. why not use two double action revolvers that each have a retractable blade? if you have one weapon that divides, then if you're using the divided form and lose one of the pieces you're pretty much fucked.
the way cylinders on a revolver work is they turn on a spindle to move the next round to the barrel. the rotating mechanism is tied to the hammer, which in double action revolvers is tied to the trigger. having nested cylinders means you would need to have 2 triggers and 2 hammers or else both barrels would have to fire simultaneously. even with that, you have another problem: how are they arranged? are they nested as well? does the smaller hammer cock when you pull back the larger? how about the triggers, are they sid-by-side? one behind the other? how does he avoid pulling both triggers simultaneously?
on top of that, they would have to rotate together, or have a secondary rotating mechanism inside the larger of the cylinders, which would increase the number of moving parts (and chances of a jam or malfunction) exponentially. one of the primary advantages of a revolver is that it has so few moving parts, the chance of a jam or malfunction is EXTREMELY low.
TL;DR Revolvers are used because of reliability and simplicity, don't fix it if it ain't broken.

I suppose having him be a reformed criminal isn't too bad, as long as he was never convicted of anything.
I'm not that great as an artist, but I'm damned good with weapons and names.
