K'eve

^{Location: Living Quarters}

---

Truth be told, K'eve was among one of the first to arrive within the cargo compartment. While others scuttled about and made their way into the area, she watched them all as she sat on the ground with unblinking reptilian eyes. A few glanced nervously in her direction but none tried to interact. A digital overlay-- visible only to K'eve's eyes-- focused on individuals here and there, specifically on their belongings. Several interesting blades and pistols, ammunition components, odd bits of metal, caught K'eve's more inventive focused attention.

To put it simply: They needed to hand all that stuff over immediately.

For the duration of the Captain's "greeting," K'eve didn't move or make a sound. At the words, "Volunteers. One hour. Lounge," she grunted in acknowledgement. Slowly, K'eve stood, catching the attention of more than a few beings surrounding her-- several of which had to stare up at her. Teeth bared, K'eve began striding forward through the crowd, without concern for whoever she bumped into.

This, of course, solicited more than a few hostile remarks, curses, hisses, yelps, and even a slap on the shoulder from something that broke upon impact. What K'eve most needed right now was to figure out when the others would be surrendering their weapons and armor for improvement, what the status of the weaponry was, and why this ship was so insanely cold.

The sunlessness of certain planets or ships was not unfamiliar to K'eve but, that didn't make it any less extremely unpleasant. Fact was, K'eve had already selected prime candidates for body-heat exchange later, and she was certain that they absolutely would not mind. If she was cold, everyone else was cold as well, right?

Of course she was right.

As it just so happened, her strides were so large that when K'eve made her way toward the Lounge, she ended up closely on someone's heels. K'eve breathed heavily upon their back, not bothering to push past them, and slowed her pace to match theirs. If they were going to the same place, why would she move them out of the way?

I've got a present for everyone. Working on an IC update currently, there will be an advancement in the main plot but if that's not your cup of tea here's the next batch of subplots to be thinking over.

◼ DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN:

Having escaped capture at the hands of Joseph Thoreau and Vernon Thompson, the accused arsonist, 'Nina' remains at large. As a result of her actions, the Michaels Nuclear Power Plant was compromised and has been taken off line until the damage can be repaired. At this time, a blackout has rolled over the Northern and Eastern sections of Crescent City, plunging them into darkness without heat or hydro. From Pointe Bordeaux, to Shasta Bay, up through New Lilith to Jethrull, the city is in darkness with strain on generators and outside power sources keeping the South West region active.

@Lord Wraith

If Vernon doesn't end up doing this one, he'll end up doing the main story.
Which will mean it's finally time to use this image properly:


Which, let me be real, he's probably done a couple of times already since it's so close to where he lives.
Every day he wakes up, yells at the cloud, then turns on the Price is Right.

Wassup!

◼ WEEK 04: As the first round of secondary plots are coming to an end, let's discuss antagonists. So far there hasn't been anything too serious in the RP but what are your thoughts on antagonists? What makes a good villain for you? Do you like them unhinged, do you like them cold and calculating? Do you prefer an NPC villain or one who is directly portrayed by another player? What's good about being bad?

@Lord Wraith

OH GOODNESS do I have a lot of thoughts about villains. As someone who RP's a lot of VERY gray area characters in general, the topic of morality v.s. perspective comes up a whole lot. An interesting villain by my definition has to be a hero in their own mind-- they have to think that what they're doing is right, proper, justified-- even the unhinged ones that are "evil for the sake of being evil" can have the reasoning that what they're doing is good for them.

Villains that just wanted to be violent because they feel like it, is as good as a villain who is directly acting against the protagonist-- or one that is acting according to their own beliefs. I personally don't like seeing the evil v.s. good thing as black and white respectively. I go off the sole belief that no matter who you are or how you're acting, you're someone's antagonist.

What is a hero if not the villain's antagonist, after all?

In this regard, I tend to RP characters that are complex enough to veer toward villainy or heroism based on situation, who they are, and how they see things. This has landed my characters in a lot of "HOW COULD YOU" situations. As long as the action fits the character then it's good business and the story is going well.

A lot of what @SgtEasy said is similar to how I see things... if you couldn't tell.

Now in the realm of NPC or Character portrayed, well, it just depends on the story writing, honestly.
I like both. One is not necessarily better than the other unless, of course, you have someone that isn't very good at portraying a spectrum or variety of villains. (i.e. I have a friend that can only portray brutish types of characters well, but that's a writing issue tbh.)

I rambled a bit because jet lag during the great migration, hahaha. Yes.
Hope you are all doing well!

Star Orphans (A Fantasy Sci-Fi Space Opera Epic)

@MonkeyBusiness @RumikoOhara Thank you both for responding.

@Utrax@Denny Since you're the only two that's completed character sheets, I leave it up to you guys as to whether or not you would like to continue. I completely understand if you've developed a loss of interest, as this preparation stage has dragged on longer than it should have.

@ROADWARRIOR

I'm good to go and patient for it.

Also depends on what type of "mature" themes. High-Violence? Yes. Sexual? Nope.
So you can totally stab someone in the head but no touchy-touchy allowed.
