Try not to act too much like your imposed Champion, other wise she will see threw your act and call you on it. I just have the feeling when Blessid's character comes up for battle, Blesse will be the first person he will aim for, since he knows she can bend fire and what not. But her brain is a more powerful weapon then her own built in ones.

Maybe Cicero's traumatic backstory will be found alluring and interesting by Gwenivere....

@Malkalack
Normally, I'd just let players make their in-game mistakes, but I think you could use feedback on this one.
Gwen has little empathy, remember? Tragic events have no impact on her. You're wasting a rare opportunity to flirt with her on a flashback that'll do absolutely nothing for your character.
I'll wait for your response before posting the next story piece.
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 12:05

Oh helm yeah!
Dude... his ONLY goal isn't to flirt with Gwen. He's had a fudged up life. Let him mourn.

Mmmkay. Duly noted.

@Malkalack
Maybe I should explain things differently.
There's a good time and a bad time for flashbacks. This is a bad time for a flashback. A good time would be during a tense scene, like just before or during a battle, or perhaps in a moment of peril. But this is peacetime, when he's just wandering around the Clockworks. There's no plausible reason for him to randomly have a flashback. It kills the pleasant moment for no good reason.
In short, it doesn't make a cool story, in my opinion.

#321
Oh helm yeah!
Duly noted. Again. So uh... you gonna lecture me or post?
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 12:20
#322
@Malkalack
I'd preferably lecture you, to be honest, since Gwen's reaction is not going to be pleasant. I like to write about the playful side of her.
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 12:42
#323
Oh helm yeah!
Fine. Lecture away. Lol
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 12:56

Bah, I'm done lecturing. :/

OK. Im playing Titanfall, but I can post in between rounds :P

#Sonosuks
Does that mean he can go back and change his post? Or do we get to watch Gwen's reaction to that random flashback? Cuz I'd prefer the latter.
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 14:01
#327
Oh helm yeah!
jeez, it's just because he mentioned growing up. Which screwed Cicero UP.
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 14:07
#328
Hmm...
When I hear that "Flashback" I just start to wonder who that "Voice" is. But then I realize that he must mean Vog.
Edit: Also, Thin, Shouldn't the use of Crimsonite and other Crystals be arguably against the law?

Just really waiting for something to happen now. We really have nothing moving the story. Our rolling ball of story just turned into a square.
We're really just waiting on Thinslayer to do something to keep the story rolling.

Oh helm yeah!
Nah, he just has an essential character.

Halloo.
All right, time for me to divert my focus back to the Morai. Gimme a few hours to make up a fun plot for you guys. ;)

@Thinslayer
I'm still confused on where to place Sho. It seems everyone is doing their own thing so I don't know where to throw him in. I'm not asking you to spoon feed me on what I should but rather give me advice on how to do it.
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 15:44

@Sho-Marufuji
Tentatively, your character looks built to make dramatic entrances. A quick, precise strike, for example, would be needed to save someone who is about to be stabbed or shot by an enemy. And if a group of players are surrounded or something, a surprise volley of Grim Repeater rounds would be a welcome sight.
Try being a "big hero" in a major fight against the Morai. I know it sounds cheesy, but that's what I'm recommending.

not that anyone would notice it...buried in my shamful extra posts

@Blessid-Bombardier
I need you to talk with Hexlash about a possible plotline between your two characters.
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 16:41
#339
Lovely, Well Thin as it stands:
The Morai have their reserve ships which they would be foolish to bring in when they know a Hacker back walled them into a death pit. They don't know who it is yet, and the ground troops for the Spiral's have been Rallied into battle with the falling of the ships :/
Kinda had to do something based on some of the other posts :/

Oh. Sorry. I had a pretty cool plot in mind, but my bad.

I know what you look like thin, so stay away from me until you want 'that' battle

@Darkwatck: Interesting. I'll see what plot I can make out of that.
@Malkalack: If you need to power-play my character, I'd appreciate it if you'd go over the plot with me first.
Otherwise, I'll still play fair. If you could plausibly surprise Gwen with an "attempted" attack, then I'll act surprised. You don't need to power play if you plan carefully.

Denied.
I don't want to multiply player characters unnecessarily.

@Malkalack
Well? What plot did you have in mind?
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 18:01
#346
Oh helm yeah!
Um.. i was thinking she would be knocked out, and he takes her back to the Order for a trial. Then, when she is in cells he has a change of heart and rescues her in a daring fashion.
But I see now she isn't exactly someone who would appreciate someone else's help, so just forget I said anything. errr, wrote anything.

@Malkalack
Okay. That's not a particularly bad plot in and of itself.
But Cicero ignored a whole lot of stuff. Gwen just packed three important facts into a single paragraph:
*She's innocent. She was killing murderers and saving lives. But Cicero was apparently deaf.
*Cicero himself is a murderer, yet he's arresting Gwen for murders (which, as she just explained, were justified). The court would probably laugh the case out of court and throw his arse in jail instead.
*She voluntarily gave Cicero the benefit of the doubt regarding his murder, blaming them on Vog instead of Cicero himself. But once Cicero attempted to arrest her, she revoked it, once again blaming him for the murder. He apparently failed to notice this detail.
How did Cicero reply?
He didn't. He proceeded to hit her on the head with his Polaris, totally destroying any chance he had of redeeming himself both in the eyes of Gwen and of the Spiral Order.

#Sonosuks
Well, men are gonna be men, standing around in the locker room- you know exactly where I'm going with this.
Cicero wanted to prove himself better than Gwen saw him, but the way he went isn't exactly one someone should do, especially in an attempt to redeem theirself and woo someone over.
Sat, 03/15/2014 - 18:32

And what's done is done. Let's just keep RP'in along.

*the Snarbolax prince bursts through the door*
*waves around an antitank rifle at everyone*
Okie dokie, is this RP still alive or is it dead or dying? I wish to jump in under the skin of a new hero, and you can bet he's gonna be a bada**!
*proceeds to do a bunch of strategic youth rolls around the room, still pointing the antitank rifle at everyone*
