Nexus OoC V: Suxen Eht Nioj!

[Reinholdt]

Imagine this happening one day to a basically decent person who hadn't actually done any of that stuff.

Depends. Does she secretly like the memories? Buried deep, does she wish she could do them again? Is she repressing evil through guilt?

[horngeek]

Nope. There is the Great Curse (her manifestation turns her into a sadist when it goes off) but otherwise... nope. Not at all.

[Reinholdt]

...
Yep, don't understand her.

[FireFox]

Yeah, I know.

Obviously, I can't know how you're planning on RPing such a character, but it seems to me, and I'm probably betraying my ignorance here, that it would get old very quickly. Yeah, you could get two or three quality angst monologues out, but... Well, I know I would get bored with the repetition shortly thereafter. Do you have a plan to develop the character beyond that, or are you going to play it by ear and expand on the personality and self-confliction as inspiration strikes?

[Recaiden]

Nope. There is the Great Curse (her manifestation turns her into a sadist when it goes off) but otherwise... nope. Not at all.

Doesn't seem like much of a problem for her, then.

[horngeek]

Cept she's afraid she will become like that.

And yeah, I do have plans to expand on her.

[Moff Chumley]

Chumley had to shoot everyone she knew and cared about... amidoinitrie?

[Project_Mayhem]

Raz lost his porche in an explosion he was involved in creating.

[Ashen Lilies]

Nope. There is the Great Curse (her manifestation turns her into a sadist when it goes off) but otherwise... nope. Not at all.

I'm not sure I get this then. Why would she angst? If she finds the very thought of committing those acts repulsive, and generally doesn't agree with them, or fails to even find them the slightest bit tempting on any level whatsoever, why would she be afraid that she would become Just Like Him?

[Project_Mayhem]

Presumably because all Exalted inevitably give into their curse at some point?

[horngeek]

Actually probably not going to do it in FFRP. The concept, on reflection, works better in an actual Exalted game.

[happyturtle]

"I postulate that they don't. GLoG is supposed to be broke, yet they manage to avoid foreclosure every time. I think it is directly proportional to their lack of a mail box."

Plot Clone Nadas makes the meeting.

The fact that the First Bank of Inside went permadeadtime with Neon's departure also helps avoid foreclosure. >.>

[Trobby]

Mrrf. I don't really feel like doing Nexus RP lately. :( I'm going to put my characters on hiatus.

But I don't particularly like Deadtime as an excuse for long periods of time, so here's what they're doing behind the scene!


Captain Tobias

Tobias has been struck with a disease called "Convenientitis"! He'll be bedridden until his player returns. He has left all Airship duties in the capable hands of his first mate Valeriya.

Krissy

Spunky catgirl Kris has gotten a chance to visit her home world! She'll be hanging out with her dear friends until she gets back, showing off her awesome new denim skills!

Katie

Katie will be working at NO's forge, supplementing their cache of Catfolk Army weapons with modern-day weapons, while honing her craft!

Davidson

Matt Davidson has had some trouble keeping up with his rent, so he's going to be calling in a favor from one of his old buddies and searching for a cheaper place to live. In the meantime, he's taking this week/day/time period to prepare for his classes!

The Programmer

After dying and having his code re-constructed behind the realm of the Nexus, he's taking some time off in the Bahamas, sipping cool tropical drinks under the shade of a palm tree.

The Hidden Sixth Character

After defeating Lord Z in a pitched battle where she nearly lost her power coin, she's entering a gymnastics tournament. But will the evil Rita Repulsa put a monkey wrench in her plan? I don't know. This character doesn't even exist.

[Project_Mayhem]

Nooo, Kateh ...

Whos Raz going to hit on now?

[Maxios]

I heard somewhere on here about an Ebon Dragon. Can someone explains to me what it is?

[Recaiden]

It's a character from the Exalted setting. Here. There was also a good description somewhere in Arts and Crafts.

[Morty]

Ebon Dragon is a character from the Exalted universe that some players here like to draw upon when making characters. It's a Very Big and Very Bad guy there, essentially. Of course, he has absolutely no effect on the Nexus and has only been mentioned once OOC by mistake, IIRC.

[Maxios]

Alright. Thanks for telling me.

[Morty]

Hm. I had a crazy idea recently - inspired mostly by NexusStock - so I'm throwing it out there. How would a martial arts even be recieved in the Nexus? Basically a big event to draw all those close combat specialists of the Nexus in one place to talk, compare styles and duel.

[ThirdEmperor]

Prince would totally be there to kick butt. As would the Weatherman.

[Project_Mayhem]

Ooh - we did this in vampire. You could have several competitions - magic, no magic, and anything goes. So magical princess's can spar with each other, and mundanes can spar with mundanes

[Morty]

I don't think something like this is necessary... after all, this is the Nexus. You can bring a sword to a gunfight and win. I'm not sure if a mundane/not mundane separation is necessary.

[Lix Lorn]

Excuse me, I believe you mean fhtagn.

Quite possibly. Send my apologies to he who dreams.

[The Bushranger]

The fact that the First Bank of Inside went permadeadtime with Neon's departure also helps avoid foreclosure. >.>

That and the fact GLoG is...actually rather flush with money now. <_<


@Intro: v.v *hugs*

[Maxios]

Hey guys, would anyone be interested in doing a Halloween plot involving a quest to find a hoard of candy?

[ApeofLight]

Foro and Vaze would both totally be interested. Though I think the you need to be specific in this. Would range weapons be allowed? Spells? Long range energy attacks? Pretty much, how do you define close combat. Is it just no long range weapons and spells?

[horngeek]

They've commissioned a MANSE.

Yes. Even if GLoG never goes back to being a base, they have officially moved out of 'in poverty'.

[The Bushranger]

Well, I was referring to Ape's character's 'charitable donation(s)'. But that too.


@Morty: Dani wants to enter.

[horngeek]

On the martial arts thing: I'd enter Karen and Meidani. Both have rather... different... styles of combat.

The way I define it, "martial arts" is form of combat that uses melee weapons or unarmed fighting. Magic is definetly not martial arts, unless used to augment close combat attacks. The details would vary on who actually runs it. If Wenomir were to be involved, he'd treat everything more supernatural than what he has(i.e. almost everything) as "godling tricks" and not martial arts.

Didn't Karen just walk in and said "Hai guys, I'm making a manse" and everyone agreed?

@Morty: Dani wants to enter.

I'd call Dani many things, but "martial artist" wouldn't be among them...

Sounds good.
