[FwM] Recruitment/OOC/Character Thread

[Benson]

Hey, not my fault ponies keep getting shot in their vitals around Mach! Easy to lose track of them all.

Touche

[Grif]

Am I seeing yet another GwynxGrills here? Oh Gwyn you're so courtable.

[MCerberus]

Somebody call UPS, we've got a whole lot of shipping to do!

It's that sparkling personality of hers, that just makes her so shippable

[Crisis21]

The one that sparkles like a bomb fuse?

More or less. Who wouldn't want a sparkling lit bomb on their hooves?

Grif, Dreamrunner hasn't realized it, but she was actually in love with the Heavy Weapons Pony. They were pretty inseparable while they were mercenaries together for RED. But Dreamrunner still healed those who needed it.

Interesting. So she followed Heavy everywhere? (Well duh, Medics do that.)

Although I'm thinking we should keep the TF2 references to a minimum, so that other ponies won't go bwuh? when they read our posts. (By minimum I mean don't go about mentioning TF2-specific information without some plausible explanation by the standards of ponyverse. That bit about engineers setting up dispensers was already stretching things somewhat when I read back, since it was obvious Bridle Shores didn't have those tech.)

I introduced Shell Shock as more of a joke character who showed up in the side scenes blowing up mooks and deliberately worded my bio so that it only references the game obliquely. (I don't mention BLU or RED by name, and kept what he does vague.)

Ah, okay. I introduced Dreamrunner as a medic because in the other RP, she has Medic training and has a medic gun. Plus, since it was a battle it seemed the perfect time for her to be brought in.
And yeah, she did follow the heavy a lot.
The dispensers were stretching it, but they only have ammo, scrap metal, and needles that it holds. In the game it basically just skips you grabbing needles and injecting them into yourself by showing a tendril of red/blue energy connecting to you.

[Grif]

Woah there Brazen. You do know what the medic implies right?

[Mindfreak]

She's going to remove his heart briefly. For the whole 'procedure' look up Meet the Medic on YouTube.

[Grif]

He takes it.

Epic quotes from Meet the Medic time.

"What was noise?"
"The sound of progress, my friend!"

[TechnoScrabble]

"You would not believe...how much this hurts!"

[Mindfreak]

"Archimedes?"

I never actually expected to get Brazen's wings fixed.
Mebbe now he'll be less crude and snappish. He's already managed to go a whole five posts without insulting someone.

I'm guessing you haven't met Gwyn. She's a paragon of virtue, she is.

[Mindfreak]

I'm guessing you haven't met Gwyn. She's a paragon of virtue, she is.

She is, always helping other ponies without asking for anything in return.

Also, Dreamrunner is a bit of a domanitrix, so Brazen will be awfully sore after tonight.

Oi, and on his first run, too.

What? He was a kid when all the crazy stuff started happening, do you really think he had the time to find a lady friend or whatever in the ensuing extracraziness?

[MCerberus]

We should have a shipping pool for the next pair to get involved in As The Pony Turns.

[Benson]

I'm guessing you haven't met Gwyn. She's a paragon of virtue, she is.

She's a saint, always humble and so gentle, so very lady-like and kind with her words.

"Hey, maybe you should stop by my hotel room tonight. I doubt that other pony is going to come by tonight."

just for giggles I almost want the wacky scandalous awkward-ness to ensue if he does

[TechnoScrabble]

So...who's the captain of the guard or equivalent pony 'round Bridle Shores?

[MCerberus]

the captain's out surveying the damage with a couple of the other political powers right now I believe.

[Crisis21]

The Captain is simply known as the Captain. His NPC profile is here.

Everyone remind me to update the front page when I get back. I've been neglecting it.

The ball is in Icy's court...

Missed that post. Apologies.

[Mystic Muse]

After considering it for a while, I think I have to remove myself from control of one of the generals. The character idea I have I just like too much to have her end up dead, a lot of people here seem to think she shouldn't be capable of redemption, and I really dislike the "I got better" trope except when used for comedic purposes.

I still say that if a Planar-cidal weapon of the Eldritch gods who has destroyed several hundred planes is potentially capable of redemption, so is this pony.

I may disagree with the concept, but heck, it's your character. She won't end up dead unless you say so.

I'd like to check with the people with characters who are the man whether they're okay with Staccata showing up at the bar or if there's going to need to be a whole scene around getting there.

Well, Zach is the man. But don't worry it's okay with him if Staccata goes to the bar.

Oh wait, you meant if they were part of the guard or militia?
