Just an idea, but how does a small timeskip sound before the introduction of all the new students ?

We have a plan to do a timeskip of like a day or 2, and considering everything's winding down in the RP with their crazy day, I could see that timeskip happening before too terribly long, so that could probably work.

If I was going to apply then would it be best to wait until after the timeskip?

You can apply beforehand and jump in when the time skip happens.

Okay - are there a lot of Villainous characters at the moment?

I don't think there are any. Most people who are active on the RP are vigilantes. Heroes dorm has a few people and the villain dorm has I think less than 2 active players.

Ah, in that case I'll probably apply as a Villain then, should be interesting.

I have a villain, but he's on't a villain due to split personalities

I'm still waiting for MA to reply on what he thinks on the revised ending for Antonio's character arc thing before I post it.

As a suggestion, though, may I recommend trying to put more work into the villain character than a lot of people seem to do? And I mean beyond like just being evil as possible for the sake of being evil, and from what I have seen, the majority of time not being very intelligent in the process (Thinking of a debate one of my characters had in the thread with a villain). Of course, it's your character, but I've seen so many generic villains, I want to see a unique and interesting villain

I understand, I have quite a few ideas I'm going through to make a refined character for a Villainous role. Since this is a School RP I wonder how much I can get away with though.

May I advertise an RP here?

Caitlin will give you a whole lecture on why she considers herself to be a vigilante instead of a hero if you gave her the chance...Even if her reasoning for being a vigilante leans more towards wanting to do heroic deeds to help people. While Jodelle and Cassandra just kind of seem to have no opinions either way on being "heroic" and are just...vigilantes. Cassandra's probably a vigilante just because she's a rebellious teenager with an attitude

Yeah, I can understand that.

Frankly, the way I see it, most characters are Vigilantes because they're neutral and don't align themselves with either heroes or villains, not because they think of themselves as such.

On an entirely different note, I've been thinking of making another character, but I don't have a lot of ideas right now and I've been busier than usual (Which is to say, at all).

Oh, and now that I'm more awake, I'm thinking of more things related to villain characters I saw that felt kinda...not very bright. Even though I see a lot of people saying villains can't be smart, I disagree. Villains can be smart people in real life and as characters if people tried. But all these threats of trying to shut down the school, break into this or that, whatever other things they plotted to do, and the characters didn't seem to put much thought at all into how bad of an idea that would end up being.

Yeah. Pretty much. I'd probably even do the same if I could go to the school in real life.

Revive Raymond!

I would but that'd be awkward.

All I really remember about the character is him flipping a coin....

Yeah, I remember that.

But still, it would be awkward.

I guess I could reuse him, but acting as if he's a new arrival. Still not sure though.

I would say Abigale is a villain in the sense that Hitler was a villain.

She's willing to do horrible things in the name of her goal, which she feels is for the betterment of humanity. Unlike Hitler, her goal is actually a good one. She's just morally bankrupt and doesn't care who she steps on to get what she wants. She is a villain. She just happens to be on the same goal as almost everyone else.

Time to flip a coin to see whether I should have Elizabeth appear behind Ross and say "what was that about Russians?"

Not sure how Jodelle and Ross started rambling about climate change, but whatever

Seems about right.

I was just imagining Kira going "Russian's are so misunderstood....", since she's Russian and all and like the nicest person on the station

It's the accent. It makes them seem tougher. *nods*

Nationality: american
Height: 4"8
Weight: 110

Dorm: Villain
Brief Bio: a kid of a powered assassin and thief. not at all opposed to thievery, killing, and manipulation to get where she wants. trained by her parents until they were both brought down by the law. survived the war by hiding, and once capturing a vampire. she then saw back to planning, and avoided hitspots before they happened. favored long distance weapons, and has excellent aim. almost useless in group fights.

It is especially hard when you know about mat. Russians just are not the same anymore after one learns of mat.

Only because you are a long-time member of the exclusive club that is the people participating in this RP. So yes.

Accepted, just make sure that you don't use the seeback thing on any character without having their writer's approval first.

she's actually pretty polite, so unless the person is an enemy and/or a NPC, I will have her ask IC as well.
