Nightkill and G-Tech make an rp (Closed)

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Calvinism = predestination = I only kill people because it's God's prefabricated plan = it's okay to kill people.

Ergo, it's the chosen religion of the mercenary and the cutthroat.

This is surprisingly not completely different from some of the actual reasons why I am a Calvinist.

Night, I'm a Catholic. We don't have a belief like the one of the Calvinists, and yet we invented the Crusades.

To be fair, predestination is the only logical extrapolation of an omniscient diety.

To extrapolate: in this world, victory often goes not to the right cause, but to the stronger one. This is empirically true. So sometimes, we have to do questionable things for good ends, like kill bad people. We can either say that this violates God's plan for us - in which case God's plan is violated every time we do bad things for good reasons - or we can say that God's plan for us is complete, universal, and inviolable - in which case we do what we must and in so doing we also do what God wills. It's a slippery slope, but it at least is morally consistent; the only other morally consistent religious ethic is the absolutism of the Quakers, which is obviously too impractical for me to accept.

Norv, I'd pay gold to see a civil debate about theology between you and Distruzio.

I'll be the one in the audience, sipping an obnoxiously large soda and laughing at the most inopportune moments.

You have never told us about your religious background, Nat.

You have never told us about your religious background, Nat.

Well, it is quite well-known that I'm an atheist, and that the religious philosopher I most agree with also wrote about talking mattresses and depressed robots.

I was born to a Catholic and a non-denominational Christian, which would no doubt raise hell a hundred years ago but is pretty much irrelevant now. Neither practice, though both are slightly annoyed that I'm not Christian, but don't particularly care. As far as my paternal grandmother knows, I'm Catholic, and as far as my maternal grandparents know, who gives a shit? I became an atheist because I just did; there's no real reason for it, I just am, being as it is the "default" for a human being. I read an awful lot about religion regardless, including sometimes ones that aren't about aliens, and while I understand it and have a healthy respect for it and its role in human society, I would be lying if I said I don't find this god business just a bit silly.

In other words, nothing you couldn't have guessed and absolutely nothing of note.

Did you get baptized, though? If you were, well, welcome to the Lapsi.

My brother was, but that was only to appease my grandmother. When I was born (nine years later), she had moved on.

Oh well. We still have an abundance of Lapsi in the clique.

I've only ever been in mass for family stuff. (Though I did attend church daycare for maybe a month.)

Catholic mass is the worst thing to ever happen to me, but Methodists are only slightly better.

Just looked him up. In the interests of avoiding a repeat of the Thirty Years' War, I think I'll bow out.

I find them pleasant. Stopped being a sunday regular a few years ago, but I have no problems in participating in a mass (unless if the priest is boring as fuck.). I even take communion, when I can.

Though I never did confession.

Ah, but I was polishing my crusader armour and finishing to dip my sword in holy water....

[The New Lowlands]

I think the RP sample is fine. If G doesn't have any other objections, this can be approved.

In absence of any complaints from G which I've seen;
sweet.

Yep. Take lack of speech as assent.

Yeah, those particular jokes tend not to be that funny, mate.

Point taken, I'll refrain from it in future.

No worries. We tend to use a lot of dark humour, so you can make plenty of other very dark jokes.

*Sigh* I don't want to that guy, but I'm not sure if this was missed or not as I checked back and didn't see anything...

Ah, I apologize. Yesterday I was wearing a silly robe and throwing a graduation hat in the air...

Name: Lucien Marcoux

Age:: 36

Ethnicity: French

Sexual orientation: Self described straight, though his flamboyant nature and deep rooted male chauvinism may imply other directions of interest...

Religion: Roman Catholic upbringing

Languages: Fluent French and English (however, my French is not France French, nor is it that good so I'll be utilizing a translator I suppose.

Appearance: Lucien appears to be the essential wolf in sheep's clothing, a meek looking figure with a crooked smile and a slicked back mess of black hair on his head. His eyes appear deep and aged, but on a dime, they can turn and seem jovial and light. He has attractive young features, including a sharp roman nose and a skinny face, but a small line of upper lip hair adds some years to his young face.

Personality: Lucien's appearances lie with every innocent smile and every kind deed. He's a masterful monster in every regard. Prideful but clever, hateful but genuine, you know his kind as that of the generous asshole. He smiles brightly at situations, and his voice waves at the higher end of the spectrum as he explains how he wants to stab you in the stomach. He's a character of apparent class, though this is only a wish and not an ingrained trait his scumbag past shining through with his slang and lack of true table manners. He's a male chauvinistic pig, despising women who strive for greatness. You could call him repressing homosexual feelings or whatever, but believe it when his high nosed face looks down upon every one of the other gender.

History: Though he exudes a flair of arrogance often seen with the rich and the fancy, Lucien was the 3rd child of a 7 person family who lived in lower middle class conditions of Paris. Lucien remembers sweet days of happiness and brief monetary strife, all so very boring to adventure book reading child. As most criminals were, Mr. Marcoux was the worst of students, a shit disturber who refused to learn like other class mates. He would threaten, scream, and usually fight to get his way. His teeth would flash, and in an instance, he would push his enemy into the corner with him and kick and bite to victory. His bouts of violence threatened to have him expelled, and after a final incident with a certain switch blade cutting another student's chest, Lucien was rightfully removed from the education system. Lucien could have been a doctor with his intellect, the teachers would remorse, as they wiped his name from the chalk board with a grin. His cold but even showed through to his family, who warned of boarding schools and other false threats their money couldn't afford. His furious engagements with his father, the aged pugilist "Le Loup Diable" over the treatment of his younger brother and himself forced a bloody nosed and broken jawed Lucien to depart from family matters.

Shedding his family life from his being, the small time crook and bully became involved with local crime groups as a young man, and specialized as a crime soldier and hitman. He ran a front of a flower shop (Fleur de Lucien) like his father, which had a record for being burned down more times than the black families' home. Enemies prevalent indeed. But alas, how Lucien did dream of better achievements. Of being rich and famous among the stars of the world. And like all good stories, his dreams did come true. His rise and notoriety put him above that of the mere gang killings, and Lucien gained the high life he always dreamed about; killing wealthy politicians for wealthy politicians. For enormous wads of l'argent, was the prospect of being a threat for political figures. The queen chess piece of the low life, his very fine accuracy with a revolver and ruthless intellect caused headlines to say nothing, because he wasn't no Bonnie or Clyde or nothing. However, behind the scenes, he fared quite well, enough for him to have had the opportunity to hear about the wonderful world of South Africa with the Company, where war and conflict was a morning breath of air. As a man who was born to conflict, raised in conflict, and strives for conflict, he was going to enjoy this foreign land of death.

RP Sample I'm apparently being vouched for, but if you're not convinced, I can make a paragraph...

You can make him Canadian if you worry your European French won't work.
