Latz I'm pretty sure you did it again.

Did I? Darnit, I only wrote that part after Ariel wrote a lovely description of vehicles exploding and Germans dying from her flamma.

On a side note, I may rewrite Ian's history seeing as him being an Irishman in WWII could be trouble by the fact that Ireland declared neutrality during it. So, I may make him a former Fenian (Irishman in Australia), but this is all on a maybe.

This is understandable, but the officer is potentially a relatively important NPC, compared to the rest of the soldiers. I would wait to change anything until Agri says something, anyway.

My next post will start dropping pretty interesting details on the Beast, which the PCs will meet very, very soon.

It's fine.

I'll post tonight.

So I had a post readied up for today, but I'd actually like to give some catching up space for those who didn't have time to post, like Mon, Wolf and Mnar. Will continue tomorrow morning.

Thanks. I'll get it up once I'm done doing some yard work around the house.

Who's been your favourite character, so far? For me, it's a close tie between Jannie, Matt, Markus, Robert (his almost-everyman demeanour is highly amusing)

If I were anymore of a narcissist, I'd say Markus. But I'm biased on that matter.

I enjoy Norv's RP style, and Matt possesses a fun dynamic and set of morals that I think Markus will collide rather violently with later on down the road, which I'm looking forward to. Jannie is interesting the same way any werewolf views a vampire (in popular media, anyhow). Robert is funny. Definitely.

Don't really have a favorite, though.

It's sparse, but it's there

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure myself. I like Matt's Captain America vibe most, but not really decisive enough to make him my favourite. I suppose I'm just a bit biased towards my own characters, despite a lack of character development so far.

I had changed my character to be a mage who can manipulate air and thunder, aka aeromancy. The app is cool, right?

I'm not sure I could pick a favourite, but I have to say, Jannie's unique sense of values is quite interesting. She seems to be a very real character to me, because she's so inhuman in her worldview and mannerisms, yet so human in the same simultaneously. That said, many other characters have similarly interesting moralities and self-contradictions that are just wonderful. Matt's optimism is particularly interesting: he's been through so much, yet the fact that he still manages to retain such humanity -- in thought, in morals, in action, in tenacity -- is kind of fascinating, really.

I've got to pack for LA in a bit, but I will try to get a post up soon.

by **Latznavia** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:59 am

I am saying Jannie, that and Polina are great characters. Looking at them and then at Anatoly, it makes me sad that I can't add as much flare for Anatoly due to his Soviet and Harsher upbringing, although I hope to make that up in Ian McKinnon.

I may repost his app tonight with new backstory, as mentioned before Ireland declared themselves neutral during the war and thus they were disbarred from joined British Military, although I might make him an Aussie (descendant of Irish Prisoners) or a Fenian (escaped from Australia to America).

Important notice: Firstly, sorry about not posting for the last few days. We've been outrageously deprived of electricity. Eskom calls it load shedding, but I call that bullshit. I never thought I'd get tired of take-away pizza.

Secondly and more importantly, I won't be able to post until the 15th of August. It turns out my parents have a limited Internet access package / quota / contract thingy, and it was reached a while ago. As I don't want to burden them unduly with the extra costs, I shall abstain from the Internet until I get back to my place. Sorry about this, people.

Therefore, Agri, sorry to spring that on you like this, but could you take over Sophie until then, if that's still the plan? Thank you very much.

While Matt is pretty great,

Jannie would be a better Mass Effect companion.

So, since I'm going on holiday to Cornwall on Saturday for a week, the chances of me being able to get posts up is minimal because I might not have Internet and if I do I probably won't have that much time on it to post because holiday.
