Because people will display their images no matter what.

Because humans are stubborn.


Unlike the raised fist of civil disobedience and resistance or the LGBT rainbow flag, the Nazi appropriation of the swastika has made it into a symbol which heralded death and suffering for millions of people.

I doubt they're quite on the same level in terms of symbolism.

(My love for 40K, tech priests and H+ comes from him). Anyway, I asked my mother if I could get one. She laughed and said, "sure". So off I went to find my uncle so he could draw one on with colorful sharpie markers. It lasted about a week because I took markers to it every evening. Needless to say, it eventually washed off and I had to wait eight whole years to get something more permanent. :p

Oh my gosh, that's funny!

When my mom planned to get a tattoo with my sister, she asked me if I wanted one.

I know I want a Confederate Flag, and maybe another symbol, but I don't know what. Maybe something that my dad liked, like an old rock band, or and Indian head.

My only regret is that I put it where I can't see it to appreciate it. :p

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. They removed the gland and a bunch of lymph nodes, and radiated the fuck out of me. Now we're just waiting to see if it spread to other parts of my endocrine system or other lymph nodes. We won't know for another month or so.

I'm atheist so I don't believe in God, but I don't mind if people want to pray. It brings them peace and creates positive energy and thoughts.

Oh, okay.

I will pray for you...

because, as you can probably tell, I am a Christian. And I know a little girl who had leukemia, and then her immune system was compromised and her heart grew too large(or something like that), and the doctors were literally saying 'there's no hope, just pull the plug on the feeding tube, it's the kind thing to do'. But we were all praying and then suddenly she was healed. She's better now, and she has Downs Syndrome but is so sweet it's amazing. So yes, I believe in the power of prayer.

I know you don't really, but that's okay.

I believe in god. I'm just not religious. I don't pray, go to church, nothing.

I feel awkward, being pulled into a group prayer, but I don't mind it. Eh.

Do not remove this search tag: #PLAPP
Your NS Nation's Nickname: Mincivet!

Character Name: Tavana of the House of Saib'k

Character Gender: Female

Character Species: Klingon

Character Physical Description: 6 feet, 180lbs. Like all Klingons, Tavana has redundant organs: 3 lungs, 2 stomachs, an 8 chambered heart, redundant neural functions. Also like all Klingons, she has prominent ridges on her forehead and nose with crooked sharp teeth and a dark brown complexion.

URL to Character Picture, if any: Tavana

Physical Attributes: Klingons have redundant organs that its society has believed to prolong a warrior's life in battle. Klingons have 3 lungs, 2 stomachs, an 8 chambered heart, even redundant neural functions. Cranial ridges on Klingons' forehead and nose are most noticeable.

Character Unique Skills(if any): Experienced leader (3) and combatant (2). Above average strength (2), endurance (1), stamina (1), perception (1).

Character Powers: N/A

Character Weaknesses/Flaws: Klingons are adverse to the cold, even with their redundant organs, they tend to stay away from such weather. While noted for their strengths, prowess and intelligence, it is their cultural background that limits them to contact with other species. Often Klingons are viewed as violent, loud, arrogant, and overtly hostile even in 'peace time'. Their cultural distinctiveness are often viewed as archaic, even barbaric to other 'civilized' societies.

Character Background/Biography: Proud and unforgiving, Tavana was the matriarch of Varth's Chosen. There she was in charge of all aspects of the organization, from enlisting warriors in their quests to helping the city of which the group is named after. She spent most of her life running the 'guild', and stayed within its hallowed halls for much of her life to ensure that its name and honor were maintained within her standards. Having spent most so much time guiding and assisting warriors, many thought her to be a woman mother-hen with nothing better to do, but quickly learned otherwise as she frequently led many into combat, ensuring or assuaging honor and help record every warriors noble deeds to ensure their own family's legacy. Now returned to her youth through the Warp, Tavana looks upon her transformation as a new chapter in life, pledging to make live up or exceed her own legacy back home.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: She literally demanded to come... it was wise not to deny her.

URL to Apartment Picture: Similar to Mezran's apartment but with the inclusion of a kitchen rather than a replicator.

Link to RP examples: Where it all began :D

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details: Tavana was the former matriarch of Varth's Chosen during Kahless' campaign against Molor the Tyrant and the Tribble Plague. A very proud and unforgiving woman, Tavana had accepted Mezran and his companions into her organization twice; their last encounter having been revealed their true identities and reasons for being on Qo'Nos. She showed mercy for their deception and requested that her clemency come at a simple price: to take her with them to Bielefeld. She was an old woman, convinced that her golden years would be filled with discoveries no other Klingon (in her time) would experience. Who knew that she'd be restored back to her prime and begin a new chapter of a very different life.

The crone has a name!

Bielefeld replies posted. I'll work on targstuff and teastuff next.

Also, maybe the PR peeps can come up with something empowering for the not-so-mundanes. Calling them "Abs" is just downright insulting, imho.

...now it's even more insulting.

Hmm, maybe... Homo Superior... or 'super' for short?

That's the best I can think of...

Also, before I continue, I'd like it to be confirmed that the killer did NOT have Aspergers Syndrome, mkay?

Since you're new, you missed that our allies include:

Swith Witherward wrote:[Hans said, "]We were a Sicherheitspolizei, [security police] an organization that operated behind the scenes to stop the creeping chaos, the rogue werewolves, rogue Cthulhu minions, and the like. We had our hands full. Recently, the government buckled under public pressure and expanded our duties. They added their own agents. We are not purely cultist any longer. We were re-branded the Untermenschen Sicherheitspolizei [subhuman security police] - or USiPo - and I am the newly-appointed director."

Note the use of the emphasized German term. There's an earlier German term that is perhaps more apropos: übermenschen, and this hasn't entirely escaped the notice of other players. ;)

*fans self* Mmmm eye candy.

Carly, yep, there's a TV.

Slo, ubermenschen is what Klaus' men were called during WWII. I honestly forget the history behind it, other than Himmler wanted to create a superior race, so he imbued men of superior breeding with what he thought was power... he didn't realize he had tapped into daemon things when doing the ritual with the newly formed SS men.

Charlia, um, the killer didn't have Aspergers Syndrome. Why on earth would anyone think he did?
