OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE HER

I found the picture awhile ago but never found the right time to use it. But now I do
 
Are we using the minor characters sheet? 



I was thinking about that and I decided yeah, I'm gonna use the minor sheet. I kind of just use the allegiance/motivation section as an amalgamation of personality and background history nowadays though lol. You guys can use whatever sheets you want for your characters though. If you want to go more in depth with a minor character, then feel free to use the major sheet.

She's adorable. I think you should go the route of either a consciousness transferred into a robotic body (that would fit in nicely to the lore because the thing with the Founders established that that is possible) or maybe she's like a transformer-like race from a planet of robot dudes or whatever. Maybe a bunch of robots established a barren planet as like a robot planet and settled it or something like that. I just think whatever direction you take, she should never not be a robot cause that fc is so kawaii it killed me.

I love the idea of a race of robot people living on a planet. Im totally doing that. 
 
@RubyRoseI have one thing to say about the anthro character;


pet fluffeh tail

XD I'm sure she wouldn't mind. 


Guys, if my science is off or flawed I apologize. I came up with the culture of these creatures a couple years ago and though I've tried fact checking, I'm a bit... well... dumb when it comes to science fiction truths. So I apologize >.< I have attempted to cover everything I could think of and at least make it realistically plausible, if not entirely possible.

Don't even worry about it dude, no one here is an expert on alien anatomy and astronomy XD We're all bullshitting a bit
 
So Blaze, how do you want me to go about posting the Captain? Should I wait until we have a name for the pirates etc etc? 


I don't have her written yet, I was focusing on Nola (which means white shoulder ;D  Because I'm so creative XD ) but I notice that the Space Pirates thread isn't up jut yet. 


Does the ship name Deviance and Captain Maverick work alright?

Yeah that works perfectly :D  I was hoping you guys could help me come up with a name. That we have a captain and a ship it should be a lot easier. I'll put up a dummy thread and add a description later.

...You realize I must now make a character that absolutely obsesses over doing so. Right?
 
@SirBlazeALot


So... Does Captain Maverick check out or should I try again? XD 


EDIT: 


@Maki


So I pulled one of those 'ask forgiveness instead of permission moments' by giving Maverick a magic book. Does everything checkout alright with that? I just thought it'd be cool to drag that into the mix and it answered how a human of any kind could be a successful space pirate when there are so many beings out there stronger and more intelligent then humans XD

I haven't read them yet but I'll check them out when I get a mo.

Aight space guys I posted my orion girl and I'm really happy with the way she turned out because I ended up winging her allegiance/motivation, and I think I created some pretty sick doors for other characters and stuff. Idk, I've had that faceclaim sitting in my collection for a real god damn long time (Ninjers people will recognize the art style as being identical to Vlad's, so however long I've had Vlad for is how long I've had that faceclaim) and I've never been able to come up with anything and now I have and I'm pretty happy with how she turned out. however, now I'm also like "the pressure's on" because I wanna create a character for the pirates with a lore that's just as extensive.


Anyways, ruby, I'm gonna go read yours cause I've been hella hyped for space recently since you guys got hella hyped for space and I want the hype train to keep on chuggin. 
 
@RubyRose


Kay so just got back from reading your characters and holy shitballs man. Holy fucking shitballs. I'm gonna do my best to organize my thoughts, but keep in mind everything after this sentence is pretty much just pure fangasming. Also keep in mind, I'm more in line with "SirDrinksALot" rn than SirBlazeALot. I'm gonna pull a Wavebird and dissociate these two identities lmfao. I WILL PROOFREAD THOUGH CAUSE I WANNA AT LEAST MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO BE CLEAR IN MY PRAISE.


Glow Worm - What the fuck Ruby. What the fuck. An alien species that communicates primarily in a visual fashion as opposed to an auditory fashion? WHAT THE FUCK THAT'S FUCKING INCREDIBLE. That your mind even conceived of a species that's capable of doing that shit is just like... fuck where's the Tim & Eric Mind Blown gif.


tim-and-eric-mind-blown.gif



What the fuck man. Like what the fuck. Like it's not a mind blow because it's like some revolutionary shit or anything, obvi sign language is a thing. It's just like. With lights though. WITH LIGHTS. That's fuckin awesome man. I was reading through the sheet and I got to her name and how you were saying it's super hard to pronounce and I was just thinking it was like a series of clicks and very specific mouth noises or something but DAMN. I don't know. I just think it's cool. Like yeah, a species of thingies that glows and shit and lives underground totally would communicate via light flashes and stuff that's fucking awesome. And I really hope I'm not misinterpreting what you wrote because it'll make me look like a fuckin idiot but it won't be the first time so fuck it. That's a really cool idea man. It made me be like, "Fuck I gotta go back and edit Shira's headset" because when I said her headset can LISTEN to any language and translate it, I was just on the train of thought that language works on an auditory medium. Now I have to go back and fix that shit eventually to designate that her ears only work on auditory languages because SOME languages aren't auditory. (I'm just imagining a species that communicates via petting each other it's fucking glorious). Fuckin' cool man fuckin' cool. What else do I have to say about Glow Worm.


OH. Her ability to control flame. I had a question. What's all that about? Cause you said it's not something that every bro in her race can do. And that interests me because when I was writing Shira's profile, the idea the humans are very special because they're "genetically malleable" was a really big thing for me, what with there being supers and stuff. Because if you think about it, we rarely hear about aliens that have abilities beyond that of their species. Usually, an alien species is already considered superpowered by human standards. And when I was writing Shira's profile, I almost put "Humans are the most genetically malleable species due to expressing something like the Super Gene" but then I put my GM hat on and I was like, "Nah, if someone wants to make an alien that has super powers that aren't common among their race I shouldn't cockblock them from doing that" and I think you exactly did that with Nola. So that's pretty rad, and her race is one that I'll have to include on a list of genetically malleable races. I think it's perfect for her race and humans though, because they're a weaker race to begin with. Like take the Tengari or the Eadral. Making it possible for them to have something akin to a super gene just makes them WAY too OP. But for Humans or the Ihmiset Hehku it's cool because they're like average. Anyway lets move on to Maverick.


Captain Maverick: She's a fuckin' badass. 'Nuff said from jump, but lemme go into detail. FIRST OF ALL. I never even conceived of there being a magic Book of Life holy shitballs. And it's funny because I have like, my own school of magic if i were to ever create a game where I needed schools of magic, and Life is one of those schools. Down to the literal word "Life". Sagittarius high five? *high five* But really, when I imagined those magic books, I only ever imagined there being Fire Water Earth and Air. But I think you totally blew the lid off of that whole concept by being like 1. The volumes extend beyond those elements and 2. Somebody in space -- OUTER FUCKIN SPACE -- has one of those volumes. That's fuckin rad. Especially since I was hoping, REALLY HOPING, someone would make one of their characters have a connection to magic. Because I feel like despite magical settings and sci-fi settings having quite a bit in common, they don't crossover much. So I was really hoping that someone would make one of their characters have a connection to magic, in some way shape or form. And ya did and it was amazing. Rad as fuck man. You asked me if the Cap checks out? Fuck yeah the Cap checks out.


Anyways, I'm hella hype for space, I'm also pretty drunk, bout to drink more and play more pokemon sun. no sleep till brooklyn. love the chars Ruby.

Blaze, you made me cry XD It's really awesome being appreciated and I'm glad that Nola and Maverick made such a big impact. Just... thanks. Thank you so very much. I just... don't know what to say other then thank you. And I'll try to answer your questions. But I'm a little overwhelmed. 


((So... someone needs to create a character that communicates through touch. Because that could be such a thing. Just like body language in humans except more!!)) But... well... I remember discussing Nola when I was creating her for that assignment. We actually had to make a culture and what not as part of the assignment and I wanted to have such a different character from everyone else that I did some serious brainstorming. And she's what I came up with and I drew her to try and match that image (So glad I decided black with white stripes instead of white with black, though I may draw that as an 'albino' type Glow Person eventually). She's one of my best drawings in my opinion so I'm glad I get to actually give her a use. 


As to your question about her, I didn't mean her people can't control fire. Sorry, I should have been more clear... they all can but they've never had the need nor chance to and so they don't know their own capabilities. I mean, it could easily be that Nola is special but I was thinking more 'this is a species of impressive beings that don't know half of their talents because they are content to be as they are, without exploring their abilities'. I mean, they weren't even interested enough to try building any means to see other planets or any technology in general. They are like seriously backwaters; no tech, no tools, they just exist in harmony and spend their days lighting up the darkness. 


So that's what I meant, hope that doesn't upset too much. I think it's cool to have the humans star in something... even if it is just that their DNA is the most flexible XD 


I'm also really glad that you like Captain Maverick. I was trying really hard to make a human but I just don't believe a regular run of the mill human would be a successful space pirate, you know? So I had to find a way to extend her life and I had been wanting to connect her to an existing character so... the book and Golden Sun became her connection. Still, just really glad that you like her. And I hope that this opens up some options for everyone else on why the people are part of the crew and the types of people they all are. I mean, they could all be pretty old and skilled because of it :) I'm so psyched to see everyone else's characters. 


Enjoy your drunkeness XD Also, you should tell me how far you are in Sun and who you have as a team because I'm playing Moon and I was lucky enough to run into a Shiny Growlithe starting out, so that's part of my team. There's also Grimer, Charjabug (?) and... the final evolution of Cutiefly. Still have two spaces open for other useful pokemon (really wanted dewpider to work out but bug types are so hard to work with >.< ). I'm surprised Cutiefly was as useful as it's been o.o. 


ANd man, the work you put into Shirah... when I am not so tired I am going to tell you how fucking awesome she is. But right now I am all written out :P And I want to make sure my critique means as much to you as your critique just now meant to me. :)


((Also, is anyone else bothered by the new emoticons? They look like creepy scarecrow things to me >.<)) 
 
@SirBlazeALot


I am really sorry about not commenting on Shira yet. I was going to this morning and then my mom asked if I was going to do a slideshow of all of her pictures of the volleyball girls that was for the banquet. This evening. So I spent a good 7 or 8 hours putting a ton of pictures to catch songs that entirely lasted not even a full 7 minutes. BUT I GOT IT DONE! I am also exhausted and I work tomorrow so my critique on Shira is going to have to be held off another day. And my other critiques. And posts in general. BUT! Do not despair! I will catch up with everything! Eventually! Just... not today >.< 


HOPE EVERYONE HAD AN AWESOME DAY!! <3  
 
I plan on posting today. Sorry for such a delay, family stayed much longer than I anticipated 
 
@SirBlazeALot


Okay, I finally have a whole minute to sit down and focus (okay, a little more then a minute). But only long enough to talk about one thing and I want to talk about Shira because I need to talk about her. So. I will >.< 


First off, that face claim is super freakin' cute. So yes. Man, you always have really fantastic face claims for your characters, though (I mean a lot of people do). But your characters... a lot of the times it's almost like that image was made to be the character you envisioned. Anyway, dude, awesome job in choosing the face of your not quite hero. 


Next up... how much time do you spend writing characters? Because there was so much thought put into so much of her. She's like super ninja robot girl and since even the 'good guys' have to steal things every once in awhile I can see how she's going to be like a super important part of the team. Can I have her sword, though? Because that's amazing. Can you imagine having something that could change into just about anything? Oh, random question... can it turn into like... a pistol? And if it does, does it make it's own amo? Any ideas on what the blade is actually made out of? If the item has limitless thicknesses and weapons, I'm really curious what material (and I don't need a super scientific answer and if you're doing the whole 'magic' thing, that's cool too. Dad and I often discuss how dragons have to be magic because otherwise they couldn't fly without super freakin' ginormous wings which in the end probably wouldn't work. I'm just curious.. like I'm picturing a type of material that's mass doesn't follow Earth's rules... I remember erading a story once where a being could change into a dragon and also had a human form... and the human form was like a compression of it's dragon form so their cells were a lot denser. You know, energy wasn't lost, just compacted... and that's kind of how I'm picturing that sword.). 


Oh gods, could you imagine having to give up an arm? I don't know i I'd be able to trust technology but then I also wasn't raised how Shira was. Her conceptualizing on why it was her right arm was fascinating and says a lot about her character; at least to me. Also, after seeing the way you explained the suit I want to go back and go through her suits capabilities to be a little more clear but I'm not entirely sure what to add in just yet. Still, Blaze, way to always pay like serious attention to detail. It's a skill you seem to have strongly and I'm glad you put it to use so often because you rock at paying attention to details. 


Good but not... her backstory is fascinating and I just... was blown away by the amount that went into it. As the theme of this post seems to be. Just 'god Blaze, how do you think of all these things and think to actually add them in'? XD Seriously though, man, it's freakin' awesome. It's going to be interesting when that 'but not' comes into play and talk about betrayals. 


Super cool, man. You freakin' rock at character creation and it's awesome when you make new characters though I still wonder how you manage to keep up with all of them. Even when you're not playing all of them. Just. What Even. Anyways, awesome character and I'm psyched to see what you come up with for a pirate and what everyone comes up with. I'm just super psyched because posts and characters!! :D

Often times when I'm making characters and I'm using more than just their face for their design, I like to incorporate the little details of the face claim into their power set or back story. For instance, I had no intention of giving her a robotic arm until I noticed one of her arms was black and the other was white. So I asked myself "why is that?" and the answer was "because that arm is artificial." Why does she wear black and white? Because her dad's last name is Yamaha (literally looked over at my keyboard for that one XD) What are those ears for other than looking super kawaii? They're for translating foreign languages and they're cat themed because she has some kind of connection to cats. Why does she have a connection to cats? Because she was kidnapped by an alien overlord before she was born and was conceived under the constellation Leo, so on and so forth. So that's probably why some of my characters seem like they were designed to be the character I wrote. It's kind of like the other way around though, they're written based off their design. It's not something I can do for every character, because sometimes I just want their face and I pick out the rest of their design myself. Like Courtney for example!


How much time I spend really depends on the day XD For Shira, I filled in bits and pieces of her throughout the day, and then finally finished her backstory and detailing right before I posted her :3 


SHIRA'S SWORD!!! I like it a whole lot too man. I was just thinking, "man, this character needs more than just a sword" and bam. The idea is inspired by what I imagine a 3D printer to be like. So to go into further detail on that, no, the sword can't turn into ranged weaponry. I imagine the material is, in essence, physical computer data generated and printed by the handle. The black "ink" inside of it is just some space mumbo jumbo. It's sort of like magical engineering you know? I imagine in a universe where magic exists, magic and science crossover quite a bit to where they can be indistinguishable from one another at times. If you think about it, the method of space travel the Founders created by generating wormholes could be considered magical as well.


Omg dude, I was going to make it so that she accidentally lost her arm, but I thought it would show way more about the type of person she is if she gave it up voluntarily. I'm glad that came through and you understood how big of a factor that is for her characterization. The devil is in the details, and the effort of the writer including them is wasted if the reader doesn't notice them and think about them. So good on you for being an excellent reader. You're always noticing the little things like that that I use to give characters a bit more depth.


Her backstory was spur of the moment, it just started flowing from the fingertips XD And it made me go back and change her alias from Star Cat to Agent Leo. Stuff like that is honestly just lightening in a bottle, and most of it stemmed from me just making her last name Oh because I thought it sounded cool lol. I thought it would be interesting to shake up the team a bit with a rogue character and I can't wait to see how that'll play out in the future :3


Thanks for your analysis Ruby, I love these things XD It's so fun to talk about things like this outside of our PMs. I'm still having no luck with my pirate but after cruising through my faceclaim collection I came up with ideas for several other characters and I just... I'm totally gonna make em lmfao. But I really wanna get my pirate down first. Just haven't had any luck with both ideas and faceclaims yet. 
 
When you're trying to post but the authors block is killing you. I'll definetly get a post out tonight unless I get distracted af. But I'll try not to do that. 


Edit: I'm actually more free tomorrow afternoon than I am today. I feel I don't post tomorrow kick me please
