OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE HER
Are we using the minor characters sheet?
I found the picture awhile ago but never found the right time to use it. But now I do
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.
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.
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 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?
XD I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

...You realize I must now make a character that absolutely obsesses over doing so. Right?
DO IT! I'm all for it XD
@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
@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.
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.
@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!!
