Out of Character Chat

@Pequeno Burraidh I cannot even begin to describe how nice it is to have you back! Loved both of your posts. I will probably be posting for Stacy again sometime tomorrow or late tonight. For Scarlet, @CelticHero37 would you like to collab sometime? I just started a new quarter in school so I probably won't have too massive of a school load to distract me or take up too much time. 
 
Coming back to this and getting back into Ferra's mindset reminded me of how much I would love to see a good solid Star Wars roleplay, which seem to be in short supply often.

How does Ferra's mindset make you think of Star Wars?

She's kind of Sith-ish. I modelled her mindset after a couple different Jedi/Sith that battled between the Light and the Dark side because both have their offers and both can seem tempting. She could have shot the three survivors, claimed it was an ambush and had them on their way, but she could also try to help protect the crew that she is with, both are tempting, and much of her actions are often battles between what's good for her and what's good for others, though she does still have some passionate ideals that she stands for.


Such as when she snapped that one pirates neck in front of Rena. She could have tried to save him, or apologise, and made Rena like her more, but she had no care for the man and he meant nothing to her, and the same went for Rena. She killed him instead and Rena's opinion could be damned as far as she was concerned.


There are a number of Dark Jedi who struggled with the same issues and it's useful using them as back boards while also ensuring I avoid certain cliches.

The Dark Side is strong within this one.
 
Talking about dark pirating stuff... I'm listening to this song right now. Let's see what kinds of fun things this bodes for The Red Ribbon Pirates.

She was considering killing two unarmed, initially unconsious civilians? The Marine lady who left them because of slavery is okay with murdering defenseless, possibly innocent folk and lying about it to the crew?


Not judging. Just curious.

Until seeing what was in the water, she had no way of knowing if the destroyed ship was an act of nature, or of man. If it was the latter they may well well have been entering and ambush, with the 'unconscious' peoples not really being out, but just waiting.


That being said, she didn't see anything to insinuate that it was an ambush, so her plan changed and she didn't kill them.


When people tend to plan, they make a plan A, and if it doesn't work, they shift to plan B. In her time as a Marine and as a tactician, she's come to conclusion that her plan A is the best plan, so if anything begins to go awry or upsets it, it is time to swap to plan A-1. Should things only shift slightly from there, plan A-1-a. If heavily, plan A-2. But until things start into motion, her plans remain vague and nothing is set in stone.


This is somewhat noticeable in the scene where their ship sinks. Her ultimate goal is to see them escape. Plan A. This goal never really changed, but her methods for it did.


At the end of the day, Ferra lives regardless of how she feels about it. Though as stated, there are morals she upholds, her mind doesn't work on the same wavelength as Stacy's or Garret's or Rena's or Laura's. Between her time as a slave and her time as a fugitive, she's borderline feral in the animal sense and it can be argued that it's only the good men that rescued her and the training she received as a Marine that keeps her grounded and in a more notably human state of mind.

I'll feel bad for who ever finds themselves on the wrong side of Ferra and Jasper if they're both together. They'd probably fight over who gets to kill the bastard and wind up giving him a heart attack XD


The reason Stacy doesn't get along with Ferra is because Stacy seems to put things Ferra despise like 'hope' and 'faith' into her logic, so anything she tends to come up with Ferra instinctively disagrees with because hope and faith often go to war with instinct in crisis situations.
 
Seems like the Red ribbons are the only jerk-free crew. Shattercrests have Ferra and Redwaves have Syrin (though I believe Elijah could be a jerk as well).

Ah. Well that'd be a definitive difference between Ferra and Jasper. He feels and is capable of planning with faith in mind. Not that he doesn't have back up plans in mind. Also, while he's not adverse to killing it's unlikely he'did argue for the right to be the killer. Except in very special circumstances. Very special, particular circumstances.
