I still don't really know what I should do for the RP. For one, Plan B™ leaves me with even less options for a character. Secondly I don't know what I could (or should) add to the conversation.

Also, I'm starting to think you just want to use RP as an excuse to play an "awesome" character. I have no idea if I'm correct, because I am not a psychic, but it's my guess. Hearing the words "less options for a character" makes me think you care more about having the perfect character than roleplaying with the universe you're given, which is the point of roleplay.

Besides, it's not like your character even has to do their job, because you'll be lightyears away from home and the commanding staff isn't cruel enough to shove you out of the airlock or leave you to die on a hostile planet.

What I actually meant was: I have two characters that I could use in the non-serious RP, that I might be able to use in the serious RP but I can not use in the Plan B RP. I had some other ideas for characters that I also can not use in Plan B. Making an entirely new character would take some time and I might be too lazy to do that.

Why should I not use existing characters that are already well fleshed out? If I can adapt them to fit into the new universe, they would be a lot more interesting than one I made up on the fly. Is there anything you don't complain about? RE: Avali Nexus Forum Thread 3: A crowd. - SilverOtter - 12-29-2015 (12-29-2015, 12:22 AM)Jim_Clonk Wrote:Oh good, they're just templates.

Its not the warrior clan McLaughlin is it? They still have a castle and proper colors and everything. Not only that, but the remains of the original castle can still be found, it was blown to bits by british cannons. How do I know about that you ask? Lets just say, they're the neighbors of a few of my ancient ancestors. |
