Cross Effects 3.0 - The Third Time's the Charm? General Discussion

[Knick]

Literally NPC so really don't think about it.

Meh, dropping Velvet for 99 % because guys don't bother with waiting for a reply when I'm busy.

[Monday, February 09, 2015 10:35 PM] Umbra: Sarse is potatoes

[Elf]

Forest: Bloody hell, why does everyone thing I'm some sodding monster or something?  And apparently I'm grooming Saber to be my heir?  That's a load of bollocks right there.  If I had a heir, they'd need to be more of a smart ass.  Saber's too bloody proper.

Looks like Archer may have to watch his back. And maybe start wearing a scarf.

Turns out I am sick, will not be posting today.

[Kat]

Posted my third PC's sheet.

[Ivan The Mouse]

Still waiting for Nachos.

>Gintoki not approved yet

;_;

C'mon, that's literally my shortest sheet.

Ivan, if you're bored, you can always just toss Neo out into the streets and look around for ongoing situations to take part in. There won't bee much interaction with a drunk guy in a car from passersby.

I don't really want to take Neo out in the field right now, else he would hog the limelight.

[Panda]

Trust us. He won't. We've got at least two events going on for this day in the RP, both of them major events. If Neo somehow manages to hog the limelight, then there is something very, very wrong happening. I mean, seriously, have you been looking at the RP lately?

We've got Suiren fighting Vanguard and Rider. We've got Faust trying to track down Shirou and Rin, which will get interesting soon. Hell, I'm going to be having Adjutor apply for a consultancy with the police, which will involve him having to last for a minute against Saber if he wants to join the sewer expedition. There will be character development, fights, and generally interesting things going on all over the RP. Neo may be able to do something interesting, but there is pretty much no way he can hog the limelight. At all. Operating under the assumption that he can even get any of it.

[Kat]

I may have Gintoki join something other than sewer expedition, or just have him awake with hangover in an alley. Once he gets approved.

His priority is to find a landlord or landlady anyway, so he does not end up as MADAO living on streets.

I'm not talking about the limelight of the RP in general here.

I'm talking about the limelight between my three characters, I might never get to appropriately depict the other two characters aside from Neo himself. I mean, I don't wanna just play the same single character in the RP repeatedly when I have two more. I don't want to be pigeon-holed to him, even if his attitude makes for a livelier storyline.

In other words, let's give him a break and let the other two have their stories told.

[Panda]

Ivan. You can do this with your other chars. Have them go out and about. Have them encounter other people. I just suggested Neo because having him stay in the Order's Manor all the time after the stuff that happened at the bar and the firefight with the police afterwards wouldn't be the best idea. There were a metric fuckton of witnesses, and I'd think the police can at least access housing records. Besides, Neo doesn't seem the type to stay at home.

I mean, you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot, here. The characters could potentially be interesting (I think) but you haven't had them out and about enough to show us...well...anything, really, about them aside from the fact that Neo is an asshole with no sense of self-preservation.

Honestly, it's less that that you don't get to appropriately depict them and more that you don't really try. I mean, seriously. You put Neo in his car, drunk, when you made your post. How many people are going to go out of their way to try and get the attention of someone who's just sitting in his car? You really are shooting yourself in the foot.
