[Fri Jun 18 18:20:52 2021] Guilt-Trip >> It was a home game so the rules were lose [Fri Jun 18 18:22:26 2021] Guilt-Trip >> Smackdown gave Void 12 free karma to buy Strive for perfection and made him a legend at Hippies table. ||(If you wanna smackdown a lot, don't buy more than two edge)|| [Fri Jun 18 18:23:47 2021] Flatline >> I do smack down a lot and I like hovering at 3 edge [Fri Jun 18 18:24:31 2021] Charon >> But then how can you become the Human Meme? [Fri Jun 18 18:24:39 2021] Flatline >> But I don't like the idea of "I need to jump onto this building" [Fri Jun 18 18:24:50 2021] Charon >> I want 8 edge [Fri Jun 18 18:24:55 2021] Flatline >> "Better smack down to jump 200 meters" [Fri Jun 18 18:25:33 2021] Guilt-Trip >> *Laughs in light body* [Fri Jun 18 18:26:00 2021] Flatline >> Honestly while I like having proper character advancement and strengthening, I don't like having super powerful characters [Fri Jun 18 18:26:43 2021] Flatline >> Like 8 edge edgelords are a good meme at chargen but if flatline had 8 edge he would be too strong for my taste [Fri Jun 18 18:27:02 2021] Flatline >> And he's not even that strong mechanically otherwise [Fri Jun 18 18:27:18 2021] Guilt-Trip >> Guilt is so specilised in climbing shit that Clara even said I don't have to roll [Fri Jun 18 18:28:02 2021] Charon >> Awww.

Thanks CCD lol [Fri Jun 18 18:29:33 2021] Guilt-Trip >> In a home game I was in, a guy had a pool of edge. Once he would run out of it, the character would die, full stop. He was pretty neat [Fri Jun 18 18:30:58 2021] Flatline >> Interesting planning and storytelling, for me, comes from working within outside constraints [Fri Jun 18 18:31:25 2021] Flatline >> So I want to be strong enough to be impactful [Fri Jun 18 18:31:40 2021] Flatline >> But not so strong that I don't have to consider things [Fri Jun 18 18:33:08 2021] Flatline >> Yeah! [Fri Jun 18 18:33:21 2021] Charon >> This [Fri Jun 18 18:33:25 2021] Charon >> And this [Fri Jun 18 18:33:33 2021] Flatline >> Cause Merc figured out that hermeticism was not for her [Fri Jun 18 18:34:07 2021] Flatline >> It makes a lot of sense thematically while being a big step back wards in terms of mechanical strength [Fri Jun 18 18:34:20 2021] Flatline >> It's why flatline will always stay above 1 essence [Fri Jun 18 18:34:30 2021] Flatline >> And uses pistols [Fri Jun 18 18:34:58 2021] Flatline >> It is why I will never touch narco but will still do drugs [Fri Jun 18 18:37:00 2021] Flatline >> 1. Flat has used pistols for years and thus is just much more comfortable with them than a rifle 2. Flat does not like the changes that have happened to him with burning through like 4 essence throughout his career and so he has a hard limit on ware 3. Flat has been addicted to multiple drugs so he doesn't want to be dependent on them BUT he also went through a period where he didn't oblige any vices [Fri Jun 18 18:37:07 2021] Flatline >> During that period he hated life [Fri Jun 18 18:37:39 2021] Flatline >> Oh no pain editors either [Fri Jun 18 18:37:47 2021] Fiddler >> Sounds like Flatline needs a hug [Fri Jun 18 18:37:51 2021] Flatline >> Cause fuck those sound like a terrible way to live [Fri Jun 18 18:37:54 2021] Flatline >> Boy does he [Fri Jun 18 18:38:21 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Hexi made a big change after she got caught, went from supposed "big showy magic" to "must hide everything and everyone" [Fri Jun 18 18:39:11 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Hexi was surposed to be a showy mage, now she is not [Fri Jun 18 18:39:54 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Akane *hopefully* will get some progression that will lead her to not being a moralless murder [Fri Jun 18 18:40:56 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> I was about to say! [Fri Jun 18 18:41:12 2021] Guilt-Trip >> And here I am planning the exact opposite for Guilt XD [Fri Jun 18 18:41:53 2021] Charon >> Can I have both? [Fri Jun 18 18:42:11 2021] Charon >> I need Charon to loosen up a little on the morality front, but also clean up some of his mental messes. [Fri Jun 18 18:42:28 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Listen she just had a job where she ||got a girl a cyber arm after it was ribbed off by an lfr orc and it has made her see that *maybe* she would prefer not to hurt children || [Fri Jun 18 18:43:41 2021] Guilt-Trip >> I think the only thing holding GT back is, his guilt, ironically enough. Once he gets over his gang dying he might go full current Akane [Fri Jun 18 18:43:49 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> it's still something she is deciding on, she hasent made the decision yet [Fri Jun 18 18:43:52 2021] Guilt-Trip >> If the alcoholism thread continues [Fri Jun 18 18:44:14 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Listen i would like Akane to have morals [Fri Jun 18 18:44:27 2021] Nine >> And why that happened to the girl is even worse 😅 [Fri Jun 18 18:44:43 2021] Guilt-Trip >> And I would like Guilt to go full Walter White XD [Fri Jun 18 18:44:43 2021] Flatline >> See I had flat be an unrepentant bastard to start out with and then trayzn gave him a job that was bad enough to make him question his whole life [Fri Jun 18 18:44:53 2021] Charon >> I find moral-less characters a bit flat. [Fri Jun 18 18:45:05 2021] Charon >> flat with a little f, not a big F [Fri Jun 18 18:45:06 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Not gonna mention that bit Jaye [Fri Jun 18 18:45:21 2021] Nine >> For sure, I didn't either [Fri Jun 18 18:45:27 2021] Guilt-Trip >> Not moraless...Broken.

Unnamed runners with kids? XD [Fri Jun 18 18:47:07 2021] Charon >> You mean Sparrow was lying when they said Charon was well adjusted? Imagine my shock. [Fri Jun 18 18:47:09 2021] Mad Dog >> wotj > Akane *might* kill you for that and she is pretty okay with most things [Fri Jun 18 18:47:47 2021] Flatline >> Nah all runners legit have some serious issues [Fri Jun 18 18:47:52 2021] Charon >> ... It took me three attempts to write Sparrow instead of Spanner [Fri Jun 18 18:48:07 2021] Charon >> My brain is not working at it's peak right now I think. [Fri Jun 18 18:48:13 2021] Guilt-Trip >> The only reason GT didn't start normal seeming is because I am shy as shit and had to wing it lol [Fri Jun 18 18:48:14 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Hexi started running because she was *bored* look where that got her [Fri Jun 18 18:48:46 2021] Charon >> Charon runs as a coping mechanism [Fri Jun 18 18:48:50 2021] Nine >> That's rough, Laura 😂 Fake news, Nine is a steadfast pillar of well-adjusted mental fortitude. ~~right..?~~ [Fri Jun 18 18:48:52 2021] Charon >> It's a fucking terrible coping mechanism [Fri Jun 18 18:49:11 2021] Guilt-Trip >> Yes, the only reason Guilt-Trip is a shy fucker is because I couldn't bring myself to speak [Fri Jun 18 18:49:29 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Akane runs cause she was told to, she always dose as she is told [Fri Jun 18 18:49:36 2021] Charon >> How does he deal with what is most likely Complex PTSD? Why, by exposing himself to more trauma of course! [Fri Jun 18 18:49:52 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> https://tenor.com/view/test-spray-testing-gif-12514630 [Fri Jun 18 18:50:07 2021] Mad Dog >> with MD its - Best: Utterly loyal friend, will support you and wants you to be your best self - Worst: Amoral arrogant cruel mercenary She's self-aware enough to know both those two sides of herself and is trying to lean harder towards then former when she can but as you all say, she's pretty damn broken and it doesn't always work out that way [Fri Jun 18 18:50:11 2021] Guilt-Trip >> Hey dawg, I heard you like trauma so we put more trauma inside your trauma [Fri Jun 18 18:50:17 2021] Charon >> Says the person who pushed Merc to put a child on my PSR! [Fri Jun 18 18:50:29 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-homer-disappears-bush-hiding-gif-3377649 [Fri Jun 18 18:50:49 2021] Flatline >> I give Flat very occasional points of wholesomeness [Fri Jun 18 18:50:54 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Listen it would have been fun [Fri Jun 18 18:51:06 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> have Charon relize that Night Hunters also have loving families [Fri Jun 18 18:51:06 2021] Nine >> That's a good metric, Survivor. I'm about it [Fri Jun 18 18:51:20 2021] Guilt-Trip >> God I can't wait for Crowley to be approved. You guys will either love him or hate him. He burns people with napalm. [Fri Jun 18 18:51:38 2021] Thermite >> More Cromwell that Crowley, then. [Fri Jun 18 18:52:02 2021] Charon >> The thing is, I need to find a balance between Charon having enough wrong with him to keep him running, but I need to fix him enough to represent that half-dozen people trying to help him get better. [Fri Jun 18 18:52:15 2021] Flatline >> Flat got his first techno contact when he took a morning to find their gang, show them how bad they were at being a gang and that they should all go home [Fri Jun 18 18:53:14 2021] Mad Dog >> Just remember: Having a support network is very important, but no guarantee you will get better! In fact "fixed" is a nigh impossible bar to reach for many [Fri Jun 18 18:53:46 2021] Flatline >> Like he sat down and drank coffee while a bunch of teenagers pointed guns at him and he goes "Guys I found you in like an hour, I don't think you're ready to go fuck up a horizon facility" [Fri Jun 18 18:53:59 2021] Mad Dog >> But "better" is plenty good and over time, can stack on itself [Fri Jun 18 18:54:13 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> For Hexi: Best: Loyal friend who would legit die or let herself into situations that would mean death to save you. But she will legit want you to be happy and the best you can be. Worst: Cold, unfeeling and sees everything/the person as not being worth anything ||and willing to kill || [Fri Jun 18 18:54:13 2021] Flatline >> Honestly a lot of the better arcs don't involve people getting better but changing over time [Fri Jun 18 18:54:25 2021] Charon >> Good point. And please, leave the pings on for me, I like the happy brain chemicals pings provide me [Fri Jun 18 18:54:30 2021] Gearslip >> Oooh Gearslip is gonna get fixed better too [Fri Jun 18 18:54:42 2021] Mad Dog >> PING [Fri Jun 18 18:54:50 2021] Charon >> ❤️ [Fri Jun 18 18:54:50 2021] Guilt-Trip >> I wonder what direction GT could gp [Fri Jun 18 18:55:25 2021] Charon >> I am a little terrified that I'm yet to see that part of Hexi [Fri Jun 18 18:55:52 2021] Flatline >> Flat went from absolute coked up bastard to antisocial operating operational operator man to kind of social to guilt ridden mess [Fri Jun 18 18:56:13 2021] Charon >> So what I'm hearing is that I need to swap my negative qualities for *other* negative qualities. [Fri Jun 18 18:56:20 2021] Flatline >> Sam smiles has gone from...

Everyone should have a bolthole [Fri Jun 18 18:57:34 2021] Mad Dog >> Seattle should just be riddled with boltholes for various people [Fri Jun 18 18:57:47 2021] Charon >> Though this would be more of a tragic ending than a "sidestep in progression" I think. [Fri Jun 18 18:58:12 2021] Flatline >> You can't get bettee [Fri Jun 18 18:58:19 2021] Flatline >> But you can get worse [Fri Jun 18 18:58:19 2021] Mad Dog >> Story don't end til your dead boi [Fri Jun 18 18:58:40 2021] Charon >> Yes, but I think that would kill him very quickly [Fri Jun 18 18:59:22 2021] Mad Dog >> Hell, even then. MD's gang's been in the grave for 12 years, and she's still finding ways to breathe life into their memory and story, a lot of her memes are flavored with bits from those guys' personalities [Fri Jun 18 19:00:02 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> if the scalse is is from 1 to 10 and 10 is the best, Hexi is generally at a 8, was at a 5 when she had her breakdown and at a 4 on the bunraku job [Fri Jun 18 19:00:11 2021] Guilt-Trip >> Void left behind a druggie that's now running unchecked lol, he died as he lived. Disappointing me XD [Fri Jun 18 19:00:21 2021] Charon >> I do this for Charon. Just have random bits and pieces get thrown into the mix [Fri Jun 18 19:01:00 2021] Charon >> I think a character backstory element that I'm really proud of in hindsight is the story behind why he only uses bioware. [Fri Jun 18 19:01:03 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> Better never let her see your face or aura then, spirits are dangerous [Fri Jun 18 19:01:17 2021] Charon >> It's just a perfect combination of multiple elements of his character. [Fri Jun 18 19:01:19 2021] Mad Dog >> I should split my notes document, its starting to take awhile to load because I've loaded it up with so many backstory anecdotes and stuff XD [Fri Jun 18 19:01:32 2021] Charon >> Fuck, I need one of those. [Fri Jun 18 19:01:48 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> I just got one big sheet that i update like once-ish a week [Fri Jun 18 19:01:52 2021] Charon >> I need a few documents to keep track of all of Charons bullshit, and I have none. [Fri Jun 18 19:02:12 2021] Guilt-Trip >> Maybe I should actually expand on GT's backstory huh? 🤔 [Fri Jun 18 19:02:22 2021] Mad Dog >> This is my G-Drive folder for Mad Dog XD [Fri Jun 18 19:03:39 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> I should maybe make an rp tracking [Fri Jun 18 19:03:54 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> or maybe just progression [Fri Jun 18 19:04:49 2021] Guilt-Trip >> I do this weird thing where I keep a playlists of songs that change as the character changes [Fri Jun 18 19:05:14 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ^^ [Fri Jun 18 19:05:19 2021] Mad Dog >> Yessss [Fri Jun 18 19:05:27 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> All of my charectors have songs i play [Fri Jun 18 19:05:36 2021] Mad Dog >> ~~and the character also changes slightly when you find new songs that fit the playlist~~ [Fri Jun 18 19:05:36 2021] Guilt-Trip >> I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WOOO [Fri Jun 18 19:05:38 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> I really get into the mood of them when i listen to them [Fri Jun 18 19:05:54 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> like half my nightcore playlist is for vampire NPC's [Fri Jun 18 19:06:01 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> for my homegame [Fri Jun 18 19:06:14 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> I got like 5 or so for Akane and a bunch for Hexi [Fri Jun 18 19:06:17 2021] Flatline >> Yep [Fri Jun 18 19:06:26 2021] Flatline >> I got several songs I use for flatline [Fri Jun 18 19:06:46 2021] Flatline >> Also little clips of popular media that remind me of his tone [Fri Jun 18 19:07:17 2021] Charon >> I have a spotify playlist for Charon [Fri Jun 18 19:07:23 2021] Guilt-Trip >> I still don't have a playlist for GT tho. Waiting to be inspired [Fri Jun 18 19:07:24 2021] Mad Dog >> Just build a whole-ass moodboard 🤩 [Fri Jun 18 19:07:25 2021] Charon >> It's like 2 hour slong I think [Fri Jun 18 19:07:33 2021] Nine >> Nine at his best is a caring, empathetic person who will go above and beyond to aid a friend in need. He'll go to hell and back to save a teammate, even one he isn't fond of. At his worst, he can be a cold, calculating villain, delving into secrets and tangling lives into knots relentlessly before ending them after they've unraveled. All from the same coffeeshop they're in. No black hood, no scary mask, just a nameless face in the crowd. [Fri Jun 18 19:07:42 2021] Charon >> Sorry [Fri Jun 18 19:07:44 2021] Charon >> 7 hours long [Fri Jun 18 19:07:54 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "Killer Queen" was one of the original songs for Warlock [Fri Jun 18 19:08:16 2021] Charon >> Hmm.
