I need:
1. A username for Tangram
2. A username for Pierce
3. A gen rp meme

Quinn Angstrom

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:30 PM

pierce needs a cool title

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:30 PM

what he's known as across the land

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:30 PM

possibly also what his teacher was called

Echo

@EchoDoctor

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:32 PM

Knight of the Black Moon.

Echo

@EchoDoctor

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:32 PM

(What's the black moon? Heck if I know. But it sounds awesome.)

Echo

@EchoDoctor

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:38 PM

Or do you think it should be shorter?

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:40 PM

it might work

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:40 PM

Pierce of the Black Moon

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:40 PM

Black Moon Piere

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 6:40 PM

Blackmoon?

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:00 PM

Pierce spent time specifically thinking this out

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:01 PM

Black Moon Pierce I think works

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:52 PM

Pierce backstory logistics thought

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:52 PM

Teacher is rad, teacher dies, Pierce inherits the title of Black Moon and also the armor/sword

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:52 PM

this implies one of several things

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:53 PM

1. Teacher was unusually short

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:53 PM

2. Teacher was a woman

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:53 PM

3. Teacher was also trans

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:53 PM

4. Pierce had the armor modified to fit him

Echo

@EchoDoctor

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:54 PM

Consider: teacher was a trans woman.

Dirk Warhard

@hotandcoldaf

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:54 PM

5. Magic armor sizes itself to wearer?

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:54 PM

teacher was a trans woman doesn't solve the problem of how it fits Pierce, it does the opposite of that

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:54 PM

the armor being magic is another option

Dirk Warhard

@hotandcoldaf

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:55 PM

Teacher being taller than Pierce and the armor reshaping itself to fit him adds another grand layer to the "I expected/remembered you to be taller" thing

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:55 PM

Is the armor magic?

Magical☆Gurll

@nidorina

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:56 PM

sisterhood of the traveling pants armor

Magical☆Gurll

@nidorina

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:57 PM

anyway maybe a "seven" pun for tangram, username-wise

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:57 PM

not sure if the armor is magic or not but it could be

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:57 PM

I'm warming up to it just changing size

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:57 PM

it accepts him as its new wearer

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:58 PM

The sword is magic

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:58 PM

"sword"

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:58 PM

So maybe they're a pair

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:58 PM

yeah

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:59 PM

they can both change shape

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:59 PM

although Pierce isn't really able to control it

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 7:59 PM

teacher could

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:00 PM

So then the armor accepts him but the sword does not

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:00 PM

Or...something

Echo

@EchoDoctor

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:00 PM

Hmm... maybe lunallergic for Tangram?

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:01 PM

lunallergic is good

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:01 PM

and it's not about the sword accepting him or not he just

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:01 PM

sucks at magic

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:01 PM

so it kind of just does whatever and he rolls with it

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:11 PM

right

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:38 PM

Pierce's transition strategy is "if you kill enough dragons people will call you whatever you want them to"

Echo

@EchoDoctor

Mon, Mar 30, 2020 8:39 PM

Valid.

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 1:54 AM

a good strategy tbh

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 1:55 AM

tbh i like the "teacher was also trans" option

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 1:56 AM

it adds an element of "i, too, can be that cool despite how i was born" to pierce's admiration of his teacher imo

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:15 AM

on one hand, there's that

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:16 AM

but on the other hand, there's the appeal of a cis dude going "I accept you as my Student Slash Son and you will inherit all my rad manly shit" about a trans dude

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:23 AM

but I think I like your version slightly more

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:23 AM

trans guy goes out into world and finds even cooler trans guy

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:41 AM

hmm yeah that's also pretty good

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:44 AM

but "trans guy goes out into the world and finds even cooler trans guy" has some real good wish fulfillment energy

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:44 AM

being accepted by cis people is cool but finding trans role models is amazing

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:44 AM

on the other hand this does mean that the backstory kills off a trans character but like

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:45 AM

in a Kamina way, not a Tragic LGBT way

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:55 AM

in a kamina way is rad

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:55 AM

trans characters never get to die in a kamina way

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:58 AM

I had the idea of the slightly stupid rival

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:58 AM

It's super nebulous

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:59 AM

but that could easily by the cis who supports trans without question

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 3:01 AM

They don't care about Pierce's genitals, only that they WILL defeat him in battle and prove they were the stronger student!

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 3:11 AM

ooh, students of the same master?

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 3:15 AM

the first time pierce takes off his helmet in front of him the rival stares in stunned silence for a moment

and then angrily goes, "are you mocking me?! taking your armor off in front of me like you think i'm not a threat?!??"

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 3:16 AM

I guess student of the same master would naturally follow from what I said and it feels pretty strong

RobotApocalypse

@ninjarobotclone

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 3:16 AM

totally doesn't care what pierce looks like, only that he's being insulted

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Mar 31, 2020 2:06 PM

if we go for that angle, there's a built-in rivalry hook in that the first Black Moon only chose one successor
