[TLV] im staring at this now that I have two friends in it as like. a barometer
Fleece Navidad
cacopheny Airdra if y'all are still awake, first impressions/thoughts?
Fleece Navidad
I saw there's a plotting/integration kind of post up so that helps me massively with getting a character established but I'm still wondering what kind I should bring at all
cacopheny
it's very active and very friendly. my first log got up to like 300 comments. it's even easier to get CR if you have a character who does the network (mine does not, but I manage anyway)
Fleece Navidad
besides an OC, I know they're off
cacopheny
it's like. Syn-lite sometimes. there's typical jamjar-type events once a month (this month is a language swapping event) but also AU and world-hopping events
Fleece Navidad
good shit
cacopheny
between events there can sometimes be a lack of things to do, but the point of the game is CR-building and character development, so finding things to do is important
cacopheny
if you're looking for character type, I suppose it depends mostly on whether you feel like taking the warden track or the inmate track?
cacopheny
inmate is more directed, you need to put in your app how you think your character would be redeemed, but warden is more stable, they can stay on through multiple inmates/deals
cacopheny
also inmate doesn't always mean EVIL just means they have a goal that needs worked towards. like Bucky's not evil, he just needs to learn how to be a person again
Fleece Navidad
/nodnod
Fleece Navidad
my first thoughts are toku characters then, bc I am nothing if not predictable
cacopheny
yeah, and we already have an Entrapta so can't use her anyway :-P but tokus would be a lot of fun in the setting I think
Fleece Navidad
hahaha
Fleece Navidad
does bucky have good cr with her
cacopheny
he has okay CR with her. nothing like Winter had, because she's from a lot earlier in the canon, and played as a teenager, and also has more development in-game to make her think things don't matter since death doesn't stick and there's been no real consequences for anything
Fleece Navidad
oooh, interesting direction
cacopheny
he still borrows her tools though, and made her an origami squirrel for Christmas. she was his sister in the last AU event
Fleece Navidad
aww, cute
Fleece Navidad
are there any power caps? companions or anything?
cacopheny
if you're an inmate, your powers are mostly if not totally sealed. wardens, no caps at all except for like. teleporting off the barge or opening portals or some shit
cacopheny
inmates can get their powers back if their warden asks for it tho
cacopheny
just gotta convince your warden to do it XD
Fleece Navidad
o good
Fleece Navidad
presumably they can get revoked again too
cacopheny
yup!!
Fleece Navidad
God I'm going through like. a rolodex of KR protags in my head wondering who might suit, ahahahah
cacopheny
hell your dude from Midpoint might even make an okay inmate. learn to accept help from other people and not be an asshole :-P
Fleece Navidad
ahahah
Fleece Navidad
Fuwa's a little bitch, he's great
cacopheny
but wardens aren't always super-good people either. we've got some asshole sociopathic wardens too
cacopheny
wardens are just people desperate enough to take a deal
cacopheny
and an inmate's journey isn't always learning to not be an asshole, too! Rocket's wasn't. the goal was never for him to stop stealing shit or being a jerk, it was to learn how to care for people in a healthy way
Fleece Navidad
It's tempting to take early-canon Kinji and see how he develops under new influences, haha
cacopheny
I mean you definitely still love the guy
Fleece Navidad
he'd be an interesting warden under the "desperate enough to make a deal" conceit
Fleece Navidad
I do
cacopheny
AC is Syn-level, it's 30 comments or 2 posts or a post and 15 comments or somesuch. but since it is SO active it's really not hard to make it
Fleece Navidad
the main protag in fuwa's canon gets forcibly drop-kicked over a despair event horizon, that would be interesting to play too
Fleece Navidad
or just to play in general. baby CEO who just wants to be a comedian
Fleece Navidad
...he would be the most frustrating warden, lmfao, he never stops making puns
sailor bii
oh my god
cacopheny
Bucky's warden just MADE A POST with dumb pun jokes
Fleece Navidad
eyyyyyyy
sailor bii
aruto is very much your kind of asshole
cacopheny
his Christmas present was three books of puns
Fleece Navidad
Aruto is absolutely my kind of terror on the common sense of humour
Fleece Navidad
I could totally do his angsty shit well too if I do say so myself, haha
sailor bii
yes you could
Fleece Navidad
God I'm so tempted to take him from the middle of his crisis, ahaha
Fleece Navidad
get him some Healthy Coping Mechanisms
sailor bii
do it
Fleece Navidad
usernaaames
sailor bii
arutotonaito?
Fleece Navidad
CEOker, CEOmedian, youknowitsaruto, jumptothesky, takeofftowardadream, hiddenintelligence
Fleece Navidad
arutojanaito
cacopheny
CEOmedian is great omg
sailor bii
ceomedian is great yeah
sailor bii
do that one
sailor bii
(mine was a dumb pun on aruto ja naito with aruto tonight, like he's got his own evening show)
Fleece Navidad
bam
Fleece Navidad
I can make a discussion post for him when I get home bc he can swing so badly for either team
Medium Dino
I want to be interested in this, but I can't get past the warden/inmate setup for some reason
Medium Dino
Or maybe I just don't have characters that fit it well?
Fleece Navidad
It's definitely a very specific set-up, but it's probably one of those things that's easier to deal with in-game depending on the characters partnered up
cacopheny
it's definitely not for every character. it's actually the game I'd wanted to start Bucky in, because I thought the structure would be good for his recovery, but at the time there was one already >.> so I wound up in ITN instead
Fleece Navidad
idek if I'll click with it, I just miss being in a game and here I'll likely have some fast CR, haha
cacopheny
you absolutely will. not just me and Airdra, people are really welcoming
Fleece Navidad
probably gonna have to make my own icons, UGH
Airdra
Fleece Navidad
comes back to this because I'm not... sure. if aruto has actually died
Fleece Navidad
or nearly done
Fleece Navidad
otoh fuwa needed heart surgery bc a robot kicked the SHIT out of him and nearly died bc the doctor robot got shut down mid surgery
Fleece Navidad
and the whole surviving surgery thing is like. the legit actual reason fuwa Makes An Effort to stop being a robophobe
cacopheny
I mean you can make up a death if there isn't one in canon
cacopheny
I did
Fleece Navidad
o good
cacopheny
yeah not everybody in game has an actual, you know, canon death XD just pick somewhere they COULD have died and AU it
Fleece Navidad
so many options open up
cacopheny
:3
Fleece Navidad
I need to finish off an app for VR bc I'm playing someone with Star but after that imma work on Aruto and do some review bingeing
Fleece Navidad
gently slides kamen rider 01 to u gail, pls watch my good boys
Fleece Navidad
they have such a good positive feedback loop
cacopheny
I don't have the brainpower for subtitles lately ^^'
Fleece Navidad
that's fair!
cacopheny
if you've got a link or something I can save it for like. when my brain comes back
Fleece Navidad
Fleece Navidad
it also has one of the first/best female rider protags, matt played her briefly in Midpoint too
cacopheny
I remember her
Fleece Navidad
she's v good
Fleece Navidad
but yes maybe next week/this weekend I'll toss aruto on the TDM, WHO KNOWS
Airdra
I thiiiiiiiink you could fake it until you make it but I'm not sure :|c
Airdra
PLURK, the last thing it loaded was "not sure if he actually died" and then suddenly everything else pops up, I hate mobile
