Re: OOC Thread
I thought about those very things myself, friend. However, the only one that really hits the spot, is the religious one. However, based on the people I'm dealin' with, I can easily see her getting ganged up on by the other's, due to her nature. You know, the holier-than-thou type that'll get on everyone's dark nerves. I don't have anyone to really identify with, either as an enemy or ally, with Arwia, it feels like. And I don't mean the character, I mean me, by heart. Most player's best interests are in the usual fare of sexless, serious RP. And she really doesn't have enough, 'for herself' characteristic for me to really describe her as a rapist. Raping wouldn't really work out for her.
Edit: Darnit, I hit reply hours after making the post, without thinking there'd be another.
You make a point, slime, if I tough it out in my head, I can really accomplish what I want. However, as you said, the irrelevance is another factor that worries me. I'm worried that, as you go into the tale of her and the mystics of the tower, she'll branch off from everyone else, and it'll be like a private instance of just me and you playing. And as I said, it's not the result of the conflicts that worry me, it's the flavor of the conflicts themselves. My own story of MGI has plenty of conflict, but there's always the incentive of, if one were to lose the conflict, should both player and GM agree, then something sexual related is likely to occur, as a Mamono is distinctly inclined to have sex, both for the pleasure, and for breeding. Some even for nutrition. So, it's the nature of each and every foe in MGI, that make me like them, and enjoy using them against players. If they were just regular orcs, goblins, and other monsters with bow and sword, aiming to stop the adventurers from slaying the dragon, I wouldn't be nearly as interested.
And with the first post I read of Arwia's intro, there was a lot of that feel of dark, similar to some fantasy novels I've read, a very small bit of sex here, maybe in a fraction of the book, while the rest of it is mindgames and murder. I'm fine if I find a character I agree with, and find the story interesting, but if I'm directly apart of it, especially in a place normally investigated for lewd reasons, I'd rather something closer to the basic instinct, as 90% of the time, the styles of those who play in such a way among this board, are very, very boring to me. It's just not about winning to me. Well, unless you count having fun as winning. And that doesn't necessarily mean beating everyone up. I run characters like
Penelope for a reason.
