I don't ENTIRELY mind what's going on in the FG right now, but-

If this sort of reaction is going to happen with other misc. magical creatures I am probably just going to stop playing them.

Like its really hard to introduce a character and have them be around people when someone immediately casts a target on them like this.

Obviously this is all IC but still, it doesn't make it any less hard to play off of.

I will say that I agree with Hil.

As a general rule, it's bad to do anything big and mean to new characters when they first show up.

It makes it difficult to establish someone when they're already being thrust into stuff.

Granted, I don't even bring anyone new in anymore, but I know exactly where he's coming from.

That very nearly happened to Archer when I first brought him in over a year ago.

I'm lucky I didn't have him ask Cloud to become his Master with a contract.

Yeah, like- here's the thing.

If someone shows up with devil horns and tons of tentacles, or their appearance reminds some character of a very bad thing, of course they're going to be on edge.

But I feel like there has to be some attempt at actual human communication beyond "I'MMA KILL YOU" over and over, because that's Arena RP stuff and this isn't the Arena RP.

Errrrr...

No, sadly that is not Arena RP stuff.

Or the Arena might still be good. :c

he seems like a realistic kid his age should. He's smart enough to know that throwing cloud in the brig is wrong but also that cloud being a dick to Aura and Saber was also wrong while still considering cloud as a friend.

he's got just enough fight in him to make him interesting to read yet at the same time he's willing to back down and not sound like he's talking in circles which seems to happen most other times with characters that are opinionated.

That's not the point.

The point is that attacking someone's character on sight for who they are, IC reason or no, can get irksome.

Well let's not discuss another thread.

That is Somewhat Bad Juju.

But yeah, it really is hard to work with it when your new character is this close to being assaulted before they can even talk.

unlike with FG silver RP silver seems to be willing to open up a bit more, at least with others his age.

That was actually kind of in jest, I expect that the Arena has better dialogue than that.

It was meant as in insult either, I just expect that the threshold for what causes fights is much lower than the room's by virtue of what the point of that thread is: fighting.

Its not really a wide net, its just Fae to Fen. Specifically Fen hating the fuck out of anything that calls itself a Fae, because of reasons.

Fen is kind of being a complete bitch here, but that's like because of her character IC.

I don't mean to sound smug, but I think Veritas appearing is made all the more interesting by it. Instead of just being another among all the weird magical races that appear everyday Veritas is now causing something to happen that's gotten lots of people involved.

I had a lot planned for Fen and Veritas, but if you're honestly not having fun with it then I can just not do it.

heh, you know box it's almost like reverse cases for the two of us.

RP silver actually seems more mellow than FG silver ever was.

meanwhile RP ges is becoming much more hostile than FG ges ever came close to on his worst days.

I don't think Hil is saying it's not fun.

He's saying that it puts him in a super awkward spot.

gg

but yeah he's mellow at his "best" but there's also a sense that he can turn volatile if angered, right? cause that's what i'm going for
