Can't ya just BS up some alternate reason for the scars? Like, how important was it to Cloud's present character, in the grand scheme of things?

The whole thing about the scars was that he got them the first time he snapped really, really hard and cannibalised a couple people and Lancelot had to drag him off. So that's easy enough to rework, I suppose, but I'm not sure about what they should be reworked into.

Also the RP now starring David Attenborough.

I'm gonna say we try to come up with an official retcon cause I have no idea what this other player did but from what I'm reading it sounds like he defiled the character of sir lancelot.

Still I'm not completely against the idea of lancelot having already been involved in the room before, makes it seem like the poor bastard will never get away.

Might wanna get fox's opinion as well if Arturia Saber played a major role in the cloud back story.

She did, but as most of it involved Arturia comparing her boob size to another character of Death's whose name I must have blanked out and then talking about having sex with Shirou and Lancelot, I wound up largely ignoring her even back then.

I'm not very familiar with Lancelot, so maybe I could explain what happened and you could decide what should have happened?

If that's really true, give it the axe, I say.

Yeah a retcon sounds like the best option.

We can just say the current fates are just different because that happens all the time, and mutiple timelines are a thing in the Nasuverse.

As for the retcon itself I guess we can just say Lancelot was a good friend of Cloud's that kept him from going completely apeshit and leave it at that.

Okay.

I didn't know the whole story in the RP before, besides the Shirou thing.

This changes things.

Yeah Vagueness is probably better in this situation and trying to create a detailed retcon will probably be more trouble than it's worth.

still holy crap I'm sorry you guys had to go through someone like that.

Keep in mind I know who none of these people are or the significance of any of this. I'm just regurgitating information.

Basically what did happen was that Zelretch showed up, said that Crimson Moon was trying to destroy everything everywhere, and then gave Cloud a Servant (Lancelot) to help him stop them. Some stuff happened with zombies, I think, and they talked and stuff and Lancelot had awkwardly-written flashbacks. Also some shit happened with Gordon Freeman but I was pretending that didn't happen even back then because Anonymous Friend had not learned you are not supposed to RP when higher than a goddamn kite. Then Vlad the Impaler happened (maybe it was Dracula?) Cloud fought him, but then Sephiroth showed up, who also might have been just Vlad fucking with him, and also Saber Black, and some other guys. Cloud got infected with vampire shit, lost it, ate Sephiroth, Vlad, and a couple mooks, bit Saber Black's arm off, and then got tackled and knocked out by Lancelot, who then carried him back and later offered moral support as Cloud puked up chunks of people. Then there was a drill to the center of the world, and also Sephiroth might have been there again?

At this point I've lost track of what's going on entirely but I'm sure it wouldn't have made much sense either way. Then the day got saved.

no fuck you i typed all this up and forced myself to remember it so you're gonna read it

Wow, that plot was basically just an attempt to cram in fate stuff for the sake of fate.

And don't worry, I'm reading every mind numbing sentence

Basically what Bcom said. All of that (save for Freeman and Sephy) is recognizable Nasu stuff, but the way it sounds like it played out it was just a messy cocktail-blender-thingy.

Eighty bucks says that Chariot just looked up shit on the Type-Moon wiki and tossed in whatever he found cool.

I think he actually was familiar with the source material, considering how almost everything he did in both threads was from Fate (including this atrocity)

he just wasn't good at writing it I guess?

so what do

Ok, I am glad this guy is gone. That's jack the ripper aka assassin of black.

And give me the night to think it over. Right now it'd probably just gonna say up front we should pretend most of this crap never happened cause just reading that gave me a headache.

But maybe lancelot and cloud ended up encountering each other another while fighting vampires (doesn't matter what kind), they worked together for a bit and became friends but this was a lancelot of a different timeline.

Seriously though i would heavily suggest axing everything having to do with the crimson moon, meaning no references to Zel, or the other fate stuff.

her character profile is just as bad

she is perfect innocent babby that becomes serial killer because that's how it works

also she's jack the ripper

[up]works for me

The worst part about her is that they had a much cooler Jack the Ripper character idea before.

Since Jack was never caught, this version of Jack doesn't have a true form, but can consequently take on the form of any Jack the Ripper legend that came afterward.

And, yeah - alt-Lance seems like the best idear. Alt-Arturia, too, if you don't want to axe her completely from Cloud's earlier character arc.

Death has said to me on multiple occasions that his actual working knowledge of the series doesn't extend beyond Carnival Phantasm. Essentially the non-canon comedy show.

So yeah.

It's up to you. You're the one playing her now, though I haven't brought up much of what Arturia did anyway.

Also I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that so I can steal that idea.

[up]oh

wow

between him and shmotor

what is it with the whole "i'm gonna play this series I know nothing about and also project some weird fetishes onto it while i'm at it" thing

I'm slowly but surely having everything I love about that game poisoned for me by the fandom. It's not pleasant.
