Role-plays do not function when the players are a house divided. They thrive on interaction. However, I recognize your concerns, we have been progressing the plot way too fast for any decent interaction to even take place. I expressed this concern when analysing the fighter-jet paced shipping between Cael and Vana (you should have seen Neph's earlier post) and, fortunately, this next part will hopefully be more laid back rather than stampeding ahead.

However you've got to understand that having an anti-social character played in an unbuckling manner is extremely difficult to follow a storyline. Sure, she'd probably leave if she wished, but that in itself is the huge issue: letting her go off by herself would lead to making your posts irrelevant until she decides to join again (which, let's face facts, she wouldn't) and could heavily limit or cut off your purpose to post, since having Toilet go from feeding animals to having a cup of tea has little merit to the RP.

Furthermore, large grade motion of characters is subject to the control of the host. While I believe leaving the ties ambiguous, such as rather than explicitly stating they all rallied up use assumptions in its place, is a better way to do this, and I do this wherever possible to allow players to make their plays respectively, I have seen numbers of Role-plays end because everyone is so damn divided.

tl;dr version: You'll have more chances to interact here on out, we've heard your request. However, do not play a character who wants to go solo when going solo not only strips your character of inter-player mingling, it also renders some of your posts moot. Neph is going to redo his post to make it more assumption orientated, in order to let you effectively choose what's what.

 

Thank you very much for expressing your concerns, it is much appreciated.

Believe it or not shes actually not that antisocial, the issue is that when one looks at the history of the party:

1. Fought one dragon, got gold

2. Got into a bar fight resulting in a large number of civillian casualties mostly due to the PARTIES actions, this was also more or less done because a character did not want to pay a additional 15 dollars or so for a new plate of pancakes.

 

Currently the party looks more like a group of terrorists then anything else. Which makes it rather hard to justify staying, even within the own party we already had someone threaten another member with death. It's less that Toliet is a lone wolf (shes just foulmouthed). Its that currently the party seems to be mostly CE and shes CG. It's sortof hard justifying her tolerance of a group.  I will have her stay around for a few missions but if our characters keep causing mass shootings and really don't do much to help people I really can't justify her NOT leaving, either joining another group and being a npc, or actually attacking the rest of the party out of moral obligation.

 

Now I know I should have made my character fit the group more but it really seemed like this was a good guy vs bad guy rp not CE vs LE vs Lovecraftian Abominations. If that was so I'd have played a much more amoral character.

Who're we waiting on?

[Nexev]

Creed and Vana Lockheart.

[a bad post]

Creed and Vana Lockheart.

Sorry I've been a little busy, but I can get in a post tomorrow.

 

EDIT: Posted. So, I kind of b*******ed it... don't judge me.

[Kyng's Old Account]

Expect a post on Monday.

[Astolfo]

Bump :c

[encapturer]

Since not many are supposed to know about the Theristes, I'm going to have Daena's sect have an unfortunate run-in with one of them in the past; though Daena herself didn't get to see it.

[Astolfo]

Okay. Notified you of a couple of things via the General RP PM.

[encapturer]

Whoops!

 

Looks like I got myself mixed up there.

 

Anyway the post still is mostly the same, even if the darts are ineffectual.

[Kyng's Old Account]

Going to give this a bump.

[Astolfo]

BREAKING THE 1% DIVERGENCE METER!

(bump)

Who needs to post?

[Nexev]

Since Vana is unconcisous I think she gets a pass. So I suppose I go again and also everyone in Sirius's group besides Creed.

[encapturer]

Once everyone is out of the way. Daena fires her bazooka-like weapon, launching that piece of machinery at the Therist.  Didn't really want to post until Sirius is out of the way.

 

If anyone else wants to help stabilize Daena, feel free to help; right now the recoil is such that it will send her upwards and backwards, since she's got the thing at full power.

[Astolfo]

This is El Psy Congroo.
There's been an Organization conspiracy to prevent the RP from succeeding.
Require back-up assistance from its other members now.

[Kyng's Old Account]

Right...

First of all, encaputurer is getting a rep from me (and pressumably Neph) since he's more or less the only one who has posted since the Hosts have moved the plot forward.

Secondly, I am sending PMs to everyone who's yet to post. Failure to respond to this PM at the least will meet RP Booting. No exceptions.

This is because what so far is being displayed is Classical Bermuda Triangle Syndrome. if you are no longer interested in the RP, please say so on the thread. This will allow those who actually want this thing to succeed to plan and fix issues, and not doing this is just plain rude.

[Astolfo]

Tutturu.~! (bump) Expect a post sometime later today or tomorrow-ish. C:

[Kyng's Old Account]

It gives me sorrow to say that, what with exams and the like, my interest in this is dwindling. As such, I am (for the time being) having to pull Sirius out of the IC. For contextual significance, the bite wounds have resulted into him being sent into a comatosed state.

Note: My OoC Co-hosting duties will resume nonetheless. If anyone has any difficulties with this RP, please continue to express this, any many more things, in this OoC.

nuuu

Dun worry, I'll keep giving you your regular need for hugs *hugs*

 

Also, if you need a hand with posts, feel free to call on me as always

[Nexev]

So who's gonna be squad leader now? Cael? Doc and Creed are in to much competition for either of them to act as squad boss. Though Daena may also work.

 

Also worth asking if there is going to be a replacement for Sirius, as in a npc I dont think we will be adding new players so late in the game.

[ListenToLife]

Well we do have Sirius' 'friend' that we were introduced to before; Luciano.

 

From an OOC PoV, it seems like Cael would become the leader; Host's character, and from what I can tell, main protagonist. But from an IC PoV, I would choose Daena. Mostly due to process of elimination. 

 

~Cael: Too young. Not even of age; at 17 he shouldn't really be leading a group like this.

~Nicholas: While he would initially be a good choice, being the oldest, best educated and pretty much most intelligent, he lacks as much field talent/experience as Daena, and has too much animosity with Creed.

~Creed: Unstable personality, rather reckless, not very professional. Too much animosity with Nicholas.

~Vana: Too young, unsettled mind, too child-like. It's amazing that she's on the team, though her powers are useful.

~Toilet: Another close choice, with a reasonable age, and is strict and powerful enough to keep the team in line, in theory. Much too unstable personality, animosity with everyone, and much too reckless.

[Astolfo]

It'll probably be Daena.
But I'm going to discuss it with Kyngy.

[Kyng's Old Account]

I'd give my blessings fifty-times over to Daena. I love her character.

[ListenToLife]

Daena it is then. Most reasonable character IC, and we all seem to like her OOC.

 

Now she just needs to become a bigger presence IC. Because at the moment, she doesn't seem to have as much to say as the other characters.
