Shit getting fucked up by rolls stimulates activity and character development (or derailment).

But doesn't that also facilitate behavior that contradicts established stuff? You're essentially letting the dice flesh out your character, which is cool but if I join this is probably not going to be something I do.

Not really, character is considered when rolling for dice. The roll is going to have to be pretty darn amazing to derail a character and from what I know, it's only happened to Victoria before her character was properly defined and thus amorphous to an extent. Isaac's insanity being revealed and Selina's confidence are both accepted forms of character development that were prompted by rolls. It doesn't so much as distort a character as much as it randomly determines character development.

Yep. Works I suppose, but could do disadvantages. Example:
A: B, you like pudding?
B: (20) FCUK YEAH MAN I LOVE PUDDING I EATS IT AAAAAL DA TIME

later

A: B, you said you liked pudding, right?
B: (2) MAN WHAT YOU TALKIN BOUT YOU KNOW I HATE DEM DAMN PUDDIN BIIIIITCH


Sorry for confusion in the language typing thing; I'm tired.

No really, unless B has some in-character justification for that sudden change, that would not be used as a possible result. Alternatively a modifier may be added to follow precedents.

Hm.

Well it's a personal preference anyway. Since it's possible early on for a roll to derail a character. Plus it might do things that are inconvenient to the player so it isn't superior to other methods, it's simply something that a few players in this RP decided to use to varying degrees.

Wait, won't Selina and Victoria's children definitely be female? Since both of their bodies only have X chromosomes thus their gametes can only carry X chromosomes as there aren't any Y chromosomes to be duplicated, thus ensuring that their children will all have two X chromosomes thus guaranteeing that they're all female?

A part-succubus gets an eldritch abomination pregnant through futa transformation and you're expecting the offspring to stick to the laws of biology? Frankly, I'll consider us lucky if the offspring don't have tentacles!
Well, everyone but Alex. Tentacle!Babies would be fascinating to study, not to mention the likelihood of being hired for Improvements!

Part succubus and nondescript eldritch being? Okay that makes more sense.

Well she got the eldritch entity's human shell pregnant. The actual eldritch entity wasn't impregnated. So yes I do. Both entities involved in the whole 'knocking up' process were almost entirely human.

((KylexEvery Girl in TA, RotMG, and LaFoTM. Both of them. And Persona 3 and 4.))
I'm sure he'd appreciate the restitution from how hard we've been on him.

"Hmm..
Mountains diminish..
is it time?"
Took you long enough.

((Wouldn't Kyle be sterile?))
Why would he be? Fairies and humans are pretty similar, especially with magic to smooth out the genetic issues.

SAVE AGAINST DISEASE!: [1] AUTOCRITFAIL.
...
*evil grin*
LESBIAN BABIES.[/b]
Babies are a disease?
And wouldn't the impregnation roll be separate from the disease roll?
...And why are two girls getting each other pregnant?

((...How the heck will missions work!?))
Well, to start with, Selina and Victoria won't know they're pregnant for a while.
...Wait, how did Victoria get pregnant? Isn't she some kind of eldritch abomination angel thingy?

((At this point the sanest people are an emotionless robot girl-expy and the angry marine.))
Nope. Angerus doesn't get nearly that high, what with his violence, xenophobia, fanaticism, etc.
And why is Angel not on the list? Or Fluffy?

You, on the other hand, are fine-tuned to be able to fight IMMEDIATELY whenever needed, so your gestation period is magically accelerated to a couple days.))
This should be hilarious.
For convenience, let's assign the gestation a period of 50 hours and say a human gestation is 275 days. Thus, five and a half days or so of gestation will pass each hour. Use this information with care.

((No. Victoria will have one in a week and Selina will have one normally.))
That throws off my calculations. So, let's say it takes 150 hours; thus, each hour would be a bit under two days.

((I'm gonna trust you all to track your stat incrases, okay? That way I can just go 'make a dex' and not have to deal with remembering all the shit <_<))
Alright, can do. Where'd I put Angel's stats?...
Has Angel done any checks yet?

"Me... p-p-p-pregnant..."
When did Selina find out that she was pregnant?

((Yeah, Victoria being weird is fine, but I draw the line at people that are not me breaking the laws of physics and somehow doing it through their clothes. GMVeto.))
Actually, it's the laws of biology that would be violated. Which has been done by an eldritch abomination with no reason to have any reproductive system at all had a child with a part-demon human, when both were female.
You're fine with two beings with two reasons not to be able to have children with each other impregnating each other, but not that they could do the horizontal tango while the reality-screwing one was clothed?

Vornar looks at Victoria, then at Selina.
Fucking knew this would happen. Well, if you need a babysitter, I'll do it.
Ahaha no. I think that Nikki would be a better babysitter.
...Okay, maybe not her, but pretty much anyone else.

((I REALLY hope that the child isn't male, having the Boner Mage as a baby sitter might result in being educated in certain things much earlier than they're supposed to.))
IRL, organisms who reproduce with two females always result in a female. Since the baby would be part-EA-with-female-form, part-(female-)human, and have a dash of succubus, I'd imagine that they're going to have a little girl. Or twin girls or something.

((Ragnarok, how are the book research things coming?))
((To be perfectly honest pretty shittily. Work leaves little energy for writing shit and as much as I'd love to write shit in between calls to use, there's no way to bring it home.))
Have you considered using Google Docs for that stuff?

"W-w-w-why... V-vornar...?" Selina asks, still rather nervous and freaked out.
Because you are part succubus and Victoria is a spirit of death. This baby is going to be AWESOME.
"THIS MOTHERFUCKER, I AGREE WITH HIM!"
Seeing as Victoria would probably be perceived as a daemon--closest thing to her that exists in his homeuniverse--and Selina is part-daemon, I'm surprised at how enthusiastic Angerus is.

"I'd rather not call it a 'monster'... I don't think it would be any more idiosyncratic than Angel at most..."
Wait, why Angel?

"Is there something wrong? You seem really embarrassed..."
To be honest, I'd be more worried if she wasn't embarrassed.

Also I kinda want to join RotMG with Angerus, just to get down and start fucking with some heads.
As long as he limits his xeno-slaying to Layar, why not?

PinkxSelina's Child.
Wait until the baby's born and big enough to understand what "shipping" means! Geez!
Which leads into a question I've been having: Will Victoria's and Selina's baby develop faster? Ie, will she age a year every week-and-change for a few months or will she age a year every year?

Seriously, you say nobody ships him yet to the guy who gets called the god of shipping? :P
Nobody's shipped Angel yet!
You have no escape.

The only person who hasn't threatened to kill anyone or shown multiple personalities is less sane than the Patron Saint of Penile Detonations.
What about Angel?
And why is "The Patron Saint of Penile Detonations" so funny to read?

But doesn't that also facilitate behavior that contradicts established stuff? You're essentially letting the dice flesh out your character, which is cool but if I join this is probably not going to be something I do.
More like "rolling to see if the character acts in the one-dimensional way or if s/he breaks out of his/her mold:.
Example: Selina wants to kiss Victoria. However, Selina is shy. If she rolls at least a 12 on her not-shyness roll, she kisses Victoria. If she rolls less than a 6-7, she blushes and moves away. Throw in an overshot for 20 and you've got the general idea.
