Read if you dare. Pretty typical of the author.

A questioned for the fairly ignorant: What the hell are we doing getting shot at? Are we waiting for reinforcements or are we running away?

I think we're letting Steve drive the ships in a way that leads to the defeat and ideally capture of the remainder of the enemy fleet.

Either I missed something or is TCM talking about May's death?!
This isn't a Chick Tract. People survive when their characters die.
Does anyone else find that sentence impossible to understand or is it just me?

Talking about this type of stuff.

How about playing against type?
Or you could replace your late silly character with a serious one. Or a parody of gritty, serious characters. Either one works well with the thug.
I have a feeling that TCM is perfectly capable of playing a realistic or serious character, but I bet she would enjoy it far less than one of his typical characters.

I have a type? ?_? I've done serious stuff before, all depending on the game of course, whether it be fiery leftist feminist legislator, foreign zealot converted and reborn, or a catgirl with an awful past. I've enjoyed playing as them all and more, but I can definitely understand how it's perceived for me to make the zany folks.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

Better yet, create a well-balanced normal person that is completely horrified by all the shit on board. Bonus points if they are a foil for another character.

I was going to get around to reveal stuff about May/Elizas, but then this happened. Since (s)he obviously can't develop from here, might as well reveal the most interesting points. Perhaps I'll put out a more descriptive explanatory narrative later for anyone interested.

Y'know I'd like it if you details your answers more :v
Like...why are you bringing up the Chick Tract? What is that anyway?

Does anyone else find that sentence impossible to understand or is it just me?
Me too.

Also hah, I wondered why Elizas was...had a crazy record :v Didn't seem normal how TCM played 'im. Awesome work there :)

Jack Chick is an infamous fundie who made a bunch of comics decrying everything from D&D to the Catholic Church as satanic and whatnot. He's said that it is supposed to be serious, which kinda takes the fun out of reading them. I linked the relevant Chick Tract earlier; it includes an obvious analogue for D&D, which includes among other things: a player committing suicide after her character died, without a saving throw; a cabal based around D&D, the goddess Diana, and witchcraft; and characters being taught real magic.

Does anyone else find that sentence impossible to understand or is it just me?
Me too.
Well, when...*checks link* Marcie's character died, she committed suicide. This isn't like that, so TCM would still be able to post.

Given my limited experience in interacting with TCM's characters, it seemed normal enough to me.

She ded. Welp.

Time for next character, I was thinking either a street thug who has to adjust from fighting for money-scraps in the hood to being on the forefront of a revolution, or a cute catgirl. What do y'all think?







Finding Nemo was a leading inspiration for Thrak.  Lars... I really can't remember his motivation for creation.

Why not both?

Okay... this idea I *really* like, a catgirl street thug  who'll cut you for staring at her ears? That would be an interesting twist on the character stereotype :D

Yeah, you could make parallels between his life and the life of a stray cat.
Or like that cat from that Disney cartoon whose name I forget.

@GWG: If you read it as a parody, that's actually kinda funny.
I just didn't understand why you said that since it seemed irrelevant but now I realized you were making a joke.

I personally love to see a goth/emo themed character in this sometime. Snarky, sarcastic and at home in depression. Maybe with space magic??

I was making an allusion to that earlier, but like I said, Jack Chick has clearly stated that they aren't. So any laughing I have at how absurd they are is dampened by "Wait a second, there are people who actually believe this crap..."
And then I'm sad.

Ah yes, jokedar is an important part of interacting with others in society.

Space necromancy, maybe? Or space diabolism?
