  1. http://aurorastation.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1566&hilit=mutiny&start=10 Jamini made a lot of very fun ones (i tried)
  2. I know but dem corporate spirituality~ Such a cool concept in my mind , even if it makes absolutely no sense. Also there's a lot of assumptions going around regarding supremacy and racism. OP technically hasn't stated any values the pope has, past the standard bible adoring. But that's so vague because everyone bends the bible however they desire. The current pope going on wildly different stances then the former, but what holy man is the right between the two? Not that i see how it would improve RP either, as it would boil down to "yea,he exists i guess". I suppose i can get behind earth pope still sticking around because of dem tradition, not like my religious characters can't just claimn the pope is actually the tool of satan. And everyone else considering religion is funny like that Having 2 popes helps out too, as you're not bound to one religious leader if you like playing Christianity
  3. Why would the roman pope be a traditionalist earth supremacist though? wouldn't that just make a bunch of heavily religiously brought up christian characters either do some character rewriting to not be affiliated with the church or become earth supremacists? On the other hand i really really dig the idea of there being more then just 2 popes. With the profit in mind 2457 christianity becomes an almost corporate mindset branch with intrigue,backstabbing, and corporate threatchery. A multitude popes competing for affiliation, the pure hearted and those under a guise mix and mingle gathering and catering to their own demographic, from a pure hearted pope to a near Godfather. Bah, i just like going off on writing tangents But yea i digress, why would he be a supremacist? ALSO i was under the impression earth is condensed into a multitude of megacities, would this make the Vatican underwater/mostly abandoned ? Edit:found old thread with a map, nevermind
  4. If someone travels back in time and kills their former self before they discovered time travel, whatt happens?
  5. Perhaps a diferently labeled corporaten cap then? "Chance's security cap", "Gamble Until You're Lucky","inscribed security cap"...or alike
  6. >nine to five shift You mean to tell me that it's not hardcore RP to add something like morale directors on a station where every third employee suffers from PTSD? In the same station where we have priests,librarians/journalists,chefs and freshly grown ingredients from hydroponics, holodeck, a bar, pool, psychologists,occasional wizards, overpriced vending machines...etc None of which seems to detract from RP, nay it adds to it. Eve though it's not exactly uper realistic "tv in the backoom" workplace experience it's almost like people come here toget away from real life or or like fun or some bullshit also maybe make clown/mime gear require captain approval ]

  8. -not subtly insane characters Only ever played one normal character. All my currents have mental issues. Stuff like lack of empathy, severe social anxiety, a voice inside their head, avoidant personality disorder, obsessions with human experimenting, trust issues, personality issues due to cloning, feelings of needing redemptions or pain to cleanse from their sins,various relationship and sexual related issues. Money preoccupations/loving, PTSD, regrets, frustrations born from loneliness,self image problems...etc. usually the characters deal with them in a destructive manner, commonly alcohol, or succumbing to thei r needs -Family I've played young girls,50 year old heavily religious men, weak willed girly dude miners, had many injury RP, self inserts, direct psych convos that lasted almost entire rounds, neon hairs, shitty fokkin' accents, ya taffers, only emote rounds, tragic snowflakes, intentional fuck ups, gay, straight, bisexual nd asexuals. But none of my characters have families. I find people that talk to their parents or brothers/sisters strange. Perfect sitcom families are downright the most disturbing thing ever to me. I've tried to have families IC'ly. It never panned out in the end. Retconned everything before i had a chance to even talk about them. The prospect if having kids alone is horrifying to me, due to some personal issues. Not that families are such a big, or having children being very interesting.so i'll most likely never ever have a family -being a 100% douche I play the friendliest nuke ops I once scammed someone out of 2500 credits by claiming i had bluespace cancer. I gave 2000 back because i OOC felt bad.I KNOW!, I'M THE WORST ROLEPLAYER! 75% evil maximum
  9. Vittorio Giurifiglio A character everyone likes to hate. A more then welcome evil. I know him OOC as "the racist one" and IC'ly my first impressions were mostly that he's rude. I've seen his racism take an almost predatory nature, which was actually very interesting. I haven't had much interaction personally, but he still made an impact on my characters. My IAA, almost like an old bitter cop, considers him like an obvious criminal he never managed to pin down despite having evidence (mostly due to round to round canon shenanigans), and he hates Vittorio. My other character was revised to be, not racist, but he doesn't treat xenos same as humans anymore, with your influence. Also very colorful insults. But the negative aspect of the critique is that Vittorio reeks of being a self insert. And your other character sounds similar, especially with being also a racist and all. We Glitchy As a warden, i remember him looking pretty intimidating. I didn't get much interaction with him until Glitchy visited my old psychologist. This is where Glitchy shined in 1on1 talk. Two people played EXCELLENTLY. Very easy to get lost in both organically. Player is a very entertaining roleplayer. Great on-the-spot drama and amazing responses. A great concept aswell, backstory seems lacking a bit, but this seems like the idea character that you develop the backstory through playing. Sorry i kinda sucked at psych. You made me wanna go buy a cool car to compensate for my smaller RP. Avery Dawkins Despite me working security often and seeing him around Kim and as captain, i still IC have NO idea what kinda person he is. Despite this, most my characters have strong opinions of him. Take that however you want, Doom. As security, his threats somehow always make me think twice, even when i set my mind to do mean stuff. Him being around Kim is adorable, and slightly terrifying once you read the records. I saw him get a job of tailing wizards or antags on more then one occasion, and strangely i don't see much of anyone else get that job ever. So ive come to know him as "tailing person" (at one point tracking Morgana and taking pics, i remember). He's a very competent captain, and also very nice to IAA . Makes James wanna snuggle him. Avery and Kim are adooorable. I wish i knew what hidden shit you whisper to her all the time. I hate to come of sounding a bit negative. I like seeing Avery around, bit hard to approach non-professionally Winston Carton My,my,my...so much to say... Winston is one of those characters that makes me wanna find the player and have him tell me all his secrets. The greatest story arc that i wasn't a part of. James knows about his wife and step brother. James knows about all the strange questions he asks the tajaran bartender. James spends many nights sighing wishfully, wanting to know what's going on in Winston's life. My IAA gained a lot of respect for him, seeing as he did, and does a good job as security, despite personal drama affecting his life. Player's dedication to do IC forum replies only emphasizes my own laziness, good job on those replies. 2 lenght. I wonder what the original idea for the character was and how much he truly developed. As much as he is good in security, i wouldn't mind seeing him as bartender more too. I was soooo suprised to know you have trouble talking to people ingame. I remember discussing the best places to find prostitutes with Winston when he was bartender, and had a lot of fun talking to him. I think you're just not giving yourself enough credit. Also, meat puppets is a concept from Neuromancer by William Gibson, fun fact <3 Lux Niklaus A character i LOVE to hate. Sorry for being such a dick and even making you cryo (not me alone, but still...). You're my favorite HoS, completely unlike Avery, i can't take any threats from Lux seriously. it's so hard to criticize Lux because his faults are what makes the character soooo enjoyable. I don't want him to fix his mistakes (even though he probably did...sadface.jpg). In other roles i've seen him as IAA, might wanna give him a more interesting backstory. Overall adorable/10.Hell, you can fix him as much as possible, but Morg will never love his voyeuristic, swear hating butt! Viva la commander faggot! Miko Is he the bartender? I saw him being really good talker with other people. UHazeri 10/10 funeralnfortunately i was playing my eerily realistic introverted socially retarded IAA, and was stuck eternally /me'ing about drinking coffee.One of the better bartenders, and a cool concept Lockie Green You fucking know what i think of Lockie, you FUCK! Lockie is life, Lockie is love I enjoyed all the crime and snuggles[/hr] Unathi sex talk[/hr] stuff Morg and her did. One of the most characterized characters on station, and my personal favorite. Amazing concept, amazing backstory, great roleplay, very easy to gush about, ugh Lockie is great. I'm not saying she's necessarily the best, but she's my favorite. One day i'll hopefully be Murky to your Glimmerlight.And i sincerely hope no intentional asshole ever crosses paths with that forgiving maniac . Elena Best catpain! I jst realized i lost the .txt to elena is best catpain...i'll get it back once... Enjoyed listening to all the love shenanigans. Favorite Captain, never fails to make me blush( and sweat) when she notices me. Senpai/10. No other captain also inspired as much of confidence as Elena in me. Would not fuck with her...well...you know what i mean... Hard to approach, but steps were taken to remedy that, and i liked the interactions i got so far Kane deWitt Edgy,yes. But edgy in the best way possible. I've personally seen people gush all over how cool he is. Personally i have no problem with his character. Nearly had fun RP with my priest, Hosea, but round end. Otherwise not a lot of interaction to make a better critique. But dem coolness Hazeri 10/10 funeral
  10. Johnny Mnemonic

    return?

    There's more nuance then that here in play, i think. There's a reason Thundy is doing this, she's smart. With my limited knowledge of stuff that happened, feelings were hurt. And that stuff takes time to heal. I'm not sure what Thundy's underlying reasons are, and i'm already goig beyond what my nervousness would allow me to on good days(hell, my brain is screaming that this is a bad idea) Ultimately though, Thundy knows what she's doing, and the person, to my understanding, asked and worked this over with thundy, yea? Her not returning is as much of her fault as it's his then, it was her decision aswell. There is no need to bash and burn this mystery person now. No, if you really want Thundy back, then perhaps you should either allow time to mend the wounds, or if you're bold, try to help in a non destructive manner. Or you could be a dick about it still. Not like she asked you not to be or like she might feel guilt , i'm sure that pressure won't have any impact on weather she'll come back or not
  11. Hazeri Sakhaat (but instead of being old he's acidentally a Jojo character) Head lineart (mot detailed part alongside the hands in the image usually which is why it deserves a zoom, also kinda the focal point). Rest of body (unfinished) Bad news bears My pc died (which is also whys i'm on a involontary "break") so not sure how i'm gonna continue work on this unless i convert my internal hard drive to external and exctract data but I AIN'T NO CYBERNETICALLY INCLINED WIZARD
  12. ((A question about skills: Do the points in the skill system need to be equal to zero or more?))
  13. I THINK I MIGHT BE LATE BUT FUCK IT, TIMEZONES HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
  14. while we're talking about changing corp regs, can someone please elaborate a bit more on "i106-Suspicious Conduct". because it's far worse in my opinion, and a HoS can use it as an excuse to detain people on really insignificant matters. or at least remove the fine/brig time because the people in question don't necessarily even have to commit a legitimate crime.
  15. What about rivals? or people from someone's past who they're conflicted about? someone to bring out a facet of the past they wish to forget about and/or was never resolved. Someone to shake things up in the normal every day life of the character. it's much more RP focused then making automatic friends, but also something i think a lot more people would want
  16. I don't really see why he should be stripped of his whitelist or reprimanded. Even if he did do something wrong, it was his first time and i mean, seriously, he didn't even really do anything that bad even. It's like every time a captain RP's someone files a complaint, first Boka and now this, it really saps people of wanting to play command positions. I think Prospekt in this case probably didn't do this out of malice. I just think you thought so at the time (and probably think the same now). Even so, you came off very butt mad in this whole thing, and like you want to frame Prospekt as this fucking asshole who's just a dick to you 4noraisins. and it wasn't self centered if you got seemingly pissed off then said you can't play. i thought the same, does that also make me self centered? Now, even IF prospekt purposefully took a name that was similar to yours, why? And even if he did, your reaction was kind overblown, you really should have asked prospekt to change it. which you did. and then he agreed to change it. I guess that's settled then? wait no- this is the only legitimate point you can make a complaint basis on, and it's the least elaborated. please elaborate. Also! i totally wanna know how you both came to get such similar names, i still can't shake off the feeling of how convinient it is, is the name a reference? or maybe he subconsciously chose it? Why that nameeee?
  17. my character likes to tell people they did "Dancer", a drug that makes them more alert and agile. it's from Virtual Light, by William Gibson also Betaphenethylamine, substance from "Neuromancer" also some fun ones; "The Fear" in Red Star, Winter Orbit, "Bliss" from Red Dwarf, "Milk +" from clocwork orange, aswell as serum 114 used with the ludovico machine. Honk and double Honk in discworld, dried frog pills too. Redeye from cowboy bebop And Otrazone from red dwarf for IPC's. I want more reference drugs in my SS13. or at least, IPC circut burning drugs
  18. As a pretty regular primarily IAA character, i think the implant can ADD to the RP just as much as it can deduce. And if this goes through we might see more IAA's but i'll request i still retain mine. Playing IAA is unlike playing any other role on the station specifically because of the implant. You aren't supposed to make friends, you are supposed to remain unbiased, no matter how much you detest someone. Having an implant doesn't make you a drone. your can still have feelings, and you can even try to go and make friends, but the implant forces you to act in a certain manner. it makes you second guess every decision and affect your psyche on a very deep level. It's literally impossible to not make connections, start to respect or admire someone, or be unbiased when you remember past grudges and wrongdoings. This doesn't mean you can't have any feelings, it just means that in the end your feelings don't matter one bit. even if you don't want to, even if you might lose a friend, or be physically abused for following Central's orders (as i was in multiple Mutiny rounds when you become the only advocate for burning people), you HAVE to do it. Tell me that can't make interesting RP. All IAA treat their Implants differently, and that's a good thing. you can justify the variations with a lot of ways (such as just different models). IAA that reduce their implant's purpose to "keep NT's interests going" shouldn't be reprimanded IMO(as long as the things they do are in moderation). And IAA that are prevented from even lying should still be available to play, after all, you won't be able to act that way against your own will in any other job.
  19. William Rydell Penny Portsbridge a 21 year old reporter. Wants to make good stories, undercover for Tau Ceti. Has a complusive need to make connections with people. When she was young she was abused by her father. After getting with a man for money at the mere age of 15 she bought a camera and recorded her own father rob a store. She left home, her mother died a year later on her own. up to the player how they wanna react with this, but one thing is sure. She's obsessed with reporting, a psychological coping mechanism to justify what she has done? only notable interaction was with Winston when he was bartender, as i told him where to get the best prostitutes and about meat puppets. also gave him a tip and consider him a connection. 21, female, carries a camera, universal recorder, clipboard and comb in her loadout, knows Tradeband, 20/220 skin color, mechanical eyes,white flaired hair, 1.70 meters tall woman, flavour text- she looks like she's in her early twenties. her hair is perfectly white, obviously mainteined often times, and her dark ember eyes are quite peculiar. the pupils are always the same size. a small print in the corner of her eyes relveals they're not her original eyes. White hair is kept maintained very well. Her body is slender. not very curvy. a bit tomboyish even. Jonathan Murray from my contribution on http://aurorastation.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1747&p=16970&hilit=murray#p16970 basically a weird bald person, dunno why you'd wanna go for this guy, is 50 and bald... People i might wanna see on station someone else who survived the massacre Hosea was a part of Dorothy Sublett's grandchildren/children
  20. Experiment? (A/B/C): B How many interactions did you get?: consult IC report How was your experience with other civilians? Departmental workers? Heads? Sec?: consult IC report How does this compare to your usual playing role?: well, usually i play IAA or brig. sometimes science and mining. it was a lot more RP tailored, which made me regret choosing not to engage people more If you were new to Aurora (as someone new to RP) would you come back? yas someone new to RP? well i couldn't really answer that. i suppose yes, but this is coming from someone who adores roleplaying so...take that as you wish If you were new to Aurora (as someone experienced in RP) would you come back? yes,i came here as a uneducated and playing bald wasn't as bad as i thought it will be. Did you enjoy the round? (y/n) yes Notes: INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM [JONATHAN MURRAY] TO BBM INDUSTRIES after hearing reports of bald discrimination i, Jonathan Murray, have decided to investigate the Aurora station and file this report to Beautiful Bald men industries. As i infiltrated the staff posing as a cargo technician, i came onboard and was immediately greeted by a fellow bald head. This one was scaly, i assumed our organization has not sent him. i stared at him for some time. A fellow nurse soon came and hugged him very suddenly, they whispered to each other for a while. i saw no discrimination here, so i moved on. As i was looking for a spot to change my clothes in in peace, not favoring all these haired freaks staring at my glorious bald 6 packs, i saw a certain someone just up and change clothes in front of a locker. Assuming this is a custom, i slipped into my old man clothes and took my walking stick, leaning on it. I decided to spare my words, saying only "weird" and "nothing, nothing" to a fellow patrolling officer. As my Modus Operandi is usually, i took to speaking broken Tau Ceti. after seeing the Cargo and how it looked, i noticed i was the only one in Cargo. that did not bother me, nay, it made my job easier. I ordered a crate for kitchen and dragged it there, stating simply "crate" when i arrived. my job was quick and without attachments, just like my women. as i came back i saw that the Captain was changing /his/ clothes in his office, he was even older then me. It was a horrifying sight. i later saw him walking with a stick and in old man clothes, just like me, i rushed and managed to defeat him in our fast cane walking duel across the hallway, for that is how we of old show dominance. I am certain he was impressed and terrified as he retired to his office. Another crate, as i dragged metal and glass to R&D my old legs started to hurt. I have decided to order myself a tug, as i saw it listed in the options. Almost no words were spoken between our transaction yet again, but an officer did ask me if i saw an old man walk by.I saw a bald brother, chaplain, and have decided to integrate into bald society. Starting from Cargo i handed a box of donuts to Jade. i found them in disposals next to a large sum of dead rats. i decided to not tell her this. On a later note when i have spoken up about it she told me "Old man, go hit rocks". the expression eludes me. I have gotten a tug, it does wonders on my bones. Talking to Hartam i asked a couple of questions such as "You preach religion?" "How many have you converted so far?" and whether he wanted a tug, feeling the pain of being old and bald myself. He told me people aren't very religious and he WAS discriminated, but only because of religion. As i felt a Bald Bond forming between us, my quest to integrate into the inner bald circle was nearing it's final stage. I asked "You interest me", "Do you take apprentices". And he generously provided me with a book describing his religion. The church of Holy Light. It spoke of compassion, tenacity, and our close, close bound to the universe. I took to reading it in the bar. no one in particular minded me, an IPC had a spin on the tug and the bartender was quite alright. No one initiated conversations with me, but then again i was partly reading and didn't initiate much either. As i heard of the misfortunes of Carton Winston, i tried to grasp this elusive concept of "compassion". drinking syndicate bombs and driving arriving to security, i failed to find him and tried to stop a thief from committing suicide by bribing him money on comms. Judging by my bank account, i pray for his soul. I ordered pizza and a corgi for the bar, seeing as most station personnel was there. I also carried around a Plasma cutter around, later also a knife for the pizza. i was pleasantly surprised no one minded that. felt a little bad for the chef until he called me a skinhead [ACCOUNT ONE OF BALD DISCRIMINATION] an Unknown PDA'd me, demanding I order a ballistics crate. I did as such, assuming it was security. Unknown instructed me to leave it near maintenance door. I included a box of donuts too. I stamped, approved and filed all the paperwork in the drawer. Suddenly the Unknown told me to get a miner to open it. I see Jade in front of Cargo with a fellow officer. The PDA beeps once again- "I am losing my patience with the miner. Tell him that if he does not leave the holodeck, Rasine will die. If you or him say a word, Rasine will die." Jade has made her way inside Cargo, the box is near the maintenance in docking bay. I run there. my mind of flooded of images of her eating the rat infested trash donuts. I filed all the paperwork, they'll get me, i'm sure of it. Aaron isn't responding, Jade strolls inside, almost near the box. Thank god i was in a tug because i was too shaken to stand. Eying that baton at all times, She says she is taking the box. Wait, now there is a quartermaster and another cargo tech, getting another box is going to be hard, but at least i am not in brig. I rush to holodeck, swearing to the Unknown i will get another box, i swear, just don't hurt anyone. He tells me to tell Miner to follow instructions and delete messages. I decide not to. Later Aaron corners me, asking me what i know. i drop composure. i tell him in normal god damn Tau Ceti that i don't know. I draw out my PDA and show him our conversation. He swears to kill him. This is not compassion. What have i done? It is ok, she gets saved later. I am glad. i regain composure and fall back into my facade of broken Tau Ceti. Not much happen. i mysteriously don't see corgi in bar, wonder what happen. Only one case of Bald discrimination. On departures i meet a fellow BBM employee and we rub our bald heads together. Overall Staff rating; 7/10 Overall B(a)oldness rating; would come back Jonathan Murray
  21. Nod along and ask him when you're traveling, then go and visit the nearest shady merchant, make sure to disregard your wallet and bring a bible instead, obviously your partner is sending you on a quest from GAWD.
