Lols... after all this time, I've just learned to stop giving a damn about shipping altogether at this point.

If it happens- and the development is actually well written and logically paced and you know... not just chalked up to something pitiful like Pure Infatuation or so rushed that it's obviously forced and planned from the get-go -then it happens...

I basically don't care so long as there's quality to it. In RPs, I personally don't ever go in pre-planning Ships, but if a PC of mine somehow happens to get close enough to someone else to start developing legitimate feelings...well, what can ya do? If their characterization allows for it, then I just go with the natural flow and don't interfere.

Of course, non of my children have ever had this happen to them before and this is all just hypothetical...

This is exactly my point.

[Chim]

Of course though, none of my children have ever actually had this happen to them before

You sound like an over protective dad xD 'If you hurt my daughter, I will shoot you!'

Anyway, I'm almost finished with 3 new NPCs. Compared to last time Phoebe and all the student NPCs have been removed. The only exception is Matt (RoG) but I barely used him last time. Tyron's team also changed so no more mono fighting. I'll try to add all relevant NPCs this weekend. After that the new ones will be added to the NPC list when they make an appearance.

I swear Stratos has said this to me already... or was that Zephy? It definitely was said in Graterras Original at one point lol.

[Felicity]

It's been said to me before, that I've been overly protective like a dad at times. It makes sense, I can't stand wsomeone fumbling around with my character, of whom they don't truly know.

Ah, Precisely. Chim gets the type I am XD

But yeah, I probably would be the type of dad who would be overly protective of his young... at least until they were old enough to start learning how to defend themselves. Even then though, Papa Wolf would still be waiting and ready to tear out somebodies throat at the first sign of serious and/or mortal danger... Hell, that's one of the reasons why I liked Anver from the Awakened RP so much.

And since well... I did kinda make them and all, alot of my PCs end up falling under this protection too in a way XD

Though I don;t ever recall ever actually saying that phrase to someone, oddly...I don't think I ever had to

however, I do know Dobby said it to me once, back with the whole joke about him being Zeph's mom or something, and Raiza and Mareek were starting to become friends (He went full mama bear on me XD)

Ohhh...thems were the good ole times.

People wonder why I have the nickname "Lupo di Fulmine", it's cause I'm fiercely protective of the few I do really consider friends. I do anything for them lol. Being protective is just in my nature lol.

Especially if you know of KHR and the designation of being a Guardian of Lightning.

Speaking of Counting things, I'll just quickly do a Regioncount and Citycount to see who's from where.

Kanto: 1

Cinnabar Island: 1

Johto: 1

Goldenrod City: 1

Hoenn: 3

Mossdeep City: 1

Dewford Town: 1

Fortree City: 1

Sinnoh: 2

Snowpoint City: 1

Solaceon Town: 1

Orre: 1

Pyrite Town: 1

Unova: 3

Castelia City: 1

Lacunosa Town: 1

Nimbasa City: 1

Kalos: 4

Lumiose CIty: 1

Snowbelle City: 1

Shalour City: 2

Total: 16

Huh, would you look at that. we've got at least one person from every maingame region, as well as one from Orre, with the more developed regions generally having more people. And, with the exception of Shalour City, every city and Town that has someone has one person.

I don't have much opinion on shipping, but if it's not well written, then it's just kinda a trashy fanfic like 50 Shades of Grey.

I'm just going to say that if anyone is going to write any sort of ship with my character, they better call it "A Harrow-ing Experience."

[Lord Bagel]

Just wondering, I thought I was given the green light for my character. Am I missing something or did I just miss myself in the list.

[Felicity]

Sorry, messed up with the spoilers, you were lumped in with K_H

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

Yea it happens... why Spoilers are a pain in the arse when there is a lot of them...

[Felicity]

@Mods, can I get someone to check the spoilers? I'm getting a real weird interaction with them and I can't figure out exactly what the issue with them is

[Chevaleresse]

spoilers are fucky in general and hate people, not sure i can help

[K_H]

Even though I'm not a Mod, i might be able to help.

[Azeria]

Meehhhhhhhhh.

[Felicity]

Yeh, so The K_Bagel profile is now a thing. Enjoy.

[Azeria]

Spoilers:3 Everyone Else:-2

They're multiplying...so fast....so much XD

[K_H]

Just start over with the Spoilers, and use the "More Reply Options" function of the FOrums to your advantage, Dobby.

Here's the score now:

Spoilers: 0

Everyone Else: 99

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

I can probably fix it hold on.

EDIT: Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd fixed. Had to delete K_H's image since I think that's what was messing with it somehow. Don't know. It's was either that or the fact that Copying spoilers is sorta impossible unless you're me or Murdoc. I can defacto copy the spoilers since I can put it into a text editor, but doing it normally and not being me causes the Spoiler tags to get super funky if you jsut grab while it's in the form of a post.

Anyway, problem solved.

[Felicity]

Thank ye Huk bb

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

Yea no problem, I jsut deleted the problem ones and readded them. It wasn't to be an issue. But it's fixed. Anytime Dobbs anytime lol.

...You people and your bloody shipping math. Next thing you know, someone is going to play Hubba's love simulator to determine shipping probabilities. I'm definitely not the overprotective father like Strat and Huk though as I usually would just go with it HenryxRaiza OTP.

And Darvan, not really anything you need to change in the app, it just feels like there are holes missing in the personality. For example, "Doesn't like arrogant or smug people." That really doesn't say anything at all about him. Nobody likes pricks in general. What about cowardly people? Do they fall into his hate group too? "Willing to lead if pressured or nobody else is up for it." Does that mean he's loyal or selfless? Also if he's lazy, is that the main reason he doesn't like being a leader?

There's also the fact that Chim thinks it's a potential a-hole character, and I'm not sure if that's your intent. Personally, I think that's where he'd work, but more because he's a lazy head who probably doesn't care about much in life. It feels more like you're undecided what you want to do then a sporadic type personality. Kind of let a set type of personality sink in.

[Darvan Korematsu]

Hm...bleh. Looks like I got one more thing to explain. "Doesn't like arrogant or smug people who can't back their talk". I added that tidbit in prior specifically to address that situation. Because there are those who talk shit to act intimidating. And then there's those who talk shit because they are intimidating and can reasonably back that up. However you wanna interpret that varies.

Really there are holes in all of our personalities, because we don't have to stay confided to a plastic mold. It's too artificial of a reaction to me. My personality on my character is more hints at patterns you might expect. I'll be more concise when we get to the nitty gritty of it.

EDIT: To sum myself up a little better, I like making characters who can be flexible on their personality. It seems redundant to make a character and get the same cookie cutter responses and actions over and over again. Hence my guy. He's gonna be a box of chocolates. Ya never know what you're gonna get.

What I underlined was the whole point of my post. What you are arguing in that post is nothing more than me saying "Bob likes oranges" in the personality. Tell me what kind of person Bob is? You can't. Now let's say that Bob likes Oranges because they're one of his most prized possessions he grows in his garden in the backyard. It's a jarring example, but at least you know Bob is likely a very dedicated gardener (probably giving the impression he's a hard worker).

I suppose that it is true that there are always holes in characters before an RP starts, but yours is noticable as I couldn't really identify what type of character Ross would be...pretty much at all outside of laziness. It was food for thought when working on your character so you don't need to be so riled up.

[Darvan Korematsu]

*sighs* can't believe I didn't think of this earlier, but read between the lines in his backstory and you might get a clearer picture of some of his inner colors, because I just remembered the correlation between personality and backstory, and even the Pokemon he owns. Instances such as:

Willingness to assert himself as a leader ---> Defiant Pawniard in his possession. They both lose the Contests he participated in.

Random/Unexpected nature ---> Literally didn't even think about his first Pokemon when he obtained it. Also got pissed off at the Daycare couple for assuming he wanted to be a trainer. Even the clothing he wears because usually one can't know what to expect from a dirty-looking person

Unappreciation to authority ---> Elderly couple as I stated earlier, and also forcing him to stop being lazy. Nonstop work in his early life

Lazy nature ---> The workload lightens as he gets older and gets into Pokemon Contests

Paranoia ---> Horns in on conversations. Still antsy about the elderly people sending him away.

If you review those points, you may realize I actually didn't do as terrible of a job crafting Ross as you may imagine. I literally hid tidbits of his real colors underneath the backstory. We all did in one way or another.
