hee hee@ gnomanizes

It'll be a few days. I'm wiped out from work and am struggling to stay awake, so nothing complex today, not until Monday.

Quick poll: Which player wouldn't mind if his character went through a ... family... tragedy? I don't want to execute this subplot unless I think the player is interested.

Hmm... while that would be interesting, I don't know what Charlotte's reaction would be...

I think that it would be fun to RP that... it would be difficult for her to decide what to do... would be an interesting challenge, to determine what she would think would be best...

BTW - if you need her history, Zhure, I can write it up in notepad or something and send it to you. It's been quite a bit more developed since I originally wrote it, so I'm sure that you could find something in there to throw at Charlotte...

Ok, more detailed would be fine. Make sure you clearly differentiate if something is not public knowledge.

Work has me badly fatigued after the Christmas season, but this week marks my nine-day holiday. After my Sunday game, I'll have more free time for a week or so.

I'll try. If you need anything clarified, of course, just ask and I'll try to clean it up.

This is the quick history of Victor. His mother died giving birth to him.

History: (short version) Victor was the second son of a noble warrior, but he never shared his father's love for martial arts, neither he was built for them, having spent most of his childhood sick in bed. His brother August instead excelled in them since he was a child, and became a valiant fighter. August was obviously his father's favorite, since Victor couldn't even bear a sword and was scared by his father's warhorses. When Vic was 14 his father finally gave up and decided that he wouldn't become a warrior. Victor then began to study to become a skilled diplomat to help his father in political meetings, and had time to devote to his music. But the more his father appreciated him, the more his brother was jealous and mean, till the day August challenged him to a duel, and he would have killed Vic without their father intervention. Victor then decided to leave and went to Drell's Academy to finish his studies.

And this is how he remembers his last meeting with his brother, taken from a nightmare in part III

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Defend yourself!
I-I don't want to-
Defend yourself, you crawling worm!
August, you must be drunk. What have I-
You DARE to ask me what you have done!? We know very well what you have done, you slimy snake. You tricked him! You played games with his mind, didn't you?!
I-I-I never-
Never, you say? Then, how do you explain that suddenly you're invited to parties and meetings, your advice is needed, and he's "proud of you", you spineless coward, while everything I do can't satisfy him?
"I was expecting more from you, August. I am very disappointed" it's all he says to me now. And you, you're telling me you did nothing to him? I have seen what you do, to make people think what you want them to think. Defend yourself, I said! Or die just like the worm you are!
August attacks Victor with his sword, then changes into a manta ray shaped horror, that grabs Victor in an iron grasp and begins sucking his life out...
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

If you think your subplot fits his history then go right ahead.

Zhure, mind if I change trinket to ectoplasmic strand? I haven't used trinket and actually just accuired sudden minor creation, so it is quite much useless (except to save points).

 

[Zhure]

That's an acceptable change.

No updates until Saturday. I'm on vacation and I spent half a day getting a tattoo finished. Four hours of papercuts in the same place; I'd just wind up killing people off....

[Zhure]

That brings this one to a total of nine hours.
