Avatar: Lightning strikes (OOC)

[ChasNicollette]

I'll see if I can't get everyone rounded up.

:: nodnod ::

I was hesitant to post again until everyone said they were going or staying, I'd've hated to presume anything.

We do have everyone, now? :: counts on her fingers ::

(Also, Eazy? You might be gratified to know that over in "LDoK," I just had a supervillainess quote "Ghostbusters 2." Just FYI, totally. :: grins :: )

 

[Eazy]

I'm pretty much ready to go whenever. Mainly waiting for Sokka and Katara since Ryota wouldn't take the initiative of joining up on this mission before either of them came to their decision.

 

[Mephistophelily]

Well, I'm gonna leave Azula alone for a bit, until everyone gets caught up...
...Probably do the same with Toph too.
She's most likely sulking anyway.

 

[Mister J]

Eck, didn't realize you all were waiting on me. I'll get a post up asap and get Sokka on the ship. I imagine Katara will follow him, but I'll leave that to the person who is NPCing her to decide.

 

[UnseenMaiden]

no one's really npcing her..last I checked... I kind of figured she was just being used as Sokka baggage...poor Katara..such baggage

 

[ChasNicollette]

Such treatment is unworthy of such a loverly creature.

We got nobody wants to call dibs on the pretty Waterbender?

 

[Mephistophelily]

I've got m' hands full with crazy angry firebitch and blunt blindy boulder-flinger.

That?

Is definitely a handful.

And I got tea-swilling thunder-cracking skirt-chasing Buddha-in-a-Box and morally-grey sarcasmatrix Earth-to-Air Missile chica.

 

[Eazy]

You know, if I were a girl, I'd probably have taken Katara instead of going with Longshot or creating my own Water Bender. She's probably my favorite female character, and third overall after only Sokka and Iroh.

As it stands, however, I doubt in my abilities of doing a realistic take on a female character.

Cursed penis.

 

[Ahren1]

I'm still not convinced I can play Aang properly. I think I'd do even worse with Katara, though I planned on NPCing her briefly for the upcoming posts.

 

[ChasNicollette]

It astonishes me that you guys don't have much more confidence in your considerable abilities.

:: hands on hips ::

Though she is a very nuanced and complex character, I'm a little daunted by her m'self.

Tell you what. Um. If it's okay with everyone, if it's okay, I'll take Katara on for a few posts after Ahren's done with his planned NPCing?

I'll do my best. And... um. What's the line from "Starship Troopers?"

"I'll do the job, until I die or you find someone better."

(If I suck, I'll gladly pass her on to someone else. But I'll have a go. If that's okay.)

*Whispers*
I think they're afraid of writing something that'll offend the actual women of the thread...

I used to write a male character awhile ago.
A gay Autolycus.


*Already expects a few comments on that...*

 

[Ahren1]

Our abilities? I was considering playing Iroh at points until I saw your interpretation, which is 100x better than what I was imagining! I'm sure you'll do amazing with Katara as well. Though don't take her for our sake, wouldn't want you to have too much on your plate.

I'm fine playing female characters, but her personality is different than I'm used to writing for. Same with Aang.

Autolycus?

:: pauses ::

I'm trying, here, but my brain is failing me. Is this the theiving character Bruce Campbell played on "Hercules" and "Xena?"

:: pauses :: Did your version kiss Kevin Sorbo?

Yeah, that's not adorable at all.

:: tries to fan herself surreptitiously, but is blushing so fiercely her attempt to hide it is kind of comical ::

Um.

Thankyew.

(I worried that my Iroh was stank. But thankyew.)

And. Eh. I already have too much on my plate. :: grins :: But I'm thinking on cutting back on a few threads, so tacking a little more onto this one shouldn't cause me to have (another) episode.

I'm nervous as crap about this. But someone has to be brave, for Katara's sake!

Yes.

:: pauses :: Did your version kiss Kevin Sorbo?

No.
Kevin Smith[size=-2](not the one referenced in other thread)[/size]'s Ares.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Kevin Smith[size=-2](not the one referenced in other thread)[/size]'s Ares.

Ooh.

He was pretty.

:: shivers softly ::

I might have to. Cold water on my face. Brb.

:: scarpers! ::

 

[Mephistophelily]

...I kinda miss that RP group too.
*Pouts*
MSN deleted us.

Those bastards!

Man, I would have loved to have read that.

M'sorry, Lil. :: frowns ::

 

[UnseenMaiden]

mmm Ares.. *grins lecherously* I loved the look..the character and all his mood swings...

and I like Katara a lot.. I just find her a sadly boring prospect to play

most of my male characters tend to come out unintentionally gay... which is why the last time I played a guy it was a male version of Starfire.. cause he'd sort of come off that way anyways with his rainbow brite personality

 

[Eazy]

*sighs* I miss Kor. It's a shame neither Hex nor Terran had a chance to interact much with him.

Well, except for when Terran was an NPC which everyone in Titan Towers wanted to kill. As opposed to me making him a PC which everyone in Titan Towers wanted to kill.

And that's pretty much the same reason for my reluctance in playing a female character. Think they'd either come off too 'manly' or I'll go too far and end up playing them like a borderline stereotype.

Katara: Toph, you go, girlfriend! *double water whip snap*

 

[ChasNicollette]

Okay.

So. My goals are... :: counts on her fingers :: a) not boring, b) not stereotypical, and c) not unintentionally gay.

These are helpful goals.

 

[Mephistophelily]

Katara: Toph, you go, girlfriend! *double water whip snap*

No.
Just...
No.

 

[Mephistophelily]

I attempted a looong while ago an RP loosely based on H & X.
Borrowed more from Young Herc; a warrior's academy with mortals, mythic creatures, & half gods, either teaching, studying or harassing.


Didn't gain more than 3 interested parties.
