As for Goose hammering Arcas, I happen to think its a good thing. Currently, there isn't any OC that doesn't get along with another OC (Not that I can think of anyway). All the OCs get along with each other. This is boring. But now ,we're finally starting to see some real negative type interaction between OCs. Oh the topic of why he commented only on the last scenario, has it ever occurred to you that Arcas is your most well known OC? Truthfully speaking, I completely forgotten the existence of Mel and Boomer (I never quite forgotten about Arcas since he held a special place in my heart for trying to take Ginga's purity). Maybe he only remembers Arcas well enough to write about him. Think about this a little. |

Busy busy busy busy... That's how I'd describe my last week. First an unexpected business trip, then more work waiting for me when I got back. It gets quite busy over here at the end of each month.
In any case, I have a week's worth of backlog to go through, so I probably will just go through it all as quickly as possible and not comment much. Hopefully I'll get back on track soon. P.S. Super Smash Bros Brawl is very nice. --- Quote:

I wouldn't blame the slowdown entirely on the irc channel though. It's a combination of busy people, missing people, the irc channel, and the genderbending thread stealing our people.

I can't believe I'm using this again... IKUZE!
GESPENST RUSH!!! Quote:
Quote:
In charecter interactions, Franz would bitch equally at all of them. However, due to the fact that I was in a hurry, plus Arcas is the XO of the 82nd and the most senior, plus the most prominent, I chose him to be the one Franz responded to. Also, it's because Franz and Arcas are, despite their differences in rank, more or less equals; Arcas is the 82nd's XO, while Franz is Assault Company Commander and on-track to be the OFM's XO and future CO. ...mind you, he was supposed to have become the XO around ten years ago or so, so it's safe to say that his career path has stalled and strayed from how Erick mapped it out for him all those years ago. Quote:
Franz would bitch more on the collateral damage but would equally be pissed at Boomer for killing Due. He would also not be impressed as he's seen Ivanovich accomplish similar kills with less explosions. ....secretly, he would approve of the explosion. But he'd also not be totally supportive of it because it's not the hotel owner's fault that Due chose to use that as her base of operations, and also because while he appreciates sniping, Franz prefers to get in close to the target, take it out, and do so with as few traces as possible - that's his covert style. (Which is different from his assault style, which involves throwing grenades and shooting an MA5C like 7.62mm and frags are going out of fashion.) This is probably due to the fact that he sucks ass at shooting with a scope that isn't a reflex sight. Quote:
Naomi: "I'd shoot her with TTR. We need her alive, she's no good to us dead." Mel: "But-" Naomi: "Oh yes, she would die. After she tells us what she knows. Willingly or unwillingly." *smile* "Ah, well, it explains why you're doing jobs on the Rim, not a member of the OFM." Alpha Naomi is more snarky compared to StrikerS Naomi. This is Franz's fault. IRC knows why. Quote:
Quote:
Reiji, I chose to respond to senario 3 for several reasons. Firstly, what could I really respond to 1 and 2? Both were just too short to really flesh out things. Senario 3 was different though: Arcas made a token effort at Due, provoked her, then killed her. It was longer and gave me more things to work with. I'm not as familliar with Boomer or Mel as Arcas, so trying to write something involving them while rushing before going to work would have been a headache for me. I have a decent feel for Arcas, however, and there was more development for him and the setup in Senario 3 that I could work with it. In no way did I say that I was haxbusting Arcas or keeping anything real. I was merely making a what-if senario based on how I envision Franz would repond to Arcas, drawing on his experiences of being blackops, following orders and rules of engagement, and his time as a cop, plus an important plot point to his relationship with Naomi in Alpha. Go read his profile for it. It has something to do with killing people who didn't need to die. (The Gardai are the Erusian equivalents to the current Iraqi police, who have to brave terrorist bombs and trade fire with Al-Qaeda every time they step outta their police stations.) Please note something: I only haxbust the profiles as the charecters are being developed. Reading Arcas' profile, there are a number of things that make me go "WTF", but I'm not busting anything about him because he's already been busted and approved. What I said on Aurion applies here: Arcas has the same pass that Aurion has because he was already approved, and on a more pragmatic note, I have enough things on my plate without busting already approved charecters. Do not try to guilttrip me or pull the "I was here longer" whine cards on me; my boss tried that on me this morning and hung my salary over my head and I stood my ground: do you really think I'm going to back down when you're using those tactics on me? Consider something also, Reiji: experience/length of time on OC does not equal activity. Let's break things down. You joined in June 2007 and as of today have 551 posts, which translates to about 15 posts per week (9 months, standard month is 4 weeks, you've been a member approximately 35 weeks). I joined in November 2007 and have 350 posts as of today, which translates to about 21.8 posts per week. I spend more time on the forums and have more activity here than you. It's actually kind of sad that I have more activity in sixteen weeks of forum time compared to you for the same amount of time. And you're the older member of OC. Regardless, this is a totally fallacious argument. I have gone through the same vetting process that each member of OC has gone through. I have written fanfiction. I have made profiles. I have been subjected to haxbusting of both my OCs and my work, by TK. I have scrapped Joint Training 1 & 2 from Alpha Canon because of TK's haxbusting opening my eyes to the fail that it was. I have never attempted to bring in an OC and go, "I have the right to skip haxbusting and scrutiny because I am the author who made this OC." I am not spewing hate for Arcas. If I was, I would be writing bad Arcas-bashing fanfiction. Reread that response carefully, objectively. As Xen said, this is very telling of Franz, and ties in to senarios and possibilities that I've mentioned to IRC. This is Franz's in-charecter response to the situation. As a charecter, Franz is very bitter and disillusionised with the TSAB, especially by the time Alpha rolls around. He's very sick and tired of TSAB regulars throwing their weight around, and is disgusted at what he perceives as the incompetance of the TSAB. Because most of his interactions with TSAB personnel were traitors and corrupt officers who were to be executed, Franz has a dim view of the TSAB, believing that there is something inherently rotten at the TSAB's core. That the RAF and Ground Forces savaged his Air Ground Task Force paper on how to link air and ground mages didn't help much. From the literary standpoint, then, Arcas is a godsend for my purposes; he's the perfect foil to Franz. Everything about the TSAB that Franz dislikes is either seen in Arcas or projected onto him by a bitter & disillusionised Franz, which is a godsend to me, since I don't have to make another OC. Also, as Tshou said, it was getting boring with all our OCs getting along together; we need some drama to spice things up a little. Lastly: Your Kill Due Senario 3 was the only Senario I replied to because when pressed for time (I was posting on the run before going to work - works starts at 8.30 and it was 8.07 when I posted), I chose to go with the best-written and most-developed scenario out of the three. I get to write, develop Franz and demonstrate his personality more, and show the difference in how the OFM and 82nd operate, plus his distaste/disgust for TSAB regulars and dislike of Arcas. Killing that many birds with one stone? Of course I'm gonna take that opportunity, the way I'm taking this new job at a new company! Now, gonna sleep. Night, people.

Second, if Arcas' & Franz' roles are to play the foil to each other, then I don't mind. Just make sure the victories aren't one-sided, okay? And BORING CAN BE GOOD! Quote:
In other words, if you'd responded to all three like that, I'd just have said, "Okay, guy has a thing for not liking Bureau officers yada yada yada..." It's when 1 character in specific gets targeted that I get pissed. Thought I'd say so. |

As for IRC, I was just mentioning it to remind the IRC guys on the plotpoints and that they have a heads up on it. You CAN read his profile to find that plot point. Quote:
Quote:
Also, Arcas is a sort of foil for Franz. Sort of. That's how I try to write it. His real purpose, in Franz's eyes, is as living embodiment of everything he hates about the TSAB. Quote:
Quote:
(And frankly, in the real world, Arcas and Dirk would piss people off.) You think it's bad? Kagerou's makin' me GAY in Khrack vs Kerokanon, for cryin' out loud! Dynamic Entrance much? Surprisingly, I'm the only person whose OCs want to capture Due alive. Everyone else wants to kill her brutally. Franz: "The Sergeant Major stabbed her in the heart!" Ivanovich: "Just enough to the right to hurt but not kill."

And yes, he's quite simple, but that's because I haven't gotten around to introducing him to my story, so his personality is still quite simple. But as I progress my story and get closer to introducing him, his personally is probably going to get better. Besides, I don't really know anything of the character save for the one Gaoranger movie where he made a guest appearance, and even then, all I know is that he's a strong swordman, and has some sort of interesting past that would involve me actually going back and watching Liveman, which I don't really feel like doing. In terms of his career, think of it as the three Aces getting a lot of the cool jobs
