I'm currently trying to do that with the Spinoff, making romance that is as normal as possible.

Doubt that most reader will care about it, but I want to write it anyway.

Bowling - "I'll keep rolling this ball until it knocks down all the pins!"

Despite that, people still enjoy watching and playing sports because they involve more than just the goal and the means.

Actually,if you watch AFL (Australian Football League) like I do, nobody cares as much about the goal as the number of poor schmucks that get run over in the process of getting the ball from point A to point B...

...IS Quidditch, anyone?

@ Senpai - You kidding me? That archive loves Rom-com and romance.

demino_hellsin · 2012-03-14, 06:13

@eras: Do share your wisdom

srsly

I realized I was doing something stupid... giving back stories to extras and supporting characters I don't even know whether will be used or not. D:

Spoiler for hometown backstory:

Spoiler for vegetable vendor backstory:

Spoiler for Lyon's mother and father:

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-14, 06:18

But they give no damn about Dan, our beloved Bromantic Foil. |3

@ Demi - Racism's way too overused nowadays. Tone it down in your backstory. It's better if something's personal rather than general. Racism is targeted for just about anyone with that race, make something more specific.

I tend to show normalcy by putting slice of life. For example: THe beginning of Future Kazuma's arc is straight out of a Stealth game and ends with him getting into a knife fight with Laura. Later on, he joins the cast in attending a traditional festival.

@ Senpai - So? One reviewer said that FI would be bettr with no Dan, I'm going to reply that Dab stays there and he/she can stop reading if she doesn't like it.

IS Quidditch: because ordinary mech fights aren't dangerous enough.

Eratas123 · 2012-03-14, 06:54

Apart frombeing a nice guy, what do the girls love about Ichika?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-14, 06:57

He's handsome?

demino_hellsin · 2012-03-14, 07:01

@eras: how personal?

Eratas123 · 2012-03-14, 07:02

.....That's it?

demino_hellsin · 2012-03-14, 07:10

two words?

Spoiler for Haha:

Ichika, what have you done....

Eratas123 · 2012-03-14, 07:16

Yeah, but you need a lot more to get that level of devotion. Please don't bother elaborating on Charlotte's and Laura's, they're easy enough to understand.

Not Quidditch but.. probably something like Lacrosse

IS Lacrosse rule:
Keeping the ball in the stick to throw at the goal to score while trying protecting each other from opposing team's shooting (to get the ball).

Eratas123 · 2012-03-14, 07:54

@ Senpai - What's happening there?

StratoSpear · 2012-03-14, 07:59

IS Griffball. I'm all up for that.

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-14, 08:07

Josh was holding <her> while waiting for Elly & [Fang Quake] to came.

And then <her> mooks reporting that Ichika (and Ichika alone) is attacking a full squad of 12 P.S., seemingly coming from nowhere (actually, he came from LEO), foiled PT's ambush attack.

Talk about spanner.

Eratas123 · 2012-03-14, 08:10

Is it possible to cause internal bbleeding by punching someone?

Side note - It's getting more and more actionized.

demino_hellsin That one guy Join Date: Nov 2011	@eras: Do share your wisdom srsly I realized I was doing something stupid... giving back stories to extras and supporting characters I don't even know whether will be used or not. D: Spoiler for hometown backstory: The town Lyon lives in generally dislikes foreigners. Despite foreigners only settling down there a few decades ago, it seems the people are bitter about the fact these foreigners are eating up the businesses. Formerly booming businesses died out since they were only small shops or firms bought out by foreign conglomerates. The current generation of teens living there grew up with a huge shift in their lifestyle from rich to barely below average. Spoiler for vegetable vendor backstory: The vegetable vendor lady hates foreigners but tolerates Lyon. She gets the best wares so Lyon puts up with her. In truth the old lady is bitter about her sweetheart being stolen away by a foreign woman. In the old lady's youth, her sweetheart had taught her a proper way of life because she was originally a "woman of the red light district". But after he set her straight, he left her. The old lady tolerates Lyon because he reminds her of her daughter, the one she lost even though the girl was born from the old lady's days in the red light district Spoiler for Lyon's mother and father: Lyon's mother and father had some sort of cinderella thing going on. Lyon's mother was born to a rich family. She spent her days abusing the family's riches and power. Eventually her father had enough of her and told her to live on her own for a few years to set her straight. Lyon's mom worked for the family company but without benefits nor the permission to use her real name to know what it means to not be rich. There, she met Lyon's father who was an engineer. He helped her out whenever she was in a tight spot even when the other workers mocked her because they were all locals of the foreigner hating town. Eventually they got together. They got married and had Lyon. Lyon's mother had no intention of returning to the family. The family found out and forced her to comeback to marry another company's heir, because Lyon's father was a commoner. She was forced to leave under threat that the company would Ruin Lyon's and his father's lives. She married the other man and is still sorrowful to this day.

ZeroXSEED I am no one Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Inside your head	Spoiler for Haha: She growled gratingly as her bayonet clashed with the huge broadsword. Both of the parties involved wore a face-obscuring, visor, who also has the secondary function of sensor enhancement and protection. However, she knew this person. Huge physique of a grown up male, baritone, playful voice, this guy, clad in outdated I.S. unit, [ShiroKishi], is the same she met two months ago, as well as months before that. While she was by no means too weak in close combat, her unit wasn't really designed to do so. Neither are his, seeing the design of the arm. However his pair of small wings and compact skirt boosters gave him advantage in the cramped space of the corridor. "[Perhaps you shall surrender, Ojouchan]" "[Keep dreaming]" Sensor giving her the sign of additional danger, and she hastily retreat. "[Lead, this is Echo 3]" "[Echo 1 here, what is the matter]" "We're been attacked and lost Echo 5 and 6!]" "..." "[Its only a single unit... it's...it was Orimura Ichika! KYAAA-]" BZZZZZT *CRASH* "Tch, how the heck...." Ichika, what have you done.... __________________
