Reply to this post with the characters you play, people will then reply to you asking 'What does X think of my character Y?' then zoom around and ping other people in the same manner to generate some CR chatter! This is a good way to see where your current CR stands and what your characters secretly think of each other.

Froda!

[aloadeddie]

Arthur | aloadeddie
Shepard | cmdreffingshepard

this is likely to be one big litany of "I JUST NEED MORE CR OBVI" but w/e!

[storm_warning]

Arthur, initial thoughts on Ororo?

[aloadeddie]

Uh, well, their thread was very short so I'm not sure he has much of an opinion yet! But she seems... relatively down to earth, at least compared to some of the other people on the turtle!

[suoxi]

Arthur and Inara!

[aloadeddie]

Inara is very intriguing! He's got a bit of a weak spot for attractive women, and one of the most attractive qualities in a woman is the kind of self-confidence that Inara clearly has in spades. So yeah, he definitely wants to get to know her better. Plus, he likes ~mysteries~.

[build]

i don't want to know what he thinks about her



lies

[aloadeddie]

you're a terrible liar.

ANYWAY HM. YES. Arthur likes a lot of things about Ariadne - her talent, obviously. Her tenaciousness, her willingness to learn. He also finds some things about her frustrating, especially since their arrival on he turtle. He's a little bit protective over her, so her willingness to jump into risky situations puts him on edge sometimes, and also when her curiosity is directed at his and Cobb's relationship? That's a bit of a sore spot, and it really rubs him the wrong way when she won't take his word for it and let it go.

ALL IN ALL though, he likes her and probably trusts her the most of anyone on the turtle right now (SORRY COBB).

Re: Froda!

[aenseidhe]

Lol hi Shepard :| thoughts from the few tags they've had? :'D

[cmdreffingshepard]

LOL HI THERE

Ahaha oh man. This is really interesting because of the context Shepard comes from - where there is definitely a lot of tension between different species pretty much all the time, but simultaneously many of them also maintain officially "friendly" diplomatic relationships.

Plus there's the fact that she's kinda got a non-human boyfriend back home.

SO WHAT I'M BASICALLY SAYING IS coming from that context? She has no doubt that this guy probably has reason to be suspicious of humans, but she's also seen firsthand how longstanding prejudice (as well as snap judgments based on fear of superficial difference) just causes more conflict and bloodshed and, frankly, war. So she has little patience for anyone on either extreme.

[aenseidhe]

Lol, right, I love Mass Effect, and I was thinking the context was pretty special.

Iorveth is coming from a world where all nonhumans are pretty brutally persecuted and Dean was punching him in all the rage buttons, so :'D GRANTED, he's pretty much an extremist regardless, so Shepard's judgement isn't really off :'| Either way, I'm really enjoying the thread :D

[polyhistor]

Arthur on Reid and Shepard on Bruce? :3

[cmdreffingshepard]

Arthur is seriously impressed with Reid's intellect! He also totally understands the "I work alone" mindset - being a criminal, even when he works in teams, he's often doing his particular job mostly on his own, both to cover his tracks and to hide his methods - in case another criminal decides to steal from him or frame him or something. Mistrust in some ways is the name of the game, so Reid not trusting him immediately is something he finds... admirable, or worthy of respect.

He still wants to poke and prod him for more info, though. Reid was very helpful in coalescing some of his own ideas about this place, lol.

SHEPARD oh man, Bruce confuses her a little. He's smarter than he looks, but why he chooses to hide it, she's not sure - she's not the kind of person to hide stuff about herself, and for the most part, she'd rather people just be straight with her. Dealing with so many politicians has soured her a bit on the doublespeak thing, but Bruce was actually very helpful during the zombie attack, and very willing to put himself at risk to help civilians, and she super appreciates that.

Keep in mind, one of her closest friends back home once spent several months as a vigilante crime fighter on the biggest cesspool space station in the galaxy. Why? Because no one else was doing it, and he figured the people being exploited and hurt there needed an advocate, someone fighting for them.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, Shepard likes anyone willing to do some good for its own sake.

Re: Froda!

[tangentdarko]

THIS IS PROBABLY THE WRONG VENUE FOR THIS BUT ARTHUR AND COSTIGAN NEED TO TALK.

[aloadeddie]

LOL THEY DOOOOO

Arthur knows about him thanks to Ariadne but yeeeeaaaaaaah. He's definitely curious to see for himself.

[tangentdarko]

lolsorrycapscrazy.

Yeah, I heard about that. It's a fun thing and I hope you don't mind the pseudo-forced CR (because facetwin). I really like Arthur as a character though and we don't have much CR as is, so I appreciate any excuse to try to tag with you.

Re: Froda!

[notamachine]

I would ask Shepard's initial impressions of Dean but LOLOL I THINK I CAN GUESS THEM

[cmdreffingshepard]

RACISSSSSST

You give humans a bad name, Dean. STOP THAT. lollll if her turian boyfriend ever shows up

Re: Froda!

[neverleftharlan]

SHEPARD AND RAYLAN. BASED ON TWO TAGS.

[cmdreffingshepard]

BASED ENTIRELY ON HIS POST... Raylan reminds her of herself, a little. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" or something, sob. She found herself in a very similar situation where she felt she had no choice but to work with some people she knew were very shady and got burned pretty bad so YEAH.

Basically she takes him at his word that he means well but assumes he'll experience something like what she did with Cerberus, but possibly worse because they know even less about the Emperor than she did about Cerberus.

[bothbarrels]

What does Shepard think of North?

[cmdreffingshepard]

A good soldier to have at her back, which is one of the highest compliments she can give - she feels like she can trust him in a fight, he seems reliable! And yeah, she kind of gravitates to that sort of person so she's interested in getting to know him better. :D

[squint]

ARTHUR AND COBB

[aloadeddie]

UGH COBB

GET OUT

I mean uhhhhh so yeah this is complicated, dude. Cobb is one of his oldest friends, but maybe not the closest anymore? And he feels bad about that but at the same time, the guy is obviously really damaged and needs to get out of the business.

And then he showed up here on this freaking turtle, and god help him, if Mal shows up Cobb you are getting your face punched in. :|

In a loving way, though. In a "for your own good" way. BROS.

[imaginate]

Shepard about Kyle?

[cmdreffingshepard]

Ah yes, that "Green Lantern" dude. Aside from the anonymous, and the obvious fake name, he seems like a pretty straightforward kind of guy, which is something Shepard appreciates. He talks like a soldier, so kudos for that! And even the nickname she can get past - she has a friend who did the vigilante thing for a few months, so yeah! Positive first impression!
