[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh, my bad then. Nevermind, I won against some witches, whooo! \(^-^)/

[Lord Windos]

Yeah, that very blatant disdain for almost anything and everything even a tad supernatural is rather disruptive...it's a wonder Nathan was even able to partially convince him to try and keep it in check, and that still didn't go very well in the end.  

It's also another reason Calam isn't exactly fond of Ventus, connected as he is to those natural magics.  And Nathan's got a growing respect for those same magics too, so...yeah...

Considering that magical and malicious Fairy types ruined what was left of his child hood, alongside his other encounters with the mystical/arcane he's encountered latter in his life (none of which were good), he has a well founded reason for despising anything remotely out of the ordinary. When life's mysteries and extra-normal phenomina seemed to be set out to make your existence utterly miserable and puts you/your loved ones in constant danger, wouldn't you grow to despise magic with a zeal?

Please, for the love of Reshirm and Zekrom, DON'T ever have your character mention that to him. Ven honestly cares for the boy and his plight, but if he even thinks that MAGIC is corrupting his friend, he's either going to flip his lid or permenantly distance himself from them. He can't bring himself to harm a friend, especially after giving his word not to, but that doesn't mean he has to work with a magic bewitched being.

Vish. His backstory must be really dark.

It's the darkest among all the players' so far.  Well, that we know of, anyways.  We never learned Sage's, and Valder's is still a mystery (other than he knows an unusual amount about the Scimitars, however small...).

My idea was just going to have him be an happy, caring and highly empathetic souls with hint of mystery and intrigue about him, but then the Deyo Flowers came in and radically altered my plans. From their, came the birth of a tragic, twisted, yet still clearing compassionate man. Its just that...he doesn't really know how to communicate that well to his true friends...

Nathan's isn't too bad, all things considered.  Mostly just a typical story about a kid who just didn't fit in.  His dad disappearing and finding a Ralts that nearly died just kinda make it an extreme case.

I kinda find it interesting that Nathan's so far the only character that has ongoing, direct connections to the plot so far (sort of.  Kirlia's the real connection for the most part), though. Well, again, that we know of so far.  Shiva; Ventus; Heart; and Larry came from out of region for their own reasons, Vincent works for Mallorn, Valder is so far only connected to the Scimitars, and Sage...was just kinda there as far as we know.

I noticed it too, but I don't mind too much, tbh. Ventus' life is already interesting enough without Legendary Beings or Natural Spirits giving him a hard/plot related time, so Nathan can continue being the star of the show. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like my character to be tied to the overarching plot in some way, but that is up to Iron to decide as to how that will happen.

Now we shoulde celebrate Phantom win with some....SandWichtes I made.

[Spiritmon]

*Spiritmon giving Phantom, Windos and Dragonstrike each some sandwitches*

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

*thankfully noms a sandwitch*

I feel we're all important to the game and plot for our own reasons, none is the 'star of the show'.

[Spiritmon]

I agree. *Eating a sandiwitche* Like Optimus Prime say one time: "Each one of us is a gear from the same machine".

[Dragonstrike]

*absentmindedly chews on a sandwich while working on a persuasive essay and accounting homework*

True.  Just looks like Nathan's a bigger gear surrounded by some smaller ones...for now.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Lol, Windos, I was just about to ask what's with your free Encounter and whether I shall flash forward to meet up with Ven again. Though, I'll wait until you finished your battle.

[Iron]

I've got plenty of plot plans for Shiva and Ventus. Valder and I have already discussed his place in the campaign, too. None yet for Heart, but I'm working on them.

[Spiritmon]

Well we could see Nathan have a strong mind. Every gear is important. Nor gear is little or bigger.
