[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Spiritmon]

Let me deal with Riza. To try convince her to join us.

[Lord Windos]

Now that I think about it, I forgot to award some XP for Arial's taking down Riza, so I will give him + 6 XP and 1 Willpoint for that!

As for getting Riza to join you, its certainly a possibility, as they said, but its going to be hellishly hard to convince not only her to play nice with 'The Darkness' that took away her friend Big Bug, but also the rest of the group as well, least of all Reiner who can actually be convinced if you play your cards right.

Her insanity can be tempered and control much in the same way Arial does with his broken mind (Getting help and learning to cope with it), and the T.P.K. could potentially speed up that process as well if you get creative, but that still wouldn't solve her fear of Reiner (Which at this point is TOTALLY justified; he's arguably a bigger monster/has the potential to be a bigger monster than she'll ever be).

Riza's death count isn't HUGE as one might think, too. Insane as she was and had an appetite for blood, she doesn't/didn't kill indiscriminately, and hunted mostly to keep herself from starving/worse while trying to live in isolation the vast majority of the time. She's also learned of blood banks by sheer accident, and makes a point to stop by anyone she comes across to raid them too, so that cuts down on the need for death. Additionally, she only goes on spree killings/huntings in cities because of the abundance of people and to gorge herself on blood to regurgitate for later storage (Remember those Gallon Pitchers?) so she doesn't have to hunt for weeks on end. Finally, like in the case with Ariana, she doesn't kill ALL her victums/prey if she can help it , as that is a wasteful/some part resist the urge , and this is the case with roughly 1/3 females she hunts.

On average, she only hunted a female person every two-three weeks, so over the course of 7 years she's killed....roughly 121 people low ball estimate without counting the burst killings and subsequent cool down periods AND her attempts to go cold turkey and failing, 182 high balling it, and when you factor in that she spares about a third of her prey, those numbers deflat to (121 - 40) = 81 and (182 - 60) = 122 respectively. Over 8 years those number get slight higher, but the point stands. So she's killed quite a lot of people, but by no means has she killed more than two hundred of them!

[Spiritmon]

Still, she did kill people, but like Arial, she just do that to survive. He kill to survive back in Tandor. So he might no reason to let her kill. Well she DID hurt his Pokemon who piss him off a lot, but he indeed could undestand that. And she did preserve his Pokemon so he thank her at least. One side note Windos: I be online almost all day so lets continue that campaigh to end the Vampire adventure!

Basically, yes. She's more akin to an animal/high function retard with animal instinct than a genuine cold blooded killer, but has just enough self control and humanity left in them NOT to be completely feral/murderous at all times. Still Insane and a blood sucker that the group has justifiable reasons to scorn and hate, though, so uphill battles away....!

Btw, 'Reiner' already told you about the plan to dispose of Riza (Ala foisting her off to Ariana) , but he didn't say a lick about her backstory/life's circumstance, and I doubt he ever will unless you give him sufficient reason to (or at least that is what I assume, judging from what I know of his character). Still, might be able to needle him enough to get him to aquisit to your demands, especially if she has useful intel about stuff....

Btw, time for me to go to bed, since its 4:30 AM where I am, and if I stay up any longer I'm liable to pass out. However, just in case either you or Dragonstrike and your charas get into fights, I'll lay down some ground rules while I snooze:

-'Reiner' , 'Mew' , Angelica etc.. are not permitted to attack each other over an disagreement, unless either character does something REALLY extreme

-Either 'Reiner' or Arial can argue their point for however long they like while I'm asleep, while the others presumably listen with faint disbelief that this is happening.

-If things can't be agreed upon in Game Thread between characters, then their will be a bidding war that will decide Riza's fate . Who ever is more willing to bid more of their character's XP will win that decision.

Anything besides this will have to be arbitrated by me personally, so don't get to work up over this issue now!

[Spiritmon]

Well I did a little change in my post Windos so when you awake you can take a look my friend. Also I want to Arial at least try to talk with Riza. He might dont know her past, but he could feel her pain. They are quite similar. And I doubt they both will get into a fight. Since Reiner help rescue Arial (even if it was Arial who finish the job about defeat the Vampire) he greateful for that. Arial its a madman indeed, but not ungrateful.

[Spiritmon]

Also was a side note: That comic you post that image of Riza is indeed interesting. I been reading for quite a time! I know the intention was only use as reference about Riza, but you bring a indeed piece of pearl from the internets! So yeah, thanks a lot Windos!

[Spiritmon]

Spirit here and ready to continue the campaigh!

(...) Mina, you can blush some mustacho or something in my face or anything like that. (...)

Good idea, 'cause she already has paint in her face just because she's an artist~

However, I thought she's still passed out/assumed dead?

[Spiritmon]

Damn, I confused Emily with Mina! Might correct this right away! Its kinda confused since the two is kinda artist so sometimes I swap one with other.
