    Well, the ability to mess with my character's body is a huge part of the draw, since costumes are my favourite part. And I really don't like the default body for women. I can adjust to a lot of stuff, but lack of control has made me go nowhere with a lot of other games.

    Yeah, I'm a lot more hesitant to spend my money on stuff just because the price is so high. I'm a lot more likely to go 'welllll, it's not THAT much...' which is how I end up with sacks full of books during sales.

    Er, actually, this is working out for me. Disregard.

    That makes me picture them floating in front of computers, typing with their minds.

    I know the *reason* for why the gender disparity is because it probably wasn't planned in the character model stage, but I do like this speculation (well, the parts that aren't weird pseudo-science).

    I'm just glad they let me make a male widow for Arachnos. I got another guy who's an escapee from the seer program for a Praetorian too.

    Not that much. I uh, tried out her pose before I said anything.

    So many pennies!
  7. That kitten gif is both adorably and weirdly heartbreaking.
  8. I'm trying to figure out why she's twisting herself like that, and all I'm coming up with is like how a cat twists in mid-air to avoid water? She's trying not to get herself on the psyknife.

    Look! Look at how the bear hands caress his nipples!

    Anyway, vaya con dios, States. I will miss you, but not as much as you missed your nethers, I bet.

  11. I desire a lamp aura. I never knew what I was missing until now.

    Or a lamp piece. I just want a lamp.

    They don't have them?

    That's just weird.

    Okay, I thought about it for a second. If they're afraid of trans characters, more than a little offensive. But I'm worrying about that from a personal place, that may not be the reason at all.

    STAFF you all!

    I've managed to make a nice set of characters so far for staff. Using the trident (atlantean), the metal pole (streetfighter), the wooden pole (for a scarecrow), and the wrapped wooden one (The Phantom-esque Chinese folk hero).

    It kept my mind off my exams for a while, at least.

    Although, god help me, since part of the exam is logical fallacies my hobby of looking at forum arguments isn't helping.

    But at least it's shutting me up when I realize I can't stop doing them myself.
  14. No wonder the cops take themselves outside and fling themselves on the bullets of Hellions.
  15. Semi-repeating what I said in the other thread, but since we're on the topic of heckling, my god.

    I will stress that since I don't quiz everyone I meet in-game on if they're pvpers, I have no idea how many pleasant ones I've met. But there is some sort of breed of them that shows up in the broadcast and the help having some pissing contest with someone and declaring they win because they could win a pvp match, regardless of what the actual topic of argument is.
  16. I think I have some sort of lingering PVP trauma, because my first supergroup enforced doing it, I was a newbie empath, and I just remember dying horribly over and over and over and being told I was in trouble if I didn't show up next time.

    I am no longer with them.

    Other than that, my only experience with pvp is gladiator battles, which are fun, and the sometimes troll who shows up in broadcast who thinks they win some argument because they're positive they can beat you in a pvp fight.


    Aaand that's why I don't pvp.


    Also because I'm the guy who always gets stuck in the bush.

    What do those have to do with each other?
  18. I use it for two things!

    1. I like making my own starting arcs sometimes, if I'm feeling particularly sick of Habashy and I want something customized to my character's storyline.

    2. I like to pretend my characters are playing videogames and choose an arc I saw advertised that seemed interesting. I tend to rp do those with my sister and once described it as 'it's like an x-box where you get beaten up'.

    FUN FACT, before Lucy there was... Violet.

  20. I want to punch Marauder out and steal his hair.

    But barring that, I think I'd like that cop Drudge. That is one cool costume.

    I think because it's such a funny word with a damn weird mental image attached that it's latched on so well.
