OOC: Intact Plastic (the non-S'Plastic RP)
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 2:26 am
Discuss the game Out Of Character in this thread.
Suggestion: To avoid confusion in this thread, if a TFL member has the same screen name as the character he/she/it is playing in the RP, type the character's name normally, but underline the screen name or put it in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. For example, Minerva's location is on Cybertron, but Minerva's location is in Sweden. Wreck-Gar sang from Weird Al's song "Amish Paradise" in one of WRECK-GAR's posts. (Bonus points for the Wreck-Gar/Weird Al reference, by the way.) i want to blow Dirge and Skywarp to pieces, but i don't want to blow up Dirge and Skywarp.
Blackjack doesn't recognize Wreck-Gar and the Junkions, but Dirge knows what Junkions are, and the Junkions themselves are already allied with the Autobots. Presumably that means that in this game's continuity, the Cybertronian TFs have encountered the Junkions before, but Blackjack has not personally encountered any, so he doesn't recognize them right away, even if he knows what they are. Like, an Earthling Human might know that a lynx is a type of giant cat, but might actually see a lynx for the first time and only know that they're looking at a giant cat, without realizing, "Oh, so this is what a lynx looks like." Does that make sense? As another example, Wreck-Gar and the Junkions might immediately recognize and defend Blackjack and Minerva (even though neither of them is the leader of the Autobots, and even though neither of them recognize any of the Junkions, despite both of them knowing what Junkions are), the same way that a group of off-duty U.S. Marines might recognize and defend Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton (even though neither of them is the President of the United States, and even though neither of them recognize any of the Marines, despite both of them knowing what the Marines are).
In other news, i have been informed that i am not supposed to have as many characters as i do; i have asked a mod for an exception, but 1) am willing to accept it if i'm told no, and 2) am NOT willing to wait for an answer.
Therefore, i will be incapacitating my half-dozen Junkions, at least for now, and temporarily taking on the role of a Decepticon character. i'd much rather play for the Autobots, but since TT's characters seem disinclined to join the fight in Iacon just yet, i think the Decepticons could use someone on their side to help make it more of a fair fight: three-and-a-half Autobots, three Decepticons.
3.5 AUTOBOTS (once my Junkions are out of the fight)
Blackjack
Wreck-Gar
Minerva
whoever/whatever Minerva is on her way to help
3 DECEPTICONS (once i add my new character)
Dirge
Skywarp
Solder (my new character)
i would like to emphasize that i expect Solder to be a temporary role, so don't give him anything too important to do; i expect him to be deactivated before this scene is over, or at the very least flee and go off somewhere to hide while i play somebody more important.
Oh, and whatever happens, i don't think i want to play a faction leader anytime soon.
Another thing: i'm curious to see if anyone can identify the sources of all the things Wreck-Gar and my Junkions are saying. (My Junkions call themselves "the A-Team", by the way.)
