Three Ficlets. :)

[zekkass]

Hello again! I haven’t posted here in a while, but I do have snippets to show you. Three of them, to be exact. All contain ZEX/Captain as an assumed pairing. All are rated PG-13, or lower. Oh, and one suggests ZEX/Captain/DAX. You’ll see. 8D

OD Fantastic drabbles are fantastic. <3

And as for Landel's... mmm,let's see the rules...

2) We do not allow any original characters. Our rationale for this is that there isn't any sort of characterization standard or background that we can be sure will be held true to in either an application or in actual RP, which makes it very hard for us to judge OC applications, especially if we aren't familiar with a player's writing and characterization ability.

That's the closet applicable thing I can find. :O But DAX certainly has a characterization standard of sorts, even if he's a minor-to-the-point-of-unnoticeable character.

And hey, if the mods don't okay DAX, you could try DOX from the sequel! :D

[zekkass]

Thanks!

And if they need a place for characterization, I can tell them that I cite zarla's Secret Theaters.

I've never played SC3, so that'd be out. Maybe I could play Commander Hayes, if all else failed?

[alanahikarichan]

<3

Mm, yes. :O Well, GOOD LUCK. *Thumbs up*

I think Zarla uploaded videos of most of the game to YouTube, actually, so you could get his character from those. But Hayes would be fun! Or Talana. :D Or really anyone from SC2~ I suddenly got this mental image of someone playing Content to Hover. OH MY.

[zekkass]

I have problems with SC3. Ah well.

CONTENT TO HOVER AS A HUNAM! :D :D :D Why didn't I think of that

Oh my goodness that would be adorable. If the mods don't want DAX, then I am doing a Sylandro.

[alanahikarichan]

... aaaah do want. <3 That would be so strange! At least the VUX have, like, legs and stuff, and breath-- how does an intelligent filter-feeding amoeba from a gas giant adjust to *waves vaguely at the ground under her* this? Oh man. <3 DO WANT, SO MUCH.

[zekkass]

Unfortunately, Content to Hover wouldn't really fit in at the RP ZEX and Zelnick are at. Oh well. (I could attempt it, but I really hope DAX gets through.)

Maybe I could write him as a human in some other ficlets...*considers*

Darnit now we all need a central SC2 RP where we can humanize all of the characters we want. Or a general SC2 RP

[zekkass]

Pardon me, I'm remembering the poll you put up a while back.

I just recieved word from a Landel's mod that DAX is out. However, now I really want to RP him somewhere. And I'd like to do some general SC2 RPing.

Do you have any ideas on when/where/why/etc you were going to work on that SC2 RP idea? I'd like to help set it up, or see it come into existance.

[alanahikarichan]

Damn, DAX would've been about the most awesome thing ever. :O

I have a community for it, actually, but working on the setup and rules and such has been... piecemeal at best, ignored at worst. >.> The last time I built an RP it was forum-based and I was thirteen, and I only just got back into RPing with damned and some freeform stuff with my boy.

But if you want to help me out, I'd love you forever, forserious. |D

[zekkass]

I know. :(

I want to help! I can't say I have much experience, but I can learn. Where do we start?

[alanahikarichan]

Well, ah, rules and setup, I think. |D;; Figuring out how many characters a person can play, how to handle the passage of time, how to apply-- I love everyone here dearly, but I think I'd want some sort of application process so there's no sparkly twelve-year-olds running around in ~*~*~*their own precursor ship*~*~*~ and decimating all in their path with pure speshul-- battle systems... For the last, I actually had the idea of (if two players get into an Epic Space Battle) setting up a computer v. computer Super Melee, each computer with one of the player's "fleets", and letting that be the "battle" (unless the players talked it out and decided on a victor beforehand).

But yes. Rules and movement of time. *Nods* Those are the most important, at the moment.

[zekkass]

Well. I'd think a maximum of two characters per person. Like...a named character such as Tanaka, and an OC. (But named characters can't be guaranteed. We've got so few of them.)

H'm. Time. That is a problem. I don't have a solution yet.

And yes, I like that. The battle system makes sense.

Do you have AIM, or MSN or any variant on that? It'd be easier to talk it out there. (For me, at least.)

[alanahikarichan]

We have such a small fandom, and not everyone is an RPer... I think maybe starting off with two, then every month or so one could apply for a new character? Up to a certain limit, of course. :3 But limiting named characters to one per person is a good idea, and the Captain should probably be an NPC/played by a mod...

Nor do I. And I don't know how we'd deal with travel-- if game time moves at the pace of "real" time, it would take someone playing an Utwig an IRL month to get to Earth, but someone in conversation might only have had time for two or three posts before their "day" ends. We could try instantaneous (or nearly) travel, but then how long would days last for character interaction

[zekkass]

Emailed you! :)

We'll figure this out, no worries.
