Other comments? Couple things I just want to get out of the way. First, I'm well aware that Lockdown never used the word "meatbag" in canon, but I figure "human" is just too boring a word for him. Also, it's a personal in-joke to a previous RP he was in where he picked up the term.

Also, I've been worried that my Vicente is too boring. Doesn't help that he's so secretive.

.......roflmao, 'meatbag' is a hilarious pick, imo, and goes really well with Lockdown's voice. I wouldn't worry.

Glimpsing at his posts, I don't find Vicente particularly boring. Hmmmm. Maybe throw him around people's way a bit more? From what very little I've learned about his canon, he's quite married to the job - and you did mention his penchant for secrecy too - I imagine those two things can't help with getting him around, but maybe if you motivated it as... his need to get more information for the brotherhood? orz.

Yes, he is quite married to the job. When one is a vampire that has long since lost the ability to blend into normal society, it tends to happen.

I've actually been thinking of doing a small plot where he forms a Brotherhood chapter in the City, if only to give him something to actually do.

I don't know any of your pups' canons, but they all have very distinct voices, so kudos on that.

At least I'm doing something right, then ^^

Well, I have to admit that I stalk Garrus. He once told Alexis (when I had her in the game) his story and I find it very intriguing. I know nothing from his canon other than what he told Alexis that day. But I enjoy reading him.

And Gin Rummy~! He always makes for interesting posts and threads. I've kind of tossed my Jill into a few threads with him and they're always fun too.

Yeah, the Mass Effect universe is interesting like that, from the story to the characters.

Yeah, it's fun playing an idiot wigger who swears a lot ^^

While I haven't been tagging with you, blame me not being Mordin and being a villain atm..., I personally think it's an obligatory and a logical extension for a robotic character to call a human a meatbag. Especially considering of the originator of that term. Oh, HK-47 ♥. If only there was some way to include his quote regarding Love. Yeah. Being off topic. But yeah, meatbag is a completely acceptable term for a robot to use. Just think of the insults that could be used for a robot like Lockdown... It's completely fair play!

Funny, because that's the very character he got the term from in the previous RP. The two even formed something of a relationship. <3 HK-47 to death now, even before I actually got a chance to play the games.

Also, I only said that concern because I have been criticized in the past for taking some liberties with character vocabulary and even just making references to The Fallen just because he wasn't mentioned in that particular continuity.

HK-47 was the greatest part of KOTOR II for me. His line about "love" is both philosophical and hilarious to me. I will always like him because he was such a well crafted character in my mind ( ... )

He's just so gleefully homocidal, and I love him. His player actually had an icon with his quote about "love". It got used a lot the few times he stopped kidding himself about his neurotic crush on Lockdown. Good times.

Especially since Lockdown was only in three episodes out of the entire show. He was pretty much "the creepy bounty hunter who specializes in body horror", though he did get a little more personality revelation in his second episode. Sometimes you have to take what little is revealed and expand upon it.

Crack icons like that are always awesome. I remember two of my more crackier icons got a lot of use when I was playing Tsurugi over here in poly. Crack icons tend to get a lot of use in my mind, simply because they're always relevant at times.

Exactly!
