RP General Discussion

well, my characters are similar to me, and they are direct when coming to conversations

Ironically that the fox for her canon nature, she is straightforward in the series

and Midna.. she is direct. no argument on that

Ik but

Why do all characters seem to answer those that are not direct with the "I will kill you if you don't start talking straight."

Asking you, when you read what Alvis says here, isn't it kinda obvious what he's getting at?

"You were saved by an organization known as the ACO from another known as Organization XIII, correct?" Alvis asked simply as he stood upright again.

Alvis simply put one hand on his hip as he turned his head in the opposite direction. What no one would know was that he was looking in the direction that the mysterious man that was quite some distance away still from the labs. "I'm affiliated with no one in particular. I'm merely here to provide information to those that need it." He then looked back to the group. "Do you know what 'Anti' means?"

Alvis echoed what Jack had said last about Anti. "To be opposed to or against an idea, policy, or activity. To be opposed to certain aspects that are true. For Example, one could be opposed to or against having characters using their abilities to meddle with the natural bounds of reality and the laws of society....but that's what SCAE is for, is it not?" Alvis paused slightly after that last phrase. His tone emphasized the example and 'that's what SCAE is for.'

"As for my affiliation, you could say that I'm affiliated with characters," Alvis glanced over to Cole and Flandre, "...much like yourselves."

Alvis merely chuckled, disregarding Jack's threat. "Tell me: do you know what ACO stands for? And do you know what SCAE stands for? And finally, do you know the function of both as organizations?" He looked as though waiting for them to make all the necessary connections on the way he was bringing up his points.

Alvis simply closed his eyes and shook his head. "ACO, Anti Character Organization. An Organization opposed to Characters' disruption of the natural balance of the world. SCAE, Special Character Apprehension and Elimination. An Organization tasked with the Apprehension and Elimination of "Special" Characters that disrupt the peace." Alvis now looked up at Jack. "If something is corrupt, how can you tell?"

Surrounding Alvis, although invisible to the naked eye at the moment, was a spherical barrier of orange energy. No Physical attack could move it or pass through it.

When jack struck the shield, it now became visible as orange floating hexagons floating around Alvis as a sphere, which then faded again to invisibility.
Alvis remained un-phased and simply continued. "But would it be that simple?"

Alvis began to laugh slightly to himself, the barrier remained during every blow. "You should reconsider what you are looking for. Perhaps looking at things in a different light will reveal truths you overlooked. Also, if ACO is what you think them to be, why would they release Cole and Flandre? Perhaps there is something that you are also overlooking? Something that ACO gave them? Or perhaps something that would achieve their true goals? Tell me... Cole... Flandre.... after you took that 'medicine' do you feel any different? Weaker, perhaps?"

Alvis looked at Jack with a look that would convey a subtle wisdom as though a wise man just told a fool the answers to the world. "If you were paying attention to what I just said, you would have the information you need. You must find your own path forward. I can only guide." He then turned around and began to walk out, but not before one last word. "There is a series of events unfolding that could lead to the destruction of all or the peace which all seek. I would take what I told you, and look closely at what was brought to question. You'll be surprised at what you can find. However, I fear for the girl and boy. I would recommend checking for any traces of ACO's handiwork..." And with that he smiled lightly and continued on his way towards where Six was.

well, those are pretty straightforward conversations, I don´t see the problem, he is actually speaking in a normal way

Back from dinner.

@ Kristia

butthenthecharacterswanttokillhimbecauseheisn'tbeingdirect.

I mean, I know we can see what he's saying...so why do we have to portray our characters...stupider? ( =w=)

i don´t think most are dumb, maybe it is on their personalities?

take for example Mara from EG, she can withstand most stuff, but rub it too much and it will irritate her

maybe that is the reason?

by the way, why do you right without putting space? the key has some malfunction?

becauseIdothissometimeswhenIwanttosimulatemumbling.

*cough*

and maybe so...but...it almost is begging Alvis to show up later when everything he just warned of comes to pass and he just shows up to say in the most elaborate way possible "I told you so."

@Cucoo

I wouldn't say that their stupid. You insult us by saying that. It's very clear what they say, it's just that you have no idea how Jack acts.

Jack is the kind of person that expects direct answers, such as "Yes", "No", "The ACO did something bad to Cole and Flandre". When alvis was more direct at the end, Jack was less angry and simply annoyed by Alvis.

Basically, he doesn't like BSing. He is incredibly straighforward, and if you don't do as he says, he will quickly get angry with you. He is, to be blunt, a psycho. His armor is almost a direct mirror to his soul, hence why he customized it to look like that. He's supposed to be on that fine line between villain and good guy, so antihero that people question his morality.

You see, many SPARTANs expect you to give them direct answers with no BS. In the military, they are given direct answers because it takes less time and is more efficient. Doing otherwise means that you are wasting their time. If Alvis talked with Isaac, Isaac would be more lenient, but because you are dealing with SPARTANs, you are going to quickly aggravate them. They are more strict and are no-nonsense. They expect you to tell them the facts without being cryptic, just like how they would expect someone from the military to answer them.

Basically, Jack is a psycho with a short fuse, and if you piss him off, he will hurt you. SPARTANs expect you to answer them in the plainest way possible because of efficiency, and it annoys them when you break away from that, due to their training.

@ S1

IwasspecificallytryingtosaythatIfeellikewe'reholdingthembackandthusmakingthemstupid.

I understand military, but that's not an excuse for being...dense.

Even Cole was being...dense.

I feel like we're purposely holding back our characters intelligence by making them way too dense.

dense was the word I was looking for.

hm.. nah

Im not going to get into this argument

time to continue readying skyrim fanfiction while waiting
