Casseus is an ass. He's a deep CN atm. It doesn't feel right just hand waving his acclimation to having to get along with people.

I was referencing this with that Vai post Lyn.
Austin Powers references are still topical, right?! The movie's only 17 years old!
>_>
<_<

It's cool. And amusingly ironic that Jeran of all people is faulting him for having trouble getting along with people. :)

You're welcome. Just, you know, doing my part to save reality. ;-)

The Book of Life was so freaking good!
You have to see it. Especially you, Lyn. :)
I was kinda planning to wait on video for this one...
Which is surprising considering that it seems like it should really be my cup of tea. But for whatever reason the preview just didn't grab me. I was kinda thinking about seeing Dracula Untold even though it will probably suck. The kidlet and I share a love of monster movies. But he'd never go for it if I suggested going to see The Book of Life. I would get the inevitable comparison to one of my favorite movies, The Corpse Bride. He's not sure what's grosser about that, the dead part or the mushy romantic part. :)

I must say I'm amused by jerran's reaction to goo boy (as Dave thinks of him)
I'm trying to decide if Dave should notice...
It would be a pretty high sense motive. He's good at hiding his real feelings. I mean, he even outright lied to Mithros (albeit with a grain of truth hidden in there) because he was too scared that he might lose one of his only friends if he told him the truth. But Dave has seen Jeran's gruff act before, and that same I'm not looking at you right now reaction towards Oneiro, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could pick up on it. :)

Cool,
He does have low level empathy level mind reading too, but he's trying to suppress it now
(He was not last time though, just saying)
And without that turned on his sense motive isn't very high, espically with skeets absent
So I'm going to say he notices something like
huh, he's doing that thing again where he doesn't look at anybody, and his neck gets all tense, huh, must be his reaction to going into hostile territory
Eg: he sees the signs, can't put two and two together, because he's basically asking himself "ok what would be going on that would result in a similar senario for me... Wewe were fighting monsters last time too, that's probably it"

Trying to think of ways to make a high school character...
Humph.
EDIT:
"I'm British. Wait... No, I'm tarka. What's British?"
If Madness placed this thought in Tarka's head, does that mean that Madness is... British.
And Lyn, I will appreciate it if you run with that :)

Settro |

Heh. I can tell easily how awkward he feels.
Mostly becuase I'm eating it right now...
Though, I also don't really care...

Kev does like guys. The funny thing is that, at first, I hadn't intended for what Kevin said to be flirting. I didn't put two and two together that Jeran was hot and Kev was gay until Lyn said that Jeran thought he was flirting. XD
So at this point I'm running with that and Kev is flirting and doesn't know it. XD

Well.. given that we're in highschool, common themes are things like self-doubt, confused about sexuality, lack of control over one's life or powers, etc.
Just remember that while originality and creativity are great, their importance can also be overstated. Don't let the idea that "oh, that's not original" hold you back.
After all, we all have our influences.

Put enough different concepts in the blender that is character creation and it'll com out not tasting of any one thing
On the other hand put too many concepts and you get some weird mush (Dave is borderline this,)

I didn't either FCD,
However, I like that he seems to "only" like cute guys in trouble or in need of rescuing.
In many ways he is the stereotypical hero type...he just prefers dudes to damsels. :)
And I'm a little surprised that more people didn't pick up on Jeran's orientation earlier. A couple people guessed as soon as I mentioned that I had a character who was still in the closet. The scene where he had a total non reaction to carrying a mostly naked attractive girl to the infirmary was a dead giveaway apparently.
I think the fact that more people didn't spot it is kind of a product of writing what you know. I come from a very conservative religious background, and this meant I spent a lot of years in the closet. Like postmark in Narnia kind of in the closet. I know exactly what it's like trying to pass as straight when you're not. The wondering what's wrong with you, the desperate wish for someone, anyone to catch you in all the little lies so you can stop being scared of being caught, the constant fear of rejection....and so on... So I used all of that when I was writing for Jeran. And now you know why he has such a hard time making connections with other people.

I'm curious as to why everyone's acting like this is a remarkable thing.
Though, I am rather surprised you never commented on Settro.
*shrug* Jeran's been in the game for a long time and it never really occurred to me.
Not so much remarkable as it was a surprising. Or at least for me. Of course, I'm notoriously bad at noticing this stuff.

FireclawDrake |

I get what you're saying about Settro but there's also the idea that things can be beautiful without being sexual. Rena's a bad example, but Jeran could easily think Settro is really beautiful without considering him in a sexual (or romantic) light.
Real posts are gonna have to wait for later. Phone typing sucks. :(
