Does Edgar want children...? A tough question to ask of the poor fuzzball. Edgar has a lot of things going against him. For starters, he has very little grasp of what a normal family is. His biological parents were murdered in cold blood, with his father being a bastard Tia rejected from his sept who physically and emotionally abused his mother, who he had abducted from a Keeper clan. His conception was an error on the part of the father, one he tried to correct as soon as he got the chance (He attempted to throw Edgar overboard). After all this, he was adopted into a Hyur family, with no siblings, and a father who was obsessed with what he saw as a prodigal son, to the point of poisoning and destroying his own relationship, leaving Edgar with practically no family to call his own by the time he was an adult, and therefore little concept of what a family without dysfunction looked like. Only recently have circumstances swung around in his favor, having been adopted into Jajara Jara's clan as a "younger brother" of sorts, and having managed to successfully track down the Keeper clan that his mother hailed from, allowing him to gain some concept of Keeper rites and family structure. Unfortunately, Edgar has a hard time applying it to his actual life, being both a mixed breed and a city-born. He is terribly confused as to which side of him to embrace, let alone how it is applied to a monogamous relationship. And that's assuming it is with another Miqo'te. He swims in and out of relationships, engaging in chance sexual encounters that he cannot truly say if he regrets or not, and seems to assume in a lot of situations that love and sex are tied to such a degree that one instantly assumes the other, despite what logic would often times dictate, Edgar being a very logical man. Combined with social awkwardness inherited from an isolated and, some might say, introverted lifestyle, and it's safe to assume Ed has a hard enough time just getting into a healthy relationship, let alone consummating and having children. But does he want them? To be frank, Edgar is still young, and has only recently come of age where, if he were in a tribal/clannish setting, he'd be competing for breeding rights. So, the urge is definitely there, but when it comes down to Ed's opinion on the matter, he is so terribly confused by the current state of affairs he is not even sure there is room for children in his life. If there is, Ed still fears the premise, because there is simply no way to "test the water" in regards to this, and if he messes it up, he faces not only ruining his own life, but destroying the life of someone else (who also happens to be his own flesh and blood). Ed certainly has a wealth of knowledge to share, and whoever is raised by him would be clever, indeed, but Ed is not sure he'd be the best parent. If the proverb "We are our parent's children" is to be believed, Edgar had terrible parents, and therefore, would be a terrible parent himself.

And then a Thieves Guild, and then an Assassin's Guild...

Aw shucks...

Stream time is over. Thanks to the people who showed up!

Streaming time! TO THE ART CAVE, BATMAN!

Paladin of the Small? I'm going to assume that makes you either a protector of the Lalafell, or a Laladin! Both are AWESOME!

So, I got a PM regarding this thread (simmer down, it's not bad) and without revealing this person's identiyu it's kind of forced me to make this statement to you all: The people I select for the drawings are based on people I admire in the RPC community for a number of reasons; contributions, helpfulness, cheeriness, etc. Asking me to draw your character(s) will not work. Please do not do this. Thank you. EDIT: Allow me to clarify, if you'd like me to draw your characters by request, I would be more than happy to do it through a paid commission, but if that's the case, I'd need to set up the measures to do so. So, if you guys would like to see that in the future, please leave a post stating so!

I apologize for how long its taking to get the next drawing set up. I have a lot on my plate as of recent, and my dad's been doing a lot of at-home work, preventing me from streaming since we share the same office.

If you need justification for people dumping their criminal history when the term Sin was used, understand that the biggest difference between a Sin and a Crime is that the latter is more along the lines of a Lawful term and not a Moral one. As far as I am concerned, they are similar enough in essence that I will consider them legitimate responses. But I digress; I am not about to argue semantics. If we really dug too deep into the differences between the two and what should actually be posted in this thread, it would mutate into a different topic, altogether. If you want to discuss such things, I politely ask you take it out of my thread.

...! WHEN DID YOU WHEN Fuck it. Hai.

I need to counter this with my own voice. *Gets to recording*

There really is. Brutal ones at that.... *buys a nightlight* And I am guilty of shining a bright light on all of them and exposing the hidden malice of this Fantasy world to a public that now needs many security blankets. On the plus side, sales for security blankets have skyrocketed...

I'm going to wait until the expansion, when SE drops the bomb that they aren't fucking dragons.

The reply I got from the other guy? "MINIME!"

Nice to know Koporo's reputation precedes him. Cover your shins. Or don't, because they will break, if Kopo has to hit them a thousand times.

So, in order to allow everyone a chance at giving their opinions, here's a database for all the threads I've made about various roleplay-related topics. Basically, the questions I've asked the community. How Does Your Character React to Physical Touch? How Does Your Character Treat the Sexes? Your Character's Weapons/Artifacts and How They Acquired Them Your Character's Soundtrack NSFW: Sex and Your Character/Roleplay How Does Music Affect Your Roleplay? Character Wounds: Every Scar, a Story What Sins Have Your Characters Committed? If Your Character Could See Their Future Self Your Character as a School Student Eorzean Aetheists and the Believability of Such Characters What's Your Best Game Moment Ever? Your Character's Last Meal Coining Eorzean Terms I'll continue to update this as necessary. If you weren't around during the inception of these threads, I'd love to see your opinions on them, now! :moogle:

No one is perfect. All of us are subject to temptation. In the grand scheme of things, one might say we are puppets on a string, dancing for cruel gods that like to watch us suffer, and the suffering we bring to others. For all the good we do, in the grand book of life each of us carry, at least one page carries a blot, a stain upon its paper, and we can never cleanse it. So tell me, fellow roleplayers, what are the inkblots in your character's book of life? What terrible (or not so terrible) thing pervades their existence? What unforgettable, unforgivable sin bastardizes their soul? Okay, enough waxing poetic. Basically, does your character have something in their past that they did that was totally or even partly wrong, and how do they deal with it? What terrible acts have they committed that they wish to forget? Let me be frank in the commencement; rape, murder, torture, and other unpleasantness are not to be censored. I'm asking you to be blunt, so if someone comes in here and is appalled that yes, someone would put that in their roleplay arc, I ask that that person vacate the thread as opposed to sitting here and ranting about it. So, let us begin! And administration, please keep an eye on this thread, as you have my other ones. I appreciate it.

I found Alice outside of Wonderland. I could not resist. Death by Snu Snu? Death by Snu Snu.

How, specifically, is it making things worse? It is opening up more options for people to get scammed. If an artist says they will take alternative payment, and all the negotiations take place in skype/etc there is no way to enforce payment, there is no social front to go with. The artist could be like "person x never paid me, so I never drew the art" and the other person can be like "I did pay you! Where is my art" And never did pay, but could cause a scene against a particular person to ruin their reputation and there will be no proof to either the artist receiving the money or the person paying it, or the public eye being a pseudo-observer of the agreement These sneaky transactions leave a loootttt of room for scamming. There is a thing we have that prevents that from ever happening. It's called a list. I never gave you art? You paid me? Where's your name on the fucking list, then? Oh, it isn't there? Then there was no transaction, was there? *Watches as argument falls apart* We've been doing that since before the TOS update. And people have been trying to scam us since before the TOS update. You act as though we never had to put up with it before.

I can see it now. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the era of... [align=center]ART PROHIBITION[/align] Where instead of being able to freely exchange our artwork for gil, we must use PM speakeasys and take our artwork underground, using passwords to get in on the deals. Secret art auctions and all that.

Take it to another site.
