Dogberry

The Wire is one of my favorite shows of all time. I've always wanted to take Dogberry into a kind of Frank Sobotka direction, particularly involved in labor, and having the lives and livelihoods of others to consider in every decision he makes. It sounds like you're on Season 1, so I won't go into any detail. Sobotka doesn't show up until Season 2.

...B...Bryyyyn!! :c And this is the maiden voyage of the good ship Brynhilde Wolf as it glides majestically through Dogberry Bay.

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons when I was twelve. It was actually an after school club with one of my teachers. My parents didn't approve, so I had to be super sneaky about it. After a while, they were cool with it. I managed to convince them that it wasn't satanic, and that there were much more dangerous things I could be doing. Of course, I didn't tell them that by that time I had moved on to Vampire: the Masquerade, buuuut... well they found out eventually anyway. Haha! To this day I play tabletop RPGs every chance I get. My first online RP was in AOL. I was actually in a group centered around RPing in the SWAT Kats universe. Ah, man, the SK AOL RPG. From there I dabbled in all kind of other stuff. Online V:tM, some Rhydin chats. Eventually I got into MMO's and RP'd in Earth and Beyond and FFXI.

Who cares about the color of the dress when it's just going to end up on my bedroom floor?

Menelwen and Dogberry are definitely an action couple. And what they lack in depth perception they make up for in passion. And this about sums up Iskierka's stance on relationships.

Not with that attitude, bucko! OK, so I guess I should contribute. I do know PLENTY of women who always play men. My wife will very seldom play a female character. She just seems to get more emotionally invested in her male characters than her female ones. Couldn't say why, she just does. OOGH WANT TO TRY THIS SO BAD - I just don't want to tank the character I've worked on for several months or make alt that has to MSQ again :c I'm going thought this with Iskierka. I love the character so much, but OH GOD doing MSQ, and then after that getting into the post 50 content all the way through the coils and such... it's daunting. I'm taking it nice and slow with her, but I do want all the shiny things for her that I have on Dogberry. Oh, I didn't know you play Iskierka. We used to be in FC together o/ \o. Love that character concept, by the way. Oh look, I have derailed my own thread. Cool! Thank you! I could actually go into why I made Iskierka a woman rather than a man. Mostly it has to do with empathy, and how the things that were done to her seem all the more egregious, but how she deals with it seems much stronger. The tragedy isn't that she was scarred and her beauty taken from her, it's that her identity was taken and how she wears the mask specifically to stand out. Even with her face essentially taken from her, she refuses to be faceless. Though that concept comes from a much different place that gender has very little to do with. I might write something about that eventually, because there's a lot I have to say on the matter.

Be tranquil as a forest, but on fire within. Once you reach your center you will surely win.

The most common explanation I see in other forums whenever this is brought up is "Well, if I have to stare at an avatar's ass for 6 hours every night, I might as well make it an attractive one." Seems like a poor excuse, really. Surely if someone is comfortable with their sexuality then they'd have no issue staring at a guy in a video-game? Unless someone zooms in really close and frequently they won't be staring at their character's rear anyway. Never underestimate just how insecure some people are.

Dogberry folded the paper, done with the article. The Drowning Wench was quiet at the moment. And once he had been told to keep his nose out of it, he'd be sure to defy his orders and investigate anyway. He placed a stack of gil on the table and rolled the paper up tight. Maybe he'd get lucky and get to thwap a violent drunk with it. He put on his hat and made a note to inquire about the murders at Maelstrom Headquarters. And once he had been told to keep his nose out of it, he'd be sure to defy his orders and investigate anyway.

So close-minded about the male figure! It's a matter of preference. And besides, not everyone can look like Dogberry.

More blossom jewelry for Dogberry! It goes so well with his pink shirt! Now he'll have earrings and a necklace to match!

For the last couple of days I've been trying to picture Iskierka's singing voice. I gave her a surprisingly deep, kind of raspy voice, but one that can be incredibly powerful. So who else but Siouxsie Sioux? [video=youtube]

Did someone say the 90's? It isn't the 90's without some ska! [video=youtube]

You know Godbert Manderville, too? I wanna buy you a drink!

So you ended up turning the gear you were using into materia? Because I've done that, too. Twice.

This is usually done as a tribute to Tetsuya Nomura.

Oh man, I totally empathize. Hang tough until you can get it fixed. We'll be here when you return. In the meantime, you can couch surf here on the forums, it's cool! I hope you can get something worked out quickly!

I actively worship Dalamud!

Or on ICE!

Did I ever tell you about the time Godbert Manderville went hunting? He decides he's going to hunt down all four of the Banana Splits! He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives, except Fleagle!
