Marcy

Savo asks the burning questions. I don't think I can link the current (WIP) set list here due to profanities, but a little bird told me something has been posted over there.

See, and Marcellain is an etrepreneur at heart. He's somehow got strong-armed into using Orchestrions to start producing an indie label. Please look forward to it.

...damn, now I need to check in on my cats. I have a Western styled abode and make them do battle. Bandit is fave.

Only if I can dress Marcy up as a Leprechaun. (Sign me up!)

Snagging a spot in advance! I am mid-writing something for the Bard's competition, and I feel like it fits this a little better. Thanks for hosting it! Character Name: Marcellain Chevallier Poem Name: Crows Poem text: http://marcellain.tumblr.com/post/140825962954/

A singular sad elv and an announcement! Sketch commissions are now open. See the pricing in the post above. I will have a limited number of slots per month/week, but these may change.

What a wonderful show! Thanks so much for having me, and extra-big thanks to Nathan and Ciel for letting us break the new stage in. Everyone did so well. Sorry for not sticking around after! Here's hoping I will meet more of you next time. :love:

Oh. My. I think the gauntlet just got thrown down.

I still kind of wish you could compose your own tunes on it, a-la Animal Crossing. But personally, I want to get the Waking Sands theme, deck out a small house as the Waking Sands entrance, and linkpearl my friends to meet me at the solar until I don't have any.

It's been a little under a month, and we already have a solid core! I am so pleased to see the channel active and supportive of each other. The Valentione's Telegrams madness is almost over, and it was some of the funnest and most rewarding RP I have done so far. Thanks, friends. More and more venues are opening up, and I will start using this space for announcements. The WAYFARERS are looking for performers this Friday, around 7PM CST. Nathan & co are throwing together A Show of Hearts on the 28th, and I'm hoping to meet even more of you there! Finally, this is extremely relevant to our interests: The Last Bard Standing. Come get that delicious publicity, guys.

In a dramatic twist: NOT elves. But I am still salty about the female Au Ra designs. Probably gonna doodle more. NSFW for lizard nudity

Damien Rice's music and voice inspired a lot of Marcy -- his voice is a bit scratchy, maybe a touch more smoked, but this is the closest I've found without making another Lana Del Rey joke. [video=youtube]

Marcy will probably carry on whatever he was doing casually and like nothing happened. He'll be dying inside, but should anyone point the malfunction out, will do everything to make the person in question embarrassed to the point of dropping it and probably buying him clothes. He's normally wearing enough layers to cover anything, at any time, though. So short of getting them set on fire...

Have you checked these forums yet? Monocular vision isn't a death sentence, though skills reliant on high depth perception, like archery, are going to be difficult, but people drive just fine. To quote, "Outside of about 20 feet, everybody sees the world as if they only had one eye." http://www.losteye.com/driving.htm If the character was a sharpshooter, chances are his healthy eye is still excellent. How well he can still shoot will depend on their experience because a lot of archery is reliant on muscle memory and ability to make decisions quickly. He will probably need to wear a patch. What you are describing is a torn iris and an impacted lens. Keep in mind that Bowie had multiple operations on his injured eye, so chances are it won't look as pretty (tagging for eye gore). Not being able to regulate the amount of light entering the eye for prolonged periods of time will also cause undue stain on the retina and the optic nerve. Again, consider a patch. Maybe have him shop around for healers with ideas? I don't play one, but there are plenty of people interested in this kind of thing that probably have even better suggestions.

It really depends on what's in store for the character and the characters they are RPing with, IMO. Some things are just not fun to drag out, and can become an annoying roadblock instead of an interesting story point. Sometimes an injury is unplanned and unmitigated -- I have and will write off injuries to my character that have been done without consent, or presented poorly. This does not seem like the case here, OP is just looking for pointers. While we are at it, getting a punctured lung with or without magical healing and no antibiotics has a high risk of infection -- this is the real killer of medieval battlefields, many weapons were specifically designed to make nastier wounds that will be harder to heal and seal, and will therefore fester more quickly. Triangles! The puncture from this would bleed out in minutes if not plugged, and pulling the flesh back together to mend will require something like peat moss to keep pressure. Not sanitary. Playing out recovery RP can be a lot of fun, I write low-magic characters that are averse to most magical healing because I enjoy the medical/anatomical aspect of it combined with the setting's specific parameters. I'd say if you have someone willing to work through the injury with you, it's worth stretching for the potential RP, if not it's not a crime to skip it unless you have specific developments in mind.

The answer really boils down to: what are you looking to get out of this injury, story-wise? Are you down to RP out a slow recovery and life-long trauma, or do you want that just-fixed band-aid? There's a lot of room to consider both physical and psychological consequences (something most people don't think about -- a person relying on their body to make a living IS going to be devastated and shocked by a potentially crippling injury). Neither are actually "bad" or right, this is a high-magic fantasy setting. There are good suggestions for how to approach this already! Just remember that you aren't locked into one possibility, and RP is not "serious" writing, we need to offer wiggle room for future plots and not every injury needs to lead to massive character development or take your character out of commission. Talk to the healer, too! Writing healers is often a thankless job, support your support class and communicate about how they imagine the injury developing and recovering.

Thank you so much again!! I interrupt this program with an important message about Dee's thighs. Slightly NSFW i cannot believe i did the keyhole bra thing wait yes i can

I've been drowning in work things for the past month, but this was a nice break from them! My part of the Valentione's art exchange over on Tumblr for Sylbfohc.

It's been a weird day. [video=youtube] On the note of radios: http://chillstep.info/

I am in, naturally! Put Marcy up for the performers list.

Reviving this because it's a quality thread, and the question of walk-up RP and motivations has come up a lot in chats and LS lately. Somehow we forget how important CHARACTER HOOKS are when engaging in collaborative writing! Why Marcy would approach you: 1. You look like you have money. He hates paying for his own things, and lives almost entirely off others' pockets. Combined with an avid entrepreneurship streak and his ability to look like a sad, lost puppy at a moment's notice, this strategy is almost flawless. 2. You look like a musician. Even if you're tweaking your friend's lute and squeezing out the intro chords to Smoke on Water over and over, he is excited about anything related to music or poetry. Genuinely. 3. You have a really nice or a really ridiculous hat. Marcy's sense of fashion is eclectic at best, but hats are a source of every Bard's power, and he is determined to Collect Them All. Same goes for other strange fashion choices. 4. You are a Roegadyn woman. Somewhere between morbid fascination and a deep bias for women that look like they can break him in half, Marcy is yet to be disappointed. 5. You are pro-Syndicate, pro-profit, pro-slave labor and exploitation of any sort and announce it. Marcy will fight you, and lose. -------------------------------------------- When approached he will respond to: 1. Someone in immediate distress. Marcy will, and has, Disney prince all over them. He feels a burning and strong duty to carry a handkerchief on him at all times, and will interrupt the most important conversations to try and lift another's spirits. Even if they deeply do not want it. 2. Someone claiming to be a past/current fan. He's extremely dedicated to upkeeping a good public persona, and will sign your chest, bicep, and panties. He will shake your hand and hold your first born. You have five minutes. 3. A proposition of a gig, venue, or patronage contact. Boy's gotta eat and his only source of income is singing -- this job relies on good networking, and business always takes priority. 4. A concerned and vaguely threatening authority figure. Bonus points for Brass Blade or Ishgardian Knight armor. He will do his best to prove that Marcy did Nothing Wrong. 5. You tell him you will feed him. He'll probably follow you home and stay there for as long as he's tolerated.

Oh no oh no that lingerie set is really cute :c (Sorry, Odette)

Thanks for putting up the thread! It's been very helpful, and I hope people continue to share resources. Looking forward to seeing you post some art now!

Heyyy these are awesome! That lineart must take AGES. Do you mind sharing how you handled the ropes/chains on that last piece?

Nothing derpy, if anything that is pretty DOPE (I'll show myself out) Definitely missing /smoke emotes, but the chance of that passing through NA's censoring laws is slim. I think the only game that DID have smokes was The Secret World, but they can get away with it with an M rating. Alas! You can smoke with us cool kids behind bleachers, though.
