Tuesday DE: Tell Me A Secret No-One Knows

[splash_of_blue]

Sorry for missing yesterday, everyone! My head is a S T A T E right now. Thanks for stepping in, Don! <3

(To avoid the same thing happening again, I will therefore be posting at Stupid O'Clock in the morning instead! GO ME. Look at what a sensible response to this problem this is!)

Hmmmm.

Tell me something about your pup which informs your characterisation of them but which has never explicitly come up in (Milliways) RP.

Comments

Wormwood: Contrary to popular fandom belief they were not born right before the beginning of the game. They've been around for nearly two decades, they just haven't spent much of that time trying to do a lot besides survive in the deep rainforest.

Bastion: I write the omnium that built them as roughly analogous to an abusive parent whom they got away from by luck. An abusive parent that could look through your eyes and puppeteer your body around if they found you convenient or suspicious, but who has a lot of other kids to breathe down the mechanical necks of at the same time.

Wilson: He would be a much better scientist if he stopped lying to himself so much.

Thurlow: The weird magicky stuff in Milliways doesn't faze them because their world has counterparts for most of it. If anything, the weird thing about intelligent, hygienic, sometimes undead rats that are employed carrying food and drink from kitchen to table or assisting in the infirmary is that they don't also speak English and wear tiny clothes.

I feel like Dick and Dinah have been around for ever and everything's come up?

Fives - Wants to be an ARC Trooper explicitly to honour Hevy. He's keen, currently, to volunteer for all missions and learn as many skills as possible in order to get that promotion

Gamora - Is constantly scared. I mean, this isn't news given canon but I've basically played her as an overconfident assassin so far so I guess "she's a total mess" counts as not coming up yet.

Obi-Wan - Well he's new so nothing's come up. The thing I play with constantly is that his affinity with the Force is much more empathic than other people's ability to move stuff with their minds, and I go hard on him as a beastmaster mindtricker rather than a 'just gonna yeet my clone commander up this pipe' kind of telekinetic.

Viv: Her having turned off her emotional subprocessors due to trauma has come up, but I haven't been explicit in how there is emotional bleed over happening. Girl isn't as emotionless as she thinks.

Jess: A recent..okay it's a decade old now...canon development says Jess is empathetic as part of her power set. Not sure how well I've played that but I mean to.

I'll see if any more deep dark secrets want to reveal themselves for my other pups.

Seimei supported Japan’s colonization of Manchuria in the early 20th century, something that he is deeply ashamed of now.

YT’s father was abusive (emotionally and financially, not physically) and this has led her to the belief that long-term romantic relationships (at least straight ones) cannot be a partnership of equals. One partner is always in charge and the other partner is not.

Zuko's been in and out so long that 99% of everything that informs him has come out one way or another.

Zenigata's got a surprising amount of backstory, though it varies. Haven't really touched on. The depression too deeply, but it's there. Oscar's come up. Ami's come up. Toshiko's come up. Recetly, his terrible love affairs came up. His family life, though, hasn't really been touched on too deep - there's a lot I've built there that informs him, but probably won't come up until the right trigger.

Lan Zhan: he's a fresh baby but: his parents and their marriage has not come up and he will likely never bring it up or mention it. Honestly, more stuff will come out of narration then it will from his lips.

<-- one word: Eurus.

She will, though.
