Hello everybody! by Quincy Jones on 2017-11-01 02:00:00 UTC Reply

So apparently I was supposed to come introduce myself on here about a week ago when I first crash-landed on the PPC Discord server. XD Whoopsie daisy! Hi, I'm Quincy. *giggles nervously*

Eyyy newbie! by twistedwindowpane on 2017-11-04 21:40:00 UTC Reply

Hey Quincy! Since I don't frequent the Discord server, I don't know as much about you as I would if I did. So anyway! What brought you here? What are your fandoms and/or other interests? Do you have any OCs or potential agents? I'm interested to know!

As for me, I'm Twistey, a chaotic goodish lightly-used-bie who has too many ideas for stories and whatnot and not enough time to do all of them. I am very easily dragged into fandoms, but currently my biggest one would have to be Wolfenstein 3D (and to some extent, anything else iD Software did in the 90s.) I tend to be more skilled in the character aspects of stories rather than the plots themselves, but I hope to get better.

Anyway, for your newbie gift, here is a random pile of blueish metal, straight from Castle Wolfenstein. Do whatever you wish with it!

Hello, Twistey! It's nice to meet you! by Quincy Jones on 2017-11-05 20:41:00 UTC Reply

Thanks for the welcome! Okay. Questions in linear order:

What brought me here was actually a friend of mine who's been a fan of this place since forever. They pointed me in the direction of the Wiki, which I then proceeded to devour. Cue me, six months later, finally discovering the page on which the Discord server lay, and gathering enough courage to click on it, where I discovered perhaps the most eclectic group of awesome people I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. It's been a fun couple of weeks.

My fandoms and interests are a REALLY long story. I know most of the basics- Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings (my first ever fandom), the Silmarillion, the Hobbit, Harry Potter, PJO... there's quite a lot of them, actually. These are just the ones that come to mind right now XD. As for other interests... I'm currently working on an original novel, which has put a bit of a damper on my media consumption, although Voltron has still managed to capture my heart. I love skiing and cold weather (ironic since I live in the DEEP SOUTH of America), Halloween and Christmas, and other people. (Seriously, people are great.)

As for OCs and potential agents... Since the dawn of time, I've had this one character named Celestar, who is basically a giant goofball, and may have a few screws loose. He's... not really from any fandom, but I feel like he suits the theme of the PPC pretty well, what with his special brand of hilarious idiocy.

Also, thanks for the blue metal! *forges it into a ball-and-chain morningstar* I'm not a fan of Wolfenstein myself- yet- but I do like one of the soundtracks. And I know what you mean about having too many ideas. I never ever have time, either.

Again, thank you very much for the warm welcome! I enthusiastically look forward to getting to know everyone here better, and perhaps even working with them in the future. I think we'll do great things together.

Interesting! by twistedwindowpane on 2017-11-11 21:52:00 UTC Reply
1. Oh cool, you were recruited by a friend! I've been looking to recruit people for a while, but have not succeeded yet...
  
  2. Hehe, nice! Those are indeed the basics, I guess! Hmm, what's that original novel about? Sounds interesting.
  
  3. It's totally fine that Celestar isn't from any fandom! Sounds like he does fit the PPC very well, but would work even better if he had a partner who was a lot more serious than him or something. (By the way, don't ever change his name. The name "Celestar" sounds really epic and LotR-esque, and given his personality, it's also lovably ironic as a result.)
  
  4. Ooh! Which game's soundtrack are you a fan of? (Probably something from Return to Castle Wolfenstein onwards, given how low-bit music is just a little harder to appreciate...) If you're planning on joining the fandom, The Gaming Historian has a great video series on YouTube about the history of the franchise, explaining each of the games, and it's a good resource for finding out where to start. I recommend finding an online emulator (or a downloadable emulator, your choice) of Wolfenstein 3D and playing that one first, since it'll help boost your appreciation for all the other ones. I personally know that 3d.wolfenstein.com/ is the official one, and wolf3d.atw.hu/ is the one I've been using and it comes with the Spear of Destiny DLC. But be forewarned that there are some pretty hard bosses, even on the easiest difficulty. I should probably stop rambling about Wolfenstein now...

Alright. Your format works a lot better, so I'm just gonna... *yoink* :D

1. Aww. That happens to me, too.

2. Oh boy oh boy! Twistey, if you don't want to hear me ramble on for ages about it, best to steer clear of asking me about my novel. XD Seriously though, there is no end to the ramble. Suffice it to say that it's currently about Celestar and his merry band of on-the-way recruits chasing down his older brother, who is actually his creepy but loving adoptive older vampire brother. The plan is to save him first, and then continue on to this city in the middle of enemy territory and break the husband of one of Celestar's recruits out of jail. This is a nearly insurmountable task. Celestar is doing it anyways.

3. Yay! I think my other agent is going to be this guy named Vaughan, who is either a total stickler for protocol or a bad boy who gets the job done ASAP. Either way, he will pull his hair out at young Celestar's antics.

4. So, in my previous reply to your message, I may have said something similar to "I don't really know much about the game." I'm going to edit that to: "I know literally nothing about the game(s, apparently) except it contains Nazis." My favorite song is a remixed version of "Boom Boom Boom," which, as I understand it, is a song within the game? *confuzzled expression, shrug* Heh. Thanks for the advice, though! If, by some miracle, time for a new game pops into my life, I will check it out for sure.

Haha! Sorry, but "*yoink*" made me think of a song. by twistedwindowpane on 2017-11-12 19:45:00 UTC Reply

(Yeah, on YouTube there's this great electronic music composer and game developer! known as SYRSA, and he(?) made a great song that has been renamed to Daunter, but was originally called Yonk. I guess it's because he was annoyed that the song became heavily associated with the Team Fortress 2 fandom? Or that a remix of the song that didn't indicate that it was a remix got confused with the original and was sometimes more popular than his version? Anyway.)

2. Hah, that sounds pretty fun.

3. You're getting it! Double comedy!

4. Oh ho ho do I have a lot to teach you! I'm not familiar with Boom Boom Boom, so I'm probably thinking it's from Wolfenstein The New Order. Anyway, enjoy!

I think I'll pick... hmm... a nice royal blue.

Nice to meet you, Hardric! I hope so, too. From what I see so far, this is going to be great fun!

I quite like popcorn, actually. Esp. the buttered varieties. Mm.

Hallo Quincy! How are you doing?

Take a chainsword and a mug of Klatchian Coffee. Relax.

Hiya, Thoth! by Quincy Jones on 2017-11-01 18:17:00 UTC Reply

Thanks very much for the chainsword & coffee. *slurps coffee* I wonder what it says about me that two years into high school, I already have a caffeine addiction?

Hiya! by RemnantShadow on 2017-11-01 05:51:00 UTC Reply

Hi newbie! Here, have a very generic weapon; it could be anything you want it to be, within reasonable limits of course.

Just out of curiosity, what fandoms are you part of?

Ooh. Fandoms. by Anonymous on 2017-11-01 18:12:00 UTC Reply

First off: *accepts the Generic Weapon: it turns into a glaive* Thank you very much!

Ah, fandoms. Fun places to be, usually. I'm an avid Death Note fan, I watch a little bit of Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings and Dragon Age were my literal childhood (I grew up on those stories), I know Percy Jackson pretty well, and... there's more, I'm just not thinking of them XD. Oh, and Voltron.

Oooh! by RemnantShadow on 2017-11-02 03:12:00 UTC Reply

I'm a huge manga fan and I really loved death note. I'm not that into Lord of the Rings (please don't kill me) but I did play dragon age a little bit. Since you liked death note, I highly recommend Code Geass and No Game No Life if you haven't watched them. They both have different premises, and No Game No Life is a lot less serious, but I think you would really enjoy them.

Thanks very much for the rec! by Quincy Jones on 2017-11-02 14:32:00 UTC Reply

By the way, have you seen Death Parade? It's quite good, if a bit dark.

Definitely have by RemnantShadow on 2017-11-03 21:01:00 UTC Reply

I loved death parade! It isn't really that dark in my opinion, but I guess I am a bit desensitized.

Now that I am beginning to see your preferences, I would also recommend Darker than Black, Ajin, Black Lagoon, Serial Experiments Lain, Canaan, and Psycho-pass.

AW DUDE PSYCHO-PASS by Quincy Jones on 2017-11-05 20:48:00 UTC Reply

That is my actual favorite thing. The soundtrack is so GOOD and the villain is SO COMPELLING

I mean he's in the wrong here but STILL

and there's so many moral QUESTIONS

Yeah I really liked it too. by RemnantShadow on 2017-11-07 01:38:00 UTC Reply

But, I wouldn't call it my favourite. I have trouble deciding which is actually my favourite out of everything I have watched.
