Just to let you know I finally have 'em ready for evaluation~
Falchion
Rasheeda bint Giza
Feedback is much appreciated for both of them~ :) And I'll get started the control prompt for the two of them sometime this weekend too!
It's the control prompt, for when Rasheeda transfers to Floaters! If you want to beta-read it, feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to send you the link~ :)
Minor gripes aside on how Rasheeda bint Giza should have an Ancient Egyptian name instead of an Arabic name (I.E. "(something) sat Giza", as "Sat" is "Daughter" or "Daughter of" in Ancient Egyptian), these have turned out pretty well.
Just as an aside, when I read that Rasheeda's trigger in a fic is "excessive, unwarranted violence, along with any deplorable and/or explicit variants thereof", two pony fics came to mind, probably a mark of how long I've been looking at the OOC-and-grimdark-as-flapjacks genre of badfic as applied to MLP. Warning: both of them are rated NSFW and NSFB for combined rape and gore. Yes, I said both. The second one links to an MST because I can't find the original page I found it on.
I wonder if one of them could end up the one that you and I collaborate on. (Mainly, I want to see Rasheeda's reaction, but still.)
Rasheeda sat Giza, while more accurate, just sounds weirder to me, so I'll stand by Rasheeda bint Giza for now. I gave her a modern name because she'd probably have changed her nomenclature to suit the altered customs over the years, such as how Egyptian names adapted a more Middle Eastern dialect recently.
Funny you should mention Sweet Apple Massacre - I actually had that exact fic in mind when writing her backstory. I do have someone in mind for Rasheeda's former partner, and if I can claim that fic in the future, maybe I could write a sporking of it as a "flashback episode" in which her former partner explains the events that led to her transferring to Floaters.
For our collab, though, I was actually thinking of something with chapters, rather than a one-off which I feel could be handled reasonably well by just one team. Missions involving two teams tend to be pretty lengthy based on what I've been reading...
I guess it makes sense that Rasheeda would modernize her name. And I do believe I know a +%chapter &~•π fic that-+=;@

Sorry about that. *long stare at punctuation jar* Anyways, I do believe I remember a fic about Rainbow Dash warping through parallel universes or something like that, I'll investigate later today...
That should be a period or exclamation mark.
*glances to his jar of punctuation*
Have you guys been playing tricks on me again?
I especially liked your doodle of Rasheeda yelling at Falchion. Who knew Skarmory could make human O_O faces? XD
The mental image of that one-sided argument was too funny to ignore. ;P
Related fun fact: Falchion is actually the Skarmory that Seychelles gave to me as a welcoming gift! Thanks, man! I figured that an author persona for the PPC would be the same species as in my username, so...
...In Rasheeda's bio, you mention her originally in DIA and going into a fic with a partner. Since she's seen some action, I'm going to assume she was either Patrol or Special Response. In which branch was she serving in?
If she was in a 'fic, then she was SR on an agent rescue/assistance mission; Patrol officers usually don't leave HQ. Is this the case?
I'd probably have her trying to rescue an unfortunate agent or two from the badfic in question along with her partner, only for everyone else to get maimed when she loses control. Don't know whether she'd accidentally kill the agent(s) she was intending to rescue, though, that may be a bit too much...
Maybe one left as a brain in a jar... okay maybe that's a bit much as well...
