Given that I'm already in another game, I hate to take a spot away from someone who doesn't have a chance to play at all. However, if you need a ranged fighter, I'd be happy to fill that spot. I'd also appreciate being able to spectate.

Character: Arannel - TN Elf fighter (archer), likely to multiclass into wizard and eventually go Arcane Archer.

Skype is the easiest way to get hold of me, since I can access it on my phone. My Skype name is Voyd211, if you want to discuss PF things.

So, I'm planning on dipping my toes back into the whole mission writing thing (surprise, surprise, RL took up most of my time the last two years, but I'm finally done with my second degree!). I found a suitably bad romance!fic in the Star Wars continuum to mission, but I've got a bit of a logistical problem:

Darth Vader has been replaced by, of all things, a creeper!vampire!Anakin who has no need of the suit (because there was a random vampire on Mustafar of all places that turned him before Obi-wan got slice-happy with his 'saber), which means canon!Vader will need to be neuralyzed. However, this is set roughly around A New Hope as far as I can tell, which means canon!Vader will have his suit, and thus filters on his eyes (I'm assuming the lenses on his mask work as polarizing filters, much like sunglasses, but IDK). Also, I'm not sure if Force abilities would work on him either.

Any suggestions would be great, especially if they're canon-appropriate. Thanks!

I did the same thing when Matt posted another character generator, going through Google Photos, and there was no problem this though.

Now, Nesh, what did you do to post your own pictures? I'm pretty sure your system is way more efficient than the one I used.

"What's a U.S.? Australia? Is that place dangerous like the Grimm-infested subway tunnels? I don't know much about your world, remember..."

"I'll go get us some food while you two are talking," Randa said, getting up and going to the bar.

"She's pretty much right. I mean, we've got a wide variety of climates and cultures, but most well-written word worlds do, too. Um, lots of different animals, most of which aren't dangerous. Hmmm . . . Looks like my country's about to get a sucky president—I hope other versions of the U.S. had better options, this election." He furrowed his brow. "Australia has fire tornadoes, apparently? Although I guess other versions of Australia must get those, too." He shrugged.

Before Marvin could finish his cider, a young man with rainbow-colored hair and a light blue pilot's jacket joined the two of them. His magenta eyes twinkled with delight, his pointed teeth (pointed teeth?!) bared in an excited grin.

"Could it be? Could it really be THE Marvin and Printworthy?! It is! OmigoshomigoshomigoshomigoshomigoshOMIGOSH! Hiiiii, nice to seeya! Rayner Blitzkreig, DMS, it's an honor!"

"Is it, really?" A tall, dark-haired young woman, bound in chains of light with a large book chained to her ankle, had also joined them. The strangest thing about her wasn't the horns on her shoulders, or the leather wings on her back, or her reptilian tail. No, it was the fact that her severed head was currently balanced, upside-down, on top of the stump of her neck.

"What's so significant about these two, really?" asked E.V.L. "They're just agents."

"Just agents? The All-Purpose Department, My Little Pony Division? They buckin' founded that division!" He turned back to the two of them. "Sorry 'bout that, guys. My partner's as rude as Tartarus, and I can't really change that no matter how hard I try."

"What, no mention of all those trips to FicPsych?" E.V.L. smirked.

"Those. Don't. Count. Anyway... Can we sit here? We were hopin' to talk to you two. Assuming you can put up with my nasty excuse of a partner, that is!"

"Oh, shut it, Pony Boy."

(OOC: Jumper, if you're available to co-write with anyone, I'd love to write a mission with you! I even have a fic on the Claimed list for us to use, if you're interested! :D)

Des was making calming noises, aimed at an obviously traumatised Librarian. "Shh, Lump, it's fine, we're not gonna do that again," he said, "promise."
The Librarian just shook his head. "Madness, I say. Madness."
Des sighed and got up. "Tell you what - I'll get you some Cointreau and a bite to eat, aright? You look like you need it."
The Librarian mumbled something, and Des made his way toward the bar proper.

Shamrock grinned. "You know how it is. Saving the multiverse doesn't leave you with much downtime. But I'd like to hear more about World One! Randa's always 'Oh, there's nothing interesting to say' but I don't believe it."

"You haven't watched your own world's show? Why not? I wish my world had unique movies and novels about it." He solidly drummed his fingers into the tabletop. "Trouble is, pretty much everything that's happened in World One has happened in another version of Earth, too. Mine doesn't have any stories unique too itself."

Meanwhile, Vania was leaned against the edge of the table, delicately slipping shards of plate into the waistline of her pants.

Shamrock made a rocking motion with her hand. "We've got, like, you know, walls and stuff, to keep them out, but that doesn't always work. There were a couple of times somebody deliberately let Grimm into the city—"

"Cinder Fall," Randa put in.

"Yeah, her, sorry, I haven't seen the show that much. Anyway, yeah," Shamrock said. She was now drumming her fingers on the table in a staccato rhythm. "I was in the middle of fighting a Nevermore that was attacking Beacon when I fell into HQ. Let me tell you, that was confusing!"

I didn't even know you could hotlink images from anything on Google, but assuming you can, there's probably something equivalent to the 'publish to the web' or 'share with anyone' options on GDocs.

hS

((Am I the only one who has been curious about the way Randa reacted to the different... events in the life of her friend and what she has done for the two last years?))

"As for your recommendation, I'll be sure to press the advantage every time I can for you."

"Well, you could give it a try. I began watching the series not so lnog ago, and I admit it is pretty interesting, although I started with the movies, and well, one of them, Sunset Shimmer, is my favorite one," Richard said to Venus.

"I... could agree with that," Marina said. "At least the evolution of her situation felt rather realistic."

What in seven mountains is a Department of Inaccuracies? I don't... have they gone and replaced us or something? Let me check my clock...

... apparently this is the future? Huh; doesn't look any different. I guess I'm not supposed to be here, then. Carry on.

But there's still no such thing as the Department of Internal Operations.

On right-clicking and choosing "show image" I’m asked to login to my brand-new Google account, but when I do that, I still don’t see ponies, just something like a no-entry sign.

HG

The (Uncanonical) Department of Inaccuracies exists ( only for the badfic games ) to PPC the PPC. It drafts agents from other departments on an as-needed basis to send them into faulty mission reports. Since Agent doctorlit of the Bad Role-play Department keeps being drafted for such missions, the department apparently exists in canon, too :-)

HG

Seen your name mentioned a few times, glad to see you've rejoined our ranks.
Here, take this Replica Holocron and a miniature Great Eagle as welcome back gifts.

Oh, and while I currently do not have any agents, should the occasion ever arise that I do, you are more than welcome to use them.

I'm sorry I couldn't work it out on my own.

—doctorlit

I know this may seem silly, since the majority of these guys haven't appeared anywhere in print yet, but they are very much a part of my PPC headspace. Consider this a very lame, half-baked teaser.

Agent Harry (formerly named Chuck) is part of the Disturbing Acts of Violence Department.
Their main fandoms are Farscape, Star Wars, and Mass Effect, but they keep getting missions into Protectors of the Plot Continuum (wait, what?).
A boomerang is their preferred weapon.
Fire is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Harry is infamous for telling lewd jokes to the Flowers until everyone present gets flustered.
They are considered completely stark raving mad.

Wow, okay. My Clockwork Orange character gets DAVD and lewd jokes. Eerie.

Agent Laquisha is part of DoSAT.
Their main fandoms are Les Misérables, Trigun, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, but they keep getting missions into Dragon Ball.
A lightsaber is their preferred weapon.
A mace is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Laquisha is infamous for singing off-color karaoke to the entire Cafeteria while buzzed on Pink Stuff.
They are considered actually insane.

Well, I can picture Laquisha singing karaoke in public with little to no embarrassment.

Agent Anne is part of the Department of Implausible Crossovers.
Their main fandoms are Farscape, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and The Lord of the Rings, but they keep getting missions into Naruto.
Fire is their preferred weapon.
Logic is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Anne is infamous for accidentally getting dyed blue for a month.
They are considered flamethrower-crazy.

Getting turned blue does feel like the sort of quasi-danger a Goosebumps protagonist could run into.

Agent Wilma is part of the Department of Plagiarism.
Their main fandoms are Mass Effect, Sailor Moon, and Tokyo Mew Mew, but they keep getting missions into Les Misérables.
A gun is their preferred weapon.
A katana is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Wilma is infamous for balloon sword-fights on wheeled chairs through the corridors.
They are considered a pyromaniac but otherwise sane.

Pyromaniac? Appropriate for the child of a terrorist, I suppose. Plagiarism is an interesting department, too, for someone removed from a cult focused on stifling creativity.

Agent Nostrum is part of the Bad Role-play Department.
Their main fandoms are Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus, Redwall, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus, but they keep getting missions into Les Misérables.
A whip is their preferred weapon.
A katana is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Nostrum is infamous for catching a fire on fire.
They are considered not all there.

Hey, Percy Jackson is an appropriate fandom! There are centaurs there, too.

Agent Luciano "Riso" is part of the Department of Bad Slash.
Their main fandoms are The Phantom of the Opera, Avatar, and Tokyo Mew Mew, but they keep getting missions into RWBY.
Cafeteria food is their preferred weapon.
A boomerang is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Luciano "Riso" is infamous for getting too heated about whether a certain fanfiction was a Mary Sue fic or not and ending it with a duel.
They are considered not all there.

Oh man, Riso would be freaked by all the crazy super strength in RWBY. He wouldn't be a fan of either Avatar, either.

Agent Edwin (the robot) is part of the Department of Improbabilities.
Their main fandoms are Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus, Supernatural, and Dragonriders of Pern, but they keep getting missions into Stargate.
A very heavy book is their preferred weapon.
Their fists are something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Edwin is infamous for accidentally becoming a magical girl in one universe.
They are considered weirdly normal.

Hurrrrr. Well, uh, Edwin doesn't actually have hands in its natural form, so I don't know about fists being a thing for it . . .

Agent Alfajiri is part of the Division of Bad Het.
Their main fandoms are Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus, The Legend of Zelda, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, but they keep getting missions into The Inheritance Cycle.
A bow is their preferred weapon.
A longsword is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Alfajiri is infamous for turning a charge list into a rap.
They are considered mostly lucid.

Bad Het is interesting here, considering Alfajiri's unusual respect for female authority figures.

Agent Ilcharheen is part of the Department of Redundancy Department.
Their main fandoms are A Song of Ice and Fire, The Lord of the Rings, and Dragon Ball, but they keep getting missions into Naruto.
A katana is their preferred weapon.
A wand is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Ilcharheen is infamous for temporarily developing superpowers that one time.
They are considered normal for the PPC.

DRD? matches all the extra letters in her name, I guess.

Agent Gee is part of the Eclectic Subdivision of Advanced Species.
Their main fandoms are Yu Yu Hakusho, Babylon 5, and Naruto, but they keep getting missions into Kingdom Hearts.
A boomerang is their preferred weapon.
Sharp words are something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Gee is infamous for sending fake messages from the Sunflower's ICEP account.
They are considered weirdly normal.

I could potentially see Gee learning to use the boomerang.

Agent Marty is part of the Department of Implausible Crossovers.
Their main fandoms are Doctor Who, Discworld, and Doctor Who, but they keep getting missions into Star Wars.
A boomerang is their preferred weapon.
Their fists are something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Marty is infamous for finding Carmen Sandiego in the middle of HQ one day.
They are considered flamethrower-crazy.

Not much to say here . . .

Agent Banda is part of the Eclectic Subdivision of Advanced Species.
Their main fandoms are Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Ball, and World of Warcraft, but they keep getting missions into A Song of Ice and Fire.
A lightsaber is their preferred weapon.
A bow is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Banda is infamous for streaking in front of canons.
They are considered boringly sane.

Banda is an advanced species. But can he streak in public if he doesn't wear clothes? Maybe in disguise.

Agent Numbah 3721 is part of Despatch.
Their main fandoms are The Legend of Zelda, Protectors of the Plot Continuum (wait, what?), and RWBY, but they keep getting missions into Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus.
A chainsaw is their preferred weapon.
A katana is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Numbah 3721 is infamous for skinny-dipping in the Fountain of Bleepka.
They are considered actually insane.

Despatch. Interesting reversal. (And no points for guessing the source canon for her!)

Agent Fox is part of the Cafeteria staff.
Their main fandoms are Sailor Moon, Firefly, and Protectors of the Plot Continuum (wait, what?), but they keep getting missions into World of Warcraft.
A pen usually is their preferred weapon.
A whip is something they are known for using to unexpected results.
Agent Fox is infamous for accidentally doing a strip-tease for the wrong person.
They are considered a pyromaniac but otherwise sane.

All of those fandoms would be terrifying to Fox. So would the Cafeteria, once he heard about Slorp.

So, yeah. That's the whole class Millie/Mollie and Olsen/Ollie will be part of. Stay tuned!

—doctorlit

One for my Boarder handle and one for my real first name. Both are amusing. I've added my own commentary in bold.

For Pretzel:

Agent Pretzel is part of the Cafeteria staff. (Not sure how I'd get missions then, but oh well.)

Their main fandoms are Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, and Star Wars, but they keep getting missions into One Piece. (I'm only vaguely conversant in Sailor Moon, but I'm happy with Star Wars.)

Their fists are their preferred weapon.

A very heavy book is something they are known for using to unexpected results. (Ah, Books. The greatest weapon there is!)

Agent Pretzel is infamous for telling people pollen is plant sperm. (Hehehe... This does kind of sound like something I'd do...)

They are considered mostly lucid. (Aw, only mostly? Though after working in the Cafeteria, I can see why.)


And now for my real first name...

Agent Christy is part of DoSAT. (Nice. Probably one of the departments I'd actually want to go into.))

Their main fandoms are Kingdom Hearts, Les Misérables, and Inuyasha, but they keep getting missions into Twilight. (Wow. Of all of these, I'm vaguely conversant with Les Mis and hate Twilight with a passion. Huzzah!)

A mace is their preferred weapon. (...I'm assuming it's a very small mace. Anyone who's seen me in RL knows I'm about 5'2" and 110 lbs. I don't think I'm going to be hefting a standard battle mace any time soon.)

A knife is something they are known for using to unexpected results. (Like making tasty food!)

Agent Christy is infamous for being part of a secret book club. (Oh, nice! Wonder what kinds of books are talked about...)

They are considered boringly sane. (Huh. I must've just started at the PPC, then, rather than being... Oh, wow-- an eight-year oldbie. Dang, time flies.)

"So your world has such a monster problem, they have to train people just to fight them? Are they just . . . walking around the streets in the average city? Isn't there some way to stop them from being created? Or are they just your local wild animals?"

Then, very quietly under his breath, Doc added, "Wild monster animals, like bees."

Shamrock didn't seem to notice her partner's sigh. "The world that I come from, Remnant, is inhabited by these big nasty critters called Grimm. As a huntress, I was training to fight them before I came here. They're soulless creatures of destruction and dread, and are attracted to human suffering. You've got fairly weak ones, like Beowolves and Creeps, but there are some big nasty ones out there like the Goliaths and Nevermores." She grinned and patted the haft of the giant axe on her back. "They were no match for me and Schmerzweimel, though!"

"She likes to talk about her weapon like it's alive," Randa whispered to Vania.
