The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

1.) I am Leonidas, a posthuman Astartes of the Dark Angels Chapter of Space Marines in *Warhammer 40,000*.
2.) Floaters at the moment. My partner is Samuel (Sammy: IT'S SAMMY DARN IT) McLeod of *Gundam Build Fighters*.
3.) I lost count around the third century of my life.
4.) Approximately seven Terran feet, and the weight of a small ground vehicle when armored.
5.) I haven't bothered to figure it out. Duty came first in my setting, and I have a distinct lack of interest for reorganizing my priorities to amend that.
6.) Unknown. I was smart enough to consistently lead a Company of 100 Astartes and support elements to victory in the most brutal combat conditions conceived by the enemies of Mankind.
7.) N/A. I wear robes, power armor, and a bodysuit beneath that. Conventional undergarments are not part of my standard uniform.
8.) Three. Myself--for I am a living weapon, forged in fury, my bolt pistol--an automatic handgun of 0.75 caliber, with self-propelled mass-reactive explosive rounds, and my powered relic blade, forged of meteoric obsidian, a Heavenfall Blade called the Sword of Solitude. Occasionally I will supplement this with various explosives such as frag grenades. Earlier in my home universe, I wielded a power fist and a storm shield in my days as a Veteran Sergeant.
9.) Not by the standards of my home universe.
10.) ...yes. I was recruited at a young age, before I had fully biologically matured.
11.) No; neither do I fantasize about heterosexual relationships.
12.) Frakk.
13.) Due to my implants and modified physiology, I am incapable of being nauseated by most things, including motion sickness. I came close during my first high-velocity deployment from low orbit via drop pod, however.
14.) As far as I am aware, no.
15.) I fear nothing, for I am fear incarnate! However, I do feel concern at the idea dying with my duties unfulfilled.
16.) I do not see the relevance of this question to my personality. But my answer is no.
17.) Most mind-altering substances have no effect on me. However, I do not seek to find the exception; I am not a Space Wolf.
18.) At several points throughout my service to the Emperor, I suffered injuries that would've killed a mortal human several times over. However, being an Astartes, I survived, although with new scars each time. I also nearly died in a duel against an unarmored Astartes, which ended in a technical draw, during my trial of initiation to earn the honor of recruitment. (Although I was not aware of the purpose of the duel at the time.)
19.) No, although they did attempt to restrain me in the immediate aftermath of my arrival as I processed my surroundings.
20.) Not to my knowledge.
21.) True sleep is a rarity; my partner tells me I do not on the rare occasions I enter full sleep.
22.) Hopefully not. My saliva is corrosive enough to burn through metal and if I drooled at this proximity you would be in a great amount of pain.
23.) ...I would save Samuel.
24.) My power armor has waste recycling features incorporated into its systems. I also suspect that bathroom stalls would find it difficult to contain my physique.
25.) Once. My mortal sister, as a farewell before my recruitment into the Dark Angels. I did meet her again years later, but that's a story for another time.
26.) I can't remember. My mind was clouded by conflicting emotions at the time.
27.) I don't hear anything. Are you suggesting that I am suffering from Warp contamination?
28.) I did not ever attend a school; my birthplace was a Feudal world and roughly equivalent to medieval Terra in technological level.
29.) If I find that this information has been misused my retribution shall be both swift and merciless. (Sammy: Ohhh Lord...)
30.) I am indifferent. I suppose I should thank you for your time?

(This character is still in the works so some of my answers are liable to become inaccurate by the time I've finished, but all of the important character traits are set so he shouldn't change too drastically...
I might try again with my other agent later.)

1. I am Chenille, the last-- er, a rabbit-wearer taguel. My home was Fire Emblem.

2. Mary Sues, freelance. I have no partner.

3. Time is warped in this place, so I could not truly say, but twenty-four winters is close.

4. Do you mean as I am now or my animal form?

5. You mean who I am attracted to? Taguel females.

6. My kin are intelligent creatures, same as any man-spawn or sapient.

7. Taguel have fur.

8. Teeth and claws are all the weapons I need.

9. I would think not.

10. *dryly* Have you seen another taguel before?

11. Is there a reason your heart has speed up?

12. I would not say it unprovoked.

13. On a mission. Food poisoning.

14. Only those that afflict all agents.

15. I would not so easily reveal it.

16. Cross...dress?

17. Taguel do not easily come to rely upon substances.

18. *vaguely uncomfortable* I have not been to the moon yet, but it was a close thing.

19. I have been to FicPsych, but they have never restrained me before.

20. No.

21. If so, no-one has said.

22. No.

23. Whoever was closest.

24. Do you truly want to know?

25. No.

26. I repeat; no.

27. *confused* Is it odd to only hear my own?

28. What is this... school?

29. *shakes head* None.

30. *slam as the door shuts*

...eventually. I'll probably post them as responses to this; I just wanted you to know I'd seen it and was thinking about it. :) I'm currently in the middle of planning a D&D session, so I'll get around to this later.

...though, Nesh, if you want me to also do one for Farilan, just say the word. :P

I mean, they covered all the same points I did, so obviously I'm they're intelligent and know what I'm they're talking about. ^_~

But seriously, the site as a whole looks like a fantastic resource. Thanks for sharing it!

You and Thoth (and S.M.F., even) seem to have come up with sort of external answers to who these speakers are, whereas what I had in mind when I chose them was all about internal mood and general demeanor. The responses are arranged on a rough scale of formality to informality, with (possibly) inappropriate extremes on both ends and varying degrees of sociability. I think you both touched on the internals indirectly, Thoth more directly in his "Why" response, but perhaps at first you took it as a given or weren't really aware of perceiving it? Or just weren't taking the thing seriously? {= P

You both came up with sets of five very different characters based on a very little sample of speech, though, and if you wanted to, you could probably keep writing speech in their voices without much chance of confusing one for the other. Well, excepting the CAPTCHA and the Generic Shopkeeper NPC, which probably don't have much else to say. Why'd you guys balk at seeing those speakers as real people, but not as much at the others? You might want to examine your biases a little. If we're not careful, we humans are very good at making snap judgements about other people based on how differently from us they talk. {= )

Anyway... I do hope this was at least a little bit helpful to SunAndMoon. Or anyone.

Attention all agents!

The Fake Multiverse Monitor, as part of its ongoing efforts to step out of the shadow of its competitor predecessor and improve the quality of the scandalous gossip news media in Headquarters, is hosting an opt-in series of interviews with YOU, the agents of the PPC! Let us get to know you a little better by answering the questions at the end of this message. Participation is completely optional, but should you begin the interview, every question MUST be answered, however difficult it might be. Otherwise, what's the point?

Please address submissions to Response Center 14 2536 by ICEP or regular post. Responses will be featured in upcoming editions of the Multiverse Monitor. The staff reserves the right to edit responses for brevity, clarity, and hilarity good taste.

OOC comments: Hey, all! It seems too quiet around here, so I thought we might liven things up with a little game that lets us do something I think we all enjoy, which is talking about our characters. I found the following wacky OC character interview on deviantART. I'm reproducing it here for convenience, and also because I'm adapting it slightly.

Please respond in-character as your agent(s), not yourself. Permission is not required for this. In fact, if you're working on building characters, that's all the more reason to join in! Please do try to answer all the questions—but note that nothing says your characters have to answer in an honest or even useful way. ^_~

Oh, and please keep it PG-13. It's the Monitor, so this interview is not exactly a paragon of high virtue, but still. {= )

I'm not planning to actually do anything with the responses myself, but if anyone else is bitten by the journalism bug, have at it!

I'll supply my own responses, too, but probably not today.

Have fun!

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to say hello, and I hope that you're all doing okay. I know it's been a while, and I've been really busy with a lot of things. I don't know if I'll come back to writing stories, since I've got a lot of projects lined up. It's late at night/very early in the morning and I was thinking that I never did make character pages or a story page when I was active, and I might do that if that's okay, even though it might be a bit obsolete.

I wish you all well, regardless!

...There should be a light gun course where you shoot sues.

So much so that there isn't one. Or is there? It's among the PPC's greatest mysteries, up there with the fabled Pool.

Is this--can it be--

Is this the one from back in, wow, 2013 or 2014 or so? The one I have an unfinished interlude for?? Can it truly be?

Or, y'know, do I have the wrong end of the stick here?

(But if this *is* the one I have an unfinished interlude for...well, maybe I'll have to finish it.)

Yeah... What the subject was.

A few days ago, GMA posted the following quote from a Fate badfic he'd found:

“I want jewelry,” Archer said decisively. He wanted to get his ears pierced and put in little ruby studs.

This is (apparently) pretty OOC for Archer from Fate, but Snowy suggested that it made perfect sense for Archer from Archer (the spy office comedy), which led to GMA writing this ficlet (that I'm sharing with permission because it's funny)

Scene: Archer and Lana are in an office late at night, having just rappelled through an open window from the roof of the building.

Archer: "Lana, I want jewelry."

Lana: "Archer, we're in the middle of a top-secret mission to stop a small army of Somalian pirates from buying chemical weapons from North Korea. Do you think there might be something more important to focus on?"

A: "No. I'm thinking ruby studs, probably cartilage, what do you think?"

L: "Archer, I'm actually working on the mission at hand. Could you do something useful for once and start searching some of these cabinets?"

A: Takes out phone, starts dialing a number "I can't, I'm doing something else right now."

L: "If it has anything to do with rubies, it can wait."

A: "Look, it's perfectly understandable that you can't stop thinking about how hot I would be with piercings, but that's not the point right now. Hello, room service?" (Conversation continues in background)

L: "Ha, found the records we were looking for! Now we just have to go to the meeting point and stop the sale. All right, Archer, let's get out of here."

A (Still on the phone): "What do you mean you don't have seafood? We're on the coast, how is that even possible? Uh huh. Yeah, thanks." Hangs up as alarm starts blaring

L: "Seriously, Archer, grab the rope and let's get the hell out of here." Grabs rope

A: "What kind of room service in a hotel on the coast doesn't even--"

L: "NOW, ARCHER!"

Heya Twisty! For fandoms, mainly Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Percy Jackson. If I ever stop procrastinating I finish Miraculous Ladybug and Trollhunters so I an write for them too.

As for my agents so far... The first one doesn't quite have a personality so much as a space in the narrative he needs to fill: doesn't have an assibed partner (at the moment) despite being fairly experienced; very professional and distant, even when working with a temporary partner. Basically, he's got trust issues.

The second is more defined, since I've got a backstory for her. The first thing I want to spork is an old fic of mine, and she's the Sue from that. Her backstory in the fic is (basically) Amnesia, so I've got a few options on where to take her personality based on what I'd originally planned for her character. Her main gimmick so far is Lightning. Lots of Lightning. Hijinks will ensue, and may or may not include intermitten explosions.

I've taken to giving out explosive chocolate bars! Here's one for you!

Due to the overwhelmingly positive and very fun response the original PPCLand post received from a few oldbies, I have decided to make this a recurring thing. Even though it's only hypothetical... *looks at everyone with Permission*

Welcome, one and all, to the best new theme park in New Caledonia! PPCLand! Get the full agent experience with a variety of rides, shows, stores, and other attractions! Come visit today!

The attractions we offer so far will be posted shortly. Come up with your own, or if you made one last post, feel free to edit your ideas too.

-Twistey

Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!

Hi there! I'm Twistey! You'll get to know me soon enough. What are your fandoms? Also, what are your agent ideas? I'd love to help you with them.

For your newbie gift, here, have a different potion. This makes you more resistant to persuasion and brainwashing, but if you drink too much of it, there'll be bad side effects. You'll need it when dealing with this one *grinning, gestures at Snowblaze, who I've been having joke RP fights with for some time now.*

Welcome aBoard! I hope you have a great time here!

-Twistey

Have a potion which helps you feel more awake with... minimal side-effects.

It's too late at night for me to have coherent thoughts about this, but here's the trailer:

Bwuh?

~Neshomeh

Yes, well, between getting permission and actually making the characters, it'll be a bit.

I'm new here myself. I look forward to reading your missions.

Already done! I tend to do some Research before diving head-first into new communities, so I've already read the Constitution, Board FAQ and Newbie FAQ.

Welcome, welcome! Take a seat and stay a while! I made a fresh batch of SPaGhetti—help yourself while you read the Original Series and the Constitution.

*looks around, pokes*
