LOL! I guess I just assumed they were powered the same way things are powered here—or the same just about at least. ![]() I hope it's really that there's a giant invisible dragon! |

No Duo? That's sad. I might be willing to play him, though since I never have before, it might have odd characterization...but isn't that what we're going for with a clean slate anyway? Always happy to play Hilde, in any case. And Tsubie. And a giant invisible dragon! Pish! It is no dragon! It is a pink elephant! And here's an interesting thought - I learned the other day that gravity is constantly weakening because the fluid metal core of the Earth is slowing down and solidifying, along with some other complicated physics-type things. Perhaps, if we ARE going to make an actual realistic reason for the powersource, the failing of it could be an issue to address in the RP. After all, with lessened gravity, the atmosphere would dissipate as well.... This be Dour, by the by. |

You are all so awesome! I don't think I say that enough.Leaving a trail of half-baked plots scattered around the internets has become one of my hobbies over the past year, so I don't think I could pass up on a new RP with you all even if it were to be completely and utterly AU. What I meant, though, is indeed that I like to keep the 'canon' character histories – otherwise I'd be lost. You could decide to put a barren prison colony for the criminally insane on Mars, where all the puppets meet up when they're past seventy, and I'd still be a member of our merry band... That said, I like your ideas – a temporal anomaly created by some Doomsday device sounds perfectly plausible to my Trekkie mind. I don't know where the steampunk would come in if they were to retain all technology, though... maybe the shit should really hit the fan first, then, so we could go post-Apokalyptic, with the need to rebuild Earth with 'steampunk technology'? Maybe Earth is in some sort of nuclear Winter, and sparing colony resources are all what's left? It would be quite a feat to keep certain colonies running without Earth to send supplies... like L2 doesn't have an asteroid field to mine for ore, and since it's perpetually obscured from the sun they can't get 'cheap' solar power – and the L4 and L5 clusters are richer, and do have the option of asteroid mining. And L3 is so far away you can't ever reach it if you're based on L2 with no power. *shifty eyes* Never mind. I suck at plot and settings, and I'm only being verbose 'cause it's waaaaaaay past my bedtime. As for playing swingers with characters – interesting... How many of you are fed up with the ways I've written Zhang thus far? Not sure I could get used to playing with any other puppet. Torturing Wu Fei makes me smile more, even, than drowning parasols. Guess he's my Cuppycake, and I'd rather not share him. One request, though – could we choose a different age category for the next RP? Nearly-seventeen-year-old Zhang deploying his hormones for the first time evar made me split my sides with laughter, but he was hard. And by that I mean a lot of work. On a side-note: mom's having her surgery tomorrow at 12:00h (UTC+1). Sorry if the above reply seems to have come from my ass – I'm not so much worried as I am confused and distracted. I've even been watching shitloads of TV the past days. [edit] Sorry, utterly didn't know you posted here too, Dour! Funny, I thought Rusty was just going to be away because she was to study in Russia, but that's not till May. Guess she doesn't love us any more... so if you do love us, Dour, or at least hate us with an equal passion and promise won't leave, I wouldn't mind having you join as Doodles.

One more quick note before I'm off for 24 hours or so, I prefer the characters in their 20s/30s (I don't know if that's what you were looking for, Mot), but I'm good for just about any age group, too, so it's not like I won't play if we use a different age range or such. ![]() Also, if luvvles Waffles, keeps him! I'm never giving up Dorothy no matter how badly any of you may think I play her! XD Hey, Dour! |

Ack! Dour! *wavies* Well drats, if that is the case for everyone I guess I am stuck with Blondy until the end of time, and then after that... in the post-apocalyptic time, too.
I like this. Would be interesting. *nods* I vote early twenties as far as character age goes. Splodeys? Ah, yes. It shall be done... I can't wait... *rubs hands together* |

Awwww, poor Desmond! *pets and pets* I know you hate playing Quatre, even though you're the only one on the planet who can make me like him with your seriously awesome interpretation. I honestly don't mind swapping Trowa with you. In the anime, and in the right hands, he's really almost nearly barely sorta kinda just like Heero, you know. Another perfect soldier. Anyway, whatever you decide is fine with me. You know how much I love Trowa—he's my fave character—so I don't mind keeping him if you really don't want him, but I'd love to play Quatre too. You've made him so kyoooot! Oooh, so glad you're joining us, Dour! *totally glomps you* You should make a fantabulous Duo! He's your favorite character, right? Or is Heero? I know that's your fave pairing, so it must be one of them anyhow. I guess my understanding of steampunk is a little different from everyone else's: as I understand it, it essentially means when you bring modern tech back into the past. Anyhow, I agree completely with the Wiki def, but if you guys want to define it differently I'll go along with whatever youse guys want. You know me, I'm game for anything! Get it? RP? Game for anything? Bahahaha! Yeah, I thought that was lame, too. |
For Love and Justice, the pretty sailor-suited soldier Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon I will punish you!

O___O Heck no I don't want Trowa! lol I was just being silly. I love playing Quatre as long as you continue to love not-hating-him-when-I-play-him. ^o^ Besides, he has some potential in this setting. I luff your Trowa. O____O *steals him and carries him around in pocket* So I guess we have come to a consensus? Steampunk with cannon backgrounds? All in favor say "AYE"?

AYE! Actually, E, Heero is. Duo's just easier to play out. O_O Oh crap! I just remembered I'm in the minority here, pairing-wise. Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed! King Arthur: Bloody peasant! Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn't you? |

Doesn't play well with others

I love you guys, but you're making my face hurt. Invisible dragons? No. Sit down, kids. It's story time. Once upon a time, some crazy Japanese engineers deployed shuttles full of metal and other shit into space and built some colonies. They must have done a little homework when they were writing the series, because the science behind these things actually checks out. The colonies are giant satellites. Theoretically they remain in orbit because they've been carefully positioned to rotate around the Earth on Lagrangian points. There's a theory that, given the gravitational pull of two larger celestial objects, they can sustain the infinite orbit of five smaller satellite objects. This is why there are five colonies, and where the "L" prefix comes in each of their names. L1, por examplar, is short for "Lagrange Point 1." So long as these objects remain in constant, uninterrupted circular rotational motion between the Earth and moon, and those larger bodies' orbits remain undisturbed, the satellites will stay in orbit. So it's really just gravity that keeps them in their orbits. A pair on colonies can then sustain up to five smaller subcolonies, and so forth, until you attempt to put satellites around an object that either has too weak a gravitational field or is attempting to sustain too many interfering satellite orbits. Now that I've shown my true nerd colors, I'd like to welcome Dour on board, and publicly declare that I'm considering offering Yuy up to the rabid fangirl masses. I'm not sure though; we've gotten rather attached. And I don't think anyone would even want him. He's very prickly.

I don't think I say that enough.

Would be interesting. *nods*
