Sorry! Between school getting close to finals, and my recent engagement, I've been a little spacey. I'm back now~!

You're engaged? Congratulations!

What do you think about my proposal I sent you via PM?

EDIT: Haha, should actually read the role-play before I post.

Serris · **Reply #1422 on:** May 01, 2013, 05:44:15 PM

Hey, I'm just curious, did any of y'all name your characters or other things after people you know (Tuckerization)?

So far, it's confirmed that Noname derived his the last name of his character, Corporal Thomas Stern, from one of his old friend's surnames. See here.

LB&T, you mentioned your last name is Halsey, is the terrorist commander in the first RP named after you? His name is also Halsey.

The town of Cornova is named after Cornova, the author of PokÈ Wars. I'm pretty good friends with him and I pre-read/edit his works.

The two Dragonstorm cyberneticists, Dr. Phyllis Lefrak and Dr. Thomas Sotille are named after a former teacher and a former classmate, respectively. Did I mention I hate both of those people?

Dr. John Volkowitz's surname comes from the former engineer (now VP) of my first aid squad.

Stephen Di Georgi is a hybrid of two professors (first name and last name) from my college.

no Aisha and dr Landon were complete creations. I did not base them on anyone I knew or know in real life

I actually don't do this horribly often. I prefer to use names that are subtle references to other franchises, or even references within Darwin's Soldiers itself. Most are chronicled on the TV Tropes "Shout Out" page, except this one.

Yup, only because it's the longest name I know with a corresponding female anagram (Ashley, his twin sister in Ground One.)

Yep, which is why I made life easier for you and killed them both off with an I-beam.

Also, can people please keep posting? Let's get the story moving. StarFall, you control the antagonists in this fight so a lot of the action is riding on your shoulders.

Nick22 · **Reply #1425 on:** May 02, 2013, 08:33:40 PM

i'm waiting fir a bit more action before having my characters participate.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1426 on:** May 07, 2013, 12:05:48 AM

Please post, guys.....

Starfall, if you're not going to post regularly, could you have more happen in each post, so the battle can approach an ending? Lots of characters aren't doing anything.

Nick22 · **Reply #1427 on:** May 07, 2013, 08:48:15 PM

I have a short post up. mostly waiting on starfall and Serris,.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1428 on:** May 13, 2013, 02:49:28 AM

Starfall and Serris:

I've seen both of you come online pretty much every day. Can I implore you to keep posting; we are so close to being done!

Starfall, we need:

1. the enemy experiments to be killed (you can have your characters do it)
2. Cale to kill the tentacled thing (you can ignore what I said about wanting Aimee to help, unless you could post frequently enough that multiple characters working together could finish the job before the week is out)
3. Once Neku is back on board, possibly an explanation as to how he survived detonating himself

Then the next few steps are:

A. Kill these enemy experiments.
B. Get Kerzach and everybody with him back to the boat
C. the boat to sail away happily
D. Epilogue?

Every time I make one of these posts, I get usually a single post from both of you and it returns to the doldrums. Can we keep regular, consistent posts going? Let's see if we can finish the role-play before June.

Nick22 · **Reply #1429 on:** May 13, 2013, 03:20:49 AM

yeah I would like to wrap the rp up before summer. then we can move to other rps..

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1430 on:** May 16, 2013, 01:11:05 AM

How many more days should we give Starfall before we end the fight without him and move on to the ending?

Nick22 · **Reply #1431 on:** May 16, 2013, 07:27:31 PM

give him a week i'd say

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1432 on:** May 18, 2013, 04:26:02 AM

It's been a week.

Serris, are we going forward? I can have Aimee kill the tentacled thing in my next post. Your characters can kill the other ones, or the androids can or something. No matter how long Starfall takes, we can still use his ideas for the epilogue.

Perhaps after the battleship sails away into the distance we can have an in-RP epilogue set 25 years later (as I've previously mentioned, I have to insist it's over 20 years in the future). The characters are all at the opening premiere of the movie and we explain what they've all done since. We can worry about that once we've wrapped up the roleplay proper.

Serris · **Reply #1433 on:** May 18, 2013, 11:11:38 AM

Let's move forward.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1434 on:** May 18, 2013, 08:28:39 PM

Okay...post please?

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #1435 on:** May 20, 2013, 11:33:24 AM

Well, it looks like you guys have this whole thing under control. It's been a ball.

Nick22 · **Reply #1436 on:** May 20, 2013, 04:37:48 PM

we still need your epilogue starfall. wrap this up, so we can finish it.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1437 on:** May 20, 2013, 05:35:56 PM

I'm sorry for jumping over you, Starfall, but you were gone for over a week. For the second time. I didnt hope to drum you out of the roleplay. Aimee just asked Neku a question, for example. We're getting close to the epilogue, perhaps we start discussing how that's going to go down?

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #1438 on:** May 20, 2013, 08:52:38 PM

It's all good. You guys have this under control, looks like.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1439 on:** May 20, 2013, 08:54:03 PM

But nobody can have Neku answer Aimee or play your characters but you.
