(This is assuming we want them to be brought in like any other new characters.)
Cascades of quicksilver light streak across the firmament as the celestial voice of Ourania intones, "Oh Jarrod..."
Being a novice who already knows a lot more than a novice should is already an OOC thing. You can try to be subtle and semi-IC about it I guess, but an OOC tell doesn't seem unreasonable.
When I was doing a lot of orientations, if someone seemed to know what was up already and didn't say so, I would just ask in a similar tell.
Mechanical knowledge, cool, makes my life easier. I can focus on the interesting bits.
But don't join a city and start calling other novices "young one" and "dear" and dripping with "I am a big shot" condescension. You're a new character, your character is 18 and new to the city and your rp is bad.
we don't assume you're a jackass in hiding for being a super noob,
you don't be an entitled shit.
I am only going to address this once since I assume this is about me (though I don't have a SoA so who knows), and since similar accusations have been thrown around about me in various other OOC places.
If your problem with me is simply that I have artefacts, then I don't know what to say to you. People don't buy credits to not have artefacts. If your problem is that I hunt Underworld, then you have a problem with the fact that I'm RPing, which is ironic. Farrah never chose to hunt Underworld. She was brought there. Being rather young and not knowing precisely what the Underworld even was, she was not going to refuse to go there! I do not know where the "like they own the place" comes from unless merely hunting Underworld is owning Underworld. Farrah has told Atalkez she does not have any interest in causing unnecessary trouble with others, and thus has not actually jumped others they see hunting there. All of her kills are self-defense, with the exception of one preemptive strike against someone who had attacked them every time he came down before.
But really, I have been putting a ton of effort into Farrah's RP, and everything she does has an IC, not OOC explanation. I don't usually disclose RP stories in this kind of way, but since I've been attacked on multiple occasions OOCly since I started playing, I'll explain a small amount: Farrah's parents are deceased. She received an inheritance along with a note of their expectations and wishes for her future. She is, thus, a bit richer than most of her age. She does not consider herself much of a warrioress, but she tries - she wants to be strong and does not want to disappoint. If asked, though, she would blame her actual success in battle on her angel, who is extremely fierce and protective of her and does all the work. Many who try to kill Farrah end up being slain by her angel. Her angel is also a guiding hand who often advises Farrah as to what to do herself. Atalkez would attest to this, as it's come into play a lot in their interactions and in creating their particular relationship.
I will not go into Farrah and Atalkez's story in detail, but there is an explanation for their interactions as well. There has been quite a bit of RP development there. But as for flaunting my past character, I refuse to tell people who I am OOCly. I also refuse to engage in OOC tells, parties, clans, etc. I cannot keep people from speculating, if they want, but it's a bit odd to blame the one who wants to keep it quiet and start anew for everyone -else's- curiosity.
Everyone who has said they were "irked" by Farrah has never interacted with her, however. I am mostly posting here for the sake of people who are hearing all of the gossip and who might be influenced by it to believe that I am not interested in RP. So, think whatever you want, and rant to your heart's content on OOC clans about how everything I do is OOC metagaming (the irony), but if you want to actually play the game, I'm there!
You're a credit to the game and I have enjoyed our interactions, and look forward to further ones.
So, thank you for being awesome.
Edit: you too @atalkez and thanks for all the learning! I will probably bug you later again!
Nice of you to stand up to the plate and put yourself out there though, when it would have been easier to keep quiet.
*Unless you were the kid with Atalkez in Annwyn the other day?
I was hunting alone in Annwyn, and was attacked by Rythnin whilst hunting fairies. I slew Rythnin as he didn't cure recklessness and basically killed himself. He instigated the fight, I stood and fought.
I left Annwyn, so as to avoid any more conflict and Atalkez asked me to spar. I said I would gladly spar him once I got a few more levels.
Atalkez then offered to take me hunting and took us to Annwyn again, where I then was involved in a 2v1 against Proficy (who instigated the fight) and subsequently died to Chiam and Xer when they entered Annwyn.
Achaea and Imperian have quite a lot of similarities, so some things do bring back old memories, but Achaea is, at the same time, totally different. So, my newbiness does show quite often.
I might be running around with a few artifacts, but believe me, I only obtained 50% of what I put into my Imperian character, plus 7 years of memories that can only be memories.
That's part of it though!
As I noted in my post, I wasn't sure if you were talking about me. Just thought I'd say something since a number of others have discussed the topic in particularly rude ways. If you aren't one of them, there's no hard feelings. I believe you.
Though, I was the one you attacked in Annwyn (with Atalkez), yes.
I.E. I retire today, in 6 months I make a newbie, like it, transfer credits over within that newbie's 30 day age?
