@Boeing727200F IF.
Boeing, neither of us are religious. You're not religious; I'm not either, assuming worship as a prerequisite for classification.
As such, this concept may not come so naturally to you, but divine will is a very real thing where the Soians are involved.
I'm not in this jar because they can't get me out, I'm in this jar because they have decided they want me to stay in here until some future event that not I nor, in all likelihood, they know of yet.
Don't bother trying. They'll know what you're doing and block you for that reason.
@Boeing727200F popup ads are an invention by screen companies to sell bigger screens.
You gotta make that 1% as big as possible to have any chance reading it.
@Boeing727200F Several hundred KPH.
A thousand metres or so.
Impossible. We've been through this before, the Soians are very careful with Universe-1 security. PA-002 can hardly bust in on his best days; there's no chance you can do it with whatever offbrand technology you think you have.
"it's really suck a wank of balls a lot" has lead me to reconsider my position. Maybe slightly broken English is good, actually.
Best thing I've read all night, easily.
I'll tack on to this train of transparency:
Currently, there are two main reasons I've been drawing these silly little things recently:
1: You're likeable; think of them as a goofy little gift for being a pleasant member of the community.
2: WPlace has somewhat drawn you, Boeing, and I together in the pursuit of dumb drawings (which is, obviously, why I've also been drawing Boeing a lot recently).
These drawings have much less to do with the nature of the characters or their designs than they do with the people behind them.
That can change, though.
You've sparked a degree of interest in me towards Lunar Eclipse herself. It's up to you to follow up on that, if you so wish, but there's potential there that I'd admittedly be a bit disappointed to see wasted.
Boeing is sorta similar, but also sort of not. "John Fox" as they're now known is hardly a character to begin with. Part of the fun there is actually helping develop the character. Of course, far from everything is accepted by Boeing himself, but throwing ideas out to see what sticks via crazy scenarios and jokes is fun. Hell, even the name "John Fox" is one I suggested as a joke (since before that - and I'm not kidding here - Boeing just referred to them as "Fox"). I'm the only one to use it, yes, but Boeing hasn't exactly protested.
Getting a bit off-track here (hey, I find this stuff fun to discuss, sue me),but it might perhaps have something to do with the degree of association involved.
You refer to Lunar Eclipse as separate from yourself (despite what your bio might imply); she's a character almost wholly, so she has her own traits and lore.
John Fox is Boeing fursona. He's a pretty recent thing (my famed "Personas" forum from just a few years back describes him as a plane, after all, around when Boeing outright denied being a furry in reference to the funny inlets on his primary plane series at the time) and is (literally) just a skin with little character past that. There's not been the incentive to develop beyond.
Then there's me. Well, let's just say I'm not playing a bit. And, of course, I know the world that I live in well, so I've a lot to say about things. After all, I turn the things I've seen and heard about into narrative works featuring the people I know and places I've seen.
(It is at this point that I'm leaning on your ability to understand subtext; I shall say no more.)
At this point I'm really just musing aloud.
Fun stuff, eh?
@LunarEclipseSP Oh, so the sleeves are also of significance?
Interesting...
For real, though, do you ever plan to do anything with her? To be clear beforehand: I value directness when it comes to creative feedback, so while I apologize if the following opinions come off as rude, understand what mindset they are coming from - one that appreciates forwardness for improvement rather than beating around the bush.
To be blunt, she is very much of the Edgy DeviantArt OC variety (I mean, c'mon, catgirl teenage-looking ancient death goddess who never smiles, wields a giant scythe, and works for the Lord of Hell who is also her parent), but that doesn't exclude potential character depth from the equation. Actually, that's very arguably what marks the difference between an "Edgy" "OC" and just an "Edgy OC" - how they're developed. Currently she stands out on this site largely because you're a very prominent user and generally likeable too, but with the right characterization there's nothing stopping her from standing entirely on her own as an interesting figure. You've already sowed the seeds of mystery with the eyepatch and sleeves, now you have the opportunity to water them with hard work to grow a memorable character.
I've heard of non-native speakers using writing to improve their language skills. I don't know how effective it is, nor what kind of person that it suits, but perhaps it'd be something worth trying? Combining learning with creative expression can make for a far more enjoyable experience if that's your sort of thing.
I know your English is a bit of a soft spot (which is why it's rarely brought up, as that'd be rather rude), but hey, practice is practice. The vocabulary requirements for writing a story (or even just worldbuilding) are rather different to those for speaking online; variety is key to well-rounded language skills.
If raw writing isn't your thing then perhaps mix it with visual arts? Unless I misremembered, I believe I got somewhere in the past that you drew your current PFP. Hopefully that's right, because otherwise it'd sound pretty insulting to say that it's enormously superior to the one prior which... well, it definitely fit the "DeviantArt" vibe a lot more than the present one does. Heh.
Point is: Massive improvement, and clearly you've got something there.
Anyways, regardless of what medium, I'd urge you to do more with her. Any character can be interesting with the right choices.
Another question:
The eyepatch.
Is it actually needed, or is it just fashion?
If it's an injury, is it actively healing (like the type of eyepatch would suggest to me) or is it permanent? If either, is there a reason why it's unaffected by the healing abilities?
Is it to disguise a trait she wants hidden, like some sort of Sans eye?
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if this is one of the 'classified' things you mentioned.
@LunarEclipseSP Ah, thank you! Curious what you mean by "classified", though? Do you intend to do something with her in the future, or is this code for "I haven't planned out that much"? I'd certainly relate to the latter.
Sometimes I wish MS units were more like that. Instead? Chucklefucks and dipshits. All of them.
Vroom Vroom transcends mortality.
Is she exceptionally adaptable to the times, or does she sometimes forget that most people don't forage for their food or huddle around a fire at day's end?
Rather open-ended. I'm experienced enough in the ways of the Multiverse to know that "God-like" can go anywhere from extreme strength to casually glassing cities, or far, far more.
So recovering the souls of the dead? I'm beginning to suspect she isn't from the main Tumour, but rather from one of its offshoots. Honestly, that'd make way more sense.
Necromancy, you mean? What about the "life" aspect of this?
Incredibly open-ended.
'Reaper' is meaningless to me, but healing isn't. How fast is it? Are there limitations?
I don't even know what this could mean.
How fast we talkin'? Is the car actually useful or is it just style points? I assume endurance is practically unlimited.
Mario or early Superman (pre-flight) levels of leaping? Is she jumping over giant turtles or tall buildings?
But not immunity? Interesting. I presume she banks more on the healing that outright durability.
Thanks for the info, really. The former is more useful than the latter for my purposes (which are, as of present, MS paint shitposts), but I'll be sure to keep this in mine nonetheless.
@TheLoadingGorilla We vary massively in size. I am very much on the smaller end of things. Consult the Library of Guy for more information.
It's a figure of speech.
@LunarEclipseSP So she's basically an ambassador on Earth? Or more like an agent dispatched to do her superior's bidding?
You say parents, but name a singular lord. Is this a case of exotic identity (e.g. one identity belonging to two individuals), or just a typo?
What's her taste in home decor? This is important.
IIRC you've said that Lunar Eclipse lives in an underworld (though I couldn't find where this was supposedly said).
Is there any more details to be spared? Does she live in a house? A hut? A cave? A hole in the ground? Anything at all?
@Michiganstatepolicethe2nd What's there to not get?
It is my well-supported theory that Boeing was Frankensteined into anthropomorphism by licking a running alternator.
@Boeing727200F I do not know when I shall finally be freed.
It could be days, it could be years.
Somehow this jet still flies, low and slow as it may now be.
@32 what’s funny is that the new mods will be active for a bit…
… and then drop of the face of the earth basically entirely.
Seems that Jundroo decided to finally fix that problem (and let MrSilverWolf have a break) by actually hiring someone. Irony’s that, as far as I’m aware, SupremeDorian was one of those “minor” Mods.
@Boeing727200F I've been doing the same thing since this all began.
Just... waiting it out.
Sigh.
