For those interested, Vergil and I have finally finished with the context for Lady's departure here. This all happens immediately prior to her dropping post.

not quite important enough to go in CFO

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 18:36:10 GMT

One-character-hiatus! Lady has about four times the comment count as everyone else I have ever played combined. So I'm gunna take a week or two to just really really focus on my other characters. And I did the "only Lady on hiatus" thing before but the whole time I was thinking "gotta get Lady back gotta get Lady back." So hopefully, this time I'll ACTUALLY play everyone else. WISH ME LUCK.

So Lady has just disappeared. Her cannon and the weapons she usually have on her are gone, but her books, bike, spare clothes and everything else are still where she keeps them in the bat cave.

PERVO MEME WITH A TWIST!

Lady gets regular pervo meme but for 80% of people it will be "tche. No." and half of those left would not be too interesting.

Adell gets spar fantasy like Ranma.

Gai will give you a super hot-blooded love-love tale on the triump of youth that will occur as soon as you accept the healing power of S*P*A*N*D*E*X~!

*Gai and Lee's training field, a little past sunset, but not quite night. She's slumped against one of the training dummies, treating some of the blisters on her knuckles.*

Sat, 07 Oct 2006 03:03:32 GMT

What I have been doing wrong with Lady! I think. For the most part.

Ok, so I don't think I've been THAT far off. Which is good. And I've found what I want to fix, which is even better. So, without further ado, some stuff.

Cynicism

My Lady is pretty cynical. Which I think is wrong. Yes, she gets fucked over repeatedly and lied to and hurt, but in the end of the game, she's still sounding... not happy, but hopeful. In particular, she shouldn't be bitter about Sparda/Dante's power at all. The way she talked to Thor about it, she made it sound almost like there was a demon ruling the world, whereas that's totally not true, not even in her sometimes skewed perception. Now, she's totally opposed to the idea of sitting back and letting Dante do all the world-saving. However, that's not really because she thinks it's BAD that Dante has power, or that she disapproves of having the son of Sparda fighting for the world. It's because she's stubborn and LIKE HELL is Dante allowed to have all the fun and glory. I still believe that in her ideal world, humanity wouldn't need a demon to keep them safe, but for now, she believes that Dante is a hero and will keep them safe. And she's glad for that. It should be noted however, if you ASKED her. She would fully declare herself capable of saving with world WITHOUT Dante's help.

Also, given how gullible she is in the game, it seems unlikely that she'll ever be a very cynical person. She talks a lot about how much she hates her father and will never forgive him and doesn't love him and blah blah blah. But the SECOND he gives her a reason to think that his actions weren't his fault, she totally believes him. So I think some of that should stay with her too. Yes, she's emotionally distant and fiercely in dependant, but she's also very trusting.

In conclusion: cynicism = NO

Weepy

My Lady is toooooooo weepy. Yes, she does cry a lot in canon, but uhm. She has damn good reason. I think given that by now it's been almost three years since all her crap started and two since it's been finished, she has probably gotten through most of her grieving for it. And in canon, she doesn't cry when she gets angry, or frustrated, just when she's sad. And I know she hasn't cried MUCH at camp. But still. The times it happened, it was bad. So not much crying for Lady.

Stubborn

Should be her one defining quality. Lady is stubborn. Lady is so stubborn that when Dante GRABS HER GUN AND SHOOTS HIMSELF WITH IT, she's still like "Whatever. I can still kick your ass. >|" I don't play Lady as nearly stubborn enough. However, here at camp, shes' not nearly as angry and sad as she was in canon. Unlike a character like Fllay or Rin, I don't think her pissyness is necessarily all based on her personality. I think a lot of her bitchiness is because of the situation she's in for the majority of canon (aka: her father is still alive). However, in what little we see of her post daddy-killing she seems a lot... ah... saner might be the right word. In her last scene with Dante, and during her narrations she seems fairly calm. Kinda... zen. Not just "BLARG BLARG BLARG MUST FIGHT HATE EVERY ONE STFU DANTE >(" All in all, this is me saying that I was thinking that I needed to be playing a more psychobitch!Lady, when in actuality, I just needed a slightly more STUBBORN Lady. Lady is a survivor. She will keep going NO MATTER WHAT. I think my lady was too much with the ">(" and not enough with the ">/."

Vergil

Lady does not want to kill Vergil. Oops. What am I basing this on? Well, in one scene, Vergil walks through the room where she is recuperating from her fight with Dante. If she wanted Vergil dead, she would have tried to kill him then and there, even if he could have beaten her easily. That's just who Lady is. So... I think it was wrong for her to want to have killed Vergil at camp. It's already said and done, so there's not much to do about it now. (Also, things that have happened at camp have made her not want to kill Vergil anyway). ALSO. Ok, she doesn't like Vergil. She doesn't know exactly what he and her father did together, but she ASSUMES certain things, and I'm sure some of them are right. So she dislikes Vergil. She might even hate him. She thinks he is not much better than her father. His superior attitude gets under her skin like nothing Dante could (or more importantly would) ever do.

Buuuut on the other hand, the fact that Dante loves him, despite all he's done is a HUGE part of the reason that she trusts Dante. Because to Lady, caring for y our family is what makes someone a worht while human being. Now, that doesn't mean she's going to put effort into getting along with Vergil for Dante's sake-- for one thing, I don't think she thinks Dante CARES if they get along or not, and even if he did, she still wouldn't-- but it does mean that as long as Vergil isn't hurting anyone, he's Dante's to take care of, and she won't become involved. There is, however, a small amount of fear that Vergil will hurt someone she loves, even with Dante there. But still. It's Dante's Family Matter and she won't make the first move. There also might be a tiny bit of pity for Vergil. 9.9

Ok. I think that's it. And I think if I try to work on those three things I will have a Lady I do not constantly worry about.

FEEDBACK IS AWESOME AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. Srsly. I have never gotten any feedback for Lady at CFUD_concrit. Ever. Not once. I WORRY.

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:43:53 GMT

Lady is taking a bit of a hiatus. Probably no longer than a couple days and Gai will totally still be around so there's no real reason to post in CFO. The problem is, Lady, as I am playing her, kind of sucks. I have no idea what how she's reacting to things and I'm making her run around camp and yell at people when she shouldn't and cry when she should be all stiff-upper-lippy and she contradicts HERSELF in conversations. I think when she was the only person from her canon, the problems were all still there, but less noticable. Now that I have wonderful, awesome canon-mates, it's really clear how off-base my Lady is. I am going to review canon. And figure her out. Hopefully. Mostly I'm putting this post up so that I can't slack off. Now everyone knows that they shouldn't be seeing much of Lady until there is some kind of "Here is where I am going wrong and this is how I will try to fix it"-type essay. I think. I hope. Maybe. There will be something, of some sort. That I am sure of.

Anyway, she's training pretty much 24/7 stopping for eating/sleeping/personal hygine as little as possible. If you really want her to be around for something, just poke me, but really, I'd like to keep her as much out of play as possible until I have this sorted out.

Thanks guys!

Dante/Snake NSFW-ish HAHA I FAIL AT GAY 8D

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 07:21:17 GMT

"So you bought that body." He said, slightly incredulous.

"Sure, best twenty-thousand red orbs I ever spent" she replied, silver hair falling over her face, covering up one half of a self-satisfied grin "The clit? Not even slightly over-rated."

"I'll bet." He took the invitation to reach forward and brush her hair back behind her ear.

"So," Dante said, tilting her head to the side to look up at him.

"So?"

"You want to find out if the drapes match the carpet or not, chief?" At that moment, Snake could have mentioned then that he had, in fact, confirmed that the carpet and the drapes went very well together many times over, but decided that backing her up against the cabin was and planting a solid kiss on her mouth would be much nicer. He could feel her lips pulling back into that smile again as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

One of his hands ran though her long, silky hair as the other went to work on her jacket's zipper. It wasn't too surprising to find that she had nothing between the leather and her skin. Once it was open, he reached in, cupping her breast briefly before sliding around to her back. Her skin was soft and flawless, pretty much like Snake had expected. Figures that a guy like Dante would get not one, but two perfect bodies. Not that Snake was complaining, mind you.

"Jacket." he commanded. One shrug and it slid to the floor. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He nuzzled between her breast and mumbled something under his breath. She let out a laugh. Quickly through, he went back to work, planing kisses across her chest and collar bone, enjoying the sensation of inexplicably well-manicured fingernails across his scalp.

"Pants." he said, setting her back down.

"I think I like this game, chief." she replied as she started undoing her belt. Snake took a step back to admire the view as she slid out of the soft black fabric. He'd have to ask Dante later if perfectly tailored leather pants were another benefit of devil's blood.

It had been a long day of Philanthropying, that was for sure. The Patriots had just whipped themselves up a fresh batch of super-weapons and it was up to one Solid Snake to stop them. Yes sir, he couldn't wait to get home to his hot boyfriend, male wife and Ex-Catholic Schoolgirl/Baby's Mama.

"I'm home!" he said in his gruff, badass, sexy voice.

"Hello, Snake. Would you like to save"?

-Save
-Continue

Otacon asked. Snake selected 'continue'. "All right Snake, take care!" he said, and went back to whatever he was doing on the computer. Which, if his intense look of concentration was anything to go by, was either hacking into the FBI's data-banks, or browsing /c/.

Lady was laying on the couch, enjoying a good book. You couldn't tell that she was nine months pregnant because the developement team was made up of cheap, lazy, misogynistic bastard who didn't bother to change her character model at all from the last game.

"Mhn." she said cheerfully, turning the page.

"Hhn..." he responded warmly. "Anything exciting happen back here?"

"Not really. Dante's still out hunting."

"That it?"

She considered the question for a moment, her gaze drifting to the ceiling.

"Oh right. I had the baby."

"Ah."

The sound of Otacon't brain exploding was audible from across the room. Especially if you were totally bad-ass and trained to hear things like brains exploding.

"...?" asked Lady, finally closing her book and looking over at where the hacker was currently spluttering with all of his might.

"You had the what!?" he finally managed to get out.

"Baby, Otacon." Snake said, "you know she was pregnant, right?"

"YES I KNOW SHE WAS-" he sprang up from his laptop and ran over to his aboptive sister, checking her over for- from what she could tell- was everything from bullet wounds to poison ivy. "WHEN DID YOU EVEN HAVE IT? YOU'VE BEEN HERE ALL DAY."

She simply blinked at this sudden intrution of her personal bubble. "Ah... about an hour ago. In the bathroom."

"But you were only in there for ten minutes."

"What do you think I would be doing in a bathroom for ten minutes, Otacon?" She asked reaching back for her book. "Putting on makeup?" Snake grinned. That's what he expected from his Baby Mama. Clean, efficient baby-making with no whining or hospital bills.

"Whu-where is the baby now, Lady?" Otacon asked, looking like he might die at any moment. She waved her hand over at a shoe-box on the shelf which he scrambled towards with a noise halfway between a long-suffering sigh and a whimper of pain. Sure enough, asleep in the shoe-box was the world's most bad-ass baby. "Lady." He said, picking up the baby and adjusting his glasses in a very disaproving manner. "You can't keep a baby in a shoe box."

"It's not a bad idea, actually" Snake said. "If our base were toe be infiltrated by the enimy, they probably walk right by, assuming that the contence of the box was nothing more than a pair of shoes. Assuming the kid doesn't get it wet, it'll keep him safe."

"That's right. I left some food in there too. Babies like carrots, right?"

"No Lady, babies don't like carrots."

"Huh."

"Have you even thought of a name for it- ahk... him?"

"Does it need a name?"

"He, Lady. He. And yes, he does." She gave him the look she gives to anyone when it is clear that she is failing utterly at having human emotions again. The 'Huh? Wazzat?' icon that doesn't look remotely confused or even all that interested. Mostly just expressionless. He used his 'Lemme think' icon on her, and responded "A child needs a name to help him creat an identity. Code names are well and good, but a child needs a name he can claim for his own."

"We shall name him," Snake said, his bandana BILLOWING DRAMATICALLY, "Little Boss."

"You can't name a kid 'Little Boss'" Otacon said, using that cute 'Metal Gear!?' icon beause he had used 'OMGWTFBBQ!!!111!' several times in this thread already. He decided to turn this into a double comment adding, with his animate 'a winner is you!' icon, "What do you think of the name Jake?"

THE ROBIN ESSAY

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 09:13:40 GMT

ANYWAY</i>. People with super-powers can't be... measured ont he same plane as people without them. That's it. Call her a meta-phobe if you will but that's it. It's not that she can't respect them, or love them. Just... she can't put them in the same place as normal humans.

On the other hand, the same thing is true of non-combatants. She can love them and respect them, but their lives aren't measurable on the same scales as someone who fights.

So here you have Lady, stuck in some stupid zombie camp. World could be exploding. Dante doesn't care and OH HEY LOOK ITS DADDY. And some little prick is knocking her out before she gets a chance to get the thing that fucked with her head. Not cool. But then... he gives a shit about her.

We don't see much of the DMC world when it's not about to end, but I get the feeling that pretty much everyone Lady had met in the past two years had kinda been like "Whatever. Shut up." except Dante who was like "Whatever. Let's fuck."

But these boys reach out to her. Not just like "so, stuck at zombie camp? Yah me too watch out for the rape :D". They actually, genuinly care about her. And she's like WTF.

Anyway, he's where I was going to re-cap their whole realationship, but it's 2am and I'm lazy. Let's skip to the part with the hot sex.

Oh wait.

Somehow, along the line, Robin has become the one person, possibly ever, that Lady thinks of as genuinely a better person than she is. He is the better fighter. He is morally superior. He is smarter. He has better control of his emotions. And while for the most part, not being the best at things pisses Lady off, she doesn't mind that it's Robin who's beating her because... it's Robin. Of course he's better. He should be better.

And it's not like "I want to do whatever Robin says and I will follow him forever for her is the light and the way" but it is... she'll be happy with whatever he gives her. She won't ask him for anything because she doesn't want to force him to say no. She will never ask about his family. She will never ask about his name. She would love to know these things, but if Robin wants to tell her he will, and she won't ask. Even if she caught Kon and Bart calling him Tim regularly, she will still call him Robin until told otherwise.

So that's where she is. Also, all of this is less soul-consuming than it sounds. It's not something she lies awake at night pining about. It's just sort of... there.

That probably made no sense.

You scored as XIII: Death. Death is probably the most well known Tarot card - and also the most misunderstood. Most Tarot novices would consider Death to be a bad card, especially given its connection with the number thirteen. In fact this card rarely indicates literal death.Without "death" there can be no change, only eventual stagnation. The "death" of the child allows for the "birth" of the adult. This change is not always easy. The appearance of Death in a Tarot reading can indicate pain and short term loss, however it also represents hope for a new future.

1-10 Sex-ness meme. Gai's answers will mostly be N/A as I fail at understaning the sexuality of man almost twice my age. Go figure.

Permission meme!

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 18:53:46 GMT

Age: 18 now
Height: I'm saying 5' 7" Tall, but not abnormally so
Eyes: One ins a fairly normal that's blue/green/grey depending on the lighting ~~and quality of the graphics~~ the other is the color of drying blood
Hair: Black, short, probably not very soft

Medical Info:

Physical traits: Body of a dancer. She is in excelent physical shape and it shows. Very well-toned. Dozens of battle scars, most of which appear to be cuts and gashes, a few are burns and bullet wounds.

What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: She's been pretty open that she's a demon hunter, since in her world, that's a valid career choice. Unless you are one of her good friends, mentioning the priestess thing, Mary or her family will make her glare at you and possibly never want to talk to you again. If you make meta-gaming jokes, she'll probably play along, but it should be noted that being an NPC is something of a touchy subject to her.

Notes for the Psychics: Angst. A whole lotta angst. You may also notice something crazy where she is pretending to be a different person 24/7 and is probably not even aware of it herself. She concidders the person that she was up to the age of 15 to be dead, and that "Lady" is a seperate person from "Mary." But really, she's not. If that makes sense.

Abilities: This one is a little tricky, because the game flat-out says that she is a normal human with not much by way of powers. Then she does things that no normal human can do. All I can take from this is that the DMC world's deffinition of "normal human" is a little off. Several times in the game she is badly injured and then wlaking around again within a couple hours. Also in other parts of the series they say that humans can't be around strong displays of demonic powers. However, she is around Dante when he devil triggers and stands directly next to the gates of hell with no ill effects. Using her cannon, she parries a blow from a sword that can cut through daimonds. She can fire a rocket launcher and the recoil doesn't seem to bother her. She can make a perfect headshot with a gun in each hand while completely airborn and upside-down. Despite having "very little training" her motion capture actress was a world kick-boxing champion and it showsin all of her movements. So I'm going to say:

- Very fast healing (not super, just sort of accelerated)
- Innate ablitity that goes beyond "a natural gift" for martial arts
- Physically slightly stronger than "a normal human"
- Skills with guns that goes beyond what "a normal human" should be able to do with guns
- *Immunity to bad demon mojo of some kinds
- *Blood is one of the keys to the gates of hell (that's not so much an ability as... ah... an aspect but there's nowhere else to list it)

* Only these two are traits for Lady that couldn't be true of anyone else in her world with some effort. None of these are enough to really count as "super powers" just... above average strengths I guess. Pointing them out to her may make her a little huffy, as she doesn't like thinking of herself as anything more than "a normal human."

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Sounds fine, just give me the heads up? I always am looking for the crack.

Kissing/Hugging: Depending on who you are, she's likely to pop you one for hugging her. Walling is fine. She likes it.

Fighting: Lady is a shounen dumb-ass HARD CORE. Seriously. She is pretty muich always looking for a fight around here. Gun fight, fist fight, cat fight, spar. Yah. She's up for it.

Maim/Murder/Death: Beat the shit out of Lady! It happens a lot in such a short canon. She'll be fine! It's good for her! Build character!

However, no death. Please. Unless we have talked about it before hand, please don't kill her. This will cause emo. Also, if you put her in a situation where she thinks she needs to kill you for her own safety, she won't hesitate to do so. At all. This will also cause emo, so I'd kinda rather that be avoided too. Again, talk to me. I love people talking to me.

Cooking: She's been living on her own sinceshe was 15. She can cook, just... not very well. She can't bake. At all.
