The main cast of CSI Cyber as the IPO's Cyber-Crime division? Eleventh Doctor: I never forget a face. The Curator: I know you don't. And in years to come you might find yourself revisiting a few, but just the old favorites. |

LAST EDITED ON Jul-10-16 AT 07:32 AM (EDT) I'd worry about this having been necro-ed, but it's probably alright. Anyway. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this in one of the other "Characters You'd Like To See In NF" threads, but Taylor Hebert from Worm would either be a fantastic hero OR a pretty intimidating antagonist. Or maybe both! Her home continuum is a crapsack world in excelsis and I'd love to see her get the happy life she deserves. Oh, and bring Tattletale along as well, she's not so much a quipster hero as a weaponized smartarse. =]It's still a great story and I love it to bits, but it's really not at all the kind of work that fits in with the UFverse. However, the actual characters are really well-written, and I think it'd be cool to see them get what amounts to a Reverse Korra Treatment. I also think it'd be cool to see someone fight a Rose Duel with a skinny, gangly fifteen-year-old OH GOD THE SPIDERS THEY'RE EVERYWHERE GET THEM OFF NONONO NOT THE BEES AND WASPS AND THINGS THEY'RE IN MY EYES OH GOD WHY DOES THIS CATERPILLAR BURN LIKE HOT SAUCE I SUBMIT I SUBMIT I WANT MY MUM- For reference, that's Taylor's superpower. Bad powers =/= bad people. =] --- "She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, // "She's not worth feed or hay, // "But I'll give her this," - he blew smoke at me - // "She was something in her day." -- Garnet Rogers, Small Victory FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards. Also I want to see the Experts of Justice beat the shit out of one of the setting's three disgustingly destructive kaiju. There are kaiju with superpowers. This is exactly as bad as it sounds. So, y'know, bring your A-game, chums. |

That was kind of why I wanted someone competent to do it. So many positive Wormfics descend into vengeance porn against her bullies (and completely miss the author's point about how pathetically small they are), or make her ridiculously overpowered because the fan writer doesn't really get how to write smart power usage, or turn into fanwank for the other crossover that gives Taylor an entirely different power this happens all the time pls stahp. It gets wearing. I'm desperate for fics where she gets to stay herself and gets a happy ending, whether in a new Earth or four hundred years in the future in a basement full of very confused people on Zeta Cygni wondering where all the butterflies came from. But I concede defeat on this issue, and will content myself with imagining the previously-mentioned Rose Duels involving all the spiders. =] --- "She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, // "She's not worth feed or hay, // "But I'll give her this," - he blew smoke at me - // "She was something in her day." -- Garnet Rogers, Small Victory FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards. I have read the source material. I don't think Gryphon would get through the first chapter without trying to find the author and beat him to death with a bit of old pipe for heroine abuse. |

Completely understandable. It's such a pain to wash out. (srsly tho you'd get along really well with taylor hebert as a character. and dragon, come to think of it. dragon is basically the setting's most heroic hero and is basically if iron man had the morals of captain america.) --- "She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, // "She's not worth feed or hay, // "But I'll give her this," - he blew smoke at me - // "She was something in her day." -- Garnet Rogers, Small Victory FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards. |

Actually, after watching a number of additional episodes, I'm inclined to disagree on the last point. The show's Parisian setting is a fairly substantial element of its feel and characterization, and it wouldn't be the same transplanted to somewhere Anglophone. (Not that this would stop it from being included in UF, of course!) Note to Gryphon, since he mentioned he hasn't recognized most of the recent suggestions: these are Ladybug and Chat Cat Noir, from Miraculous Ladybug (or Miraculous depending which translation you're watching). High-concept summary of the show: if Sailor Moon were French. |

The other three are sort of rather flat, but Kate McKinnon (who plays her) steals every single scene she is in and is the single best addition to the franchise they've made. (I will refrain from talking about the movie here but may or may not start a thread on it. My gushing over Holtzmann is not to be taken a full-throated endorsement of the franchise reboot, nor is this disclaimer to be taken as an equally full-throated condemnation.) -Merc Keep Rat |

LAST EDITED ON Jul-22-16 AT 08:55 AM (EDT) Would Widowmaker's complexion indicate she's from Gamilon?Roadhog looks like he'd be from.....um......dammit. The world Moose is from. (EDIT: IT'S HOFFMAN! He's gotta be a Hoffmanite.) (incidentally, a combination of typo and autocorrect made that 'looks' into 'looms' and I feel bad for having to fix it because *it works*) Bastion is obviously an old battle droid who went a few decades too long without a mind wipe. Mercy could theoretically be from almost anywhere, but somehow she feels....Valkyrie Medic, especially with her 'magic' healing staff. Symmetra may be from the Algo system, considering that she seems to use photon energy to make physical constructs. Zarya is just Russian. MAYBE from a high-g world, but definitely just plain *Russian*. Torbjorn is a Dwarf. Honest to goodness actual Dwarf. |

Maybe he was raised by humans, who had to >explain he was adopted when he started growing that beard at the age >of 5. Heheh. Some years ago, and after many years out of the habit, I was invited to play in a friend's Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition game (this was when 3E was the New Hotness). We had a week or so to come up with our characters before the game started, because our DM was keen on everyone having a Developable Backstory and ran a story-heavy game in general. The character I ended up with, after much consulting of the Player Handbook and rumination, was a half-elf barbarian/sorcerer called Einar Skinnarland (named after one of the heroes of the Norwegian resistance in World War II, about whom I learned from the late Leo Marks's excellent book Between Silk and Cyanide). The thing about Einar that seemed like a joke on paper, but wasn't in practice, was that he had been raised from infancy by dwarves, and though half-human and half-elf genetically, was entirely dwarven culturally. Among other quirks of personality, this meant that he was accustomed from long habit to conduct himself as if he were the tallest person in the room—even though, out in the everyday world, that was pretty much never the case, since D&D elves are shorter than humans, not taller as in many other FRP settings. He wasn't arrogant, but he always carried himself with a sort of unreflective confidence, figuratively if not literally looking up to no man. Unusually for a D&D character, he also had a day job (apprentice blacksmith) about which he actually cared; he wasn't just an adventurer. For all that he came across as a joke character at first glance, Einar was quite a hit in the game (which was excellent, and ran for some time; I actually had to retire from it when I moved back to Maine, then returned to Boston a year or so later so Einar could "guest-star" in the Grand Finale session that wrapped up the campaign). Partly that was because a sorcerer who hauls out an axe and flies into a barbarian rage when his magic is tapped out is a thing that villainous NPCs often don't have a plan to deal with, but mostly (I like to think) it's because the other players thought he was a cool character. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Nice. I'm playing a dwarf myself, in our current Pathfinder (aka D&D v. 3.75) campaign. Ingra Rogarsdottar (who despite the name has a pronounced Scottish accent) is doing a fair impersonation of the One Sane Woman in this band of murderhobos*. Truthfully, she would be happy back at the clan forges, making weapons for the city, with the occasional foray against the drow and the duergar on the weekends, but she went and caught herself a Destiny, and like most skin irritations, it won't go away on its own and has to be treated with a long and unpleasant regimen of care. Ebony the Black Dragon "Life is like an anole. Sometimes it's green. Sometimes it's brown. But it's always a small Caribbean lizard." (* murderhobo - A current slang for the traditional D&D adventurer, who has no fixed address, roams from place to place, kills people, and takes their stuff.) |

LAST EDITED ON Jul-26-16 AT 05:48 AM (EDT) Yeah, she's cyanotic, and cool/clammy to the touch. Which we're apparently supposed to find sexy, along with the whole "synthetic personality walking around in the body of its first victim, a tool of those who murdered the original Amélie Lacroix and her husband" thing. (And that, IMO, makes the intro narration of the latest trailer even more messed up, since Widowmaker was never a child; those are Amélie's memories she's talking about.) Aside from the meatpuppet, "she" is, IMO, less human than half the omnic characters. They, at least, have free will, while it's unclear if Widowmaker is anything more than a killer doll. |

Rumor to my ears has it that Blizzard's reaction to Widowmaker/Tracer being a 'ship is along the lines of "As much as we appreciate the fanart, guys, Widowmaker is so much more terrible a person oh god you obviously have no idea please don't go there." So, while I agree that her visual design is pure fanservice, I tend to think that they're trying to turn that into a disturbing disconnect with the inner horror, rather than a particularly weird stop on the fetish train. ----- The most wonderful thing about BBs Is BBs are wonderful things Their sides are made out of iron Their guns are made out of pain They're crashy smashy bashy flashy fun-fun-fun-fun-fun But the most wonderful thing about BBs Is there is more than one The~re is more than one! |

>In thinking a bit more about this now that we know Gryphon actually >knows what we're talking about, I recall he saw Volume 1, and the only real problem I remember was that the animation gave him headaches (Which Volume 1 is especially guilty of, thank god Rooster Teeth actually uses animation software now). Dunno if he's seen any more of it. I know some of the other writing crew still watch it, and I've seen some fanart Phil did for a Nanoha crossover on Spacebattles. >I would imagine at least a few of the >Beacon students might be Jedi-in-training (and hanging with the Harry >Potter crew).

Besides making their weapons too consistent, I don't think FI-era Jedi are quite appropriate for some of the Remnant students (*cough*Yang*cough). Ozpin I'm seeing more as an associate of Xaviers, in regards to school for the Interesting. Oobleck... is just weird. >And what is the connection between Ein and Zwei?

>>I fully approve of Pyrrha getting to be in a setting less likely to >>pull the events of Volume 3... Also, it's a place where she wouldn't >>automatically stand out (Besides being adorable) so that'd make her >>happy. I do enjoy RWBY a great deal, and while I don't think Pyrrha was -screwed- like some other characters brought into UF have been (obviously, this was planned from the beginning, and it didn't feel cheap or vindictive) I do think the entire setting of RWBY could be pulled onto a remote planet almost verbatim. Failing that, yes, the characters could still easily fit in. Her as Themiscyrean fits very well too, as Gryphon stated--she WAS patterned after a Greek warrior, after all. Everyone in JNPR is patterned after a culture. > >... and subsequently Jaune as well. Just wish we knew more about his powers. > >In thinking a bit more about this now that we know Gryphon actually >knows what we're talking about, I would imagine at least a few of the >Beacon students might be Jedi-in-training (and hanging with the Harry >Potter crew). Ozpin as a Jedi Master strikes me as very likely, too. >Oobleck's obviously hooked into the Speed Force. Not as sure about this. It's great for their powers but is a poor fit for their weapons. And have you seen the leaked Season 4 trailer? Ruby's speed movement got a -massive- upgrade, and it honestly looks less like the Force and more like magic. > >And what is the connection between Ein and Zwei? That is surely a question for the ages. XD ------ Fearless creatures, we all learn to fight the Reaper Can't defeat Her, so instead I'll have to be Her

I do agree that making Remnant a particularly odd colony planet -- kind of like Ragol squared -- would be the best way to manage the import. But that doesn't mean that we can't see Remnans in other contexts. (And yes, Themiscryan!Pyrrha works spectacularly well.) And then there's this little bit from the other thread with new messages this afternoon: >Daisuke Ido-Spengler, last seen way back in Scrapheap City Shuffle, is getting >on in years and presumably has given up hunting rogue cyborgs with a rocket- >assisted sledgehammer at this point, but he's still one of the galaxy's >foremost cybersurgeons in 2410.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-18-16 AT 08:35 AM (EDT) Sorry to necro, but having really gotten into the new series of Robot Wars, I would like to ask if Sir Killalot is a minor celebrity in the robot community. Indeed, I think it'd be kind of awesome if he was a mech-jockey, perhaps piloting something form Super Robot Wars, but that's for you to decide.Also, he had a crap single out in the Nineties. That alone should get him into UF. =] Also, he looks like this: --- "She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, // "She's not worth feed or hay, // "But I'll give her this," - he blew smoke at me - // "She was something in her day." -- Garnet Rogers, Small Victory FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards. Here it is. "Robot Wars (Android Love)". I am so sorry. |

>Also, he had a crap single out in the Nineties. That alone >should get him into UF. =] >Here it is. "Robot Wars (Android Love)". I am so sorry. Which is worse - the fact that I used to own that single, or the fact that I could still remember the chorus before clicking on that link? Mind you, I always liked Sgt. Bash more. Something to do with the flamethrower, I think - it's always satisfying to see something set on fire. --- "Things in life aren't always quite what they seem, There's more than one given angle to any one given scene.
