nexus Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 This isn’t so much a “What would you character do?” as “What would people say?” What would the Joe/Jane on the street say about your PC(s)? If the common people don’t know about him, what the “normals” that do have to say if given a chance for a short sound byte style interview?

Certified Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Re: WWIYCL? Living Among Giants Apollyon: "I don't know, I think the devil just saved that man over there. He was glowing with these weird runes and he had a whip made of fire. I think he told the thug when he was going to die... What ever happened to spandex and capes? Some of the heroes are outright freaky." Fallout: "That's the thing that gives people cancer! I heard about him on the news some mutant thing..."

OddHat Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Re: WWIYCL? Living Among Giants Dai Nipponjin (Big Man Japan is the US title) has some great stuff relating to this. As to my characters: Style - "Who?" Flesh Gordon - "Reprehensible!" "Dreamy!" "Hahahahaha!" "Isn't he that guy who does those crappy movies?" "I heard he was dating Brittany Spears!" "He's very big in Japan." "He's very big in ja pants." "That's not what I heard." "He wears pants?" "Call me!" "I'll kill him!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Vesper has a spiffy car. On the other hand, I know what 'Drifter' means.

Badger Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Re: WWIYCL? Living Among Giants Badger- He's the former villain, that was pardoned and now protects the town. He has vowed to kill Dr. Destroyer for the slaughter of his family. (well, not exactly, but Badger's archnemesis is sort of a "clone", albeit considerably weaker, I mean Badger wouldnt be that crazy) I heard he lives in a cave out in the forest, near town. Frosty Bob- From the ladies (especially ones he has, we shall say "met") (Censored) Isnt he the crazy immortal with the guns? Trust me, you dont want to tangle with him in a bar fight.

Hermit Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Re: WWIYCL? Living Among Giants What some 'normals' might say about Gaze "El Ojo? #$#$ yeah, dude is scary. I made the mistake of playing look out for my cousin and his friends while they planned a heist. Next thing I know, this voice speaks with no body attached, saying something like out of Poe or some #$#$. The rest is a blur, but apparently we all turned ourselves in. When I got out of jail, I STAYED out."- Pablo J. Garcia, former criminal, now grocery store worker "They say he's a hero, but frankly, I don't see how anyone with that sort of power can be trusted. He controls MINDS... people like that are a danger to our freewills. The government should do more about them...not that I'm prejudiced mind you, I'm just saying whatever one else is thinking" - Darcy Whittiker, Housewife and Data Entry agent "All I know is this, he and the other Saints saved our lives once... and I don't understand a damn thing he says" - Frank Daniels, Casino Employee "Gaze understands the darkness, he is one with it. His heart has known pain, and made that pain his strength. He reaches into the minds of others, and shares his soul with them... and they drift into their own darkness from the pain. So few understand the...hey, I wasn't done explaining about darkness. Come back here..." - Jenny 'Broken Nightengale' Winslow, Goth Girl "Yeah he's scary. I hope the ##%%#ing thugs in this town have to change their shorts. About time someone put the fear into those punks. Go Gaze!"- Ben Grubber, Sanitation Engineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, rich jerks get all the luck…wonder if he’s hittin’ that… quiet girls are tigers, ya know.” “I think she’s great example for young women and girls: brains are more important that looks or brawn. She’s helped in dozens of situations around Empire City without resorting her muscles and flaunting her bustline do it. I just wish she’d be more outspoken about women’s issues…” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
