Crouching Bacon

Say, paper, is your sister up for grab? Or do you already have something planned for her?

If it's you Fayfay, then anything's okay ;D

Nah, no plans, not really. By the way, if you noticed in the bio, Devon is the second son.

Make of that what you will.

WINcest!

Nice post Crouching Paper, Hidden Cut. Don't forget to add your CS to the INFO thread. =)

whoops, I forgot to post it there >_>

fixing it up, asap, naifu!~

The lands of Ishido were a great distance from Urvandel, but Devon Blanc was no stranger to being far from home. He drank in the newness of it all, excited by the prospect of opportunity and adventure. Even the darkness of night or the evil miasma in the air did little to dull his vigor. Devon urged his loyal steed on, a young stallion named Maximus, and entered the town, under the shadows of evening. It was not hard to find the inn and even a blind person would have difficulty missing the great man who was known as Lord Lucian Graves. He was a hero through and through, though time had worn him down. At the sight of this great man, Devon knew that he had found a kindred spirit—or at least he would like to think so.

He looked around at the various adventurers who had also answered the call to arms. They were formidable in their own right, dressed with various blades and armaments that promised pain to those who would stand against them. Yet Devon could not ignore the feeling that some of them lived outside the law; he shook his head to dismiss that thought. These lands were out of his jurisdiction, and the only enemies they should have are the beasts that threaten Ishido.

Devon decided to stay at the bar, buying all those who stayed a round of drinks. It was fortunate that Lord Graves and his Lady were gracious hosts. He approached them and introduced himself, then proceeded to ask a few questions.

“Greetings, Lord Graves! I am most honoured to make your acquaintance.” The youth raised a glass of dark beer in salute. “You can call me Devon. I am a soldier, and as such, I am always eager for tales of valor. So tell me, sir—what sort of beasts did you have to kill in that cursed tower, and just how did you survive them?”

Oh boy, I can already tell Tama's going to give Devon an aneurysm.

The next person is a soldier who has to convince his friends to run away with him and betray their commanding officer.

Hmm, might get into this one. But for now, a CS.

Are you still afraid of hyperactive children? The event sounds fun to me, must be really crowded~

well, less afraid, now i'm just wary XD

it was pretty fun, their energy can be contagious

but damn, my body hurt a lot after that day

It's always nice to have the characters interact and kinda pull things together. Before the GM tears things apart, of course.

it is also possible to be torn apart, together.

happy fun times yay

Helped out as a coordinator in one massive Christmas party for less fortunate kids. Thinking up games on the fly and making sure they were all having a good time was exhausting and terrifying (I partially did it to overcome my fear of hyperactive children), but well worth the effort.

You've got nice handwriting, joker o.o

You know you want to make a CS.

*3*

Thanks. lol I always thought it was a bit of a mess. >.<

 

Also, some kind of magic that just happened. And I posted a thing at the exact same time as CB. Never again will the likes of such an event be witnessed.

 

Oh, and Also-Also I added 'People' to the front page thing. There's a bit of info on some people including photos for the 3 NPCs who are with you guys right now.

Yep, witnessed that too. Is this part of the phenomena we're supposed to be wary of? >_>

Also, you update pretty damn quickly. Not that that's a bad thing.

Btw, call me paper, or bacon~

Happy birthday, DR. I do hope you get well soon.

I don't think I can add to this discussion as much as the previous posters have, but I'll reply.

I'm not complaining about manga characters having super powers and I'm not complaining about the fact that female characters being strong. I'm not even complaining about showing boobs and panties for male audience manga. But I am wondering why female characters are SYSTEMATICCALY portreyed as super powerful characters and male characters are SYSTEMATICALLY portrayed as pussies.

If it was one or two mangas of this genre from time to time, I wouldn't ask. I wouldn't even have noticed. But why has it become so massive that it has become almost the rule ?

I wonder exactly what it is that you mean by "systematic". Even if series do have what you call super powerful female characters, there usually are still male characters who are at par with them. Maybe they're not the protagonist, but they're still there.

And I don't think it's appropriate to call it a rule. A popular trope, if you must, but calling it a rule is going too far.

Hope is a vice
