You're right: None of them had the stones to go up to the grand Puba of Evil's home and call him out on his bullshit, then get in a fight that leaves said evil lord crippled for life, even at the cost of their own.


Fingolfin was the best elf, Feanor can blow his first-born status out his ass.

I don't think that's very fair. At least the Thalmor have SOME legitimacy to their ideas. And their plans might actually work.

...You know, this all started as a passing, lighthearted joke, and now I'm unsure where you're trying to go with this.

And yet, I have a feeling that asking you to clarify will only lead to the sort of trouble that nobody in the thread really wants to deal with.
 
Quick, moving on!

Here we have an excerpt from yesterday's We Band Of Buggered session, an AdEva game that me, @DocMatoi , @Miffychan and @Susano are part of.

For context, Arty is very similar in appearance to Kaworu - to the point where the similarity has been remarked upon when the two met:


Arty is also an emotionally repressed, angsty, broody, little soldier boy. In the session in question, Gabi was asked to describe Arty in a message, so she consults Arty. the following occurs:

Cast:
Me - Rin Ayanami
DocMatoi - Todd Hill
Miffychan - Arty Pierce
Zunomian (a non-SVer) - Gabi Alzo
Tsun - Captain Lorena Yosano

Article:
Arty: That brought Artemis up short.
Issues? He didn't have issues. At least not debilitating ones. He did his job. That was what was expected of him.
"...I...don't know." A nonplussed blink.

Rin: "Asocial. Brooding. Violent tendencies." Rin chirped.

Gabi: "You okay with that, Arty?"

Arty: "..." Grumble. "...not asocial. Disciplined." "...brooding sounds like...cheap young adult romance novel protagonist."

Rin: Rin stopped dead. "Oh my fuck, you are."

Arty: "...I'm what?"

Gabi: "he's better now but he was nearly a robot when we first met him. the program just taught him to kill and feel less than-" And now she was giggling. "Rin, oh my God!"

Rin: "You are a cheap young adult romance novel protag!"

Arty: ...if looks could kill, Rin would have left in a basket.

Todd: "Arty, for a month after you got here, you regularly checked your bed for c4."

Rin: She burst out in laughter, falling back - into Todd's lap, mercifully.

Todd: Todd just let her, absentmindedly running his hands through her hair as she lay there.

Rin: "I- I can't- that's too funny!"

Gabi: She was laughing harder now. It made her lungs throb how much she was laughing.

Arty: Yeah, Artemis was looking very mutinous right now.

Gabi: "He is though...and he did. That's...ahahahahaha."

Arty: "...just because I'm the only one concerned for potential explosive infiltrations..."

Rin: "He's even pale and lithe! Arty's a Cullen!"

Arty: And Lord bear witness, he crossed his arms and puffed out his cheeks a bit. ... Okay, that got a slice of pizza thrown at Rin's head. Splat.

Rin: Rin only guffawed harder, ignoring the slice.

Gabi: "OH MY FUCKING GOD. NOOOOOO! AHAHAHAA! NOOOO!"

Rin: "He's even got a matching sibling! The shitty vampire pervs are real!"

Arty: Okay, everyone was gettin' death glares. Captain too.

Rin: Sitting up, Rin began curiously looking around. "Hmm. Odd. Shouldn't everything be blue then?"

Arty: As a note, Rin had a pizza slice stuck to her hair right now. Tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni sinking in. Like a particularly oozy hat.

Yosano: The Captain cleared her throat. "We should focus on the task at hand."

Todd: Todd, with his hands in her hair, was working at getting it out.

Gabi: "Right, right."

Rin: "Hmm... I think I might have seen Arty even sparkle once or twice..."

Arty: Grumble. "...sleeping on the couch tonight."

So... with this in mind... should Rei start wearing thick leather collars? :V

Why the hell is he wearing a blue beret with the SAS emblem on it?

It was his dad's, who was in the SAS.

I will now proceed to crush this little hope spot by informing you that Arty has nonetheless received extensive spec ops training and indoctrination from a young age since his father died.
 
Yeah, but that's the thing. The uniform beret worn by SAS personnel is a sort of yellowish brown, not blue.
 
That's a case of personal preference over fidelity. His No. 8 PCS-CU is in the usual light beige SAS colors, as is his belt; I just made his beret a faded light blue so as to add some color when art was done of him.

If it ever came up, I just planned to handwave it as 'it got thrown in the wrong laundry one day'. Not like he can get a replacement easily. :p

If you got $50, the artist who did that takes commissions

Maybe when I've actually got a job and I have plenty of monies to spare. Granted, I'm a student, but I appear to be the rare exception in that I'm careful with my finances.

But yeah, one day, I might well commission someone to draw the cast of Sovereignty...one day...
