I need advice on RPing the edgiest possible 2fast4u type rogue character. I've got most the character figured out, but I need to think up some throwaway lines to say like when killing stuff, taking damage, or whatever.
Kindly post anything inspirational you can think of, pic related
>>47596023
Dear god the edge. I hope somebody saved that kid before he cut himself on it and bled out.
As to the OP: Just be that.
>>47596074

>>47596023
Make throwaway puns at everything, and slap people on the back jovially when they make a good point.
>>47596023
>Obligatory
"Nuthin personal, kid."
"Psssh, weak!"
"You've got no chance."
>When hurt
"Ugh, no!"
"I should've...trained...harder"
Alternatively, just read this.
>>47596074
Is this seriously the first time you've heard of Coldsteel?

Say nothing. If someone asks why, respond with "Talking's for friends, and I don't have any."

Yeah firs time. I know about edgy sonic roleplayers in general though.
Troll opinion or not, Space Marines are maybe the edgiest thing in 40k and on /tg/.
The problem is that being a Saturday morning cartoon villain or sadomasochism fetishism isn't really how you get edgy nonsense; you make an unrepentant anti-hero with contrived methods of success and basically every combination of edgy buzzwords.
>ANGELS OF DEATH
>FLESH TEARERS
>BLOOD ANGELS
>IT IS BETTER TO DIE FOR THE EMPEROR THAN LIVE FOR YOURSELF
These are all the calling cards of the edge. If /co/ can admit Judge Dredd is edge lord central you can accept the same for its derivative.
>>47596949
There's actually a lot of contention about whether or not it's a parody.
Mostly because it says Coldsteel likes the band Nine-Inch Nails, but apparently hates lead songwriter Trent Reznor.
>>47596023
>The weak should fear the strong,

Fucking Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat had to make everything awkward. Shadow allowed copycat hedgehogs and edgy characters. Rouge awakened the sex drive and made it okay for Sonic OCs to be reasonably attractive.
>>47596023
Remember anon, lots of blood. You need lots of blood. So you better start having millions of periods all over the place.

The worst part about Kai Leng is that the Player will easily kick his ass in game but cutscenes save him every time.
>>47597028
What the fuck are those pants?
>>47597097
Honestly, Kai Leng is like a textbook example of everything you should avoid when creating a recurring villain for the party.
>>47597133
What, your skintight pants don't have airflow windows where the pockets would be?
>>47597097
Everyone just went on and on about how badass he was and how we had to watch out or he would teleport behind us wand unsheathe katana or some shit and he was super hard to kill.
>Fails to assassinate anyone on the council. Gets fought off by a terminally ill Drell. Completely and irrevocably ruins any future chance for Cerberus to take control of the council.
>Fails to kill Miranda despite dropping out of an air vent onto her and having every advantage
>Out numbers Shepard and friends 30 to 1 and has an attack helicopter. Shepard and friends kill all of his friends, beat up the helicopter and slap him from one side of cathedral to other and back again. Leng survives because the building fell down on top of Shepard. Still manages to fail at killing Shapard.
>On home turf, Outnumbers Shepard and friends 30 to 1 not counting the army of his dudes we had to get through first, keeps getting regenerated from environment. Goes to sneak attack Shepard from behind whilst Shepard is fucking around with computer. Gets stabbed to death by Shepard who didn't even have to get out of the chair.
Was this meant to be a comedy character?
>>47597142
You hit the nail exactly on the head.
I ran a Mass Effect RPG where the recurring villain only became one because the party spared her the first time around. The second time, she ambushed them after a particular tough battle and kidnapped the party leader. Every roll was made right there on the table.
>>47597267
I'd love to watch Thane in his prime beat Leng like a redheaded stepchild.
>>47597294
It would probably not be that entertaining.
A very brief flurry of action and then Leng falls over dead with blood pouring out of his mouth.
Assuming Thane didn't just sniper rifle him from 2 miles away.
>>47596155
...How is that edgy again?
You must refer to the 70 year old wizard as 'kid'.
Never show your face ever, even when it makes complete sense to do so.
Parents dead.
Wield katana, or katana like blade. Even if it is not a katana mechanics wise, you will refer to it as a katana.
Never feel any pain, it's always tolerable.
Anything you do not have or are unable to obtain is for the weak and is a sign of weakness.
>>47596652
Jesus fuck, I can't believe someone at bioware actually thought he was cool
OP here, this all good shit.
>>47597528
Katana would've been great, but I decided to dual wield parrying daggers instead
>>47597570
Have one strapped to your back, a familiy heirloom.
>>47597595
Make it a point never to unsheath the katana unless someone "truly deserves it."
>>47597637
>I can only sheath it when it draws blood.
>>47597637
But make just about everyone "truly deserve it" because "everyone is evil and this world is hell"
>>47597595
>>47597637
>>47597637
fucking kek, I build him to a be a dagger specialist, but that's too perfect
>>47597637
Always remember to teleport behind people.
>>47597660
Nah, it's gotta be one of those "intentional handicap" gimmicks. He only draws the katana if he truly thinks it worth his time and effort to kill you with it.
>I've not had to draw it in years. Yet it still cries out for blood. I wonder if you could sate such a starving blade.
>>47597669
Remember to drone on about how perfect the blade is and how you are so sick of this masterwork longsword bullshit.
>>47597526

>>47597699
I was trying to give it an aspect of him being super pissy at the world, but your idea does make more sense for an edgy character than mine does
>>47596023
>>47597267
>Fails to kill Miranda despite
IIRC that only happens if you 1)romance her in ME2 and 2)Decide to keep the relationship going when she shows up and asks about it.
>>47597294
Thane is a perfect example of how you can make an "edgy" character cool. He's like sci-fi Altair.
>>47598060
Isn't Reaper an intentional parody?
>>47598174
I never romanced her and saw it on the security footage at Sanctuary.
>>47598194
Huh. I did romance her and then called it off in 3 because I figured Shepard had bigger things to worry about. Then KL nuthin personnel'd her two thirds of the way in.
Don't play a traditionally edgy race (like a drow), instead play something unexpected (say a halfling) with an angsty backstory.
>>47596968
mods, purge this heretic please
>>47597669
Flavour his daggers to be tanto or whatever the Japanese tiny swords are.
Depending on the type of edge you want, you can either go for the assassin's hood or the trench coat. Either way, lots of layers and leather.
>>47598174
Yea. Thane is the hero edgelords should try to be instead of over the top edge.
If you're ever bored and want a laugh, just browse some RPoL games for edgemastters.
>>47598496

>>47598569

>>47598174
I find it funny how Altair, Ezio, Haytham, Connor and Edward were all very non-edgy characters.
>>47598637
Connor toed the line, but I chalk that up to a combination of his native heritage and the possibility he legitimately had autism.
But you're right, for a bunch of people who were famous members of what is essentially a death cult, none of the PC assassin's ever reached edgelord status.
>>47598637
>Ezio was just a very angry young man seeking to avenge his family
>"Requiescat in pace" is an edgelord calling card line
>>47598766
Ezio was a Trickster at heart as evidenced by the vast majority of his behavior.
"Requiescat in pace" literally means "Rest in Peace" and when the Assassins say it they are genuinely wishing their targets a peaceful rest in the afterlife which is the exact opposite of what an edgelord would do.
>>47598758
Connor was DEFINITELY autistic. Amazing tactical and combative knowledge, but he was completely shit in social situations and couldn't plan for the long term at all.
>>47598174
I romanced Tali in ME2, and Miranda survived KL. But, I also did her loyalty mission, so... I dunno.
>>47598766
See now you're starting to touch on the real hart of the edgelord problem. Which is they take a lot of things which are cool, or even just innocuous when done by a certain character they like, and apply it completely out of context or in a manner which is just grating.
"Requiescat in pace" is part of Ezio's flair. He's a chatty fellow and that phrase is just him dropping a common phrase in a period-appropriate language. It's just him expressing typical Assassin rhetoric about how any ill will he has towards his target doesn't transcend the current life.
Edgelords miss the mark, and see it as more of a boast. It's the same shit as "nothin' personal, kid". It's the superior fighter expressing a sort of disdain towards the person with weaker skill and training. Like the edgelord character always knew victory was a given.
A lot of behavior we associate with edgelord characters feels completely normal and almost cool when applied to better-written ones. Look at almost any Harrison Ford character and you'll see behavior which in almost any other circumstance we'd call edgy.
>>47597554
I still can't believe they thought the storysome asshole wrote on a napkinwas cool
>>47598377
Funny how 40kids think criticizing their game in a relevant thread is a bannable offense.
Psssh, kiddo... edge isn't something you can aspire to, either you've got it or you don't.
>>47598992
Nasu is that you?
>>47599079
are you baiting or just autistic? He was clearly just joking
>>47598904

>But, I also did her loyalty mission
I did too. I guess it only happens if you romanced her in 2 and then rejected her in 3.

I once made an NPC in a supers game. the whole point of him was to be edgy to a joke
he looked exactly like pic related but whith black sun glasses
His power was any gun he touched immediatly transformed into a double barrel version, as well as having *teleports behind you* tier shit sometimes.
damn, i should GM again, that was fun.
>>47596345
Would've been very disappointing if Shepard just ignored it.
>>47599361
>>47598904
>>47598174
As far as I know, the requirements for her survival is completing her ME2 loyalty mission and to forewarn her about Kai Leng (after reading his dossier).
(also Tali romance best romance)
>>47596023
Unless it's already set, your last name should be mashed together from what I call the "Liefeld phonemes". Blood, doom, dark, kill, shot, dead, death, gun, fist, you get the idea.
As for things to say:
>I'm beyond saving.
>I'll teach you to mess with (token character created solely to be killed)!
>I don't believe in forgiveness.
And quote nü metal lyrics like it's badass.
>I'll cut your life into pieces!
>>47599361
Correct. Though I'm pretty sure she also dies if she's not loyal.
Tangent: anyone else think Miranda would've made a great Spectre? Her ability set kicks ass, she can lead a team, she exposed Cerberus's top-secret plan while they were trying to hunt down her, specifically.
>>47597294
I always wanted Leng to have a run in with Samara, just so we could watch the little DMPC fuckball get curbstomped.
>>47598496
So, angsty Aoshi from Kenshin?
>>47604160
Sorry but I can't imagine kissing a girl who breathes chlorine.
>>47604386
I can't really see it. She's got the physical and mental capabilities but she never seemed all that interested in getting her hands dirty. Unless it involved her sister.
>>47596023
Start by doing herbs (drugs) and work yourself up (down) from there.
>>47596023
If you're playing them for comedy you've already failed.
Edge is when you do all this shit and expect to be taken 100% seriously. No humor at all. You are deep, mysterious, and cool. You are the most mature player at the table and if someone else makes fun of your character that just proves how childish they are.
Be 14 again.
>>47597097
I've decided that Kai Leng's implants don't actually increase his reflexes or strength any. Instead, they're nano-fabricators that dispense a cloud of nanites into that air around him, rendering everybody who breathes them in mentally retarded. That's why, in every cutscene he's in, Shepard and all his allies suddenly become totally useless.
>>47598174
He may or may not be parody. Even if he isn't, the other characters are just as silly and over-the-top as he is so it isn't like he sticks out very much.
I mean, McRee even has BAMF carved into his belt buckle.
>>47604441
She said she would've just lead the mission to the Collector Base herself, but the Illusive Man wanted Shepard. In a bit of dialogue when you talk to her early on in ME2. If I'm remembering right. Plus she volunteers to be both the tech expert and the biotic expert (ill-advised as those both would be).
I kinda get what you mean, that she comes off as superior, but she's there holding the line with everyone else.
>>47604386
I feel like she has the right skillset, but as a character, she just ceased to impress me so utterly that I wouldn't want to give her the special treatment.

He's never treated like a comedic relief character as far as the actual storytelling is concerned, but he does get mocked relentlessly by pretty much everyone else in-game for being an edgelord. Honestly I think that's a pretty good direction to go with him.
>>47605357
The story takes him seriously, but the other heroes don't?
>>47605366
He's as tough as anyone else in the cast and its not like he trips over banana peels for comedic effect or anything, he just acts like his typical edgelordy self while doing villain stuff and other characters occasionally make snide comments about it.
Make an asshole with a grimdark backstory and turn it up past ten. Also make sure any flaws are actually positive qualities(e.g., vampires) or that they are only flaws by proxy of their terrible awesomeness.
Always bear in mind that this is not about exploring a character, it's about wish fulfillment. Edgy 12 year olds are edgy because they want to rebel against societies rules and conventions without any understanding of what they are rebelling against.

> has a tragic backstory
> has tattoos
>totally dark and evil

>>47605052
>"You're pretty good."
>>47607133
It does now. It has for a couple of years.
People make words, the internet is a lot of people.
I tried to play a really edgy wood elf who always wanted to just kill shit and otherwise spent all his time brooding alone.
Ended up being the party dad; mentoring the other PCs and taking them on hunting trips and shit.
>>47605052
Don't agree with the "when injured". Too many compliments. My suggestions:
>"I tested your strength. NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS!"
>"Bleeding only makes me stronger."
>"You will suffer..."

>>47608011
It's missing "dislikes trent raznor". Little details y'know?
>>47597267
I always assumed he was a sort of running gag character.
Like that dude you meet in the first game who spends his life idolizing and trying to be Commander Shepard. A joke character and mockery of all the super serious weeaboo fightan magic ninja characters.
And that would have been fine and quite funny if it had been the case. But the way the others spent the entire game sucking his reputation cock and generally worshiping the ground he walked on was a little too far.
He spent his career that we saw getting bitch slapped by The Shepard, surviving by luck and dying like a little bitch.
The letter was just stupid.
>>47608109
Well I mean... it's a very common layout. When you have that kind of space restriction there's only so many variants you can have.
I came here just to post this.
He doesn't follow a religion and he constantly derides and calls into question the intelligence of those who do, and have him assume everyone he meets is religious
>>47608458
If he was a running gag character he wouldn't have killed one of the most likable characters from ME2
>>47608560
>He doesn't follow a religion and he constantly derides and calls into question the intelligence of those who do, and have him assume everyone he meets is religious
I have a friend who's exactly like that. I've taken numerous region classes at university, specialized in political theory and cultural studies, and I went to catholic school when I was in my edgy nihilist phase. I know enough about religion to make an informed choice about my personal beliefs. His response is always some long winded pseudo-relativistic diatribe about the futility of existence and the meaningless of whatever. He's a freaking business major, but acts like he's king atheist, lord of dick mountain. The worst part is, I generally agree with him, but I'd prefer to live a happy delusion then some edgy fag factory because one option is clearly more socially productive than the other.
>>47607981
Yes, that is how language actually works. It's a process of evolution, pushed by the communication different ideas in different peoples brains.
And 'nobody agrees' is clearly an overstatement, since the majority of people in this thread seem to know what we're talking about.
>>47608592
Exactly what I'm saying.
Its like one person or group of people made a joke character, then another group got hold of it, tried to adapt it into a srs bzzns character and shoehorned him into a story that had no room for him. Killing Thane was just slapping the [insert cheap drama here] button in the laziest possible manner.
From a story point of view removing Leng and letting Thane die of his illness would have not impacted the story one jot.
OP again. Thought I'd share what my l33t paint skills had made so far.

People always call me edgy when I say the Holocaust was massively exaggerated for the sake of victimhood dollar$ and that the jews honestly earned their place in the prison camps.
I also get called edgy for saying that negroes and women should be domesticated to serve the white man, instead of being given freedom to chimp or cunt up the place.
I'm not sure what "edgy" means but apparently these two things count.
>>47608887
It's from /a/.
>>47608983
You're saying them because they're contrarian and shocking, hence edgy, because a rational person doesn't need to say things like that in public conversation. It's like talking about your sick slipknot hoodie and that really gory horror movie you like; you only get away with that if other people are already edgelords.
>>47609046
>You're saying them because they're contrarian and shocking, hence edgy,
Oh that makes sense. Being contrarian and shocking is pretty much the definition of edgy.
But that's not why I'm saying them, I'm saying them 'cause I believe them.
and fuck what you "need to say ... in public conversation". The rules of public conversaion are A. A meme, and B. Normie shit. Let babbys get butthurt, imo.
>>47596023
right so what you gotta do is look at the works of Todd Mcfarlane and try your best to ape that. other good sources include Shadow the hedgehog, Reaper from Overwatch, and Varg Vikernes.

>>47596968
Judge Dredd isn't even close to edge.
>>47609587
Dredd is pretty blatant parody. It doesn't take itself anywhere near seriously. Actual edge is characterised by being extremely serious and playing itself completely straight.

This is edgy. Its not about your personal beliefs, its about the inability to control yourself from attempting to assert them in conversations they don't belong in. Its essentially social autism, being unable to take proper social cues or function normally.

I understand where you're coming from anon, but I've always thought that much like grimdarkness, anything in the 40K universe is essentially a parody of itself.

How serious could it possibly be?

Okay, here we go. There are different flavors of edge nowadays.
Pride Edge:
1) Whenever a villain does something really evil, be unaffected by how evil that is. Don't show any negative emotion. In fact, show amusement. Bonus points for critiquing the villain and trying to one-up him, telling him how someone *competent* (you) would have done it.
2: Always remember: nobody, especially not the villain, can faze you. You are above everyone and everything they can possibly do.
3. It's not enough to call other people "kid." You have to really mean it. Especially if you're younger than them. It's not about age, it's about experience, and you've got the *edge* in both on them.
4) Whenever anyone beats you for any reason, they didn't really beat you.
5) If the person you're talking to is weaker than you, mock him for his weakness. If he's stronger than you, mock him for relying too much on power and imply you can beat him through skill.
6) The more words you use on someone, the more of your precious time they've wasted.
Rage Edge:
1) YOU ARE ALWAYS ANGRY ALL THE TIME! IF SOMETHING ISN'T PISSING YOU OFF YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
2) EVERYONE ELSE IS EITHER AS ANGRY AS YOU AT EVERYTHING OR ELSE THEY ARE A FAGGOT.
3) YOU POINT YOUR ANGER AT THE ENEMY BECAUSE IT IS PRODUCTIVE BUT YOU DON'T BOTHER SUPPRESSING YOUR RAGE AROUND NORMAL PEOPLE, NPCS, AND OTHER GOOD GUYS BECAUSE THEY ARE FAGGOTS.
4) ALL DIPLOMACY MUST INVOLVE KILLING SOMEONE ON THE ENEMY SIDE.
4A) ANYONE YOU USE DIPLOMACY ON IS AN ENEMY.
4B) NPC FAGGOTS CAN AVOID THIS BY BEING SUFFICIENTLY SUBMISSIVE TOWARDS YOU.
5) YOU DO NOT COMPROMISE EVER.
Usually it's a mixture of both, because there's a lot of overlap. I think the most common thing is to act like a Pride on the surface, while the RAGE drives the "subconscious." Or something like that.

>40k used to be much more satire
40k has never been satire. I know that might be hard to stomach since the old art and miniatures looked kind of goofy and 1d4chan likes to harp on about how kooky and random it is, but RT was made by people who thought rapid fire explosive machineguns and giant disintegration cannons were fuckin' rad.
>>47609779

>>47613038
It isn't a Sonic clone. I mean, other than also being highly autistic. The gameplay mechanics are lifted from Rocket Knight/Sparkster.
>>47616538
Most of the silliness is intentional. This doesn't make it "satire", though.
>>47598060
The only reason I came to this thread was to see how long it took for someone to post a pic of Reaper. I was not disappointed. (And he's my main character too, dammit.)
>>47618433
You have my empathy, as I too have experienced the misfortune of being good at "the edgy character/class" in a game.
At least it teaches you how to deal with all the baddies who pick your role.
>>47605052
>"I am the strongest."
>>47615711
That makes a lot of sense, that there's a sliding scale of edge.
>>47604435
It's okay because Aoshi reaches 9/10 on the cold steel scale.
"these scars... only prove my strength..."
then cut yourself
>>47597528
>Never show your face ever, even when it makes complete sense to do so.
In addition to this, wear a mask under your mask. So if someone tries to unmask you, your face is still covered.
>>47615711
...as someone who regularly plays MOBAs, I can quite imagine how Pride Edge would drive the other players into teeth-grinding insanity.
>>47597570
Make sure you always refer to them as sword-breakers, and roll to break your enemy's swords in combat.
>>47596023
I'd say this is pretty edgy.
>>47608109
Shit that looks like mine but brighter on the inside
>>47597267
>Gets stabbed to death by Shepard who didn't even have to get out of the chair.
And somehow this act of baddass self defense is considered a Renegade choice. Goddammit Bioware.
>>47621025
Jesus Christ I hope whatever fourteen year old that wrote that got help. That's more than just a vivid imagination; that looks like a fantasy to me. What the fuck
>>47621025
Well this is just all over the place.
>>47621582
daily reminder:
>LIBERAL IS GOOD
>CONSERVATIVE IS BAD
Bioware games in a nutshell.
>>47618558
And the worst part is I still really like the Grim Reaper aesthetic, and I think I'm the only who doesn't count that against him.
>>47604458
>Be 14 again.
I've never had the urge to do anything like that. Ever.
Not that i didn't do cringy shit at 14, but being edgy was not among them.
>>47621625
A work of fiction does not indicate the mental state of the creator. Besides, that's not even bad. Not by any stretch of the imagination. The typos and terrible grammar are what bother me.
>no darks
>tfw now it's actually cool to be a good guy because everyone is a cunt killa
At least no one will ever ruin less popular monsters like goblins, gnolls, ogres, kobolds and shit because they suck or something.Right?
>>47597097
>Vanguard
>Teleport up to Kai in the chase on Citadel, literally running right next to him and waiting for him to pass me by so I can move on because for some reason I can't just shoot his fag fucking face
>Literally beat him without taking a single hit in the fight on Thessia, but for some reason I can't Vanguard up to him in the chopper during the cutscene because Bioware a shit
>he's literally a fucking joke to me, but the cutscenes make him out to be anything less than a completely incompetent retard
>I was playing on the highest difficulty and I found Husks more threatening than that goober
Kai Leng is literally the worst villain of all time
>>47598174
Thane was fucking awesome considering how mediocre the rest of ME2 was.
Sci-fi Altaïr is pretty accurate yeah, post-Al-Mualim-kill
>>47621582
>Not playing Renegon/Paragade
>Not taking every single Interrupt regardless of BLUE/RED DEEP MORAL CHOICE prompt
Mass Effect 2 was a much better game when you played Shepard as a reasonable human being. ME3 kinda flopped in that regard, to my recollection
>>47599279
What does that nipnog have to do with Mass Effect, or are we talking about a different terrible writer?
>>47596968
>he thinks calling the game for which /tg/ coined the term 'Grimdark' "edgy" is a controversial opinion
It being so hilariously edgy is the charm
>>47616538
it used to be self-aware and tongue-in-cheek, but yeah, 40k used to embrace that while super fucking cheesy, it was also metal as fuck
Noting that it's silly is just an excuse to whole-heartedly embrace the mania
OP, what you want is to interview a 13-year old about what they think is really fucking badass and cool.
Do that.
There's edgy for you.
The reason we laugh at edge and disparage it is because we all used to be the edge
>>47598569
I feel calling Thane an edgelord is being unfair. He's just ACTUALLY edgy as in he's straddling the edge of morality and normal behaviour.
Anyone who kills people for a living (where that aspect isn't downplayed) will be edgy in the sense of pushing the boundaries
>>47596023
>>47596023
Describe your weapon as "like a katana, only better". Refuse to give any further explanation.
>>47604386
Great? Probably not, she's nominally a leader but she's not actually particularly competent.
She's been trained to be a perfect officer but that's just made her a modern major general.
Spectres are the elite of the elite and they manage their own business. Miranda doesn't strike me as someone who can shut the books and get shit done her own way.
>>47596968
40k as a whole is edgy. Every facet of it is edgy in a different fashion.
>>47623573
This. Miranda has all of Liara's bookish tendencies without any of her cold ruthlessness.
Jack derisively called her a cheerleader, I think that sums up her personality really well. I can see Miranda as a capable diplomat or even a spy, but don't think she has the chutzpah to be a Spectre.
>>47596968
The only reason they wind up coming across as so particularly edgy is because the company seems to have convinced themselves in the last decade that they're unambiguous good guys. The franchise works as a battle of the damned, where nobody can come out of it unsullied (if anyone indeed survives at all). The moment you treat it otherwise is the moment the whole thing collapses in on itself.

Actual characters are only moderately less cringe enduing than these horrible OCs
>>47629550
Nobody played Freedom Planet for the plot.
>>47596023
The edgiest don't have time to waste on lines. Start with one or two word insults, and only build up from there when it gets boring. Out of breath characters would use gestures.
>>47629586
>Lilac is believed to be the last water dragon in existence. She is known for her unique fighting style of cutting through foes with her twin ponytails. She was trained at a young age by the Red Scarves, but left their ranks in order to find her place in life. Although she has grown more reserved throughout her battles, she still has a big heart and will jump at the chance to help her friends.
This is not okay.

My favorite part of this image is the fact that he's got NIN under likes, and Trent Reznor under dislikes.
>people suggesting katanas as weapon
Pff, obviously he uses a katakana, which is the next evolutionary step of the katana.
>>47630852
See, this is a good example of how just being overconfident doesn't make you edgy.
Scout might be a trash talking prick, but he's no edgemaster.

No, Drop Bears are a myth made up by Australians to fuck with tourists.
>>47636738
Drop Spiders and Drop Snakes are bad enough on their own.
>>47631359
Nobody played it for the plot.
The devs just put a lot of plot in for the players to skip through.

>There's a significant amount of fanfiction based on Freedom Planet on fanfiction.net
>>47618433
it is the common pain of all Reaper Mains
>>47636738
From what I understand though, a lot of Aussies do think Koalas are a nuisance because they have a tendency to climb power line poles and chew on the wires. Removing them is a pain, because they do have pretty nasty claws and don't like getting manhandled.
>>47638594
Why don't they just shoot the koala?
>>47641515
The 100% American answer.
>>47596968
Pffff. That's actually pretty funny. Mate, have you ever heard of these guys called Chaos Space Marines?
Seriously though like >>47626762 said, they're mostly giant fanatic sociopaths. No good guys here.
>>47597028
>>47623196
It's pretty obvious that Shepard is supposed to be a Soldier and the game is based around that. Every other class breaks all the challenges.

I'm telling you, man. Sonic Adventure 2 was a milestone in the Sonic franchise. Some milestones more admirable than others.
>>47621025
This didn't seem too bad until it got to the bit about hunting "undesirable populations", at which point it got weird. Really fucking weird.

winning boss fights you're supposed to lose are so awkward
i still remember a guy in one of the PS1 yugioh games who's supposed to beat you because he has better cards than you but my buddy used a game shark to get better cards to beat him and when he did the guy basically keeps challenging you to games until he beats you.

40k marines are what happen when you take Dune's Sardaukar, slap some vague feudal knight aesthetic so that you can justify selling more figurines, and then pile every tired supersoldier cliche on top
>>47597097
is he at least harder with a non imported character & no DLC?
i always figured the reason why i tore him a new asshole across the galaxy was because i was playing a maxed out solider that went through ME 1 & 2 and had the javik DLC which comes with an OP assault rifle that me & every squad member that could wield it had equipped.
>>47596949

>>47596968
>This guy is right tho.
>>47649544
I think I've just figured out what Kai Leng is.
He is the DMs weeaboo 13 and a half years old brother.
The one who wrote his characters backstory to be as "epic" as possible without taking into consideration the levels of his character or the characters around him
It's like writing a character whose heir to an ancient and empowering bloodline, top grades at the Assassin Guild School that he got in to on scholarship, powered up by making kickass deals with the devil and is a world renowned assassin of kings and slayer of dragons. Campaign starts at level 1.
But because he's brother to the DM he got all the NPCs to big up his never before mentioned backstory achievemnts and it works really well until you meet him and the numbers and dice don't lie and you slap the ever loving shit out of him. DM then saves him by circumstance. DM's Weeb brother pulls shit eating grin.
Eventually the DM gets sick of his shit and removes the plot armour and the weeb gets stabbed in the ribs.
>>47650083
Eh.
I read it as an inexperienced DM thought he was making a really cool recurring rival villain, then swung fucking wide.
Talking up some hero killer villain, then seeing him get trounced and save him by fiat is something new GMs do all the time.
Good thread
>>47596023
>how to make characters that are edgy
don't
>character doesn't care about PCs
PCs are expendable
character doesn't try to advertise it and give away his shot at cheap labor
character doesn't hide it he has more important things to do
>character is a business man
he has shit to do and just needs some one to get it done
punctual, professional, strait to the point, emotionless
takes every opportunity to it's fullest even if people get hurt
wont leave anything on the table
people are only worth how ever much they can make him
>character has an agenda
he will do what needs to be done, to get what needs to be done, done
doesn't shit around
has better things to do than what he hires the PCs to do
he has bigger plans than what the PCs are up to but he wants to keep them out of his business
really into politics and everyone in politics or has power knows about him but no one knows him
>cheap but effective
will travel a lot so light gear that is easily expendable
gear needs to be effective
gear needs to be common place and wont raise suspicions or easy to hide / throw away fast or descised as something common
PCs aren't his only hired help
>traverses with body guards in descise
if he needs to appear alone he will have them hide in the crowd or just out of sight

>>47626762
Right on anon. Space Marines stop being edge when you think about the fact that they lose a lot, they're kind of pathetic from an outside view, and they lack the sort of deliberately cynical amorality that makes the characters which inspired our friend Coldsteel so kewl in the first place.
Space Marines work because they *think* they're knights in shining armor, but they're actually abused child soldiers who have become brutal thugs for a genocidal authoritarian theocracy.They still save the day and can be heroic, though.
