💪 👍 🤙 🖕 for opportunity, alacrity, and cenotaph!

💪 - would your character be more likely to scoop someone up in their arms, or be the one getting scooped?

Opportunity - Tuni prefers to be scooped, just on her own terms. Unacceptable scooping leads to stabbing. I think under the correct circumstances she would do the scooping... though it would require someone to be smaller than her and she's canonically fairly short lol.

Alacrity - Alacrity takes after their mom in that they like to be scooped!! Love a big strong person to sweep them off their feet! Although a notable exception is their very best drift compatible friend Sebastiano. Alacrity absolutely sweeps him off of his feet. They have scooped him multiple times. They will scoop him again!!!

Cenotaph - Simply because he is eight feet tall, Cen so very rarely gets scooped. Cen LOVES to be scooped. They often do the scooping though, and are happy to do it.

👍 - what (if any) is a good, safe touch for your character?

Opportunity - Considering how paranoid and prickly she can be... safest touch for Tuni is just a hand on her shoulder. If you're one of her various paramours, she will accept a hand hold/squeeze or lower back touch

Alacrity - THIS CREATURE CRAVES ALL TOUCH CONSTANTLY. ALL TOUCH GOOD.

Cenotaph - Cen is happy with all touch. Due to his height, a hand rested on their forearm is always comforting.

🤙 - how does your character's relationship with touch change if they get tipsy or otherwise chemically unbalanced?

Opportunity - Depends wholly on who she is with. Probably gets more friendly with the few companions she trusts. Definitely gets more touchy with her paramours.

Alacrity - Boundaries who? They keep themselves in check with strangers, but Alacrity is draped over/wrapped around/leaning against people when they are sober. This Gets Worse As Sobriety Leaves.

Cenotaph - Probably not a huge difference, but a little more free with touch and affection.

🖕 - someone touches your character in a way that's rude or that they just don't like (i.e. shoves past them, etc). what do they do?

Opportunity - Depending on the offense and how much of a dick the offender is, consequences can range from Swift Death to Get Tripped Idiot to I've Orchestrated Your Week So You Step On A Lego Every Day

Alacrity - Loud callout, and possibly a fight.

Cenotaph - KILLING YOU WITH MY MIND.

can you believe 3/4 of this was done at school yesterday

[cantsayidont]

April 1985 to January 1987. One half of the pseudonymous "Jack McKinney" who wrote the prose ROBOTECH novels, Brian Daley is probably best known for his trio of delightful Han Solo novels, first published in 1979–1980, and for scripting the NPR radio adaptations of the STAR WARS movies. However, he also wrote a bunch of original sci-fi and fantasy novels, including this entertaining mid-'80s trilogy about the misadventures of Hobart Floyt and Alacrity Fitzhugh (a pseudonym, although his real name isn't revealed until the third book).

Centuries in the future, Hobart Floyt is a low-level functionary in the administrative bureaucracy of the oppressive Earth government. When he's unexpectedly named in the will of Caspahr Weir, the ruler of a minor but very wealthy interstellar empire (whom Floyt has never met), Earthservice decides Floyt must attend the reading of the will, expecting to confiscate whatever bequest he might receive. Since Floyt is a sheltered Terran who's never even contemplated going off-world, Earthservice coerces Alacrity, a young part-alien "breakabout" (starship crewman for hire), into becoming his guide. Thus begins a series of picaresque adventures through the diverse, colorful worlds beyond closed and xenophobic Earth. The first book focuses mostly on our heroes' journey to Weir's throne world, Epiphany, and the many ways they almost get killed prior to the Willreading. The second book deals with Floyt and Alacrity attempting to actually collect Floyt's inheritance — a starship to which Weir has left him title, but not actual possession — and figure out why Weir left it to him in the first place. The final volume shifts focus to Alacrity's quixotic quest to become the captain of the White Ship, a fabulously advanced starship intended to search for the secrets of an ancient alien race called the Precursors, which is also an object of fascination for Floyt and Alacrity's bitterest enemy: Dincrist, the father of the woman Alacrity falls in love with in the first book.

Anyone who enjoys Daley's Han Solo novels will probably also like these books, which are similar in tone and style: droll, action-packed romps starring two likable schmoes who spend a lot of their time running for their lives, with richly detailed settings full of exotic alien creatures and engaging if rather two-dimensional characters. These novels' literary merits are modest, but Daley's object was lighthearted pulp fiction, as evidenced by an amusingly self-reflexive subplot in the second and third books: Our heroes' friend Sintilla, a freelance journalist, starts publishing a series of extremely popular penny dreadful novels starring heavily fictionalized versions of Floyt and Alacrity (without their knowledge or approval) in wild adventures even more outrageous than their real ones. This soon makes the real Alacrity and Floyt inconveniently notorious — leavened slightly by the fact that the handsome male models depicted on Sintilla's book jackets look nothing like them!

(Ironically, this is also true of the covers of more recent editions of these books. Darrell K. Sweet's covers for the original Del Rey paperbacks, shown above, are reasonably close to how the characters are described in the text — although the gawks they're riding on the cover of the third book are all wrong — but the current versions aren't even within walking distance of the right ballpark.)

My new OC Alacrity for our upcoming DragonLords campaign! They have the Lost One epic path and were shipwrecked and almost drowned, and they are most assuredly Fine and Completely Unscathed by that.

I was really proud of this one!

Not for use or reposting, thankyou!

[devildaisies]

A little lacey I doodled a while ago

[anneisalwaysangry]

so I had my theoretical necromancer DnD PC, who helped exorcise (some of) my grad school demons

I really want to either bring her to another campaign, or play another academic PC (school of scribes wizard?) because I'm doing this project for school that's "write a policy manual for a fake library" and my group set it in a dnd-inspired fantasy world and I'm having way too much fun making up fake in-universe journals and books to cite from

(we're also the only group in class doing an archive and we're going HOG WILD. It makes some things more difficult but it's also giving us a lot more leeway because "a wizard did it" is a valid excuse here)
