#for the record im not really team either i just wanna see all the dragon ppl doom themselves and the nation

[namorian]

Team green ppl getting angry about them depicting aemond doing things in character for how he’s been written in the show and book is so funny

Also ppl getting angry about how the show isn’t like the book when the book is an in universe history book complied something like 75-100 years or so after the events based on various sources, most of whom would have ever had access to the kinds of scenes we see in the show is unbelievably funny.

Imagine getting like, sent back in time or w/e, and getting angry over how george washington or whoever the fuck doesn’t act like he does in that history textbook you like a lot.

We’ll see if this P2E game ever actually comes together but while talking about it i have come up with the character I would play.

While i have joined many different TTRPG groups the average group fizzles out after 2-3 months. From all these campaigns i have only ever played a kobold once for but two sessions. Shameful really

Long notes ahead about Bri the alchemist kobold

So for this i would absolutely play a kobold. At first i wanted to play a champion, the divine tank with a magic sword. A tall kobold (3.5 ft WOW) named Cannoli picked for ‘elite’ kobold training because she was above average in height, essentially picked for the basketball team just because. This ‘bold would then receive the best training and nutrition for what would be the squad leaders in the dragon Empyres army of kobolds, Empyre’s strategy is mostly throw enough kobolds at a problem to solve it. So this ‘bold is trained up to be the ideal warrior unquestioning of command and champions honor and duty. Not unintelligent but certainly not an academic education.

Thing is i like the idea of this proud, heavily armored kobold but im in a long running TTRPG where i play a himbo surfer and i want to do something more different from that.

Thus enter Cannoli’s sister. This bold is also considered tall (3.3 ft) but has a cosmetic effect like leucism meaning not true albino but has pigment loss from full piebald to only some patches. Because of this perceived defect this ‘bold is rejected and sent away for general labor. We talked and i liked the idea of kobolds being mainly used to fetch things for dragons like protect shipments of spices or wine.

So i thought it would be fun to have this ‘bold be a working at a vineyard crushing grapes. She would purposely stain her scales red to cover up the white patches on purpose. This would be a growth point later as she comes to terms with this kobold eugenics program the emypre is running. Under this dragon it has an unusually high hatchling survival rate but thats to just have more live kobolds to serve as cannon fodder or lost in transportation.

At the winery this bold would mentor under the brewmaster and get a better education outside of the propaganda kobolds are fed. This leads into the alchemist class, an intelligence based class. Looking at names i think ive settled on Degrees Brix (DB ir Brix or Bri for short) This is a measure of soluable solids like sugar in wine, its measured to check how much sugar is left for fermentation in conjunction with a hydrometer which measures % alcohol.

From this education Bri gets a better picture of the politics and what its really like outside the draconian influence. Becomes clever, more investigative. Learns to be dishonest and think about things.

Why become an adventure? Why in campaign would Bri choose violence? I want Bri to be a murderer before being an adventurer. Just so its not an insane shift from “i made alcohol before this” to session one straight up killing a random guard/goblin/bandit.

Very TBD but im thinking its like fragging ur superior officer. Like the army come to town and draft/abduct kobolds to fill gaps in rank. Then either its while escaping throw a Molotov at the leader or its after a fight with heavy losses. Names of the dead aren’t recorded as kobold lives aren’t valued as such. Also its a weird army culture thing of don’t remember the dead.

Listen I don’t wanna rp being shocked at killing generic bandit, would rather do a surprisingly quiet and determined murder. Like how in His Dark Materials Lyra Silvertongue consulted the aelithiometer if she could trust Will and it responded with that he was a murderer. She then thought “good. I can trust him” , like Ioric Bjoronison the armored bear king. Still wild to me she saw that as a good sign. Hmmm weirdly enough Malcom in the sequel series the book of dust Mal is also a killer that saved baby lyra.

Tempting to do unreliable narrator murderer like my blorbo Mycroft Canner but i think thats too much for a TTRPG player character.

Right so Cannoli would be my one NPC to give to the GM and personal quest would be to reconnect with estranged sibling (stationed somewhere or find them if its like a they were lost in battle unconfirmed dead)

Degree Brix, Bri the alchemist kobold

Strengths

-intelligent, chemistry background, stealth for investigative B&E.

Flaws

-jaded, self esteem issues with appearance, feels very conflicted about home and culture

I wish I could hug y'all!

In fact I think I will make it A LIFE GOAL I really really wanna someday be able to visit all my friends who live in different countries! Its something good to save up for, even if it'll probably take years. So.. lets randomly ramble in a journal about Plans!! IDEA THE FIRST TRIP THE FIRST FIRST THE FIRST: THE SEQUEL I think it'd probably make sense to go to america first, since i have a lot of close friends living there and I don't need to learn another language. (I am notoriously dumb...) But then afterwards I could set another goal to save up and visit another friend in another country! IT WILL NEVER ENDDDDD, THATS WHY ITS CALLED FRIENNNNDDDDD So far all I have confirmed is that two of my friends would be happy to see me if I was able to visit america, @darkeiya and @summon-daze But its not like I've exactly asked everyone else, so I dunno really how many people I might be able to visit. And it depends on time constraints too, i might only be able to spend a full day or two with the closest friends and maybe then if there's more than three of us we could all meet up together and hang out en masse? Depends on how tricky it'd be for everyone to get to the same place! SO! PLANS AND THINGS I NEED TO PREPARE! workin to figure out a precise money goal im gonna save for * Become Fab * no but srsly i wanna look my best if im meeting friends in person for the first ever time. need to acquire Cool T-Shirts * figure out what exactly you can and cannot take on an aeroplane, and how to deal with anxiety if i cant take electronics. Nothing's as distracting as videogames when you're freakin out! * DO NOT SCHEDULE ANYTHING ON THE 11th-14th OF THE MONTH. i have a bad history of my period landing on these days ONLY when i have to do something important. Or when its my birthday :P I dont need even more reason to feel nauseous on a plane! * figure out how many days the stay will be, and how many clothes etc I need to bring. probably a basic thing, but this is my first time going on a holiday alone so i need to write stuff down to make sure i remember! * figure out how long exactly I want to spend with each friend, and how long I can afford in hotel fees. And does a plane ticket cos more if you're staying for longer? * find out what kind of luggages are easiest to carry and how to carry three luggages when i have two hands. Can you tie them together and make a luggages train??? * Find some sort of secure way to carry large amounts of money. I'm gonna have to do that since I need to get all my currency converted before I go. I was thinking maybe a little matchbox tin chained to the inside of my coat or around my neck? Something where you couldnt get it without roughhousing with me, and it'd still be hard to pull it off the chain. Gives me a precious few extra minutes to yell for help/possibly bludgeon a guy with a suitcase * Figure out hotel(s) in different areas of america, depending on how far I'll have to travel. And figure out affordable ways to travel the difference if its not a situation where the friend can pick me up. And make sure they are cool hotels, not just the absolute minimum! i wanna make a fun tourist experience of the hotels!! I havent been in a hotel since I was a kid! * Possibly schedule it like a 'safehouse' thing? Returning to home base! I need to make sure I schedule around the potential anxiety of doing so much travel in a new place. So maybe schedule it out so I have a period of me-time in between visiting each friend? Itd probably cost too much to rent a hotel room for an entire day in between so maybe just schedule it out so I have half a day at least. I dunno if hotels allow you to sleep in all day tho, are there rules about what time you need to be up and out? * I'm kinda looking forward to using hotel beds and showers cos theyre like luxury compared to my house XD man, I wonder if I could get a place with a hot tub?? or the fabled mini-bar?? (which i would drink nothing of, but it would be fun to take photos!) And it'd be so cool to see what american breakfasts are like! And lol all my friends have just been like 'YOU NEED TO SEE OUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS' and im like... dude, i dont need to get fatter XD lets limit it to ONE! * I dunno if my friends would just wanna hang out in their local mall or something, or if I could visit their house and say hi to their family? that might be going too far. i'll still bring gifts they can give to their family tho, i wanna show my appreciation to everyone!! * are you allowed to bring extra empty suitcases onto the plane with you? I'm anticipating that knowing myself im probably gonna buy enough souveniers to need one. I'm planning to basically have half the money be for travel and then half again is just for buying NOVELTY HATS! * need to make sure to finally get a passport, and also consult heavily with my support worker and friends to make sure i have every form of travel documentation in order. I know stuff is... not good, in america right now. Thats probably why it'd be good that it'd take me years to save up for a visit, hopefully i'd be there after the next election. But I need to prepare anyway, in case border control is even more stringent. * Prepare the 'ol misgendering, because getting strip searched and treated as a suspicious threat is a very big reality for trans people. Having the wrong gender marker on your birth certificate is treated as 'this passport must be a forgery' rather than.. yknow.. transgender people exist. And then you need to be invasively handled by the guards to make sure you aren't packing explosives down your goddamn pants, they have to inspect the parts of you that you're most self concious about. *shudder* I've heard a lot of horror stories. I dunno if america is any better about it. But yeah I'm probably gonna have to just pass as female during boarding and hotels and stuff, and not wear my binder til i get to meet my friends. Saves trouble... Man, I might have to even go buy some more cliche feminine outfits or something, to make sure. Itd be fun burning them afterwards, I guess... * BRING GIFTS FOR FRIENDS N FAMILY! Figure out what is and isnt allowed to be transferred between countries. As far as I know I cant bring any form of food or drink right? I'm only allowed to eat the in-flight meals? Thats a shame cos I wanted to bring welsh cakes, theyre the only one of our local delicacies that's not a super acquired taste. (I tried bara bryth for the first time and DIED) And I dunno if anyone would be interested in silly souveniers of my country but I could get a pile of em if you are! Want an eight foot tall lovespoon? Want a giant inflatable daffodil? Want a bazillion ceramic dragons? * I am determined to bring at least one personalized super awesome gift for each person! It might just be an expensive merchandise of their fave show, it might be some form of handmade handicraft of one of their ocs! whatever I'm able to do! ^_^ * BRING SKETCHBOOKS SO WE CAN DRAW TOGETHER. LEARN THE WAYS OF THE AMERICAN MASTERS. * hey does anyone wanna trade trading cards yo. They'd be like the single easiest thing to bring with me, but I only have a handful of pokemon ones and i only really have one friend that I know likes yugioh. (And she's in england) * WE CAN FOOL AROUND LIKE DOOFS. God willing, if anyone wants to join me I will play water balloon tennis or jalapeno roulette or any sort of insane friend activity you can think of!! Gotta make up for the fact im a boring teetotaler. Tho lol I probably already act more drunk than the real drunks at a party XD * TAKE A LOT OF PHOTOS!! And possibly try and acquire a portable video camera? I'd only photo/video anyone if they gave me permission, and I wouldnt post it online unless I also had permission for that. I just wanna make a lot of memories and record them forever! Whenever I feel down, I can remember this amazing trip!!! * remember to get one of those plug adaptor thingies cos american plugs have one less prong. Gotta trade the pokeymons!! I know I can already do that easily online but BATTLING IN PERSON WOULD BE EPIC * ...bring an Ash cosplay? XD * no but seriously if i could schedule this right to coincide with an american convention or something that'd be awesome! EVEN MORE SOUVENIERS! And I could actually try cosplaying!! I'd have to find a character that suits me tho, I dont wanna get laughed at like everyone always does with fat people cosplaying thin characters. (Like... almost every character is thin, yo. let people do what they want) * possible idea: magma admin tabitha from pokemon? he's like the only fave I have who's chubby but not like... inherantly a comic relief ugly guy or a seventy year old grandpa. I wanted to do quina quen from final fantasy 9 but I dont think I have the charisma to pull it off. I'd get paranoid if people just treated the character how they treat the character, my brain would twist everything into an insult on my costume or myself XD also I kinda already look like tabitha, tho I'd either have to go without hairdye or like... wear a wig in my natural hair colour. Also his costume is super heavy and sweaty in a convention setting, according to what I;ve heard from other team magma cosplayers. (Makes you wonder how on earth they all wore it on a volcano!) * WHAT IS AN AMERICAN BISCUIT. They look like savoury welshcakes??? Learn about all the language differences! Man I wish I could bring food souveniers back with me, I'd never be able to try every single different foodstuff in america in one day without DYING. AND DYING AGAIN. * Collect product wrappers and advertisements! Its always really interesting to me to see the differences between countries! A friend mailed me an american cola once and the bottle was a whole different shape??? (he also mailed me a bunch of spent shotgun shells, which was kinda terrifying cos I was currently in a christian homeless shelter and I didnt exactly wanna cause trouble XD Apparantly it is totally legal to own unuseable bullets tho, as long as you dont have a gun.) * I dunno if any of my friends would be equally interested in similar things? i could take requests for weird british stuff to bring with me! * for summon-daze specifically: since we are both cuddly honest goofballs of childlike joy, maybe bring some of my plushie collection to show her? I'd usually just bring one as an emergency anti-anxiety measure. Tho the embarassment from having a full on meltdown in public and having to be seen hugging a plush toy to keep from crying means its not 100% effective. Only works good when I'm with people who arent judgmental. Secret pocket gengar plush is good for other times! (I've been squeezing that thing during doctors appointments and nobody noticed!) * extra reason why I'd love to visit my friends: visiting my friends's pets. I have been absolutely blessed by images of dazy's pet cat Pam, and apparantly her family has a few other cats and a dog! O_O WHAT AN AMAZING LIFE YOU LIVE. I always tell her to give pam a hug from me, and I know pam probably wouldnt like me very much when we first meet cos she's shy, but still I'd love to at least see her. I wish cats could somehow know that they give joy to people through the internet! * ...are you allowed to bring medications across the border? is there a procedure I need to go through to be allowed to bring my antidepressants? Would painkillers be allowed too? If not, is there anywhere I could buy plane-bring-onnable headache meds in the lobby or something? Just anticipating that I might get a stress migraine on the plane, cos it'd be my first time ever flying. * are you allowed to take photos out the plane window, if you use a non electronic camera? i know you cant really see anything but panning landscapes but it still sounds awesome!
