19:51	Tom90deg	hey hey
20:10	Heiden	hey
20:11	Heiden	sorry, mibbit sucks at notifying me when I have PMs
20:11	Tom90deg	hehee, no worries
20:12	Tom90deg	Well, Just wanted some advice on RP, but dunno if you're busy or anythihg....
20:59	Heiden	fuck, dude, I'm the worst
20:59	Heiden	look, I apologize
20:59	Heiden	clearing out tabs
20:59	Tom90deg	Eh?
20:59	Heiden	now
21:00	Tom90deg	Hehe, no worries
21:00	Heiden	I respond at a rate that is basically way too damn long
21:00	Tom90deg	such happens, no worries
21:00	Heiden	what kind of RP advice are you looking for?
21:00	Tom90deg	I dunno. Apparently people are very annoyed with Maxine, and I'd like to avoid that
21:01	Heiden	First things first, don't take yoric or crackles' griping to heart too much. They're /really/ fond of complaining.
21:01	Heiden	But if you're looking to establish a unique character, you'll need to ask yourself some questions.
21:02	Heiden	What are Maxine's goals in the short and long term?
21:02	Tom90deg	Well, it's kinda hard not to...apparenlty they think I'm just sitting her fapping to my characters.
21:02	Tom90deg	Didn't think people's opnions if me was that low...
21:02	Heiden	ok, that's a little much. I highly doubt you're jerking it in mid-game
21:03	Tom90deg	Well, long term is to get home (she's not from earth), short term, she's a scientist in the universe's bigest libary, so she's trying to get knoledge
21:03	Heiden	What kind of knowledge, and for what ends?
21:04	Tom90deg	well, very long term, after she gets home, use the new info to try to get more power and do more science. SHe's very into science for science's sake
21:05	Heiden	So it's about power? What's her ideal endgame, here.
21:05	Heiden	Fully staffed, funded, and equipped personal lab?
21:05	Tom90deg	Ideal endgame, she gets home with some kinda super-science or new info that noone else has, laugh manicaly, show them all, etc
21:06	Heiden	It's about power, then.
21:06	Tom90deg	Never really had a chance to play her getting nuts
21:06	Heiden	Science is her means to that power, but it's about dominance.
21:06	Tom90deg	Yah, pretty much
21:06	Tom90deg	yep yep
21:06	Heiden	Okay. You need to let that out in her character, then.
21:06	Heiden	It needs to be apparent that she's the type of person who wants that.
21:07	Tom90deg	Kk.
21:07	Heiden	Obviously, she isn't going to be able to achieve that kind of power here.
21:07	Heiden	But she's apparently naturally domineering, powerseeking, maybe even a little bit ruthless.
21:07	Tom90deg	Kk
21:07	Tom90deg	So she should be more, "Make me that cause I'll whack you upside the head if you don't!" rather than asking nicely?
21:09	Tom90deg	Hmm...should be able to play that after she gets better. She's not playing around anymore
21:09	Heiden	Not necessarily.
21:09	Heiden	She's not stupid, is she?
21:09	Tom90deg	NAw
21:10	Tom90deg	She's very smart, but is a bit nuts
21:10	Heiden	She does what needs to be done for what she wants to happen.
21:10	Heiden	If being sweet and kind gets her what she wants, then by all means.
21:10	Heiden	But if it doesn't, she won't be wasting her time trying to make friends.
21:10	Tom90deg	Kk
21:12	Heiden	You should also make it apparent that she's looking for a way home. Maybe she starts trying to break the locks the Library has placed on Doors, or maybe she's seeking Wayfarers like Midnight.
21:12	Tom90deg	Kk
21:12	Heiden	Give the GMs some plot hooks to latch on to.
21:13	Tom90deg	Or start trying to build a replica of the machine that borught her here
21:14	Heiden	She'll be looking for parts, then, and esoteric materials. Regardless, she's not going to be able to do this completely on her own.
21:14	Tom90deg	Yep yep
21:14	Heiden	Either she's going to have to get quite a bundle of money to buy all the stuff, or procure it herself.
21:14	Tom90deg	Kk, I'll work with that then.
21:16	Tom90deg	Kk
21:18	Heiden	any other questions or advice?
21:18	Heiden	I'm happy to help if I can
