We've been having some problems with interpersonal strife lately, and I thought I should say something, as the guy wot designed and pays for the site and makes most of the pics for it and junk. When we started the game I'd wanted to make a big contract you guys would sign, that would make the expectations clear, but for whatever reason it didn't happen??? (Mystery for the ages.)

So, a new beginning. These are my two biggest concerns currently.

THING 1 --

I feel like we should be able to be open with what makes us uncomfortable in game, whether to a GM or to another player. I personally have had a big problem with that in the past year or so, and that's really limited my participation in, and enjoyment of this game. And enjoyment is the whole ding-dang point of a game, isn't it?

Compared to other games we've played here, I feel like we have more of a problem being able to talk to each other. I know I've been offended on several occasions, but haven't had the nerve to say anything and just disappeared off the face of the planet until I'd gotten over it slightly. That's no good, this should be fun!


THING 2 --

Something that has seriously hampered my fun as a GM is feeling like I need to walk on eggshells with players. I've gotten some pretty bad reactions for doing stuff I thought would just be darkly humorous, not even half as bad as stuff that happens in the comic. Sometimes I've done something that I didn't think was even slightly dark and characters reacted very badly to it. I want people to have fun, but ~I~ want to have fun too! If it wasn't fun at all, I wouldn't be even writing this or spending all the time making the graphics. Or I'd be charging you guys the big bucks. (Any offers of big bucks are welcome.)

I want people to like what I do, and worrying about bad reactions makes things much less fun for me. I'm worried people are going to hate what I do, and I can't have my evil fun, even with progenitors. For this reason, I feel that I am not creating a true version of the KF world, and am making characters behave in ways that are contrary to their design, or just not having them be there at all. I think that probably is an issue for players that would prefer the world to be darker too. I understand people have limitations, but I think we should make them clear so we can know what to expect, and hopefully we can loosen up as appropriate.
My hope is that this will mitigate conflict, and allow the game to be a lot more fun. This would allow me to participate more fully, which would mean much more RP activity for everyone.
So let's make our limits as roleplayers known.

CLARIFICATION --

Sometimes players have professed to have enjoyed a scene, but the way their characters reacted did not show this at all. I don't want to have to say "you're supposed to view this scene this way" but if I ask if someone wants to be in a dark scene, and their characters are crying and upset about it for life,
THAT IS NOT FUN FOR ME! It's one thing to have a lil' rebellion, but grudgez4life are mega nega-fun for me x 1 million. Think about in the comic, dark stuff happens, people are mad/sad and then they move on to a new scene.
I do not like roleplaying hurt feelings, and this is supposed to be a fun dark vampire game, not the Schindler's List RPG.


If you don't think your character can handle a trauma without it ruining their un-lives, please do not say you are willing to have it happen.
Cool beans?



That said, I propose that we pledge to be more open to communication about what makes us uncomfortable, and what we are and are not willing to roleplay. I think we said something about this stuff when we first started but I think it's time to say it again, or like, uh, say it the first time.




How about we all fill out a survey?



FIRST: Please read the new forum rules, and abide them suckas like you abide... something else you abide.


Second, some notes about the culture of Glenland in case it isn't clear. I don't want to call anyone out but this has been an issue a few times so I don't think my writing of the universe is coming through to the game.

Glenland is a combo urban US/UK sorta hybrid. People are kinda fusty and reserved. They've got their sex clubs and stuff, but many people will be uncomfortable around overt public displays of physical intimacy, sexuality, violence, and extreme language. You might be cool with making characters uncomfortable, but just be aware. There are shades of course, but aside from saying when you've been hurt by something, don't tell other people how they should've RPed something. You don't get to be arbiter of what other characters are cool with or bothered by. (This includes NPCs)

I don't wanna talk about consent here, because I'm sure we all know about that. Don't test people's limits, it will make me sad and I'm already so so sad about lots of other stuff in life.

The police are more UK style, so like, still pigs but they don't pack heat and police brutality is limited to tasing typically. People rarely have guns, and when people do see a gun in the hands of a stranger, they are gonna be really really scared/calling the cops etc. People will go to the police when they see crimes, you could get in trouble etc etc. People are more horrified by violence than the typical American. You know, just imagine life is an afterschool special with more magic.

Racism is greatly reduced, the continent with the largest amount of black people has always been prosperous and well regarded so racial profiling/discrimination is very reduced. (What a fantasy I've created... ) People are generally progressive in other respects, gay people can marry, secular government, reduced sexism etc. There can be a few weird neo-nazi types crawling around the edges, weed is only as legal as pirating software and someone's sexist uncle always has to show up to a party. 

THE PACT WITH VARIOUS SATANS



NOTE ONCE MORE--- When I say 'how cool are you with this,'  I mean not just what you, as a player, are willing to accept or like, but what you are
not going to get personally upset by, and in-character sobbing in pillows for a million years. (Scarring for life is okay as long as it's not totally dreary and maudlin for everyone else.)





Please copy and paste the following in a reply to this post. Put questions in the OOC.




If you don't feel comfortable sharing any of this publicly, you can PM to Dungyeon Maestyr. I recommend posting whatever you are able to publicly so people will know how to behave around you.




MY NAME IS ___________

and here are my roleplaying limits. (From here on "I" will mean your character. (That would just be weird otherwise, we're not gonna dismember you in real life I promise.))


Also, specify if you are talking about PC, or GM interactions. These will probably be different numbers.



ON 1 to 10 -- Fill in the appropriate number, which as much explanation as you care to give.


How cool am I with receiving injuries?
On a scale of 1 (gently falling on a downy pillow) to 5 (Getting slapped around to the point of moderate injury) to 10 (grisly dismemberment)


>from GMs
>from PCs


How cool am I with verbal/emotional abuse?
On a scale of 1 (being asked to take out the trash) to 5 (backhanded compliments, veiled insults) 10 (Your parents called and said they don't love you anymore)


> GM
> PCs


How cool am I with witnessing gore?
On a scale from 1 (bunnies bopping each other with soft hammers) to 5 (plenty 'a blood but no corpses) to 10 (mangled corpses for miles)


> GM
> PCs


How cool am I with being subject to injustice?
On a scale from 1 (someone cut in front of you in a very short line at the bank) to 5 (unfair house rules) to  10 (slavery 5eva)


> GM
> PCs


How cool am I with being tortured?
On a scale from 1 (someone humming commercial jingles behind you) to 5 (arm twisting) to 10 (Xtreme moto-cross waterboarding)
(Jack with car battery is probably a 9.5)


> GM
> PCs


How cool am I with blasphemy? (W/ fake Kingfisher world stuff natch.)
On a scale from 1 (gosh darn) to 5 (upside down scepter jewelry) to 10 (HAIL DOREIN KILL GAWD ETC)

> GM
> PCs


How cool am I with being menaced/creeped out by progenitors?
On a scale from 1 (creepy looks) to 5 (invited to progen party) to 10 (being Santi)
(Getting earringed by Greyburn maybe a 7)


> GM
> PCs



How cool am I with RPing indignant outrage? (Being upset/ranting about something THAT WAS NOT WHAT A PC DID!!! Pls leave PCs out of outrage.)
On a scale of  1 (whut-eva) to 5 (half-hearted dreams of revenge) to 10 (I'LL NEVER JOIN YOUUuu)
(Darren in beginning of comic is a 10, later in comic all the way down to a 3)

> GM
> PCs


How evil is my character in a traditional sense? (Likely to be a murderer, cruel etc.)
On a scale from 1 (cheats at board games, but only a little) to 5 (no remorse for hurt feelings) to 10 ("He was such a quiet boy...")
(Nick the cutter starts at 8, moves to 10. Fran probably a 7, Tristan a 4, the sweetest vampires a 2, Paolo a 1.)

>


How cool am I with being a part of, or witnessing PDA? (Public Displays of Affection) (please specify which if they differ)
On a scale of 1 (pleasant gazes) to to 5 (friendly hugs, hand holding, arms around shoulders, slow dancing) to 7 (more overt couple-ish physical intimacy, arm around waist, kissing on cheeks or lips) 10 (just barely within forum rules hanky panky)
NOTE THE 'P' in PDA. AKA "PUBLIC." Witnessing is a key word, whatever happens in private, behind spoilers is fine as long as it falls within forum rules.
If you wouldn't do it with your Auntie, you're passing a 5.

> GM
> PCs


Please list here anything else you might be disturbed/horrified by. As we promised early on, your characters are guaranteed to not get molested, so don't worry about that.




(KNOWN ISSUES: we have an number of controversial topics you may encounter as you play. Police hate, casual portrayals of drug use, crime &  BDSM.
All of these things are important to an accurate representation of this world and characters and are not going to be eliminated.  Tell us if you are uncomfortable with any of these topics and we will avoid using it around you to the extent it is possible.)

Another note about  'punching up' humor-- There are layers of privilege in the world, IE gay vs straight, black vs white, woman vs man,  poor vs rich , femme vs masc, asexual vs sexual. The rule of kind comedy is to not 'punch down' AKA don't make jokes about less privileged people. 'Punching up' is the opposite, and can help people of  oppressed classes express their frustration, which is something they have to deal with everyday.  For example, racist jokes vs jokes about white people liking mayonnaise. It should be obvious why one is worse than the other.
If you have any particularly sore spots in this regard, let us know and we will avoid joking about that topic directly in front of you. (You may PM Dungyeon Maestyr about this if you want to keep it private.)
But we are not eliminating this from our repertoire.




Yes or No -- highlight or put parenthesis around or whatever you like. Feel free to add comments as you wish.

I may think of more things to ask later, and if you guys have any ideas let me know, and I will add an amendment.

I want to get along with my fellow players and GMs as much as I can. I want everyone to have fun, including myself.

and here are my roleplaying limits. (From here on "I" will mean your character. (That would just be weird otherwise, we're not gonna dismember you in real life I promise.))


ON 1 to 10 -- Fill in the appropriate number, which as much explanation as you care to give.


FOR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING I AM ANSWERING RE: THE NPCs I PLAY.


On a scale of 1 (gently falling on a downy pillow) to 5 (Getting slapped around to the point of moderate injury) to 10 (grisly dismemberment)
How cool am I with receiving injuries?

> 10 I am cool with many NPCs getting folded, spindled, and mutilated - as long as it isn't just a scene demonstrating your PC prettyboy is the kewlest sociopath 4ev, because that is gross. If you have an NPC whose death will shatter your enjoyment of the RPG, let me know and maaaaaybe we can take their demise off the table. If not, any of the main cast of the Kingfisher + RP-specific characters can possibly die.


On a scale of 1 (being asked to take out the trash) to 5 (backhanded compliments, veiled insults) 10 (Your parents called and said they don't love you anymore)
How cool am I with verbal/emotional abuse?

> From NPCs to NPCs, 10. From PCs to NPCs, it depends, up to 10, but if a PC is just being a whiny asshole, I will be annoyed with them and it may show in NPC behavior. As far as me dishing it out, I will try to abide people's limits for their characters, within reason. If your guy is a total shit, he may be shit upon. All of that is strictly about character to character interaction. If you feel I've insulted you person to person, let me know. That is unacceptable, and likewise the reverse.


On a scale from 1 (bunnies bopping each other with soft hammers) to 5 (plenty 'a blood but no corpses) to 10 (mangled corpses for miles)
How cool am I with witnessing gore?

> 10, the secret books that originated the comic are much more nasty on occasion.


On a scale from 1 (someone cut in front of you in a very short line at the bank) to 5 (unfair house rules) to 10 (slavery 5eva)
How cool am I with being subject to injustice?

> From NPC to NPC, 9. Blockhead will get a real raw deal, but I do tend to shy away from injustice lasting forever without some kind of karma. From PC to NPC, 6. But like insults, I will make clear in my color text and replies when I think the PCs are being scumbags. Whether you catch the hint is down to your reading comprehension or your give-a-shit.


On a scale from 1 (someone humming commercial jingles behind you) to 5 (stern arm grabbing) to 10 (Xtreme moto-cross waterboarding)
(Jack with car battery is probably a 9 or 10)
How cool am I with being tortured?

> 10, with the limits on PC action mentioned above. If your guy is Nick the Cutter, expect the well.


On a scale from 1 (gosh darn) to 5 (upside down scepter jewelry) to 10 (HAIL DOREIN KILL GAWD ETC)
How cool am I with blasphemy? (W/ fake Kingfisher world stuff natch.)

> 11. We've had problems in past games of people being bothered by anti-religious sentiment so I hope everyone is aware of and draws their boundaries accurately so I can respect them.


On a scale from 1 (creepy looks) to 10 (being Santi for life)
How cool am I with being menaced/creeped out by progenitors?

> 10 for NPC to NPC, but I have found it really unpleasant to RP as progenitors in this situations with PCs. 3 for that, unless we carefully negotiate the direction of it in PM first.


On a scale of 1 (whut-eva) to 5 (half-hearted dreams of revenge) to 10 (I'LL NEVER JOIN YOUUuu)
(Darren in beginning of comic is a 10, later in comic all the way down to a 3)
How cool am I with RPing indignant outrage? (Being upset/ranting about something THAT WAS NOT WHAT A PC DID!!! Pls leave PCs out of outrage.)

> NPC to NPC, 10 if it's funny, 5 if it isn't. NPC to PC, I'd rather PCs didn't do anything to deserve indignant outrage from my guys. I think it's made the NPC Courtney a total drag. 2 - I'll do it but I'd rather not.



On a scale from 1 (cheats at board games, but only a little) to 5 (Enjoys fights, no remorse for hurt feelings) to 10 ("He was such a quiet boy...")
How evil is my character in a traditional sense? (Likely to be a murderer, cruel etc.)
(Nick the cutter starts at 8, moves to 10. Fran probably a 7

> 1-10. Depends on the NPC, that's the upper limit.



On a scale of 1 (pleasant gazes) to to 5 (friendly hugs, hand holding, arms around shoulders, slow dancing) to 7 (more overt couple-ish physical intimacy, kissing on cheeks or lips) 10 (just barely within forum rules hanky panky)
How cool am I with being a part of, or witnessing PDA? (please specify which)
NOTE THE 'P' in PDA. AKA "PUBLIC." Witnessing is a key word, whatever happens behind spoilers is fine as long as it falls within forum rules.

> 4. In private, with the right characters or careful planning, as high as 8 - though not very likely. And most of the players have expressed no interest in pursuing that with NPCs, and I have no problem with that as the status quo. Fades to black preferred.



Please list here anything else you might be disturbed/horrified by. As we promised early on, your characters are guaranteed to not get molested, so don't worry about that.

> PCs ruining human lives on a whim has been annoying, when it's happened. Not too disturbing to deal with though, if I have to.


Yes or No -- highlight or put parenthesis around or whatever you like. Feel free to add comments as you wish.



Am I open to romantic interaction with PCs?

Yes for my NPCs, but I somehow don't think this is going to be sought by PCs.


Am I open to romantic interaction with NPCs?

Yes


Am I open to fun time violence? (Violence for amusement's sake)

This may be the subject of an Uncle Chris Talk. I think some of you can handle it, but some of you don't have the feel yet. If the PCs are wacky rowdy guys like in the Sunday funnies, maybe. If the PCs act like NYC cops, no thanks.


Am I open to chilling with progenitors?

Yes


Am I open to non-erotic bondage situations? (BDSM w/out naughty bits doing anything)

Yes, though I think this should be negotiated through PMs.





I may think of more things to ask later, and if you guys have any ideas let me know, and I will add an amendment.

MY NAME IS __Sebastian___

and here are my roleplaying limits. (From here on "I" will mean your character. (That would just be weird otherwise, we're not gonna dismember you in real life I promise.))


Also, specify if you are talking about PC, or GM interactions. These will probably be different numbers.



ON 1 to 10 -- Fill in the appropriate number, which as much explanation as you care to give.


How cool am I with receiving injuries?
On a scale of 1 (gently falling on a downy pillow) to 5 (Getting slapped around to the point of moderate injury) to 10 (grisly dismemberment)


>from GMs - 6/7, unless otherwise discussed through PM
>from PCs - 3/4

How cool am I with verbal/emotional abuse?
On a scale of 1 (being asked to take out the trash) to 5 (backhanded compliments, veiled insults) 10 (Your parents called and said they don't love you anymore)


> GM - 3/4 for important characters, 7 for randos
> PCs - 3

Basically, keep it non-cruel if you please. Teasing is a-ok, as is humorous bitchiness. I'm cool with randos being assholes, but, again, I've found I prefer if it's played for laffs.

How cool am I with witnessing gore?
On a scale from 1 (bunnies bopping each other with soft hammers) to 5 (plenty 'a blood but no corpses) to 10 (mangled corpses for miles)


> GM - 7/8
> PCs - 7/8


How cool am I with being subject to injustice?
On a scale from 1 (someone cut in front of you in a very short line at the bank) to 5 (unfair house rules) to 10 (slavery 5eva)


> GM - 5/6, varies depending on circumstance
> PCs - 5


How cool am I with being tortured?
On a scale from 1 (someone humming commercial jingles behind you) to 5 (arm twisting) to 10 (Xtreme moto-cross waterboarding)
(Jack with car battery is probably a 9.5)

> PCs - 10


How cool am I with being menaced/creeped out by progenitors?
On a scale from 1 (creepy looks) to 5 (invited to progen party) to 10 (being Santi)
(Getting earringed by Greyburn maybe a 7)


> 5


How cool am I with RPing indignant outrage? (Being upset/ranting about something THAT WAS NOT WHAT A PC DID!!! Pls leave PCs out of outrage.)
On a scale of 1 (whut-eva) to 5 (half-hearted dreams of revenge) to 10 (I'LL NEVER JOIN YOUUuu)
(Darren in beginning of comic is a 10, later in comic all the way down to a 3)

> 4/5

Tried hxc rage, didn't like it. Just gives me a headache.


How evil is my character in a traditional sense? (Likely to be a murderer, cruel etc.)
On a scale from 1 (cheats at board games, but only a little) to 5 (no remorse for hurt feelings) to 10 ("He was such a quiet boy...")
(Nick the cutter starts at 8, moves to 10. Fran probably a 7, Tristan a 4, the sweetest vampires a 2, Paolo a 1.)

> 4


How cool am I with being a part of, or witnessing PDA? (Public Displays of Affection) (please specify which if they differ)
On a scale of 1 (pleasant gazes) to to 5 (friendly hugs, hand holding, arms around shoulders, slow dancing) to 7 (more overt couple-ish physical intimacy, arm around waist, kissing on cheeks or lips) 10 (just barely within forum rules hanky panky)
NOTE THE 'P' in PDA. AKA "PUBLIC." Witnessing is a key word, whatever happens in private, behind spoilers is fine as long as it falls within forum rules.
If you wouldn't do it with your Auntie, you're passing a 5.

> GM - Depends on the circumstances.
> PCs - Depends on the circumstances.

For both, I will generally follow the lead of the other person. If you feel uncomfortable or want something to fade to black, please tell me.

Please list here anything else you might be disturbed/horrified by. As we promised early on, your characters are guaranteed to not get molested, so don't worry about that.

- Enabling of addictions
- Obviously, as you mentioned, rape, but generally extreme sexual creepiness of that sort

Am I open to romantic interaction with PCs?

((Yes))/ No


Am I open to romantic interaction with NPCs?

((Yes))/ No


Am I open to fun time violence? (Violence for amusement's sake)

((Yes))/ No

Depends on the circumstances. I'm pretty okay with rando-npc violence, other things would need to be discussed.

Am I open to chilling with progenitors?

((Yes))/ No


Am I open to non-erotic bondage situations? (BDSM w/out naughty bits doing anything)

((Yes))/ No

This would probably depend on the situation as well. I guess I would need a clearer example to say anything definitively. In general, if it doesn't clash with other ratings, I'm probably ok - so torture & bondage combos = not fun, humorous situations by punky peeps or weirdos = fun.


"I, a cool guy, have read and understood the above, and hereby solemnly swear that I will be okay with civil conversation about limits, screw-ups and the like. I want to get along with my fellow players and GMs as much as I can. I want everyone to have fun, including myself.

GM>10

GM & PC>666

(Getting earringed by Greyburn maybe a 7)

(Darren in beginning of comic is a 10, later in comic all the way down to a 3)

PC & GM >4 - I do it but usually in humorous situations where it's then easily gotten over.

NOTE THE 'P' in PDA. AKA "PUBLIC." Witnessing is a key word, whatever happens in private, behind spoilers is fine as long as it falls within forum rules.
If you wouldn't do it with your Auntie, you're passing a 5.

GM & PC >5 as shown in August's past behaviour.


Please list here anything else you might be disturbed/horrified by. As we promised early on, your characters are guaranteed to not get molested, so don't worry about that.

> Wanton harm to innocents without cause, animal harm, destroying lives on a whim, child harm/abuse. Violence against women unless it's a fair fight, i.e. with someone like Sarah or Francesca.




(KNOWN ISSUES: we have an number of controversial topics you may encounter as you play. Police hate, casual portrayals of drug use, crime & BDSM.
All of these things are important to an accurate representation of this world and characters and are not going to be eliminated. Tell us if you are uncomfortable with any of these topics and we will avoid using it around you to the extent it is possible.)

Another note about 'punching up' humor-- There are layers of privilege in the world, IE gay vs straight, black vs white, woman vs man, poor vs rich , femme vs masc, asexual vs sexual. The rule of kind comedy is to not 'punch down' AKA don't make jokes about less privileged people. 'Punching up' is the opposite, and can help people of oppressed classes express their frustration, which is something they have to deal with everyday. For example, racist jokes vs jokes about white people liking mayonnaise. It should be obvious why one is worse than the other.
If you have any particularly sore spots in this regard, let us know and we will avoid joking about that topic directly in front of you. (You may PM Dungyeon Maestyr about this if you want to keep it private.)
But we are not eliminating this from our repertoire.

[Kristi is prescribed skeletons]

MY NAME IS ___KRISTI____

and here are my and my character's roleplaying limits.


NOTE: I have made some edits since I first posted. I misunderstood and completely missed some questions the first time filling the survey out.




On a scale of 1 (gently falling on a downy pillow) to 5 (Getting slapped around to the point of moderate injury) to 10 (grisly dismemberment)
How cool am I with receiving injuries?

> GM and PC - BRING IT ON.


On a scale of 1 (being asked to take out the trash) to 5 (backhanded compliments, veiled insults) 10 (Your parents called and said they don't love you anymore)
How cool am I with verbal/emotional abuse?

> GM and PC - 8-10. Characters saying my PC is creepy, weird, evil, etc. is entertaining for he and I rather than insulting. If somebody my PC likes disses him it would be more upsetting, but Trevor works hard not to get on the bad side of somebody he likes a lot.

On a scale from 1 (bunnies bopping each other with soft hammers) to 5 (plenty 'a blood but no corpses) to 10 (mangled corpses for miles)
How cool am I with witnessing gore?

> GM and PC - 9. Bring it on, but no non-human animals or human children victims, please. Trevor feels comfortable handling the corpses of animals he loves and studying them, but never wants animals to suffer. He doesn't want humans to suffer either, but he won't be shaken up by seeing anything frightening in this vein.


On a scale from 1 (someone cut in front of you in a very short line at the bank) to 5 (unfair house rules) to 10 (slavery 5eva)
How cool am I with being subject to injustice?

> GM and PC - 8. As I said in the KFRPG Talk, Trevor is willing to volunteer as Jack's tribute for various bad times and torture since he's going to be a full-on Theodore supporter. He'd not want to be a slave 5eva, though.

On a scale from 1 (someone humming commercial jingles behind you) to 5 (stern arm grabbing) to 10 (Xtreme moto-cross waterboarding)
(Jack with car battery is probably a 9 or 10)
How cool am I with being tortured?

> GM and PC - So far Trevor has stayed awake during his transformation, was ready to be attacked by Inka's sword, and taken a punch to the face. He's all like, "LOL PAIN".



On a scale from 1 (gosh darn) to 5 (upside down scepter jewelry) to 10 (HAIL DOREIN KILL GAWD ETC)
How cool am I with blasphemy? (W/ fake Kingfisher world stuff natch.)

> GM and PC - I'm not the Messiah, I'm a very naughty girl. Trevor likes specific spirits, but he doesn't worship anything.


On a scale from 1 (creepy looks) to 10 (being Santi for life)
How cool am I with being menaced/creeped out by progenitors?

> 7. Trevor can take a lot, but he doesn't like being looked down upon and ordered to do menial tasks, nor do I want him to do much of that.


On a scale of 1 (whut-eva) to 5 (half-hearted dreams of revenge) to 10 (I'LL NEVER JOIN YOUUuu)
(Darren in beginning of comic is a 10, later in comic all the way down to a 3)
How cool am I with RPing indignant outrage? (Being upset/ranting about something THAT WAS NOT WHAT A PC DID!!! Pls leave PCs out of outrage.)

Depends on the character I'm playing. Washy Wendy is a raging 10, but that's all comical. Trevor is a 2 or a 3. I don't like it when PCs are grumpy all the time, but some rage is understandable given the circumstances. Full time grumps are serious downers.



On a scale from 1 (cheats at board games, but only a little) to 5 (Enjoys fights, no remorse for hurt feelings) to 10 ("He was such a quiet boy...")
How evil is my character in a traditional sense? (Likely to be a murderer, cruel etc.)
(Nick the cutter starts at 8, moves to 10. Fran probably a 7

> Trevor is a 10 for the greater good. My spirits are all 1 or 0. Felix is a 3 since he likes to rough house and cheat at games.



On a scale of 1 (pleasant gazes) to to 5 (friendly hugs, hand holding, arms around shoulders, slow dancing) to 7 (more overt couple-ish physical intimacy, kissing on cheeks or lips) 10 (just barely within forum rules hanky panky)
How cool am I with being a part of, or witnessing PDA? (please specify which)
NOTE THE 'P' in PDA. AKA "PUBLIC." Witnessing is a key word, whatever happens behind spoilers is fine as long as it falls within forum rules.

> PC and GM - Quoth the Kelly: "This makes me feel weird. Definitely not more than a 6 for either. Maybe a kiss hello/goodbye for couples or Euro types."

Trevor is weirded out by sexysexy but is okay with affection of a non-sexual nature. He loves hugs.


Please list here anything else you might be disturbed/horrified by. As we promised early on, your characters are guaranteed to not get molested, so don't worry about that.

> Gratuitous cruelty to innocents, animal abuse, domestic violence, sexual encounters of underage individuals (children), crushed or mutilated arthropods or rodents, child abuse, bullying, labeling people based on their BMI (waif = vapid, rude, etc./overweight = villainous, unhealthy, etc.)


Yes or No -- highlight or put parenthesis around or whatever you like. Feel free to add comments as you wish.



Am I open to romantic interaction with PCs?

((Yes)) ✓

Yes, if it's mutual and realistic. (I'm highly doubtful this would ever happen, though.)

Am I open to romantic interaction with NPCs?
((Yes)) ✓

See above answer.


Am I open to fun time violence? (Violence for amusement's sake)

(depending on characters I'm playing)

Trevor ✓ If it's for the greater good. Washy Wendy ✓ Comical bopping characters on the head with a broom and tossing filthy, messy characters out the window. Felix NO (unless you count good-natured rough housing)

Am I open to chilling with progenitors?

((Yes)) ✓


Am I open to non-erotic bondage situations? (BDSM w/out naughty bits doing anything)

((Yes)) ✓

((No)) to gagging, though.

On a scale of 1 (gently falling on a downy pillow) to 5 (Getting slapped around to the point of moderate injury) to 10 (grisly dismemberment)


>from GMs - 9
>from PCs - 6/9 If unprompted by GMs and Quinn's said something that your character just HAS to punch him over, then feel free within the bounds of what your character would do, not you. If prompted by a scene, go wild.


How cool am I with verbal/emotional abuse?
On a scale of 1 (being asked to take out the trash) to 5 (backhanded compliments, veiled insults) 10 (Your parents called and said they don't love you anymore)


> GM - 10 All in good fun, eh?
> PCs - 9 Once again, within the realms of your character's personality and discretion. Just because I'm cool with more doesn't mean it's okay to look for reasons to get nasty with Quinn when he's just chillin'.


How cool am I with witnessing gore?
On a scale from 1 (bunnies bopping each other with soft hammers) to 5 (plenty 'a blood but no corpses) to 10 (mangled corpses for miles)


> GM - 10
> PCs - 10


How cool am I with being subject to injustice?
On a scale from 1 (someone cut in front of you in a very short line at the bank) to 5 (unfair house rules) to 10 (slavery 5eva)


> GM - 10 Within the confines of the game, nothing bothers me personally and progenitors gonna do what progenitors gonna do.
> PCs - 7 I'm fine with it, once again, but only if it has a reason for furthering story/character.


How cool am I with being tortured?
On a scale from 1 (someone humming commercial jingles behind you) to 5 (arm twisting) to 10 (Xtreme moto-cross waterboarding)
(Jack with car battery is probably a 9.5)


> GM - 10
> PCs - 7/10 7 in normal interaction, 10 if bidden by a progenitor.


How cool am I with blasphemy? (W/ fake Kingfisher world stuff natch.)
On a scale from 1 (gosh darn) to 5 (upside down scepter jewelry) to 10 (HAIL DOREIN KILL GAWD ETC)

> GM - 10
> PCs - 10


How cool am I with being menaced/creeped out by progenitors?
On a scale from 1 (creepy looks) to 5 (invited to progen party) to 10 (being Santi)
(Getting earringed by Greyburn maybe a 7)


> GM - 5/10 Quinn himself couldn't take much more than a 5, but I'm not offended by it going further.
> PCs - 5/10



How cool am I with RPing indignant outrage? (Being upset/ranting about something THAT WAS NOT WHAT A PC DID!!! Pls leave PCs out of outrage.)
On a scale of 1 (whut-eva) to 5 (half-hearted dreams of revenge) to 10 (I'LL NEVER JOIN YOUUuu)
(Darren in beginning of comic is a 10, later in comic all the way down to a 3)

> GM - 10 It would take a lot to push Quinn beyond 'unsettled jimmies', but if it gets there, I'm cool with it.
> PCs - 6


How evil is my character in a traditional sense? (Likely to be a murderer, cruel etc.)
On a scale from 1 (cheats at board games, but only a little) to 5 (no remorse for hurt feelings) to 10 ("He was such a quiet boy...")
(Nick the cutter starts at 8, moves to 10. Fran probably a 7, Tristan a 4, the sweetest vampires a 2, Paolo a 1.)

5 Quinn doesn't have a compulsion to hurt others and is just as happy to make music, but he is generally ambivalent towards the population at large. He'd do things otherwise considered 'evil' by people to survive. He could also be encouraged to 'look the other way' in order to preserve the peace.

How cool am I with being a part of, or witnessing PDA? (Public Displays of Affection) (please specify which if they differ)
On a scale of 1 (pleasant gazes) to to 5 (friendly hugs, hand holding, arms around shoulders, slow dancing) to 7 (more overt couple-ish physical intimacy, arm around waist, kissing on cheeks or lips) 10 (just barely within forum rules hanky panky)
NOTE THE 'P' in PDA. AKA "PUBLIC." Witnessing is a key word, whatever happens in private, behind spoilers is fine as long as it falls within forum rules.
If you wouldn't do it with your Auntie, you're passing a 5.

> GM - 10
> PCs - 10


Please list here anything else you might be disturbed/horrified by. As we promised early on, your characters are guaranteed to not get molested, so don't worry about that.
Within the parameters of the game and with the understanding that it isn't real, I have no triggers beyond mild moments of 'ew'.



Yes or No -- highlight or put parenthesis around or whatever you like. Feel free to add comments as you wish.



Am I open to romantic interaction with PCs?

Yes


Am I open to romantic interaction with NPCs?

Yes


Am I open to fun time violence? (Violence for amusement's sake)

Yes Note: I don't think my character would do it, but I don't mind it occurring/seeing it.


Am I open to chilling with progenitors?

No No personal problems with it, but Quinn kind of clams up tight around them and it would probably lead to stilted RP in general which is no fun for anyone.


Am I open to non-erotic bondage situations? (BDSM w/out naughty bits doing anything)

Yes





I may think of more things to ask later, and if you guys have any ideas let me know, and I will add an amendment.





"I, a cool guy, have read and understood the above, and hereby solemnly swear that I will be okay with civil conversation about limits, screw-ups and the like. I want to get along with my fellow players and GMs as much as I can. I want everyone to have fun, including myself. I will be open about things that make me uncomfortable, and accept when things I do make other people uncomfortable and work to change this behavior/ not do it around this person.
I promise to accept other player's and GM's limits, and will expect them to honor my limits as well. I will ask questions if I don't know or understand something.

I will do the things I like with people who also like them, as long as they fall within forum rules."
