Am I the only one who RPs [pc]Afro-american[/pc] characters?

[Solar Communes]

And who is not training to write scripts for blaxploitation movies?

And you blame Solarians for their hatred of aliens. Even your Xenos are usually white-skinned for Rosa Parks sake!

[Central Facehuggeria]

Allanea RPs Xenomorphs. It's hard to get blacker than that.

As for myself, Facehuggeria has never really had them, being a mostly racially homogenous population. Though if someone wants darker skin, nowadays it's perfectly possible with biomods.

None of your characters are this awesome, and I didn't even finish writing.

...Most of my characters don't have visable skin. Tho I suppose most of those have black noses - does that count?



And I think most Africans(amoungst others) would take offence to you calling them American on the basis of their skin colour, you racist bastard!

Reads like the start of a Mary Sue.

Reads like the start of a Mary Sue.

What were you expecting from an amoral, quasi-nihilistic civilization where the most popular augmentations are nanite-based penis enlargements, tentacle-shaped replacements for penis and endurance boosters?

No way this is a Mary Sue. Boosting dump stats like Charisma doesn't count, and that is really a just slightly above average life by Solarian standards. Plus, when you can download knowledge directly into mind, becoming anything you wish is only a matter of time and having enough brain and interest for it. And I didn't start writing about the fail of Annika's scientific career yet, or how far the Nets Hate Machine reacted when there was no new material to fap to.

Anyway, you could probably exploit these facts in our ongoing RP as they are now more of weaknesses than strengths for Annika ... Both Kanuckistani and Otagian spaceships in Solar Communes universe have scanned the Nets, so they would logically know about Annika's past before she stepped above what she now considers the "hedonistic mediocrity" of Solar Communes, suppressing sex drive because Solarians have total control over their bodies(thus why contraceptives aren't used), even though most of them prefer to not suppress certain urges.

[The Mindset]

People tend to write what they know. Where I grew up, there was no one that wasn't white.

[Kanuckistan]

Just from a statistical point of view, I'm pretty sure things like "becoming a sex symbol for entire generations, or more exactly, manipulating entire generations for her bidding," and "the ability to manipulate millions" is by definition outside the scope of a "just slightly above average life"


Atleast, for most values of just-slightly-above-average. You know, the ones that don't keep tagging 9's on after 99.9%

I wrote it from a somewhat In-character perspective with some serious superlatives. Just like there are several hints the article isn't entirely serious and objecitve in how it describes this character. Just like the Star Wars Kid and the owner of the Longcat can't manipulate millions into their bidding, she obviously can't.

OOC Warning: These facts are High Canon[...]
giving origin of her nickname "Lucy Nyu" as some ultra-masochist Otakus asked her to mutilate them like in the ancient anime Elfen Lied.

Serious business.

*edit: Also, couldn't Britney Spears manipulate millions of personality-less fangirls into buying something? You can't really believe she is above average, can you? That was the closest thing from the "manipulating millions" part, although its more related to spreading memes than anything else, thus essentially irrelevant. It unfortunately happens, it has to do with being famous and with the mediocrity of the majority, and both conditions exist in this case.
