NEED SUPPORT!!!

naanima: (buddies ^_^V)
Was very productive today. Two chapters of study notes have been completed, and in addition, might get paid a bit of money for a small job done. Now I'm really bored, I just don't know what to do (actually there's a list, but I'm not doing them until I drown two bottles of wine).

So, name a character (or as many as you want), from any fandom, so I can rant/rave/fangirl about them. This is not for your enjoyment so much as something I can do in between working, and studying. It should suitably alleviate me boredom (and allow me to procrastinate), and maybe I can turn it into 3000+ words essays. HELP ME WITH THE PROCRASTINATION BOREDOM!!!

Something from the In Nomine fandom. O:>

A Full Metal Alchemist one?

In Nomine fandom... they have real pretty names. Knew nothing about the fandom, and now I know it is about angels, demons and the armageddon. But wow, talk about the list of names. I really like the names of 'Daniel' and 'Aisha' ^_^V (now, I must find more info on this fandom, hmm, I might even finally read the fics for the fandom. But first I must know more.)

Question; is there a linear plot/timeline somewhere? In addition, do you have a favoured character?

FMA: I really love Roy Mustang. While I love his dork moments I love his sheer brilliance more. His wanting to better the world, his willingness to sacrifice so much but never everything, that is not his, for the goal, because, to him, journey does matter as much as the destination. I wish the anime had let him be the Fuehrer. To think; the military coup, the revolutions, the reforms, oh, the wonderful intrigue. But I understand they did it (and it does work), but to have seen Roy Mustang become Fuehrer.

FMA: Mmm, I am so glad I am getting the manga as well as the anime. The five year old is only now getting into the Tenchi series...


In Nomine: There is actually not a metaplot running in the core IN line. While there are hopefully going to be more "Cycles," metaplot-like adventure arcs, it's my intention to make them self-contained enough that you can mix and match. So if you don't want to do the Revelations Cycle, but you do want to do the Grigori Cycle, for instance, no problem, even if Rev did come first.

For a timeline of the history of In Nomine, the published one is in the Game Master's Guide. For an overview of people, you'd need the core rules (currently out of print!), GURPS In Nomine (serves same function), or perhaps In Nomine Anime, which has approximately one box of actual mechanics and some nice overviews of the people, especially in anime terms.

Or you can dig up the World Weavers links, or Harukami's links, which are more free. O:>

My Interesting Times stuff has armageddon in it; other people's fics have that as a sometime in the indefinite future thing, while the Rev Cycle has an attempt for someone to try to force it to happen.

Um, does that help?

Questions, questions. What is the significance of a 'servitor'. what is a 'word'. I think I understand, but the list of names and the Tirad-thing is very intimidating.

This does actually help, I can at least place where IT is in the plot of things.

Servitors are the angels who, well, serve an Archangel and seek to promote that particular worldview... And Word. A Word is... a concept which a Superior (Archangel, Demon Prince) is bound to -- the Archangel of the Wind has weather affinities and can be a bit flighty. The Archangel of the Sword is military, and views himself as a literal weapon of God -- and his people as his own weapons.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Lust has power over the flesh... and the needs of the flesh, at least in certain areas. And the Princess of Freedom has... well, both the irresponsibility of "whatever I want" and general "coercion harms my Word, my power, my self" attitudes.
