How's my driving?

The rules of the game are as follows: comment to this post with a list of your characters. Other players will provide constructive criticism and positive feedback. You do the same because community is built on reciprocity, we are told.

While we would prefer everyone be honest and open with each other and we would hope you'd feel safe voicing concerns, anonymous commenting is permitted. However, moderators will be moderating; we don't have any marshmallows, so we don't want flames going on here. Wanking is forbidden. If you don't have anything nice to say, phrase what you do have to say politely.

That said, please don't post here if you don't feel able to handle constructive criticism. A well thought-out, helpful critique can be a wonderful thing and shows that people care. When you're critiquing others, try to be specific about what works and what doesn't, as that can be very useful for pinpointing what a player should keep and what a player should let go.

Commence!

No, Irving. Killing eight year olds is bad. Even if they do grow up to be irritating Coordinators.

That's blackmail, Brax!

what about using eight-year-olds to kill other people?

No, it's part of his mandate: to preserve the past and in doing so safeguard the future.

That's bad too, especially when they're your best friend's son.

Narvin promises to find his way back on Brax's Collection to destroy that holo.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
He did it out of looooooooooooooove---oh god he has a Time Lord's idea of love

Braxiatel would respond with long monologue about the development of print technology in Earth's history and how it affected what it meant to keep a text alive, but what he really means is that Narvin can't destroy the holo when Brax has duplicates.

[identity profile] helical.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
He really does. Time Lords suck at love. Possessiveness, on the other hand...

That's what Braxiatel thinks. Narvin is totally bluffing.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
You mean possessiveness isn't love? That's going to come as a shocker.

Yes, yes it is what he thinks. And he still thinks it.

[identity profile] helical.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
It does to most Time Lords. Does he really want to compared to Rassilon?

It would be such a shame if Narvin had to breech all of the Collection's defences in order to get each duplicate.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
ewwwwwwww no Rassilon tried to do crazy things to his little bro

The lengths to which Narvin claims he would go to retrieve the copies only proves what value they are. And Braxiatel can't help that, as a collector, he hates to give up valuable things.

[identity profile] helical.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
He is also first among possessive bastards. Don't be a possessive bastard, Brax!

Just wait. Narvin's going to start carrying around a holorecorder, so that when something inevitably happens to Brax, he'll be ready. Maybe he'll catch another breakdown; something to show the Council if they ever think about rescinding Brax's exile.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
He's a collector. It's in the job description!

It is telling in a tragic way that Narvin considers his child-self's desire for physical affection to be equivalent to a psychological breakdown inspired by the assorted pressures under which Braxiatel works. So sad, so sad.

[identity profile] helical.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
People don't generally appreciate being considered the same way one would consider a Ming vase.

Narvin think Brax should take care of his own psychological issues before he comments on anyone else's.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
People don't generally realize just how much Brax appreciates Ming vases!

That is a diversion from Braxiatel's assertion.

But people aren't objects!

But a valid one.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yes they are! They are objects that are even more breakable and difficult to care of than non-living objects. They require very special handling to be maintained, as they get damaged and lost at the simplest provocations. And there simply is no extending them past their natural lifespan without losing something of the original work.

It doesn't detract from Brax's argument.

[identity profile] helical.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Has Brax considered that maybe they don't want his care?

Brax hasn't offered any to Narvin's, either.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Considered and rejected.

That Braxiatel has psychological issues? It's true and not a matter of debate. The point stands that Narvin is horrified by the thought of anyone knowing he, as a child, sought and received an embrace.

[identity profile] helical.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Omega says 'hi', Rass.

It's none of anyone's business.

[personal profile] semantics 2010-10-28 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
In some circles, that would be a compliment.

Certainly not. And that is why Braxiatel will keep the holos safe for Narvin.

[identity profile] helical.livejournal.com 2010-10-28 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but would Braxiatel consider it to be a compliment?

Narvin trusts his own security far more than Braxiatel's.

...No, but despite being arrogant and patronizing, he has an accurate enough idea of his own failings to accept that the comparison may not be entirely faulty.

Then it's a shame he doesn't have a choice in the matter.
