West, last page
Peculiar points. But yes, children can influence adults, the theme of innocence, ignorance, and cuteness is especially strong for young girls (so long as there’s good writing). BioShock 1 and 2 are good examples, Little Sisters are just so adorable, innocent, and have such a lack of understanding, that I can never kill them in the game, I always save them. I love listening to them talk, too, “Six times two is... chicken!” they actually talk like kids.

As for children in these forums, it’s not an easy subject to work with. In my case, regarding Annie and London, I try to incorporate them with the RP, but there’s only so much you can do with young kids. However, if the kids were analogous to Little Sisters, for example, then all of a sudden, their importance, the bond they could create, expands greatly.

In my opinion, children in stories are irrelevant if you cannot feel like a parental figure for them. Invoke a maternal or paternal bond, and if you can’t, don’t bother with child characters. This is one reason that Wake Up is meant to take place over the course of a decade or so. I want us to grow up with the children, so that we feel like parents. For example, Link from Ocarina of Time, and Eleanor from BioShock 2, are two examples of child characters you grow up with. I wanted to try this method in Wake Up, but it will take time.

Hm, I also try to have phases in RPs, but never got to conclude the first phase. Wake Up is nearing the end of the first phase; just a chase scene with some action, retreat, and then the revolution begins.

Azi, I'm just gonna make mention of this: if there's no way you've got to make X7A not be able to teleport out, it's gonna be a struggle for me to keep her in the middle of stuff. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Teleportation Jammers. Teleportation Jammers everywhere.

EDIT: To be fair, you could take a hint from Goku. The guy can teleport to anyone instantaneously in the universe and even across the afterlife, but he still arrives to important fights late.

Goku is the lead protagonist of the "Dragon Ball" franchise. Y'know, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super. Basically THE shonen anime of shonen animes that's been going for a good 30 years.

Eh, I'll think of something, Inferi. There's always a means to give X7A a new objective or something to keep her going, such as Nav Points leading her to the source of the AI. There's also still Morinth who will be reappearing next turn, as well as more opportunity with the Quarians, in case I must expand the current mission. However, X7A can teleport back to HQ whenever she wants, so that's always an option.


Teleportation jammers, yes.

Ha! Good point West, yes, Goku can teleport anywhere, but is always late to fights anyways! I never noticed that. Shows how much of a good anime fan I am.
