Dust Devils sounds badass to me, moreso than cartoonish. Lords of Sand and Sky sounds epic, but maybe TOO epic? As in, like Harry said, it's a bit of a mouthful. Also, where'd the sky part come from?
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Ganondorf - 10-10-2014
Lords of Sand and Thunder then? Acronyms down to L.O.S.T. So, we could be a T.V. show.
Sky was a reference to lightning coming from the sky.
Still not much caring for Dust Devils, mainly because it's SO non-threatening. "Who rules here?" "The Dust Devils."
"Watch out! The Dust Devils are coming!"
I can see how it COULD be bad-ass. But only if we were like.. bandits. We're trying to rule over all here.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Ganondorf - 10-11-2014
Decided to go with Lords of the Arid Waste. Or The L.A.W.

WE ARE THE LAW!!!! *beats civilian with a baton*
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Ganondorf - 10-11-2014
Now that we've established ourselves, at least OOC, I want to formally send out an invitation for anyone interested in joining a well-respected evil organization.
If you're interested in becoming part of our grand schemes, just say so here. After that, we'll need to work out a connection IC first, before we allow you access to the group forum.
IC connections can happen if you find us in the Dunes or where ever we may be at the time.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Omni - 10-11-2014
However, we're probably going to be occupied for quite a few months, no? Enel and Ganondorf, that is.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Ganondorf - 10-11-2014
Indeed. Sans some reason for us to hold off on our current plans, you'll need to put some work in to find us.

I'm glad you didn't go with Desert Storm, because that would have been terrible.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Omni - 10-11-2014
You're terrible. You're a robot. And that's terrible.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Proto Man - 10-11-2014
It's just that I would have thought of George Bush and Republicans every time.
I would have had to start callin' Ganondorf Dick Cheney and Enel George W Bush
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Ganondorf - 10-11-2014
I like how you made me the better Republican.
And by better, I mean more evil.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Omni - 10-11-2014
GWB is probably appropriate for Enel.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Inlumia - 10-12-2014
This groups sounds . . . useful.
Inlumia is always looking for ways to expand his influence and control as well as a bit of fun.
Taking control of a verse and lessening the influence of a totaltarian regiem would be in lines with what his faith strives for. Backstabbing and manipulation of fellow members would be expected, of course.
Still, he wouldn't want TTWNN to break away from Coruscant yet; it can be very useful as a pawn. While the Empire is supplying the town, they can stockpile their assets and maybe trade the good elsewhere for other assets the town can use.
Other groups this group and Inlumia would be at odds with include Dracula and Diablo.
Nice to have allies whoes death and horrible mutilations you don't have to worry about.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Proto Man - 10-12-2014
The Town with No Name isn't really affiliated with Coruscant in any sense of the word.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Ganondorf - 10-12-2014
Proto is right. The TWNN is more of an independent entity. However, they do rely on Coruscant for supplies. The Empire DOES have a presence nearby.

So, to res this topic, I would like to ask for feedback on my last post. It is a mature one with some potentially upsetting content - I tried to be as true to each character as I could.
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Mickey Mouse - 05-15-2015
So, I obviously haven't been able to catch all of you guys' storyline, but I read Ganondorf's most recent post earlier and then backtracked and just read through this whole most recent thread and I wanted to pop in and tell you guys how much I loved it.
Enel and Ganondorf are both such engaging, intriguing characters the way you've crafted them, and the fact that I could get that from the very limited dose of them that this thread presents astounds me. I liked reading this little story because it was very much accessible to people who didn't have all the context, like myself; I was able to catch up on the necessary lore without reading the other threads in full, though it has inspired me to go back and read as much as I can of you guys' interaction, which I assume is extensive.
As far as, like, style goes, my favorite thing about you guys as writers (particularly here, of course) is the way you guys' action feels very living. I find it difficult to write action scenes, so reading something like "Enel wreathed her in lightning," where I can clearly picture it but at the same time it isn't overly-descriptive, is cool.
I don't know if the torture of Firani came across as brutal as you intended it, Enel -- if you intended it to very brutal at all -- but I appreciated the simplicity of it, and the little details like Firani spitting blood really colored it for me, and made me use my imagination to fill in some of the blanks; for example, I imagined her spitting more blood (although maybe not purposefully) each time Enel punched her following that.
Overall, and I've gone on too long, but I loved this little thread and wanted to pop in and say that. Oh, and if you guys are still looking for more faction members, two of the characters I'm considering for my alt might fit in well?
Re: Dune Buddies (ENEL! EIGHTEEN!) - Omni - 05-16-2015
Thanks a great deal, Mickey. In terms of the torture… Looking over, yeah it's not particularly brutal. I guess in this storyline a lot of the stuff that takes place between the end of my posts and the start of Ganon's next post is what we didn't want to show. Essentially my post fades to black, and then you can imagine exactly what happened when you next see her in Ganondorf's post.
