This post is just a semi-organized bunch of information that clarifies where me and my characters are going. The OOC section is just my RP etiquette so there's as little confusion as possible, while the IC side is simply character quirks that I had nowhere else to put, or were so important they're worth mentioning again. I'll be constantly updating this as I think of more things.
OOC Notes - Writing with me.
-I'm perfectly fine with RPing someone else's character, and them using mine. I tend to wait a few posts before using someone's character simply because I like to get a feel for the way they write them, but this isn't always the case. It's usually something I figure out in advance.
-Post order is nice, but not necessary. If my life takes over, I have no problem being skipped. Likewise, if it simply makes sense for another writer to go instead of me, that's cool, too. I also have no problems with double posting or anything like that.
-The amount of time between posts isn't a big deal. If we aren't in contact at all I'll wait a little over a week, unless I know for sure you're coming back. If I do go a separate way, I'll typically use NPCs and the environment to respectably and believably separate our characters, that way you have enough to work with when you come back. Here's an example.
-Post length does not matter to me, either. I tell the story in however many words it takes. That said, I obviously try and get both characters into the fortnightly.
-If you have any questions about my characters, feel free to PM me.
IC Notes - Writing with Matrix
-While it seems like a little detail, it's fairly important to his character from a personal perspective. Under almost every circumstance imaginable, Matrix will never freely give out his first name of "Enzo" as he is ashamed of the child he used to be. He will always go by the name Matrix and introduce himself as such. I don't even use his first name in most narratives or descriptions, simply because he has disassociated himself from that name so greatly.
-Matrix is gruff, rude, impatient, and easy to anger. However, it is because he simply never learned to act any other way, as he grew up pitted in countless survival scenarios. Deep down he's actually a fairly insecure and awkward guy, with the hardened badass exterior simply being what he needed to get along. When he gets to know someone well enough he can be comfortable around them and friendly. However, it is difficult for him to make friends.
-On a similar note, it's very likely that the only reason he didn't grow up into a raging psychopath was from the loving influence of his girlfriend AndrAIa. If she is around as his assist/secondary, she can typically talk him into some level of reason. If she isn't, Matrix might be prone to acts that are more rash than normal.
-Matrix, AndrAIa, and any character taken from the Reboot media have a unique way of speaking. They live in a world inside a computer, so some of their basic terminology is computer lingo. There is no direct translation of time from normal language to theirs, but typically a "Nano" is a very very short amount of time, akin to minutes or few hours, while a "Second" to them is actually closer to months or years. Things are not "stupid" or "idiotic" to them, they are "Basic", and they don't know the concepts of heaven and hell, but will typically refer to "the Net" in a good light similar to the heaven, while "the Web" has hell's negative connotation. These are just a few examples, if you haven't seen the show. Basically, their words tend to center around computer related phrases and words.
-Combat-wise he prefers his firearm, simply named "Gun" as his primary means of attack. For writers making use of him in any scenario, Matrix can freely switch between the various fire modes listed on his Moves roster page, and long as it's practical in the situation.. He is also a good unarmed fighter, but he relies more on physical strength than finesse, though he does have a few martial arts type tricks up his sleeve.
-AndrAIa has a trident that typically stays with her but will also be with Matrix sometimes. If he has it, it can also be freely written as a weapon. I'll make sure to clarify out of the RP thread if it is or isn't available.
-His cyborg right eye with turn over and twist to display a red "M" when he targets anything. This symbol can glow with varying intensities. When not in a combat situation, it will not glow when active, but all the functions and the same. He can scan in various forms of imaging (night vision, thermal, etc) and get statistical read outs on anyone. It is also his link to the Dataverse, and he can go all of his browsing mentally, with it displayed on the eye. For clarity, this robotic eye is his representation of Advanced Senses, Insight, and Mobile Dataverse Device.
-But seriously I die a little inside every time people miss all the cues and notifications to call him "Matrix" and not "Enzo"
