Quote from Jeanette on Jun 11th, 2017, 9:33am:Quote from Fernando on Jun 11th, 2017, 12:26am:You misread this. The only way Sheri could have returned is if she was a Wessen, meaning – look at Tina. Her only return is as the wessen Teri. That is what I meant.
I can only think of three possible ways in which Sheri could be alive. She would either have to be an Immortal, Haibane or Wesen. Once you figure out why a human becomes Haibane, then you will understand how it is possible for Sheri to be alive.
Once you figure that out, you may wonder why there aren't even more Haibane. I too wondered about that. The series
Haibane Renmei does not answer that question.
With thousands and possibly millions of mutation possibilities out there, there would be less Haibanes out there as there will be other kinds of mutants out there among the numbers. For example, Lieutenant Benson has 6-fingers. Who knows what other mutations she might have covered up by her clothes, but she is just a few of them. But in having it this way, you are limiting and even crippling this world in the number of possibilities of mutations out there.
If you want to consider that the mutates are mutants, for the sake of argument there is and we can call them all as Mutants, then there are two types – Natural Mutants, and Artificial Mutants.
Natural Mutants are either born or created by exposure to radiation or chemical. Of the two, Natural is better because a person has a whole life to obtain the abilities of the mutation and perfect its use. An added benefit is that they have a natural life. Exposure to radiation or chemical, one is suddenly given a mutation and little to no time to adapt to it. Furthermore, the exposure itself could have poisoned them into a shorter life span. They can become the most powerful mutant around, but being limited to years, if not months, being all that powerful does not amount to a hill of beans when one wants to live longer.
Artificial Mutants are those created in the Lab like Lab Town. This can be small or a large Lab doing this. Why? Who knows, who cares. But in doing they have created things like Wessens and Mooks. (Mooks can also be the result of a Natural Mutant exposed to something out there.)
I have seen Haibane Renmei, and it is a rather boring anime. If you want to discuss mutants and prejudices, you should watch or read
Elfen Lied and
Brynhildr in the Darkness. Warning, they are very graphic and with Elfen Lied it goes past into an extreme, but in both it is a love story within the characters. I would prefer that you do both, watch the animes and read the mangas. The Mangas go into areas not covered in the Animes, and in fact, the Animes do a lot of cutting out of details from the Mangas. For example – the Elfen Lied Manga ends at chapter 106, but the Anime ends in Chapter 73, so a lot of material missing between the anime. Haibane Renmei boring not because of its lack of graphic violence or nudity; it is boring because of lack of story sustenance. It is a copy of “one being different and hunted down because of it” prejudice. This is seen in all kinds of cartoons and comics and Haibane Renmei quickly goes nowhere with it. Even CDRR has this motif in a few of its stories.
If you want to talk about groups and how they should work to help each other, watch
Girls Und Panzer. Both you and Arik would love that. And it is not as violent as the title would suggest – girls and tanks. Even Hondo would love it, because it is about geek girls fixing old tech that they found and restoring tanks into working competition state. And this is what the group is doing – getting vehicles and spending resources to get them running to increase the team.
Quote from Jeanette on Jun 11th, 2017, 9:33am: Quote from Fernando on Jun 11th, 2017, 12:26am:Let’s take Pre-Civil War American History. Negroes/Blacks/African Americans/Etc slaves - outnumbers whites – both Rich Whites and Poor Share-Cropping Whites. This is because the plantations had a huge number of slaves with many having a minimum of twenty. Even Share-Cropping Whites owned 1 or 2 slaves. But because the majority of these slaves never saw the outside of their plantations, their numbers seemed small and insignificant. But in the area of their town, they outnumbered the whites significantly. IT is the same here and in a few other places.
I'm satisfied with that explanation.
Quote from Fernando on Jun 11th, 2017, 12:26am:OK, I’ll answer that for you. The statement was: “all Spirits hate wastefulness and destruction and want to protect Mother Earth.”
This is not true. The Texas Spirits do not represent all the Spirits/ETs on Earth. There are several to many Spirit groups that would want to see the pollution and destruction done to end, but many have not done anything to stop it despite their advance technology. Others want it to continue so they can get it themselves through deals or agreements. Lastly, there is a remaining group that wants to see the waste so they can interfere with mankind and make statements in order to promote their nefarious operations. They want to continue the wars, the discontent, the economic inequality, and so on. Worst, they are the ones that abduct human individuals to experiment on, even killing them in the process.
The profile I wrote is for ALL Spirits, not just the Texas Spirits. If you want to write Spirits, follow the profile.
If this were true, then there would be no evil Spirits to cause mankind grief and sorrow throughout his existence. In fact, if this were true, then by your past explanation of what happened during the chaos, then it never would have happened because the Texas Spirits would have not done anything at all and it the events they were striving for never had happened. So according to this – this time line does not exist at all.
When Lucifer tricked Even into eating the apple, he probably was pissing into its roots. This is just an example of an Evil Spirit as he did not cared about the Tree of Knowledge. In reading the old books, there two trees, the second one was the tree of life. If Eve would have eaten from that tree, she would have became an immortal as would any of her children. But Lucifer made sure that Eve paid more attention to the Tree of Knowledge and made her forget about the Tree of Life. In that, Lucifer got what he wanted - the downfall of man from the very beginning.
And yet Spirits, the evil spirits who are hostile to man, are still doing this to this day. You think that they would want the earth to be green and prosper? Oh hell no! They want to watch it burn by the actions of our/man’s hands! To them we are just mere entertainment!
The Texas Spirits are a bunch of inept idiots who are sitting with their thumbs up their asses thinking that they are the solution to the world’s problems when they are not. They are nothing more than just a bunch of egos that want to be stroked and satisfied and get up and point, “Look at what we had done!” when they did nothing! If they are as almighty and powerful as they say they are, they would not need us to do their dirty work for them. Only an evil spirit does that. So that definition goes out the window when even your own Texas spirits do no not abide by the rules.
Quote from Jeanette on Jun 11th, 2017, 9:33am: Quote from Fernando on Jun 11th, 2017, 12:26am:My problem is not with how Wilma or Jason reacts to this. My problem is that you took character(s) that I introduced and wrote them far out of character.
Twice I had Fernando to tell Moro to leave Jason and drop the subject. That is where it should have been left alone. Or Moro should have talked to Fernando or Jeanette about it and act on what was discussed and agreed upon. That never happened. You took them and did with them as you pleased. I further wrote to tell Jason to leave ‘our’ group alone, instead you had him go to Moro. I wrote his reactions to show that he was emotionally disturbed. You (through Moro) did not picked that up.
Then you selected Sheri and had her as a Haibane which I try to explain that is not possible. She is too far advanced in age to undergo such a transformation. Her brain would have been hardwired set to the body she had and that is not going to change no matter what mutation she may have underwent. In short, with no neural connection of her wings to her brain, they would not be moveable, they would not have feeling like hands and feet, they would be limp useless numb and paralyzed set of extra appendages best to be amputated. That paints for a very ugly picture of Sheri being a Haibane. If you would have selected Sheri and left her alone as a human, though I would question why you are doing this, I would have been fine with it. Instead you took Sheri and “Jumped the Shark” with her. That is my problem with it.
I introduced characters and you took them and did what you wanted as you please with them. You did this to make the Spirits look good. The only thing you are proving is Future Fernando’s statement of “The Spirits should have left things alone and let them run on their natural course.” They are not leaving things alone in order to look good and they are not. They are making themselves look worse. And believe it or not, I thought the Spirits #$@!ed up and merged two individuals together during teleportation, making a Normal Sheri into a Haibane Sheri by accident. Instead you wrote that she is a mutant and got her wings later in life, which is an impossibility as per much of the Sci Fi Genre out there and the rules of Neural Pruning.
Tina was turned into a Wessen early on, having lived her Wessen life as Teri, both a Sex Kitten to Master Jenkins and a Living Doll and even Sex Kitten for Maribelle Jenkins. If Sheri would have survived, she would have been turned into a Wessen like her daughter and then sold to the Jenkins or to some other family.
Do you want me to delete those posts?

You are the moderator of this thread. You decide what is to be done. Like you tell us – “this is not how it is supposed to be, change it!” it is your turn to tell yourself the same thing.
The options are:
1) Keep it as is and send this RPG into the ground.
2) Make changes to the entries. Either Sheri is a Wessen (even at 5% minimal DNA modification and still recognizable as Sheri) or she is a 42 year old human.
3) Delete the posts.
My preference, if you want Sheri around for some other reason, is #2. But it is your choice to make.
