Depending on how far or serious this thing gets I've made some boss / villain types. Govias: A halfling (DND version of a Hobbit) that kind of had a skull kid like experience where an evil mask became attached to his face, turning him into a warlock. Chaotic Neutral alignment. Vomm: A human berserker type, a former general that lives for war and destruction. Lawful Evil alignment. Viira: A former slave that sold her soul to escape her fate, becoming a warlock. Chaotic Evil alignment. Vahalen: A Tiefling (DND version of a half-demon), him being an evil bard. Chaotic Evil alignment.

Terrell was caught off guard by the centaur's outburst, him being knocked off from his stool. The Dwarven pirate simply had a drunken blurt of laughter until he accidentally spilled some rum over himself, something that went completely unnoticed by himself. "Now, now, settle down girlie." He urged as he hopped down from his stool. "The name is Banarr, Captain Banarr if you fancy; Captain Shortbeard if yer feelin daring." As he said all that, Terrell got up from the ground, brushing the dirt of his legs. "That wasn't very civil there, stranger. I would ask that you remain calm, or see yourself gone." He stated calmly but in a stern manner, glaring at the centaur.

Was gonna wait for Sponges to get a word in before proceeding

The Dwarven pirate continued to sit there at the counter as he tossed down his rum, with a sullen expression, his Dwarven feet hovering a foot or two above the floor. He finally grinned ever so subtly as he could tell he was getting stared down by a bunch of other folks. "Hee hee," He chuckled in a scratchy voice. "I know, I know, ye be wonderin' why there be a pirate coming about here in some random tavern in a landlocked nation." He stated in a Scottish accent as he polished off the remaining rum before reaching inside his trench coat, pulling out a silver case, opening it up to reveal a bunch of dirty looking cigars. The Dwarven pirate placed one to his lips, using a cutting tool to cut the tip of it as he struck a match, lighting the cigar and taking a deep, satisfying drag. "There I be, about thirty knots out into the sea when a mighty kraken attacked me ship, my crew fought long and hard. I swear we made me mum proud that day." He paused to wipe a tear from his eye. "We sailed into harbor not long after to make repairs, but the second I turned me back on that ship I swear it split in two, falling to the bottom of the harbor." His sullen expression returned as he paused to mourn the loss of his ship. "That ship has been in ma family for generations... I was made on that ship; ma father was made on that ship, and his father was made on that ship..." He had an expression that showed great pain, him drowning his sorrows in more rum. "But I'll tell ya this strangers, if the Gods think they can keep this Dwarf down, they have another thing- Holy shit, is that a centaur!" He blurted out, spitting up some of his rum, him taking a brief second to wipe it up with his sleeve. While this was going on, the monk Terrell simply scuffed at all the newfound noise as he looked down to the ale for half-giants that he held. "I don't think I'm sober enough for this." He muttered softly.

Terrell just let out another soft grunt, acknowledging all that was spoken. He glance down at the bottle of ale, swirling it around a bit in the bottle. "There's certain types that half-Giants go for that prove far more effective... I only spent a brief amount of time with them and despite it being around twenty years later normal ale still fails to have an effect on me. Though to be fair my constitution is fairly substantial." The free lancer joke went over Terrell's head a bit, him being a more straight forward type of person, not much imagination. "I've never had much talent for magic." He responded, "I have a way of only taking with me what I need. I have unarmored defense (a D&D feature for monks, them having higher defense stats when not using armor or a shield), and with way of the open hand (the way my friend described that one, it's something in between street fighter and fist of the north star type of martial arts) I have no need for magic. But if you're wanting someone to come along for this venture, I could-" Before he could finish his sentence the door to the establishment was pushed open forcefully, followed by a loud footsteps marching into the inn. Terrell heard some sharp gasps before turning around to see what the commotion was... At first he didn't see anything until he shifted his gaze down by about two feet. where a Dwarven swashbuckler stood, a flintlock pistol on his hip, with a blunderbuss strapped on his back. The Dwarven pirate gazed around the room stoically with one good eye, the other having a patch over it. After a drawn out moment he went over to the counter, climbing onto one of the stools, all slumped over as he ordered a double shot of rum.

Honestly wished I lived in Texas but I know I wouldn't be able to stand the heat. -
As far as age, the characters are considered to be atleast 17, considering that's the common age for second year HS students in Japan. Makoto and Haru are both 3rd years so they'd be the magical number of 18. First playthrough I romanced Kawakami-sensei. Second one I went for Futaba, but was disappointed honestly cause I was hoping that'd lead to more dialogue with Sojiro but not really.

"Hmm" Terrell replied simply as he took in the strangers words. "Sharp eye you must have." He responded in a calm and simple manner, glancing down at bottle of ale that he held, feeling nothing even after finishing it off. "I trained among giants back in my youth. It was for a brief while, but after leaving them most normal ale no longer has any effect on me." He placed the bottle on the counter as he pushed it out of his head as he leaned forward with both his arms crossed on the counter surface. "I prefer to spend my days traveling, instead of meditating in some temple. The thing about being a monk is there's surprisingly a lot more freedom than one might think. As long as we stay true to our path and to the gods we're free to live life as we please. Some live in monasteries, others are more nomadic; you could say I fall into the later category." He glanced around the shelf behind the counter, gesturing toward a particular bottle, which was promptly served to him. He took a heavy swig of it, before shaking his head abruptly. "That one has a real kick to it." He glanced back over to the stranger, "Judging by your attire, you some like the fighter type... or are you a rogue? Could go either way I guess."

Times Toonami had to air stuff no one really wanted
Distinct Lunatic replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Also doesn't help that back with Code Geass I remember for a period of time they were airing new episodes at like 3 or 4am central time, like they wanted the series to underperform. Though one possibility is that series had a shit ton of mature themes, genocides happening every other episode, and a fair amount of sexual themes, that weren't as commonplace as its become in this past decade maybe they had to air it at that time. -
'Huh?' Terrell let out inwardly as he heard some stranger calling out to him, it being some person that he had never met before. He shifted around to face the person properly to get a better look at them... judging by all the ale and herbs burning it seemed like this person was either celebrating or in mourning, or just wasting away... or all three, you never know. "You know of me, traveler?" The only thing he could make of with this person was he had a very Orc-ish nature and attitude; before he could get another word in the barkeep handed him some ale, as well as a sweater made of wool. Terrell took the sweater, staring down at it very intently before tugging it a bit in opposite directions, it tearing too easily. "Pathetic." He muttered before tossing it off to the side, as he proceeded to the counter, sitting down on a chair with ale in hand, drinking in moderation. "You seem well informed for a mere traveler." Terrell commented, continuing to look forward, not turning to face the individual. "I belong to a monastery that worships goddess of nature Chislev. That said, I don't consider myself too fond of sitting by in some temple. I seek strong opponents, it's as simple as that." He downed half of the ale before wiping his chin. "Also that sweater over there was frail and weak, inadequate protection."

How legit will this be? A few of the guys I work with have D&D sessions, I haven't joined them but I know a fair amount of how it works. I made a few characters that I plan to use when that time comes. My go to character being a human monk, ddb.ac/characters/32969003/bMCnO2 https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D9169453/

Times Toonami had to air stuff no one really wanted
Distinct Lunatic replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Question wasn't aimed to me, but still want to give my take on it. Short answer, SAO is crap. Long answer cut to the chase, it's crap. Back when it was announced for AS several years back I went and watched all of season 1 in the span of a couple of days. I thought it was "decent" but highly, very highly, overrated. It had a good premise, but then very quickly became a harem series with just about every girl wanting Kirito's dick, him being a major Gary Stu character, with nothing interesting or unique about him. I think it was around episode 8 or so when they decided to go slice of life for a few episodes with him and Asuna, it didn't both me too much, but they really should have had all 25 episodes of that season be about SAO, cause immediately after those slice of life episodes they jumped straight to the end of that arc. The second half really annoyed me more so because it begins the trope of the series having rape happy bad guys, such as slime monsters wanting to have fun with Asuna, and then the way the season ended with that one douche trying to have his way with her there. Honestly the big tiddie cousin girl, Suguha or whatever I didn't mind... to an extent. It's more so that the second she fell for Kirito she became completely useless and mostly irrelevant. As for SAO 2 I fucking loathe that one. They even had the first episode be entirely exposition, a big chunk just being Kirito and some guy sitting in a cafe talking. When it comes to authors, exposition dumps (especially those done in cafes) need to be done carefully otherwise you completely kill the moment. When it came to Sinon, as with Suguha she became completely useless once she started wanting Kirito's dick. Also everything about her character felt forced and not natural, her past with shooting the one guy, her somehow able to have a gun in her house, as well as people able to just point their finger at her like a gun, making her practically have a stroke; and yet GGO was perfectly fine for her. Everything about the big baddie was absolute trash, also apparently Kirito was able to recall his name back in SAO despite him refusing to hear it back then. There's also the infamous "Asada-san!" scene where her friend became a complete rabid animal in his attempt at raping her. I gave up on the franchise after that. -

Honestly I think there's better pre-2010 series out there than post-2010 series. -

Distinct Lunatic replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I find it funny how those three are meant to be the main group, but the grand majority of other characters featured throughout the series are much more interesting to watch. Celty's story is still the more interesting one to follow. Roid rage guy, Shizuo is much more interesting to watch, especially when they pretty much pair him off with this blonde haired woman, and also make him an older brother figure to this one little girl in it. Both of those stories are far more interesting than the Dollars leader Mikado and his two school friends. The funny thing is they all felt so much more like random side characters in that season than in the first one. -

Season 2 wasn't even that good. I remember back when they were airing it, they had three 12 episodes parts to the season, there being gaps in between them when they were being aired. The first part I think was interesting enough. I remember season 1 pretty clearly despite not watching it in a very long time, but I barely remember season 2 cause I thought it was fucking boring. Just about all of the second twelve episodes were boring as shit, and much of the third as well. Don't think it was until the last few episodes before things got more interesting. When it comes to the three kid main characters it's all shit. Also they follow the source material more than season 1 did, which meant there was some inconsistencies that make certain things confusing and poorly explained, or not even explained at all, basically like them forgetting things that were done or explained back in season 1. And the direction the Dollars leader kid takes near the end, was so stupid and sloppy. Trust me when I say you don't want season 2 aired on Toonami. I liked season 1 well enough, but even that one honestly shouldn't be aired on Toonami. I don't think either of them would get good ratings. -
Crunchyroll Removes 77 Titles on August 1st
Distinct Lunatic replied to The1gairon's topic in Anime & Manga
Honestly MHA is the only new anime that I follow, since the grand majority of those that have been released this past decade don't interest me at all. Most of the shit I've liked has been from Trigger, with Kill la kill, little witch academia, Darling in the Franxx, also their movie Promare. I plan to watch BNA whenever I can find a good English download. -
For reasons, Netflix is now making a Splinter Cell anime
Distinct Lunatic replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
Guess he came back for a couple of roles, but some years back he did retire from acting and VAing. Though when it comes to actors they'll typically come back for one role or another. -

Meh. The majority of anime released in the past decade is weeb / ecchi / Moe bait series. -
Depends on the person on the receiving end honestly. There will always be someone with their head stuck up their ass that will get worked up over it. Bet my post here will spawn a few examples from some of our fellow board members.
