Dead Parents - Cawdor - 03-02-2009
the cylon faction will fail (!) since its obvious to everyone that the whole of sirius consists of nothing but cylons! I mean, seriously, did you ever see an escape pod?:P

I was originally going to have some great RP considering the state concerning my supposedly dead parents, but sadly my connection went poof before I had the chance to start.

true.. in situation when we all are cylons is faction "cylons" a bit pointless:laugh::laugh:
Dead Parents - tazuras - 03-02-2009
Uhh, the cylon faction is the ones who know they are Cylons? Anyway, about dead parents...
Dead Parents - JakeSG - 03-02-2009
I had parents... I think one ran off to join the Order, and the other was eated by Wildekin. But that was a long time ago.

I suppose it depends. It's hard to not have dead parents if the character is old.
But having some tragic parental death is a good way to go. My Gaian's mother was tragically killed several years ago. Though variety is good, as another character is actually his father and thus his wife was tragically killed several years ago.
Of course, another character's parents were tragically killed, but they're also the children of another character of mine, so does that count?
Quote:I rarely see anyone getting her husband or his wife killed ...
My one IMG's wife was killed (see above), but I wonder if there's a difference in perspective between this and the parent thing. For one, if it's parents that are dead, the character could be much younger and thus prone to more chaotic, irresponsible behavior afterward. Claude dealt with it by living in near seclusion and mining niobium - not quite exciting material, you know?
Dead Parents - Linkus - 03-02-2009
Folks, stop killing the parents.
Instead use the new end all reason:
AMNESIA!
Who needs all those pesky questions about the parents or anything in your past?
Simply claim Amnesia and be free of all questions whilst also having to 'relearn' everything again, making people go easy on your mistakes!

' Wrote:on a more serious note, I think you are right about the reason for this is that most of the uses in here are still kids. but its rather like tazuras said. Many of them are still bound to their parents pretty strong, thus having their parents dead is used as the strongest motivation factor for their chars. (vengeance, becoming sociopaths, getting recruited by pirates, joining the military etc.etc.)
I rarely see anyone getting her husband or his wife killed ...
Did it when I first joined/rping

*goes and starts writing some RP about a dead spouse*
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?ac...t=0#entry331857 did that already, though think it would be appropriate to say that my character was "killed' too
My LN character is married to Clara Walker (foreshadowing hrm?), and both parents are alive
Dead Parents - Saigo.Watanabe - 03-02-2009
Meh, most of my characters have parents.
My junker's parents are dead but most of the other ones are alive,
though they dont get mentioned much:P
Dead Parents - Jinx - 03-02-2009
my chars still have parents - only they are already quite old ( considering that E.Tate ( jinx ) is around mid 40s and Clover is about late 30s )
