Olga is probably my favorite character. Her outfit reminds me of the occasional space bikinis we get from different old sci-fi movies. The neon colors were chosen in the same fashion and gives off an 80's feel. Her brain is partly machine, and it's powered by her outfit. http://io9.com/5910682/a-virus-that-creates-electricity
Well, I guess this was back when I was trying to justify everything with plausible explanations.
FAQ for AD1 and 2
Q: How is there a flying castle? How does that work?
A: The flying castle uses these elemental rocks that are lighter than air... (scratches head) magically.
Q: How is there an Avacado Tree for a monster? Why would it attack people if it gained no natural advantages to doing so?
A: Uhh... You'll have to ask John about that, I had nothing to do with that monstrosity.
Q: If a werewolf comes out every full moon, and full moons occur every 29.5 days, shouldn't the "werepuma" be restricted to a once per game encounter, as AD1 takes place entirely within the span of one month?
A: This isn't a very frequently asked question.
Q: How does Jeanne wear glasses in ~1600?
A: Glasses were around back then. The emo frame design that she has is completely coincidental.
Q: How is it that Dragons can eat gold and gain the ability to time travel by doing so? Where does the gold go after the Dragon eats it? What exclusive properties does gold have that other elements do not?
A: Magic.
Now for AD3, I've solved a lot of these problems before they've come up.
Q: Why does Olga wear such a weird bikini?
A: To conduct electricity for her brain controlled interface.
Q: Then why does it have all these slim cuts to make it sexy?
A: The crew is on Galactic Television, so she wears it like that for sex appeal, and to appeal to their biggest audience- Male 15-30 year olds.
Q: Why is the crew primarily female?
Old Answer: Because most of the male crew was wiped out during the initial invasion which took place during a bachelor party.
New Answer: Sex appeal.
Q: This part simply doesn't make sense!
A: AD3 switches from logical parts that don't contain much drama, to illogical parts that do contain drama by switching from reality to acting. By allowing the characters to act out their own fictional scripts, there's a lot of creative freedom when I really can't explain it, or when I'm creatively trapped within the confines of my own space station.
So what do you think of Olga? She shur is a QT pie ain't she?
The Lighthouse tower is inhabited by a lot of magically engineered monsters that provide a natural (well, mostly natural) defense system. They form an entire ecosystem; the rhinos eat the avocados, etc.. The avocados are enchanted to be territorial. (Also, I like avocado trees.)
ReplyDeleteThis particular werepuma was like a "master werepuma" or even a Werepuma Lord. He had the ability to control his transformations and mentally dominate others he infected with his werepuma curse. (And I hadn't even decided whether the werepumas even go with a lunar thing. :P )
Trolled. All in good fun though.
DeleteI always think of implications and explanations for stuff. It's just how my mind works. ;)
DeleteI wonder what Olga is gonna be like not under pressure from the aliens
