OKAY. Hiatus for Virgil and Aerrow. Because I'm being topped by essays hard. I'll still be around on gmail and IRC though.

Okay, so I've heard some comments that I god-mode my characters. Guys, if you find a problem in any of my characters, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME UP FRONT. It's very awkward  and uncomfortable to hear someone else tell you that another mun thinks you have a problem. I would really appreciate it if you even PMed me or email or commented in any way possible, even just to tell me, "YOU SUCK AND THIS IS WHY...".  I want feedback! I love feedback. If I suck, please tell me why, so that I can fix it! I love these characters so much and nothing hurts more than hearing that I'm failing with them, but I have no idea why because no one will tell me. I won't hold it against you! In fact, I will love you forever if you tell me I suck! of course, I like it better if you have reasons, but the plain "YOU SUCK" works well enough.

Also, if you're uncomfortable with the way I say or do things (this is mainly pertaining to myself rather than my characters), feel free to kick, tell me why I'm stupid. I don't mind kicks especially because I am, in fact, an idiot, and sometimes I forget that my idiocy can in fact, bother people and people should, in fact, LET ME KNOW. GANG UP ON ME. It's all good.

[IC continuations post! Go here to pick up on any unfinished threads or if you just wanna jump him, that's cool!]

So, I was reading up some of the Static comics and found that someone uploaded bits of the volume where Virgil discovers that Rick (the character Richie is based on) is gay. The scans in question are here.

Now, I consider the comics and cartoon show completely separate from each other, but I think it's interesting to note that Virgil does have certain prejudices in the show and maybe I haven't addressed them very clearly.

Villains/Bang-Babies/Metahumans - Before, the bulk of Virgil's enemies were basically meta-humans who robbed stores, attacked people etc, etc. After a while, Virgil realized that all meta-humans aren't like that and most of them were just scared and lost. BUT. It took a while to sink in. The same doesn't apply to, for example, Harley and Ivy. Voluntary acts of  "evil" (for lack of a better word) will not be tolerated by Virgil unless you had a good reason for it (MY FAMILY IS STARVING AND I NEED THE MONEY). Here, in camp, his concept of evil will pretty much restricted to anybody who attacks other people or someone he knows. I welcome the opportunity of people hitting Virgil and telling him that he's an idiot. :/

(edit - as an extremely helpful anon pointed out earlier and I should make a note of. Virgil will not attack, hunt down etc etc of other villains. He will still converse with them normally [maybe not as comfortably as he would with anyone else but]. This mostly applies to Harley and Ivy and any other villains from Virgil's world mostly)

Guns - VIRGIL HATES GUNS. Hates them a lot. Like, Batman-level hate towards guns.  While not everyone in camp has super-powers and he understands that zombies are in fact, a threat, he kinda automatically loses respect for people with guns. This ties in with his mom-issues. Which I will essay on, one of these days.

Sexuality - This is trickier to pin down on. In the comics, Virgil has a pretty extreme reaction to finding out Rick's gay. On the other hand, when Wolfram told Virgil that he got married to Yuuri, Virgil was a bit stunned, but didn't dwell on it. SO. My thoughts on this.

Considering that Virgil has issues with racism in Static Shock the television show, I play him as rather open-minded towards race, colour and sexuality. On the other hand, while he may not have any extreme reaction towards any of these things, he may not 100% comfortable with discussing homosexuality so much until he gets to know the person really well or just trusts him in general (like the discussion with Robin. IT SET HIM BACK AT BIT but it didn't get to him so much because he knows the bat-family well enough). He's not going to make a big deal about it and will show some curiousness about how well homosexual romances in camp work! But until then he's not going to be very comfortable with it (unless of course, the extreme sap gets to him like with Wolfram and Yuuri)

A-Any questions?

Moral of this story: My canon is gayer than yours. Go watch

In response to the Boys' 15 crit,

Adding my two cents.

I'm not sure how exactly Boys' 15 function. I'm glad that now I do know. Also, Boys' 15 is full of superhero people with major trust issues. But considering the character I'm playing, any one can jump me, really. Virgil is incredibly social like that.

Richie-mun, well. That's a harder one and something I need to talk to her about. But she said once that it's hard for her to thread because Richie depends on Virgil for almost everything. So, canonically, Richie isn't open to other people so much.

And um, that's about it? But really, do jump my character regardless of whether I'm in Boys' 15 or not.

Slowed down Rping. :/

Met Link and briefly talked about blenders |  Discussed the importance of identities and family with Mikey. Also got autographs for Richie and Imp | Pizza theories with Kon |  Imp and tiki heads and toppings one should never eat |  Talked to Tim about making pizza disasters |

Talks to Robin about barriers and potential effects |  Argues with Molly about the candy bushes and zombies | 

Right, two issues that I kinda need to address here.

1. Brainiac

Virgil's run in with Evil!Brainiac was anything but pleasant. Brainiac tried to kill Static and Gear, then mind-controlled Gear, set the League on Static, tried to kill them again, tried to destroy the world and nearly caused the League to kill Richie. The last bit was the biggest issue with Virgil. He takes any attack on his friends very seriously, so seriously that sometimes even when it's not that said person's fault, Virgil will refuse to listen. (Not that he'll attack Brainiac Five. He's pretty sure that they're not the same person now). BUT should Evil!Brainiac somehow turn up in  camp and suddenly become a good guy, Virgil wouldn't give a damn. He would go after Brainiac and MAKE HIM PAY.

Virgil can be very unforgiving when it comes to Richie and his family.

2. Bang Babies in Dakota

Ever since the Big Bang, Dakota was forever changed. Meta-human attacks are incredibly common. Criminals, runaways are either reported or ignored. The Big Bang affected all of Dakota. Often it's the kids who run away, unsure of their new powers and changes that either turn criminal or just hide away from family and friends. Virgil wants to help all of them. He understands that he was one of the lucky ones and some of the kids are having a harder time than he is. Unfortunately, most of them don't want Static's help. This bugs Virgil a lot. He wants to help, but can't. Which is why he was so insistent in helping Shin with his ability.
