Title: Sekrit Vices
Post by: Ciarente on 14 May 2011, 09:40
We all have them IRL - the quarterback who's read Twilight eleventy-million times, the university professor who re-arranges his teaching schedule to be home for All My Children every day (trufax: when I was at university gadgets that could record stuff from your television were still a Big Deal), the 'it' DJ who collects Spode china ...

What's your character's 'sekrit vice'? Cia's is 'Tru Blood' (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=1129.0).

Nice question, but...

Mata's secret vice, such as it is, is, well, private. You need to RP for it to get it.

Yeah, the point of Nikita's being a secret is well...that its a secret.

But giving some sort of indication as to why anybody else might care might actually lead to interaction.

Also, some things aren't deep dark secrets, just slightly embarrassing to the character. I need to think of one.

Relax, people. It's about sekrit vices, not secret ones - stuff that the vast majority of characters aren't going to bother trying to find out about yours in RP. What point does just posting, "It's a secret," serve? If you don't want to share it, just don't post.

Ko: She has a few. One is a guilty pleasure for romance novels. Does that datapad show production and research information, market data, personnel reports, dodgy secrets, or the latest tragic tale of starcrossed lovers?

An alt: She'll go out of her way, by several jumps, to find a dive with the best fried Caldari seafood.

Actually, it doesn't even need to be their real sekrit vice. Just a prompt to get people thinking about their characters in a different way.

I bet there are more than a few Caldari male patriots who like the feel of satin panties and Amarrians strolling around wearing only their robes. :P

oh okay fine. Nikita has a thing for really crappy Gallentean holo-flicks, the sort that make you facepalm, the sort completely ripped off of actual blockbuster holos.

Also, she has more of a thing for blood raiders then she tries to let on.

That's a secret? I thought it was common knowledge at this point.

The real secret is that he wants to cook her dinner and give her a footrub first.

I'm not sure any of Vieve's vices are sekrit.  Er, no.  One is. She did keep a set of the prototype capsuleer action figures (http://"http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=917139&page=1#17") that JOUET halted production on and destroyed because Celeste and Sussan decided they were tasteless.  When Jake's not home and she's very bored, she gets them out and stages little plays (or parodies IGS discussions) with them.

Celeste is a fan of Caldari or Caldari-style action holos (e.g. the Overtime movies, which are the Die Hard-meets-24esque adventures of a LDPS janitor).   She also owns an entire, non-bootlegged collection of the Ambeke Waypoint holoseries that didn't even approach popular when she was a teenager, but is now -- dubbed from the original Miesimo -- is a cult favorite in some parts of Caldari-speaking space.  She loves the series so much that her son was originally named after Marcus Borbon, the station's enigmatic who-does-he-really-work-for maintenance supervisor; she finds it a tragedy that production on the series was shut down before that question was answered.

(And she'd be at least mortally embarrassed if Marcus Gord ever got the idea in his head that the kid was named after him.  Or found out about the kid, for that matter.)

Sabi has a serious sweet tooth.  Marshmellows are a particular weakness.

Cowboy holos though I doubt they would exist in eve. Also cop type dramas like eve versions of Flashpoint, NCIS, and Law and Order. Super Sekrit vice would be an eve version of Sons of Anarchy probably based around the Guristas or Cartel.

Cowboys will always be around...just like ninjas and pirates, only better.  :P Consequently, sometimes Jack likes to dress up as one in his quarters like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q3pdj9p6yI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q3pdj9p6yI)

Inara has a couple (read: a lot) of vices tbh, most are kept quiet in IC terms. The only one that isn't public knowledge really is the fact that she absolutely loves doting on her adopted daughter, Inara will go to many lengths to see that little girl smile but make sure other people don't know that's what she's doing it for.

Known not-so-sekrit vices include: Nerve Sticks, hedonistic tendencies, regular massage therapy visits, and control.

Izzy likes big fluffy pillows.  She makes pillow forts with them when nobody is looking. ._.
