To Visage, Vince doesn't rp blood raider does he? Maybe if he did, he would be spot on.
Raiders are easy to hate. Hate Anya, be scared to rp with her..
Just because Vincent Pryce the character is not a Blood Raider, doesn't mean I have never played one. I have a Raider Character, who just went underground for now for the precise reason of 'Derp Raiders'. There was a distinct lack of interesting Raiders, there still is, and I don't have the energy or time to start running a corp of my own design. It's still there waiting for the right time. Now, just because you are a new kid on the block going on menstrual raider route doesn't mean your opinion carries for shit on how it's done, or should be done. If you'd actually listen to what the more experienced people around you say - and take advice where it's given, you might find yourself received better, instead of dismissing them with "I'm right and besides you don't even play a Blood Raider". There are also plenty of characters with Sani Sabik with both leanings and devout practices, they just do not flaunt it in your face. Just because you do not see it doesn't mean it's not there.
You say you have read the books and the source material, yet you seem to miss everything actually written down in lore. Lets start with the Red God is Satan. No, it ain't nearly quite as black and white as that. Sani Sabik is an alternate interpretation of a pre-existing deity. Much like the difference between Catholic and the more extreme Pentacostal snake handling offshoots of Christianity. They both believe to be doing God's work in their own way, neither identifies their deity as the Devil. Neither do the Blood Raiders. You'd know this if you had actually read TBL. Blood Raiders do not view themselves as "Evil" they view themselves as righteous believers doing God's work. Much like the Amarr, heir concept on how to best server God is rather different, but to them it is how it is supposed to be the status quo of things.
I must say that Anya is neither scary or intimidating ooc or ic, both me and my character view her at best a pathetic joke among the capsuleers. He has no desire or need to interact with a useless poser, not worth wasting an emotional effort over. Vince enjoys mocking her on the Summit/IGS/Intergalactic summit, but that's about the extent of his interest. However, as you said, you will play your character as you want. Nothing is going to stop that. I just pointed out why the majority of the community can't be arsed with you and your projects.
Because they are tired of that shit. Get original, get creative. Respect the lore.
For an actually scary Sani Sabik motherfucker I would also like to point everyone's gaze to Vaden Khale. That is sinister and intimidating done right. He's written some very impressive shit, and done shit in both RP and space. His celebration of Sabikannen is pretty nifty, if you can find it anywhere anymore.
As for
Synthia, no I actually find CTCS entertaining. It might be a bit derp raider but it's not babyeating space lesbian patrol in space. Plus, your outward appearance could very well be how a southern Delve congregation might look on the outside. I have no idea what you guys do behind closed doors so I can't really say more.
Zenariae, well, while you might feel that way and to a degree you are correct. This community judges one guilty by association, and carry grudges very long. However, if you actually do your homework and get your shit together your past derps can be overlooked. Jurou is one example of good character reform. Hell, I dug myself into some deep graves at first but managed climb out. It is all about receiving feedback and doing your homework. You mentioned you have an interest in Blood Raiders, yes the general opinion of Raider scene is low at best, but if you actually manage to pull a Raider crew together that is both impressive, does shit in space and not a fucking Captain Planet villain get-together you will earn a lot of cookie points in the process. I mean a lot. Entity like that hasn't been around since... Cruoris Seraphim, and they died off back in 2009, 2010? Though they dropped their RP towards the end all together.
Anyhow, I think I'm done with this funky thread. People with questions feel free to approach with evemail and private convos.
