Dice Scum, the series.

[RM 810]

Fixed the first part. Second part? I'm gonna shift the onus onto @Adamska .

Suggestions?

Cheers, and suggestions for plot or characters you mean? I'm shit at writing, but interactions between Onan and not Hayden should be interesting, especially if she's against the medicalisation of being trans (Aiden is definitely transmed/truscum though) I found that some religious people who are against gay people are actually fine with trans stuff as they see it as an illness rather than a lifestyle or something.

Not Hayden (Deoiridh?)'s game should be interesting, I'm picturing them making orcs or something victims of racism from the evil elves and humans, and all the good NPCs are trans and gay and all the evil ones are straight, cis and white.

Simple: he doesn't bathe that often. Hence the sudden change to being clean.

Hurricane is likely coming tomorrow, so Sunday is when I'd be willing to help write, as I'm busy today.

Thanks, that's a lot more straight forward than I thought it was going to be.

Is it weird that I think Stephen would be completly fine and accepting that Aiden is transgender simply because of the fact that there's tons of anime that features gender-swapping and the like? Like his reasoning about it all is a bit off, but in the end he treats Aiden the same way he always has. Aside from kinda suspecting he's a magical girl at times lol

Edited the first post. Please correct me or tell me what information I forgot. Kind of rushed it. Added an "other characters" section, just giving two rare characters that show up.

We've got the two character sketches of Aiden and Stephen we could link on the front page. I think someone did some sketches of their general body type as well.

Oh, and the additional scene for episode 2 that I wrote.

Edited original post.

- Drawings (though I still need to give credit)
- @SteelPlatedHeart 's additional scene.

So, my American friend here introduced me to a concept that might slip into the show at one point. It's called the "Axe bomb".

It seems that there are roleplayers and Magic players that come into the store smelling like a corpse. Even though stores may have a sign that say "If your hygiene is horrible, we will ask you to leave.", they still show up.

Some players have apparently gotten tired of non-enforcement, and have taken to carrying around spray deodorant. If the rank shambler comes into the store, they will sneak up behind the offender and spray them down with Axe, thus "Axe bomb".

I would probably vomit if that happened, because I find Axe one of the most offensive deodorants on the planet. They fiercely burn my sinuses out. So, Old Spice bomb, or something. Just a little clip that gets one of the characters suspended from the store for a week. Tram, most likely.

Tram (or one of the less-characterized people) does it to Hayden or Chris.

I'm seeing Tram being more and more a ticking time-bomb with those who aren't close friends. He's nice, polite, dark sense of humor. He is very patient, but the moment he's finally had enough, he bites back. Often asymmetrically so. It's a brief explosion before he slinks back into the nice guy mode.

Which is why Tram would be the Axe bomber. Someone keeps coming in, smelling rank. Tends to sit near and makes Tram gag. Other people somehow put up with it, being polite. Until one day he sits next to Tram in an Organic Universe game...

I like how we keep switching on Tram's gender. Shows the character is the same regardless of if they're a boy or girl. I personally think female, just because we don't have a main character as a girl, but maybe we can decide once we start looking for VAs for everyone.

And I'm in agreement that it be Hayden or Chris that gets Axe Bombed

Yeah-I'm not saying that we have to be Tumblr and have two girls for every guy in the group, but a bit of gender balance never killed anybody. I'm leaning towards Chris as the bombed, simply because Chris wouldn't notice hygiene on his own.
And I just realized that we can take as long as we want on Dice Scum and it'll still come out before Gen Zed.

Maybe they're non-binary you shitlord, you ever think of that?

For real though, I vote girl, a bit of variation is nice.

 

[Orthodox Chrischanity]

With @rookie 's quick sketch, Tram is very androgynous, probably moreso than Aidan. She-Tram could be the dominant force. Clever, tinged with a little bit of sadism when Chris and Stephen show vulnerability in the games. Unforgiving if people do something stupid when she's running a game.

Maybe something like the goth girl in this video:

 

[女鬼]

I think having Tram as a girl would be cool.
She could be the kind of laid back jeans-and-T-shirt kind of girl who's really nerdy but doesn't make a big deal out of being a g33k grrl.

She could have a feud with Hayden who accuses her of not being a true and honest "WoC" over not sharing his radical SJW opinions on race or something.

Edited the first post giving credit to the artists. I forgot to make a note on the Hayden's "name change" Hayden is her deadname! So she chose a name fitting for her love of all things Scottish. I'm sure she thinks it's pronounced Deborah or something.

In my experience, they usually create something that doesn't even exist as a name in order to be more "unique". Just look at any character's name in Assigned Male. Stephie, Sandr@, Ciel, Myrick...

EDIT: Okay, I've got two names Hayden could go with, mainly because the meaning of those names is hilarious in context to him.

Senga - slender/holy
Andrina - feminine forms of Andrew, from Greek meaning 'Man"

Hayden: Don't call me that. My name is Senga.
Tram: Alright, sorry, Jenga.
Hayden: Senga!
Tram: Alright, alright. Geez, you love Sonic that much?

I couldn't think of a good name. Looked up "Scottish names", saw something with a "d", as I couldn't find a name beginning with H. Heidi is Germanic. Deoiridh means "Pilgrim", but I like the holy aspect of Senga. What does everyone else think?

Senga's good. I say Hayden gives it an unnecessary strong Scottish accent to it whenever he says it too.

We could have Hayden change names regularly. When people finally manage to get their new name right, they decide on a new and even more outlandish one, and kick up a fuss when people use the older one, à la Ahuviya.

I almost want to reference Hayden getting in trouble at Sears now for doing it to him, but ultimately he's not THAT dumb in my head; he knows that if he doesn't work and gets fired his parents might actually get harsh on him. That and he gets more than enough attention for being a tranny as is. But on these mongrels he doesn't care as much since they're problematic.

Maybe the fact that she's a tomboy makes Hayden keep trying to convince her to be trans (non-binary though, not an icky trans guy) More reason for Hayden and Tram to hate each other.

Hayden does need some redeeming qualities though, these guys don't seem like the type to let them hang around because transphobia or something.

His redeeming quality is his tendency to go all-out, especially on LARPing (plus, he does play the tabletop games well).

I think now is a good time to set this group to Invite Only.
