Steel impresses Chuck

[00:03:08 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Steel.

[00:03:12 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : THAT is a fucking character.

[00:03:16 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Very well done man.

[00:22:55 15/07/12] Steel Angel : thanks Chuck.

[00:23:17 15/07/12] Steel Angel : I took what you said about my character having a lack of depth.

[00:23:30 15/07/12] Steel Angel : and decided to just give him depth.

[00:25:38 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : That's exactly what I was talking about.

[00:25:46 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : We now see exactly what shapes Steel.

[00:25:49 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : What drives him.

[00:26:01 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : That short little RP made Steel Angel WAY more interesting to watch now.

[00:26:11 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Just because we know what the fuck happened to this guy that made him the way he is.

[00:27:50 15/07/12] Steel Angel : yeah I figuired the whole having an abusing father thing was far too overrated and thus wouldent make any sense.

[00:28:29 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : It was well written.

[00:28:40 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : It looked like it was going to be a typical "abusive father" scenario.

[00:28:45 15/07/12] Steel Angel : but then came the thought "as oppose to making him an abusive father, why not just make him overbearing?".

[00:28:49 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : But ended up turning into something way more interesting.

[00:29:06 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : The whole "tough love" thing is way better than the "My dather is a douche".

[00:29:06 15/07/12] Steel Angel : yeah that's why I went with that.

[00:29:09 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : father*.

[00:30:03 15/07/12] Steel Angel : exactly.

[00:30:14 15/07/12] Steel Angel : and it's just having an overbearing father.

[00:30:30 15/07/12] Steel Angel : but the fact he's still torn about the lost of his girlfriend.

[00:30:59 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : It made the whole "Steel has no reaction to his girlfriend's death" make more sense.

[00:31:18 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : You suddenly realize that Steel has essentially been trained since birth to be a fighting machine.

[00:31:27 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : That's prety much all he knows.

[00:31:51 15/07/12] Steel Angel : yeah but you cant exactly say he's entirely emotionless.

[00:31:54 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : And therefore, it's extremely difficult to get an emotional reaction out of him, because he's spent most of his life conditioned to reject it.

[00:32:06 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Which, to me, says:.

[00:32:07 15/07/12] Steel Angel : right.

[00:32:25 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : The fact that Steel had a girlfriend says that there's a sort of crack there that Kurumi was able to expose.

[00:32:34 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : And she was able to slip through.

[00:32:52 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : So her death completely wrecks Steel, since she was one of the few to be able to get close to him.

[00:33:02 15/07/12] Steel Angel : right.

[00:33:03 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : But he's powerless to show how much pain he's actually in.

[00:33:06 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Very interesting.

[00:33:29 15/07/12] Steel Angel : I mean he keeps most of his pain inside.

[00:33:39 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Also kind of shines new light on where the name "Steel Angel" comes into play.

[00:33:48 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : This is good.

[00:33:56 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Much more interesting.

[00:33:58 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : I'm impressed.

[00:34:13 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Then again.....I'm the English major.

[00:34:21 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : My life revolves around breaking down everything I read.

[00:34:41 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : So it's entirely possible that I'll be the only one to read that RP and realize exactly what it says about the character.

[00:34:51 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Styg and Rosa will likely get it. They're good at reading between the lines.

[00:34:57 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : Other than that, though.

[00:34:59 15/07/12] @ Chuck Matthews : LOL.
