I admit I know very little about his character's motivations or the like, but I think I could pull off making him the calm, charasmatic bad guy, but he should probably have the last word in that.

The Dinofoxes are playing a game of Capture the Flag/Capture and hold, where the flags of four teams must be brought to the center of the map, whoever get's it there first wins. Ideally we'll have 3 on each team, (I'm still working this part out though)

Basically I know I want one team to be filled with three guys that are just totally incompatible. Maybe contrast DMR's efficency with STARs' spontaneity and Lettuce's clumsiness to humorus results. Like DMR does something utterly bad@$$ Stars tries to copy it but can't get the explosion just right, and then I try and set Stars on fire.

For Green team I know I want Raptor. I think under the right circumstances, Raptor could be the perfect charming supervillian. I know I want him to single handedly ruin all of Blue team's plans, but be so nice about it that they don't actually care. Or DMR cares and the other two don't. Because Lettuce was in charge of choosing the Blue base location, Blue and Green team are right next to each other. I haven't quite worked out who Raptor's teammates will be, but he'll most certaintly be the MVP. Maybe for contrasts sake again, the other two will be utterly ambivalent and dissinterested, where Raptor is in it to win it with class.

Fox and Jess could have some fun banter on Red, a team that does it's best to lay low and collect all four flags inconspicuoulsy. I think it would be interesting to see Jess working with a different face, with a different personality and with different results. Or at least I would've. Jess is MIA right now isn't she? Well crap. It seems I'm not a caught up as I thought I was. Anyway, that's that. You sort of get the idea. It's a work in progress. :p

Purple is stuck on the other side of the battlefield, and frequently talk about how bored they all are. It get's to the point where go full feeding frenzy if so much as a leaf blows into their base. I'd hoped they'd be all Sangheilli so this would make more sense. I thought UFM, SuperVegito, And Field Marshall's lieutenant: This War is Ours, even though he only played a major role in one RP.

Eventually it becomes obvious some foul play is at work by a Fifth faction-Heath, I guess. Heath succeeds in incapacitating most of Dinofox, with the exception of my character...which may or may not be self-centered on my part. In the end we get a boss battle involving the escaped Dinofox, and an origin story about me. Finally. I litterally just thought of one this morning.

I am open to any and encourage all suggestions, comments, questions, concerns, snide remarks and personal insults, though if you use that last one I may cry a bit and hide in the corner till I'm done cutting myself...

...wow, that was a really dark final joke. The kind that needs to come with a disclaimer or something. I love it! Question though. I was thinking of having any spin-offs being earlier... like way earlier. Right before the battle of Yoth, where (I think) Heath just joins us, and things are going smoothly. That's where I kinda wanted to take my machinima idea; to a place where any sort of mission/casual training exercise wouldn't conflict with canon. I can tell you my machinima idea, but it isn't as funny as lettuces. xD
