What type of heavy metal? Asking because there's like 50 different styles of playing out there
What characters in the fed are your favourites and why?
I'm first and foremost an old school thrash fan. Bands like SLAYER, Motorhead, Megadeth, Venom (although they fit into the NWOBHM and black metal subgenres as well), Skeletonwitch, Annihilator, Merciless Death, Rigor Mortis, Sepultura to name a few.
I like some of the "new wave" of thrash like Warbringer, Toxic Holocaust, Warbeast, Havok, Municipal Waste, but some of the newer bands can be a bit too focused on zany lyrics than their sound or message within the lyrical content.
Secondly, I like death metal and some black metal here and there. Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Lamb of God (although it's hard to fairly lump them into any one subgenre because they're so diverse), an Italian band called Lahmia, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Deicide are just a few that I enjoy in these categories.
I'm also a big Dio and Black Sabbath fan, but I'm not really fond of alot of the bigger name "classic metal" bands like Maiden and Zepplin.
As to your second question, I have been reading every RP in the rounds since I've joined, and I've been trying to dig into some of the older stuff as much as I can. I really haven't read anything that I can say I disliked and that's an absolute shoot, as Russo would say.
The Cerberus RPs are very entertaining, obviously Ty is great, M seems very unique and that makes those RPs fun to read.
I also like the Daggershield RPs for the same reason as M, because they're really different and you really have to focus in to make the connection between Theron's reality and the "reality" that is WZCW.
I like reading S.H.I.T as well.
I'm still trying to familiarize myself with all the characters and what their gimmicks are about, so it's hard to really elaborate on why I like who or what I like, but purely from an entertainment standpoint, those are what stand out in my mind without going back and refreshing myself on the large amount of material I've been reading in a short period of time.
As an offshoot of that, one of the things I'm struggling with is coming up with a "story" for the Slaughter character. I'm not really sure where I want to go with him. I know the gimmick but I'm not sure how I want to bring it to life through actions rather than spoken word. I think I did a decent job of nailing down some history of the character with my SuperShow RP, just not sure if I want to progress with that or bring it into more of a present tense setting.
Perhaps it will come as Slaughter hopefully gets entrenched in some kind of meaningful storyline after KC6, but as of now, the future is sort of cloudy in my mind.
