And you just perfectly summed up what 90% of our members don't seem to get. Nappa has no past on Chubbs. He wasn't a servant and warrior to the Pince Vegeta, and never died at the hands of Goku. If you want him to have been a saiyan abandoned on some alien planet and brought up without ever knowing he was actually a saiyan, that's fine.
yeah i may have pointed that out, and i realized that now. But a large point i have is that fact that what is the point of being a saiya-jin if you don't want to be a saiya-jin? I mean saiya-jins already have the mentality to fight and kill everything, thats why i could see retane being a saiya-jin and not me. Retane is all about killing, and nothing less. I on the other hand i'm not that big on it. I mean yeah i'll kill if i have to, but i'm not the one to just kill for pleasure. Killing for pleasure is a saiya-jin i see no point in being a saiya-jin unless you want to do that. besides the fact that SSJ is a sick power-up, doesn't sway me from my dislike for any saiya-jin not just Nappa

what is he now? is he the blood lusting brute? if yes, why do you portray him like that?
Quote:Locking yourself into these preconcieved notions of what Nappa "is" just hurts you as a writer and completely limits your ability to do with him what you want. There is absolutely no reason Nappa can't be free from the saiyan stereotypes. We have an entire planet of NPCs to fill that role.
that is very true, and i explained most of this above. I've repeated this many times, and i'm sure you think i think your retarded for doing so, but i have tried to change him and it didn't work. I really tried to make him different from the saiya-jin race, but Nappa will always be Nappa to me and yes it's unfortunate.
Quote:And thanks for what you said in your edit. I have never gotten upset when discussing a character change with a member and won't do so now.
No problem, i should have probably stated that at the beginning but i've seen many character change threads go bad so i thought i would try an prevent it with the staff take, and my statement above. less hassle for both parties.
