@farfalla I use them quite literally and if I don’t have an actual first impression I won’t leave one.

@sao First of all, gross.
Second, I think a lot of people use FIs to kinda test the waters of possible romance, or give a hint (sometimes more than a hint) that they’d be interested.
I dunno anything about this system, as my Arx OC was just put in for approval today, but wouldn’t something along the lines of:
Damn!
Be appropriate first impression if that was the characters first impression of another?
Worded more appropriately and thematically maybe?
Asking for reals, since I have no idea what sort of first impressions are… wanted?

If I got that FI when my character was doing something notably cool or impressive, like one of my characters is a fancy duelist type so maybe the other PC was watching the duel, or my other character was doing a performance or something, I’d find an FI of “Damn!” to be totally apt. Or, to be honest, even if my socialite character just arrived at a fancy party in a super impressive gown or something like that, being her socialite self. It’s succinct, but gets the point across!
You can actually look at examples on people’s character pages, too. Both sides have to set an FI as public for it to show up there, but – oh I see @farfalla has said this while I’ve been typing! Aleksei is another one in that I know a lot of mine are set public there so you can see them.

@Roz lol I had just edited to add Aleksei instead.

Funny enough, I will generally get too wrapped up into the scene and the story and forget about FI’s. I’m pretty sure this is what makes me bad at xp harvesting.

@Narson THE FIs NARSON STAY WITH ME.
-
@Birdie Don’t forget to publish and share your FIs, for extra xp!!!
-
I don’t play on Arx but my peeve is that I keep wanting to but I get super overwhelmed trying to figure out who/what to play, and then I don’t.
-
@Floof there would be people falling over themselves to help you if you expressed interest
-
But also we understand the overwhelmed feels.
-
I really want sometimes, just randomly, to ask Arx’ Staff about poop.
Just to see if they still don’t want to talk about poop.
(this is a joke. >.<)

This, but Mummies.
But it isn’t a joke.
-
When people don’t understand basic thematic elements, can’t handle any kind of pushback, and spend all their time bitching about a person putting up so much as a shred of ‘no, thanks’.

Trying to bash my head against the wall and finish the OC before the deadline, but all my brain can think about is Battletech, send halp.

The real deep lore is there are Dire Wolf heavy class Battletechs buried under Cardia.

You fool. You utter buffoon!
… the Dire Wolf is a 100 ton Assault 'Mech. If you mean an actual Heavy 'Mech, the Timber Wolf is where it’s at.

…
In either case, dibs.

@Jennkryst Oh I’m sorry. Yes, I meant Assualt Mech. The Dire Wolf and the Dragon were near each other on my list. The Dragon is a heavy, Dire Wolf is assualt.
