bad rap

The things we become known for aren’t always what we’d like to be known for. Reputations are hard to run from. Sometimes they’re not even deserved. So here’s your chance to set the record straight. Clear up some misplaced assumptions, debunk any rumours about yourself and defy your stereotypes.

how to play:

Top level with something(s) your character is tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them about, etc. Say it in person or over text.

Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

[Oh God, is that him? That might be him. No. No. He puts in effort! Most of the time!]

Pftf yeah. Heh. Like apply yourself, right?
And don't come nipping at my ankles when I'm first officer and they're still down on the lower decks.

Funny how the people who miss out on promotions like that also tend to be the ones who act like anyone who works at what they do must be a pathetic loser.

[Ok, that he can get behind.]

Yeah! There's no shame in being ambitious! Some of us are proud to have worked to get where we are. And where would the world be without people who are willing to buckle down and do some paperwork.

Exactly. The combination of knowing what's needed from you and doing it will get anyone anywhere they want to go, but too many people think those steps are beneath them.

Nothings beneath me!

Commanders love that kind of attitude.
