I'm surprised he reacted more to the Horse than the God Eater feeding it, as I assume he knows they are more than just stories. But I can see it, a Horse who eats meet would distract a scholar quite a bit!

@DOOM TEA your post was fine. It wasn't hard to follow in my opinion and a simple separation of lines between speakers--which you did--suffices as it normally would. Don't worry about action, not all that much has happened yet.

Interesting introductions thus far.
A lot of talk of music for the fantasy-vibe, but I wonder if you all have particular themes for your characters? I have music for nearly every detail for Ytone and the Gaki.

I will be eternally grateful to @DOOM TEA for that opening post: What better way to start off an RP about killing scary things than a nice hot cup of tea. :)
1x Thank Thank

Well shit, now I just feel bad. Everybody is talking about music and themes for their characters and here I am just improvising my character--and I'm the GM. Lmao.

@JulienJaden - And with that post, I've taken a liking to Nicolas. I see his humor is going to please me greatly.
1x Thank Thank

I don't really know much about music so I'd be lying if I said I had some song in mind for Marcus. I've been listening to what everyone has posted here thus far though.

@icmasticc An improvised character is not necessarily a bad thing. One of the best characters I've been playing recently started off as a last-minute brainstorm product that I thought would end up either boring me or the other players in a matter of weeks.
Instead, I've been filling in the blanks step by step and doing so in the IC rather than in my head makes him more relatable as a character.

And, if it's any consolation, I don't have a theme for Nicholas.

Just kidding, it's this. XD
A pirate-y theme with some softer emotional and loud epic passages - I feel it fits a guy who has been travelling a lot and pretends to be a shallow ass most of the time to hide who he truly is.

But I swear I didn't have a theme until you mentioned theme music. ^^"

Any theme songs I can think of aren't period appropriate. But this is totally Quinn's non-period appropriate theme song.

I circulate my themes on repeat- my characters and such have literal playlists of their own, haha.

Haha, I know. That's just apart of my initial process when I write. I feel like my style works best with music.

Like I said, as long as it is not directly after your own post and it makes sense within the given scene.

I have the same issue in that I simply can not do work/study to music with lyrics because I find it distracting. I don't know how people can focus while listening to any music that has lyrics, because my brain naturally starts focusing on the lyrics and not the task at hand.

Have you tried writing while listening to Beta-Waves/isochronic tones? They mimic the natural brain waves your brain creates when you're focused on a task. Similar methods have been used historically by Brahmin and Buddhist monks to fully engage the brain on a single task, such as meditation or dancing.

-Beta waves are for focus/working.
-Delta and Theta waves are for falling asleep. (I have horrid, violent nightmares IRL and theta waves let me fall asleep in peace.)

It's not really "music" as much as it is a flat musical tone. You're supposed to turn up the volume so that it's barely audible. Here's an example:

@DOOM TEA

I've never tried beta waves, but I do agree about the music with lyrics. I have the same problem in that the lyrics become the focus and I can't really focus on what I'm trying to write and everything gets jumbled. I can listen to instrumentals though. In the end, I just usually try to get into a completely silent environment when I prepare to write something.
