Debating on making a CS if that's okay~

No slots left, sadly.

@Haydrian Cindel@Guardsman@Gentlemanvaultboy@duskshine749@Bazmund@Dark Light@silvermist1116@Stitches:

To the rest of you, MeetingWords is malfunctioning, so I lost my post draft, meaning that a reply will have to be delayed.

A delay is fine with me, I probably won't be able to post until tomorrow anyways

You may want to set the RP to full then to prevent any further applications. And there's no rush on the reply, dw

Sounds like you lost a lot of work. I hope it wasn't too much. Take your time.

@Stitches It's official, Abigail is amazing! I freaking love her personality!

That's not Abigail. That's A-Bagel. The perfect disguise.

Doesn't that make her a cannibal though? o.O

Side note: Show me a human being that can successfully disguise themselves as a bagel, and I will willing call her A-Bagel XD.

It's always annoyed me how you can never find pictures of faceclaims looking like normal goddamn people. Miles is meant to be the ultimate everyman, almost totally indistinguishable from every other faceless idiot on the street without special effort - but the guy his face is based on?

Every fuckin' photo he has of himself, he's trying his hardest to look hot in.

Goddamn.

Could just put a description in, it's the perfect faceclaim

@Stitches Nah, I prefer to have a face to put to my characters, and I actually did find a guy who fits how he looks pretty well. Good enough that he can be attractive, but not so much so that he's remarkable when he's not trying. I just also like to format my IC posts with an image or something to set the mood, and I was trying to find a picture of my guy looking especially nondescript. I found an eerie hitchhiker pic instead and figured it fit what I was trying for.

@Bazmund Yeah I've seen people go ham on the formatting, so I get you. I keep trying to get into it but it's not really my thing imo

@Haydrian Cindel I know you made one of Haydrian's skills charisma but he legit reminds me of Dennis Reynolds. It's why I avoid putting stuff like "intelligence" or "charming" in apps cause it's real hard to do for me, I'm not smart or outgoing.

Imo if I asked some stranger for help and they're like "I'll help if you tell me your life story over lunch" I'd gtfo of dodge, especially if I didn't have anyone keeping an eye for my wellbeing, and double especially if he comes and sits next to me. So Abi's out. And it's gonna be interesting to see how they handle when he gets to the motel

Agreed, regarding Haydrian. His behaviour is definitely something, and it's nothing like charismatic. It's exactly the kind of thing that would make IRL me - a 6"2 vaguely middle eastern bearded male, who weighs approximately 140kg and has a resting expression of general disdain - anxious to high hell. The words you use account for less than 10% of the meaning behind what you're communicating, and the tone you use them with is also less important than your body language; on top of that, when you're trying to find out the details about someone you really don't want to try and bargain with them for it, especially when they perceive you as potentially threatening or themselves as potentially vulnerable. Haydrian was too verbose, too verbal, and far too forward.

Edit: @Stitches Yeah, I know what you mean when it comes to overdoing the formatting. I hope I'm not there yet, it's just that I have a bit of a problem with getting invested in individual posts sometimes since I'm busy as hell irl; when I spruce the formatting up and make it seem like it might impress someone, or at least like I've already invested effort, then it helps me finish the post with the same dedication.

@Stitches @Bazmund First of all, yes. Haydrian is definitely a bit verbose and creepy. Glad that's comin across just fine :) I mean the guys preferred company is a corpse after all, so I mean. In his defense, he was genuinely trying to be nice to the girl. His version of charisma and manipulation doesn't work on every person and in every situation especially considering his actual character, so this feels comfortable for him.

Second while it's true I wrote him to be slightly weird and creepy and I agree with you over all, I actually disagree with whether or not people would be willing to bargain for money. I've talked to plenty of homeless that are more than willing to tell you their story over lunch. Whether they'd accept the deal from Haydrian, well that's a different story.

Yeah he's definitely written right, it just seemed an inconsistency with the general definition of charisma that I had. I still love tall corpse boy. And besides, him and Abigail have to get along because he's the only one who can see her astral projection.

Yeah that's fair, it's just not really charisma is all I mean. I'm also beginning to wonder if my character might see parallels between Abigail and his own little sister at any point, which - for a guy who's well accustomed to being someone else - might be a bit of an interesting twist.

People have a tendency to protect her so we'll see, yea

Maybe don't use Dane DeHaan for a face claim. He's got the most striking eyes I've ever seen.

@silvermist1116 Eh, what's done is done. Plus, he probably has coloured contacts or something - though I might just retcon him as having brown eyes, or dye his hair blonde or something. The thing about him is that he's also got quite a malleable appearance, I think - it's like, you can turn him into quite a few different people if you start changing individual bits of his appearance separately.

Edit: To be honest, I've also never thought of faceclaims as like, perfect representations of characters or anything. Miles' eyes are blue, but they're just not as bright or striking as Dane DeHaan's. He was just the best faceclaim I could find that still fit how I imagined the character - I do agree, his eyes are bit overly striking.
