If I did have other names for Vik to offer, they'd no doubt suck compared to what's been mentioned. So for now I really like what Rin offered haha(and no worries, I tend to do the same so no worries)

Then it shall be added!
Noted~

Serious is all well and good, but someone who's jovial is nice as well ^^

I like it! We can do that~ I have no objections:)

Rin: *Reappears, arms crossed, smirking smugly.*
Me: Shut up. It's still polite to ask.
Rin: Politeness is for peasants and politics, love.
Me: I will find a way to shove you in a lamp, or so help me! And don't call me 'love.' That's just creepy coming from you... wait...
Rin: *Grins triumphantly.*
Me: I'm... going to regret that.

Something to bear in mind, too, is their age difference. Calrin is actually 37 (though looks like he did at 23), while Viktor is 24. Thirteen years older. So, he'd probably have had some things to teach him? I'm also going to make him the youngest rather than the second youngest, in that case. Otherwise, it would've made more sense for the one closer in age to Viktor to be in contact with him in that case.

... He's going to have so much fun playing the "I'm your elder" card.

Pfffft

So I'm apparently a very spotty brain person. I was gonna change his actual age to a bit older since I feel like Mages age slower but I could be wrong. But thirteen years isn't so bad!

Oh I can only imagine hahaha

Sorry, phone glitched for a second lol

"I feel like Mages age slower but I could be wrong."

He's... he's your mage. I'm leaving the details of his race up to you, just make sure I know what I need to know about them.

If you want certain types of mages to age differently, then go for it! Just adjust your "Actual Age" and "Appeared Age" accordingly, and throw in a note about how their aging works so I know in case I wind up with some background elemental mages, so I don't step over the rules you've set for your character.

Forgive me if this is rude to ask, but are you not used to creating your own races, or tweaking pre-made ones to fit your wants and desires?

Will do~

So it's a bit of both I'll be honest. I'm also not used to making a character fully fleashed out like this. Picking a supernatural race is easy, picking a name and describing them is easy too. Thinking of their backstory, their personality(easy), and what their powers can or can't to and their limitations are things I've done before but not so in-depth.

I'm backtracking so much because I want to make Vik someone that those around him both respect and fear and find hard to understand. But I also want you to like him and not find him boring or lacking something. But I said I wanted a challenge and you gave me one, you're making me dig deep and learn what makes Vik tick, and I thank you deeply for that. I said I'd win this challenge and I intend to, I just also don't want to botch this up, I'm enjoying the mental workout I really am.

Gotchya. You're used to the character sheet staying more skeletal (like a painted skeleton!) rather than having a full-fledged character? Bear in mind, these really are just rough drafts of the characters, too. I think I said it, but just in case, I always expect character profiles to need tweaking once you drop the character into his/her world, an get to see how they actually act. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to give you a good starting idea of who you're writing for!

Well, if it helps, I already liked him based on his WIP CS! Gad you're enjoying the challenge though!

Now that Thanksgiving passed -it honestly surprised me- I'm excited to see how this goes for us! I'll be posting Vik in the Character tab if that's okay ^&^

I'm OUTRAGEOUSLY late, but yes, please do! And remember, you can edit posts on here, so if you post him and decide you want to edit something about him, you have that ability! The time stamp on the upper left-hand corner of the post will just adjust to inform that there was an edit, and when.

You're fine! Holidays kinda kicked my butt so no worries at all~ I'll add him, now. Can't wait to see what we create! :3

Hmm. Your tattoo link didn't take!

Alright! Now... we never did decide how (or where) we wanted to start, or how Nyx gets involved with our boys, did we? And, with how Vic is with humans, I feel like he'd need a really good reason to not kill Nyx, depending on how we end up having them meet.

We don't have to have the whole thing planned out--it's no fun having it super planned!--I just like having a general starting point to release our characters at.

I think I suggested a couple things via PM, but did you have any ideas/suggestions?

I knew I forgot something x3 Editing it now!

We never did, did we? Whoops lol. It'd be interesting if we semi planned it out hit like you said, it's no fun completely plotting it out. I like surprises so i can't wait to see how this goes~ Them meeting is going to be very interesting ^^

You did? Let me go check I must've forgotten, as for me having suggestions/ideas...let me think on that and I'll get back to ya c3

Edit: How do I add image/fancy text like you did?

Edit #2: Tatto has been added!

Yep, yep! I like having a sort of “book blurb” for characters to follow, just so we have something to go off of and build on.

It might be thrown in the PMs randomly. Sorry, I hadn’t had the brain power at the time to write them out again in my last post here!

I’d had three different ideas for how Nyx could maybe meet Viktor, but that was before I decided to make Rin, or knew the details for Vik (heh… three characters, three three-letter names/nicknames). So I’ll add what I remember of that, in case any of the elements in it strike your fancy, but it would likely be something that would have to be integrated differently:



Well, that’s what I’ve got right now! Let me know if you like any of the elements from those, and if you have any other thoughts for a starting point! I’d like to hash out the long-term goal, too—nothing too detailed, just, again, to have some sort of Point B to work on getting our characters to. If you don’t mind, of course! For now, though, we may as well get things started. If we need to, we can adjust things as we go, and just pretend it was always like that. 😆

Since we have a bit of a better understanding of some things, would you have any objections to me changing the title of this to "Rogues and Rulers?" (The question is, who are the rogues, and who are the rulers? 😉)

I FORGOT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION! So sorry about that!

The text headers are actually photos that I put together. I made a Word Art image, then tacked it together with the photo using Gimp (a free photo editing program, in case you've not heard of it). So, they're just photo inserts using the IMG BBC. So, in the "Raw" text, Rin's image is on there as:
[center][img]i.imgur.com/lf6zNa5.png[/img][/center]

We are so alike it's both amazing and kinda freaky -joking joking!-

Nah, you're fine. If they were in the PM's I might have read them, then kinda forgot. Sorry x3

Sure! Sorry for the extra bother, thanks very much. Now that you mention it, I'm laughing~ Not sure if having them have three-letter nicknames was on purpose or accidental but I'm here for it.

Third idea, third idea, third idea! While I don't have a concrete idea of where or what Vik should/would be doing, you've done it again and somehow manifested an errant thought floating in my head into a perfect scenario~

Go for it! While I like this name, that one fits better, and adds an air(haha) of mystery to it. Because with this, we aren't sure who's a Rouge or a ruler like you said~

Yeah...that's kinda too complex for me haha! Do you mind if I just add his image and name in a more basic(boring) manner?

I can't wait to start this!!!😃😃

"Freaky" is a compliment, as far as I'm concerned! Right up there with "weird," "creepy," and "strange." 🦇⚰️☠️

No worries! I wouldn't have expected you to remember any of that after all this time. I mean, I tend to let quite a while lapse between messages/posts... Anyway, no bother at all!

Completely happenstance, with the names. xD

Hmm. I'm thinking we're going to go with door number three, then? 😆

Rin: It was my idea!
Me: *Glares.* Was not.
Rin: *Leans in close with a threatening grin.* Do you really want to challenge me on that?
Me: *Is tempted to say yes just to find out what would happen.* Er...
Rin: *Smirking.* As you wish, then, little human.
Me: I didn't say anything coherent!
Rin: *Poofs into smoke, just to whisper menacingly in my ear from behind,* It was all the answer I needed.
Me: ... Arista, if I go missing, you know who to blame.

Hmm. Well, Vik travels wherever he's needed to weed out traitors and rebels, right? What if Vik was in town to take care of a pesky pack--nothing large or strong enough to be their own "official" group, but enough to be a nuisance--and Rin happened to be in the area? Could they sort of sense each other nearby, do you think, with how much time they'd have spent around each other?

Maybe Rin was his way to see if he pinpoint the Phantom, since he has a unique skillset with being capable of toggling between the physical and metaphysical world. A human who can thwart supernaturals would be someone that would've gained his attention pretty quick, especially since she'd earned her own epithet. Or it could be vice-versa with Vik hunting for the Phantom, if you wanted, though that would be a smaller detail.

A larger detail, would be how far ahead would you want to start? Vik and Rin meeting each other in town? Or skip ahead to more action, and start with them chasing down the last of the group they'd been after?

Put it up there however you want or need to! I'm not picky. I just like making my profiles look pretty, and have managed to pick up a couple things over the years to help with that--I don't expect the same from my partners! If you wanted, though, I wouldn't mind putting something together for his header for you. Just let me know what kind of text and simple design elements you want!

If you care, I changed up the song in the first post. Thought it might be fitting, but if you find something else, feel free to send it my way! It's always fun to have a soundtrack.😆

This is why I like you 🙂🙂

Door number 3 it is :)

Vik: *snorts*
Me: Don't you start.
Vik: *glances over with a smirk*
Me: okay. I'm gonna go now

I like that! As for them being able to sense each other I'd feel like that isn't impossible. Magical beings I feel like can do that ^^

I feel like them meeting up would be a good starting point, having them tracking down someone could be next? So many options~

I'd take you up on that, I have the image and for text, something simple and blue-purple in color? Or whatever you want to have ^<^

Ooooh! New song! I'm down for a soundtrack ^^

HA! Well, at least YOU have the sense to try to NOT antagonize your characters who have questionable morals. Me? I wanna poke em' with a stick and see what happens.

Just bear in mind that if we start with them actually bumping into each other in town, it'll be a while before Nyx gets involved with them. I don't mind that in the least, just know that that means some of my posts will be a lot longer, because she's still going to have scenes to set her up, even if she's on her own.

Do you want to go with focusing on Rin and Vik meeting up for the start of this, then?

"Whatever you want to have." He's... YOUR CHARACTER, you crazy! So no overly-stylized text. Blue-purple. Alright, try this on for size:



Sorry, it's big, so I don't know how it's going to size down once I post this. I tried shrinking it, but it blurred the name pretty bad.

I remembered that you'd sent a photo for him once, so found that in PM. If it isn't the right photo that you have in mind for him now, please send me the correct one! I just used that one so I could put something together for you to tell me what you'd want tweaked about it. On that, please don't hesitate to ask me to change anything about this! I saved the art file, so it'll be super easy to swap out photos, alter colors, or whatever you want!

((Edited to change out the photo.))

I like antagonizing them...sometimes. But with this one? I'll play nice as long as he does haha

Sure! I don't mind!

I feel like they're may need to be a flashback maybe to kinda explain just how they met up, doubt it'd make sense if it just happened ya know? But Sure!

Sorry, sorry.

It's beautiful! And it actually isn't so big!

I'll keep that in mind for his photo, for now I like it as is~ He looks equal parts classy-elegant-killer to me if that makes sense lol

Thanks so much!

A... flashback to explain how they met up? What do you mean? Isn't that where we're starting? Or do you mean in how they know each other? I don't really care for flash-backs, personally, and we have it established how they know each other. I mean, it'd probably get mentioned that they kind of grew up together, but I don't think that would need it's own full, detailed scene? Or were you hoping to write something with young Vik and Rin?

Awesome! If you're happy with that, here's the code for it:

[center][img]i.imgur.com/9EcqkIx.png[/img][/center]

I like the photo you chose, too, that's for sure!

Welcome!

I added that in, a flashback? Sorry was talking on the phone and must've typed that out without checking. Sorry! No we're good for our starting post~

Yay! Thanks ^^

Aw, thanks~

<3 <3

Edit: I copied the link to add to his sheet, and it doesn't show up??

Edit 2: Finding a song for Vik, wish me luck!
