[OOC] Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

[Burthstone]

Precisely.

[Zarkun]

That post took far too long to type up. And I really need to take some time to figure out Judgement Strike and Shatter before I RP the latter or use the former again.

[Vec]

you know, you could always add on your CS the different techniques your blade magic has. A short description of each move and what it does so we can better understand what you are doing xD. That's what i do and it works for me.

[MarshiestMallow]

Thats what I do.

I've thrown my back out (A common occurrence for me, that I'm trying to get fixed), so my post might take a while to do, as I've sent myself to bed, and am typing on my phone.

[Paingodsson]

Jangel when you get a chance whisper me bud!

i found a very nice picture that i like better than then current one for sho so im updating him :DD

[Vec]

Speaking of pictures, i have a question. How do you all go about creating a character?

I personally, start of with a picture or a description. It is vital for me to be able to visualize my character, even if i end up changing the picture i originally chose. I use that appearance as a base and then branch out into different aspects of the character such as background, powers(if the RP has supernatural powers in it, like this one), name, relationships, pretty much everything that is needed for a character to be complete. Of course things like the age of the character go hand in hand with the picture/description. 20-30 year old lolis are a no no *.*

[Burthstone]

I just have a character in my mind that I want to make, I decide gender, give them some random ass name I come up with, then just fill out the rest of the form how I want it. For the most part, I really suck at finding good pictures, so when I do, it's more luck than anything else. I prefer words over most anything else personally. So as far as a picture goes I decide a written description then look for a picture that matches or almost matches it. Things that typically aren't standard to a person are the only things that take a little bit of time to do. (EG: Magic.)

[Vec]

i dont even know if this is grammatically correct

as a response to what he had said about him soon having the chance to fight

it just kind of came out instinctively o3o

EDIT: i just found Shoichi's theme. Enjoy

[Vec]

damian could like, strike its legs or smthing? the bigger they are the harder they fall? just throwing ideas in there :/
its hard to see him getting beat up

[MarshiestMallow]

When I develop a character, I think about what I want for that character, and how I can get there. Since most of my characters are female I already have gender, then I work out personality, and once I have that I search for a picture that matches that personality.

Necessary part of avoid OP characters and good character development for me. The more hits they take, the more driven they are to get stronger to protect the ones they care about. Well, except for Zack Withers. He's a cold hearted bastard that cares about no one and who's whole existence is to complete the mission effectively. You'll all never meet him, but he's one of my many characters.

Speaking of good character development, my characters aren't just pieces of fiction to me, they are a piece of me, a part of my mind that manifests itself in the form of an RP character. Looks, moves, weapon preferences, etc etc, all come from what that piece of my mind tells me about the character. It's why I usually choose words over a picture.

[Vec]

Well it is true that each character, in some way or another, portrays a part of its creators' personality. That's definite.
Sho is a new character for me though as i usually play the loner/hides feelings type of guy. I'm experimenting with a character a little more carefree, openhearted and easy to read. It's going good so far, considering i dont have much experience with this kind of personality ^_^

#NothingMoreTrue

I wish some of my characters were real...

Others... Not so much. I have ones that would end up on the top ten lists of almost every crime possible. They're less like me.

And I also have characters that I wish I could be like.

Why am I making a new paragraph for each sentence?

Mayt is probably the closest to me I'll ever be comfortable with role playing.

Most of my characters are girls anyway... Don't know how I got into that...

[Zarkun]

I fear what some of my characters would do to me if they were real. I haven't always been the kindest writer...

[Vec]

Burthstone said Most of my characters are girls anyway... Don't know how I got into that..

any tips? im trying to think up a female character right now for another RP and the brain refuses to cooperate :/

[MarshiestMallow]

Each of my characters are a little piece of me. They are real to me.

Anyway, got a bit sidetracked, working on a reply

[Zarkun]

I killed the demon if that's OK. If not, I can edit.

[MarshiestMallow]

Thats more then fine!

[Zarkun]

I can edit if you want, honestly. I'd actually understand if that's what you wanted.
