Oh shweet. I’ll move her over tomorrow!
^ I like that. Kind of Golden Sun-ish?

Brainstorming and got really stuck on justice for my girl's virtue. Would have to narrow down the power -- I have a few ideas. I'd want to play a more support-oriented girl.
Here's something to consider with post history: some roleplayers don't have an extended library of posts to choose from. Many are new, many more may dabble in different sections and individual roleplays of varying standards — you wouldn't want to make a hasty generalization: "This person wrote like this once or twice; they will definitely write like this for my roleplay."
I used to love personality sections... I don't know what happened. I think I've figured there's a limit of what traits really distinguish a person, especially when you're trying to convey a real, contemporary person, without exaggerating things for internal consistency, like "Oh, I hate beets; I'm a POMPOUS, CANTANKEROUS individual of SOPHISTICATED palette." God, I've always had a better example of that but now it's gone poof.

So here's something I'm really starting to realize that isn't that poignant, honestly, and I'm going to hang myself out to dry here rather than shade anybody else. It's that the level of intricacy of a sign-up, or the amount of information it asks of prospective players, doesn't equate to how good the character is gonna be.

The sign-up I just started conveys the character in-question poorly, in my opinion; I think it relies too much on justifying his "gimmick" with little development otherwise. And yet the sign-up itself's pretty meaty from the outlook, even if it doesn't ask for that many words. (Technically finished it but I don't think attaching a bunch of random skills and flaws to an already flawed character is going to have everything suddenly get super nuanced and interesting.) My takeaway from the experience so far is that the sign-up process of writing out his history, the way he interacts with others, his motivation, hasn't realized the character I have in my head.

And it's not solely the sign-up process holding me back as a writer but this might be something to consider since there's talk above of developing a character privately vs. sharing a character publicly. Maybe the sign-up is just a means to convey and not a means to actually develop — but this is only one scenario, of course.

Has anyone been in a situation like mine?

Yo, and I have another question: Do we like writing samples, or do we not? I'm, like, totally neutral to them.
I've been demotivated all week. Looks like I'm posting a WIP. Fiendish.

@Force and Fury


Dude it looks so fucking broad. Why

Anyway, I don't like this but maybe somebody else will to some extent. Here's a quick list of the surface-deep things I would add:

  • Actual music where the music notes are...
  • Character quote that distinguishes the four personalities.
  • Character portraits in the gap between the 'Personality' header and the table.
  • Elaboration on the superpowers.
  • Everything in the second hider.
Depending on what I go with, maybe chastity for my girl?

yeee more interest :]
~ … * * … ~
Love me some magical girls and I have some ideas floating around that could fit this pretty well. Definitely got my interest!

(that Loyalty, wolf-familiars power example sounds super lit aha)
I’ll start working on Benny today :]; still interested!
