@DegenerateThree If you haven't seen my latest post no need to change anything. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. And listening to me. :)

I'll try to think of something, but that was a character I brought over from the original RP. The alabaster skin is supposed to be a trait of all Sjamyyki, so changing that alone is going to need quite the overhaul. Alternatively, I can just adjust certain bits and bobs of his appearance, but I doubt it'll be that much of a difference.

I mean, I don't particularly mind or see the issue with having characters that are similar - even to that extent. Having a bit of confusion here and there could lead the plot down pretty interesting lines. Vaakjarki also has the trait of being rude and silent, so that's one point of separation at the very least. If the similarity in appearances is truly a bother, I'll try to do something about it but I can't promise much because, again, that's not just Vaakjarki's look; it's something common to all Sjamyyki.

@DegenerateThree

It's fine. No need to change anything. :)

I sort of based a lot of Merta's design based on his environment. In fact I chose the blue eyes, not due to genetics, but through adaptation. I sort of studied reindeer eyes turning blue, and therefore blue eyes reflect less light. I probably should have been more specific as to the reason why I went with details in my sheet. The paint protects the skin, tundras don't have a ton of tree coverage, but it also blends into the environment. The black around the eyes helps keep glare out of the eyes, the black around the lips is to protect the lips and break up the facial features from a distance. It's not the skin color that I was concerned with, it was a very specific detail about "blending in with the background". Which I built into the character of Merta.

@TheRedWatcherI'd say that Vaakjarki's skin tone being natural rather than painted is enough of a difference, and the similarities could just be something akin to convergent evolution. Using what's best to adapt to the situation at hand, and all.

Though if it's a big issue, I guess I could edit the appearance a little.

@DegenerateThree

Well the core details are not similar. It's in the unique features that the characters are boiled down to. If the characters were standing at the police station in a lineup:
-Recent Indigenous Nation that joins the politics of Adnanian
-Having their own separate religions different from the main religion
-Having their own culture
-Then adding on top of the Camouflaging into the Snow, it's not necessarily the white skin versus painted
-Then adding on top blue eyes

Certainly the Cores are very dissimilar, but when another character has to quickly describe another character "the indigenous person with blue eyes" well which Indigenous person with blue eyes?

@DegenerateThreeNot to be nit picky I don't know if you are aware this or not, but I was going to comment how similar our characters appearances are. Merta is painted white, with blue eyes. And being painted white, they would blend into their environment. I simply didn't state it because I assumed people with context clues could gather, the white paint is to protect the skin, but to camouflage in the snow as well. The black around their eyes to protect from glare, essentially. It's the combination of camouflaging with their environment on top of the blue eyes that make the characters seem to have similar details even if the core details are not similar, the key details are.

I'll think about it. I'd like to see some more interested before I fully decide. I'll be watching the thread like a hawk. But I already do have an idea.

I don't know if you have watched Midnight Mass. But I sort of would like to make an inspiration or homage of a certain premise that shows up in that. I'll explain further.

Any plot ideas? And is Sanny still with us?

I'll likely play a OC

it's probably some of the most interesting stuff in DC but they leave it in the background most of time.

but yes one of my favorite sides of DC is the magic stuff if you couldn't tell

@Trimblebird

Not a clue. Haha :D

<Snipped quote by TheRedWatcher>

Yes because the magic side is hardly every really played with and it hurts that it isn't

@Trimblebird

I concur.
