Ouch. Nasty. I don't think DP would have taken well.

Yeah, but you know where it is and can therefore look at his profiles and judge them.

I'm considering shifting Anice to here as well, but I don't think I could hold her in my mind the way she was, and she wouldn't have changed if she were here. Ah well. I might just bring Pheonix and Old Grey instead, or just make all new characters like I've been doing so far.

There's nothing wrong with Holloweyes. I was just pointing that out. Lynkin and Viz might not really work here. Because of all that's going on over at OT. It'd be weird. I'm working on a new character. Yes it takes me a while, because I have to get there whole history up in my head, as well as a lot of it on there page. I have to know their personality, how they'll react to everything. Hidden secrets etc. You can probably all do that fast. -_- That's just me, get used to it.

I can work up a character fast most days, but mostly a whole lot of things stay hidden from me as well when it comes to my characters. They'll occasionally react in a surprising way, take a stance I didn't expect them to take, gain powers I had no idea they were going to get, etc.

Yeah, I know I control my characters. But I think maybe the reason I could play so many styles is because I don't exactly control them. I do what feels right for the character in that situation, then work from there.

I don't mind that it takes you a while, VP, because you generally have really cool characters. The only problem I have with RPing with you is that sometimes it gets a bit confusing trying to work out what character you're writing for...

I'm working on Shavo now. He's based on the bassist (haha, based on the bassist) for System of a Down in looks. Personality... Probably not.

I bid you welcome, Face of Fish. Given an influx of new members getting acquainted will take me quite some time. I bid you my greeting and my welcome. I am The Obscure Bird, some call His Lordship, most call The Owl, all call wise, knowing and strange. I am the Kitsune Sensei, and I bid you welcome to our abode.

Most good RP'ers don't control their characters, but more act as a medium for them to express themselves. The analogy I like to use is I have DP living in my head with me, as well as Blackfoot. Danikat uses the same analogy, actually.

To be a true master is to let go of control of your characters - not the storyline, but the characters and how they react to the storyline.

I guess that's what I do. What about arguing with your RP characters? Is that to weird?

*shrugs*
Dunno. I tend to chose my character's side and just argue with anyone who picks a fight with me over them, even if it's the admin. Razz

I did that at Ancestor Cats. Dreamstar was not willig to believe that I couldn't just tweak Menon slightly so that there could be a jokester in Darkclan.

Same here. Trying to control them doesn't work as well as just letting them flow.

... There is barely any space left in my head I think Wink
