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. _________________ Putteh! |

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... _________________ Characters:

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. _________________ Putteh! |

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. _________________ If I were I as wise, as many have said

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? _________________ Putteh! |

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