Fantasy Seiunita OOC

As much as I appreciate you taking the initiative, I'm describing it in the collab right now, also not to be rude but er... would you mind letting me talk about my own characters in the future?

Do so, but I would highly prefer that you readily describe your character's clothing first hand, so I can describe your description, as I've done with everybody else.
 
What, pal?

Now that I think about it, I feel that the pacing of my post IS too rushed.

Because Walter is gonna shout at Silvester for being a coward and then strip him of his knighthood. And in the end, Silvester will probably attempt to kill himself after being so shamed in public. And that random demon appearing inside the bar (he's NOT Desh just some other guy) felt like... he just appeared out of nowhere.

The rest of my post is OK though.

Bluntly, you speak the truth. You can let the tensions with Silvester drip slowly and steadily, until it finally comes to a climax — his death. That way, we can truly sympathize with his and Walt's plight.
 
Man we're having a roleplay here not publishing a novel, lemme describe my characters when I feel comfortable okay?

And next time, mate, try not be a dick about it. archur archur is pretty cool around this, and finds the time to explain my shortcomings to me neatly.

He certainly doesn't act like, 'Ay, 'ands off af mah character!'.

And, if you provide only a vague description to me, then I'll be forced to improvise.

That means I'm going to have a longer post than I originally intended to make. I shall see if this is possible.
 
Don't sweat around it. This can be easily portrayed with short bursts of flashbacks, or scenes, or even a few events.

I feel that flashbacks are a cheap substitute for writing about the greatness of my characters. What happened in the past happened in the past. There is no need to go back and describe every single minute detail of it. Because sometimes, the memory of people is hazy and they tend to leave key details out. Oftentimes, people will present different versions of the "truth" and this will cause something like the Rashomon effect, where people tell different versions of the same story.

Sometimes, different viewpoints are all it takes to establish your character. Flashbacks, they serve to show a crucial moment of your character, they reveal depth and they allow the readers to relate with you.

Y'know, it's incidents like these that swell my cynicism. I mean, hell, they ignored the entirety of my post — which took time and hard work to make, I'm not a magic writer, by any means — to pounce upon a single infraction in a lazily-tacked-upon post. Goes to show you how petty people can be.
 
Also, I am thinking of expanding the ranks of the clergy.

Currently, there are four ranks in religion. There's a pope guy. And there's an Auroran who kind of acts like a bishop, he's a senior clergyman. There's a priest who administers his religious services to the local people, and he's a junior clergyman. Then there's the common people, all of them are Followers of the Light.

It is said that the Elysians favor community, but I wonder if that same community also aspires to favor hierarchy.

So... I was thinking of adding different ranks of Aurorans who will be at the top of the ladder and will act as politicians as well as ministers, and adding different ranks of priests who will be more grounded and have more interactions with the common people.

And guys, we should think more about the good side of Elysium. There must be festivals and entertainment. We should think about parties in Elysium that people celebrate to have a good day off.

And we should think about the scientific applications of using magic. There's a video of self-healing concrete right here that could serve as an example.

Hmm, there are quite a few Walter moments that deserve a spot in the limelight. All right, I might write about a few flashbacks then.

Ah, I'm petty all the time, I just tend to be less like that towards you.

OK, WELL, I'm kinda gonna be late for school but fuck it.

Five ranks, considering the avatar. All are war-priests, able-bodied and capable of fighting.

Bah, humbug!

Ah, hell nah. I'm more petty than you. You're very tame, prudent, and more careful than me when picking your words.

While I'm brash, uber-petty, obsessive, and (deliberately) insufferable.
 
Depends on how long these books are.

If they're too long, I'll probably forget about them while doing other things.

That's your problem. You've got a fourteen year old mind, but you have to extend beyond that!

Just get a reader app or something, and I'll give you, discreetly, a few books of... notorious SIZE...
