I thought maybe we could discuss some things here...


Powers you'd like to have (and how they could interact with the others)


What kind of role you'd like to have (if everyone tries to be the happy go lucky or the shy and socially awakward or the sarcastic, etc...that's gonna be dull, no?)


Motivaations?


Character relations (siblings, cousins, dating, anything about how they start out)


Character gender and sexual orientation


possible character arcs


Other suggestions


Looking toward to chatting with ya!

Sounds good! Lmk when the character sheet is up and I'll start brainstorming

Alright, well after consideration, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to use my OC Allen.


Allen would play the role of the logical, highly introverted science guy. He is very scholarly, preferring to focus on his studies than other people, though he is dragged around by his friends. He loves them somewhere in his deep, dark, overly-literary chasm of a heart, but he has a tendency not to show it. He is also typically targeted by bullies.


He struggles with bi-polar disorder. He is an asexual male. He is also sex-repulsed, to the point that so much as a light-hearted innuendo makes him want to hurl.


He aspires be anyone of importance in the field of science or math.


I was thinking that his magic could be telekinesis. With a twist! The trick is, he can only move things atom by atom. He has to imagine each specific atom of what he's moving in order to shift it, meaning he will need lots of practice to avoid breaking things.


I was thinking his overarching character arc could be a struggle with his own morality. Perhaps the rogues trying to convince him to join them, so that he could fix all of the wrongs in his life. If we included some bigger, badder villain somewhere along the line, maybe the villain attempts to persuade him into joining their side, picking at the anger that's built up inside him from the years of bullying and shitty parents.


Oh, I should discuss his family. He has a workaholic sister who runs a local ice cream shop in town, a dad who ditched him when he was five, and a verbally abusive alcoholic mother. This is part of why he's plunged himself so deeply into his studies. His family is shit, so having anything else to focus on for him is important.

I was thinking more like, we could brainstorm these things PRIOR to the CS template being up. I mean, about half of these would be overwritten by the CS if we did this after the characters. And besides, I think when we do have the characters everyone will prefer to have this chat done and ready so we can move to making characaters and then roleplaying.

The shy type of introvert , the embarasses one the rude cold one or the simply silent one?


Based on how solidly you have his family set up, I'm guessing it'll be impossible to have anyone be his family without arguments. Point taken.


I was thinking if making my character an easily embarass kind of character, curious and stuff. I think our characters could easily be god friends from the getgo, seeing how my character could easily pull yours out into the world with his extroverted curiosity.

The rude-cold one who is easily angered and acts a little narcissistic at times to compensate for his feeling out of place in social situations, but is still a good guy at his core who loves his friends

 

[Semblance]

I usually go for the bold, spontaneous, adventurous, and impulsive one- maybe a little irresponsible and impatient as well but still very caring and loyal

Oh God...


I'm just gonna be straightfoward with you, I find those types to be generally...very poorly thought out. In a sense that it feels like it's just laziness because there is no clear line on whether he is gonna be an ass in a given situation or a caring good guy and that annoys the hell of out of me. I apologize if that offends in any way, but I had to let this out I keep seeing this everyone and my chest hurts a little very time I read the "but their good and caring on the inside " part.


Now that my vent is finished...


Playful, teasing kind of rude or just the insulting and sarcastic one?

 

[HollyLeafForever]

Im gonna go for a character thats a character aha

Sounds great. Again, I think our character could be great friends (who am I kidding? If there is any form of receptiveness on anyone, my character would probably walk right into it).


I really think characters like yours are important to the group. Well, provided you don't screw up and try to make him "wise" or "knows how to pick his fights" or something of the sorts...


The character feels like a trigger and could most certainly be the first trigger for a character/plot arc for the group. maybe have him accidentally change something in the past and then everyone has to go and find out what it was so they can fix it?

Why'd you delete that other post? Nothing wrong with it, from what I saw...

Insulting and sarcastic.


Also, it's ok, i feel. I'll try not to steer it down that path. Im not just gonna be throwing his kind side out there randomly. The only times it'll overtly show is if like... one of them is about to die or is getting charged from behind by an enemy and he legit panics and gets them out of the way.

 

[Idea]

I was thinking of doing a happy-go-lucky character who is very curious although kinda dumb, clumsy, airheaded and a scaredy-cat.


I want him to have the power to shapeshift, although I'll have to tweak the concept I usually use To add different limitations. Something related to the kind of information he has or maybe only one form per kind of thing...


I would want him to have a teaser and teased relationship with someone, possibly romantic over the course of the RP, although not necessarily.

 

[HollyLeafForever]

idk i felt like i should attempt something else... aha

I think so too My character will get along with anyone fun/playful such as yours


Yeah good idea! That's totally something he/she would do ahaha


And I would go with playful teasing kind of rude

Wouldn't that be better phrased by saying he is protective and loyal, rather the good old bland caring?


Hmmm...it'll be a though time if he's the rude and sarcastic type. How are you planning to make him proactive? Those types take skill to get properly done without relying too much on other rpers.

What's a good idea, exactly?


Why would your character be rude? Seems like a needless flaw that would only prompt more arguments than there should be. after all, the character type you chose are tendentially pioneers, so they could use at least SOME unity and support around them before they screw up without anyone being able to reasonably say "well, he meant well."

 

[Idea]

Such as? If you don't know , I could list some slots we're missing.

...That's true. Actually over the past few minutes I've been considering altering his attitude.


It'd be interesting to have him like that, but you bring up a good point. I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off.


I... Might just go with another form of introversion. Maybe more like the anxious type who doesn't hide his uneasiness under layers of anger/internalizes his frustration who occasionally snaps at people.


Or, or, the type who's just always a little grumpy/stressed but is always willing to accept his friends' offers for activities. I think that might be my best bet.

 

[HollyLeafForever]

Theres slots? I don't know, i usually keep myself out of discussions like this and make a character that fits with what everyone else has chosen... you know?

I think that this is the best bet. It is far more complex and interesting in it's actions and reactions, thus giving you much more to work with and us a much more interesting character to get reactions from.


Regardless of what you chose, though, I am willing to lend a helping if needed. Most of these are only though to play because of one thing: remembering that a character trait being inconvinient doesn't mean you can ignore it.

 

[Idea]

There aren't official slots, no, don't worry.


What I meant was the unspoken kind, the sort of slots that characters archetypes fall into (inevitably and regardless of what character you make), which together formprm dynamic groups.
