Cara's Originally Titled OoC Hangout Thread ♥ (Still)

@Carantathraiel

Do you ever sit back and think 'How much shit can I put my character through without driving them insane?'??

[Carantathraiel]

@oOWonderKinOo omg all the time...
I was just cracking jokes about maiming a character, and my partner told me i wasn't allowed to rip off testicles, but to rip off a leg, instead. XD She's so mean, restricting me

[oOWonderKinOo]

@Carantathraiel

So...testicles are more useful/important than a leg? O.o? I can't seem to agree on that, but to each their own I suppose. ^_^'

[Carantathraiel]

eh. no means no ;P If she wants him to keep his manparts, so be it.

[vespy89]

hey Cara and everyone else :)

[Krinos Solstice]

@oOWonderKinOo Heh, I never put a limit on how far I can go. Most of my characters are insane from the get-go, others I make insane intentionally.

[Carantathraiel]

@Krinos Solstice I recently made a mentally disabled character and I have no idea what to do with her. So far we've destroyed her knee... but I have no end goal or anything with her. Its weird.

[Krinos Solstice]

Heh, reminds me of my character Alex, I do all sorts of things to him, yet I have no particular goal for him either.

[Carantathraiel]

I'm usually the type to plot out enough of the story with my partner so i know kind of what to do with my character.
Being in an rp with a partner that doesn't do that is a challenge. Like, I can't have my character aspire to be a great chef if we're off to fight satan.

*suddenly thinks of Samwise and his tin of herbs*
Maybe I can...

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I tend to avoid creating characters with any sort of rigid process or framework; they are all born of individual collections of ideas, most stolen from elements in reality or aspects of peoples' personalities. I find it makes them more credible and "human", but more often than not they simply do not fit well within most roleplays. It does not help either that they are all anti-villains or anti-heroes, which can be readily disruptive to some efforts. Speaking of, I only just recently have begun playing a "good" character.

[Carantathraiel]

I'm not good at bad characters. I've played them a few times, mostly with a specific partner, but its not my strong suit.
I'm actually not sure what my strong suit is...

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

My strong suit falls upon the Lawful and Chaotic alignments in regard to Neutrality; I enjoy characters who have no bias toward good and evil and handle matters either by their own personal code or each individual situation. It makes for a more entertaining persona, as it often leads to interesting "not-conflict" with other protagonists. Pure evil just feels too cliche or depraved, depending on what it is you are working with, and everyone says Lawful Goods are "stuck up" or "rigid".

Besides, what is there not to enjoy about making others feel moral conflicts of character?

[Carantathraiel]

my favourite character is i guess chaotic good.... he steals, he whores, he kills, but if someone is like 'i need help' he's like 'sure!' and will do anything to make them happy. XD

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I am attempting to do something similar with another character in an actual gaming setting, where I have an excuse to ignore the obviously evil party members by remaining naive and "good to a fault". Thus far it has proven... counterproductive. The entire group needs someone to be the more rigid Lawful impartial who tells them what is or is not to be done by some code other than "Good or Evil".

@Carantathraiel

I was going to see that but it was too cold to walk around when I went to see @LoneSilverWolf let alone actually make it anywhere...

But we have plans to go into DC when I move in a month. Btw Cara we got married! Then miraculously got a place exactly a week later! Wooo!

Now I just get to go through my endless cadre of stuff and pack it up :/

[Carantathraiel]

I have moved :3
