With a long background in D&D and the like, for me character sheets have always been a basic part of role playing for me since I rolled my first character. I guess your's and my mind work very different when it comes to our characters. I already can see him, I know him, I understand him, and have no problem telling others about him into the minutest detail. The idea with "Being stuck with a personality" is very foreign to me, because of how well I know him. I'm not making him, I'm simply knowing him, and telling others about him. Sure, there is the changing form aspect, but I know that my guy will have what he is most comfortable with, and that's what I would put in the sheet. Also, if I recall, the initial planning part when I first laid down the idea, they do not begin weaving until they themselves are given physical form. So, in my mind, the RP starts after they "become physical". I understand to a point that phrase people use so often around me, but when it comes to my own characters they take on life way before the RP starts. Since I never dictate what they are, I simply feel them, the "Taking a life of their own" phrase is very odd to me. I know I'm different. Most of the people I meet think my mind is just, strange beyond all reason, so I know that other people's minds work different than mine. However it always makes me feel bad in situations like this where my confusion makes me feel like somehow I'm looking down on how other people's minds work. Tahaan is already a living, growing entity in my mind, his feelings are flowing as easily as my own, and through his eyes I can already see what he sees. I'm sorry if this is confusing, I just wanted to give you a full and proper response.
