At first I was like "Oh god... It's a time manipulation related thingy... again" Then I remembered we already have some of that in the roster.
Then just ask White Snow to provide more information on said character. He/she obviously knows enough of the fanfiction if he/she's going to enter a character from it.
At the moment that's the solution that crops to mind.
Won't that basically mean she's an OC... from an AU fanfiction of an existing series...
The main difference about this Fuji is that... well there's a richer Kamen Rider Flavor (you were the only one back then). There's no Japanese sun goddess in the form of a wolf (at least not yet)... And instead of Reisen being the "Other" Touhou character to join after Kaguya, It's now Mokou (Which means It's less Master Servant type and more I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU type of interactions)... Oh... and no deadpool.

Situation is subject to change.

As long as you understand the effect that had on the rest of us, I'm cool with it. Words are much more powerful than you think, and you best be careful how you portray yourself in the future.


I perfectly understand how it affected people because I was the one who caused it. And I know about the power of Words... look what I did with it... And for the last bit, I'd let people be the judge of how they take my actions, Their views on me are their own, I have no right and therefore wont force them to change that.
Oh Hi Fuji! Glad you could make it... And perfectly timed so you get to miss all the derpage I've caused.
I have my sources and everyone else have theirs and I respect that.

Won't ask people to change their views according to mine, just laying it out there.

The point still stands, that Character and Personality is different, and People still tend to put a "character trait" in the personality section of character sheets. I've done it myself, and so did the majority of people, not just here. It's quite widespread.

Bravery, honesty, loyalty, respect, courage. They are all Characteristic traits. The best thing to come out of the difference is... well because there is a difference. You can have a proper goody two shoes character with all the right things checked, Brave, Honest, Courageous, ect... and yet act like a complete douche. And that last bit is the personality. It's what people perceive you to be.

For example, Raineh's sheet with Mokou.
Mokou's apathy, and general cold and quiet demeanor to everyone other than Kaguya and perhaps Keine is her Personality. However, her reactions to anything that involves Kaguya that is mostly hidden from anyone else, that tsundere bit... now that's Character.

Now this view of mine maybe because of how the two were defined in all them characterization lessons my English professor on that British school drilled one me... I don't know, maybe the Brits have a different view on the matter than the rest of the world (I'm not British)

Still. My views, Take it as you may.

Now looking back... I cocked up on that one. I have managed to derail everything from the actual root... It's that I used fourteen words to describe Kaguya's demeanor. My defense to that... well If you can do something with less... why bother with more? And I solved the problem like ten hours ago, I'm just prolonging the discussion about something that's not really the cause of the original problem... because, I found it enjoyable. I'm sorry if everyone else didn't, I'm being a massive asshat and being incredibly selfish. At least I'm being honest... If bluntly so.

And yes that means I'm sorry and now can we move on? (Uhuh I was the reason we were stuck in the first place but now that I've finished being a douchebag we could go on again)

... Okay, um...benit, I want a few more characters ideally before setting up the OOC. Also, your characters are accepted.ACHTUNG, personality includes traits of the character, and therefore it should not be too hard to add a couple more sentences onto a personality field. I don't like personality fields that are that short because it usually indicates that someone writes posts that short and even though I don't mind shorter posts that's too short.DBL, don't leave? This is, um, kind of a ridiculous thing to leave over.


It isn't hard to make it longer... Which is why I did make it longer. The problem is... well I'll let a picture speak for it.



There is a difference between Personality and Character... And the vast majority of what people put on "Personality" sections of character sheets are in fact the other.

I could have sworn that having enough knowledge of the English language to Roleplay properly would also include something as basic as knowing the difference between the two, but time and time again that's proven wrong.

So you're basically telling the GM she's wrong for expecting you to describe a character's personality with more depth than the average Twitter post?You know what? I'm out. Sorry.


I was never once in a conversation with the GM for the past few posts... It was you who kept it up. I respected what she wanted, and I also respect your views. You have all the right in the world to disagree with what I like, but you don't have the right to force me to your own ideals. I respect your ideals, but I disagree with it, and I'm not gonna force you to change it... So I ask that you don't force me to change mine.

And going back to the saying... "There are many dogs BETTER than my little Shih Tzu... But I LIKE my Shih Tzu. I won't trade her off for better dog".
It's not about what's BETTER, It's about what people LIKE... And I respected what the GM LIKES. Is it not difficult to respect what I LIKE?

Besides, It is still a fact that what most people fill a Personality section up are either habits or other traits. It is the behavior of the character when in open interaction with another. Descriptive words like Shy, Chatty, Friendly, Cheerful, Sociable, Introvert... That's personality. Descriptive words like Brave, Strong willed, Honorable, Merciful, Stubborn... Are words that describe WHAT KIND of a person the character is, It describes their reaction given a situation instead of an interaction with another character.

And then there's those who fill it up with things that pertain as to what the character likes. That's entirely different altogether. Those are Quirks and Idiosyncrasies. They help build a picture of the character, but they are in no way related to a character's personality.

For example. If I put "Kaguya loves to engage in mortal duels with Mokou that always ends up with either or both of them getting killed"... That would make someone think "Oh she likes to fight and is probably very aggressive and intimidating in a conversation"... Which is the complete opposite of what she is.

I'm pretty sure it's better to actually define a character's personality rather than just list what cookie-cutter traits they fit into.


And that's accomplished (in this case at least) with fourteen words. It defines the character just fine, People seem to confuse personality with habits.
