Not... quite what I meant!

The Dragon I refer to is like the second in command, and is the guy the hero has to beat before they can think about challenging the boss. I guess the best analogy would be like a queen on the chess board.

Oh! Err... awkward. I didn't mean to come off as abrasive - it's just that I think Mikazuki (The protagonist of Gundam IBO) would have fit the thread well... but his personality can't be done correctly without contrasting characters.

Mikazuki was a character who lived in the moment, and his flaw (I think) was that he couldn't conceive a future with him in it. Thus, he ends up admiring anyone who can look beyond the present and see themselves in the future - and offers his aid and loyalties to the "boss", the biggest dreamer of all. Even after the bosses death, Mikazuki fights to the last breath to uphold his bosses ideals for the future where everyone belonged - though, sadly, he doesn't make it to the ending they successfully created.

I think it's great to have a character concept and lots of cool little tidbits, but you can't really measure a characters flaws until they begin interacting with other characters. Without these flaws, characters just don't have any appeal to me - which makes character creation a hard step for me.

Oh, it wasn't abrasive, I have read/listened to vastly worse many times in my life. For example, my best friend frequently uses mockery, name-calling and insults against me, and I'm OK with it.

Interesting character, this Mikazuki seems peculiar (or at least, your interpretation of that is unusual, and remarkable to read and think about).

I see, I sure don't blame you, but you don't have to, say, overthink(?) your own characters. Though, at the same time, if that's the appeal you need, being competitive with yourself has benefits. I tend to be competitive with myself, but never got any results, so I just don't really know how to help you here. Actually, imgur imaging might work!

Actually, Azi two things.

A summons to the Marsensian is deadly serious, meaning there are some serious undertones intended by the Marsensian, when a summons is issued. However, the people, these days, do not give a rats ass, anymore, about a political organization that A) preaches love, and acceptance, while simultaneously attempting to exterminate races that they have deemed "undesirable" to live in human controlled lands.

Think about the Elven Genocide, and the orcish genocide, which I will put up tomorrow. Most, if not all of the Church's current problems stem from these two events.

Secondly, the Pope was forced to transfer the control of the two orders to monarchies, and the nobility of other nations. The Church can no longer afford to fund the Gloomwatch and the Sungaard, in the current political climate. As such, Gloomwatch and Sungaard are agents of the nobility and the monarchy. Thankfully Drugal couriers can do the job of the two witch hunting organizations for much less.

Imgur imaging, huh?



I guess this is a fairly good idea of Mikazuki's character - the scene comes after he rips apart the enemy commander's cockpit. The defeated enemy commander, who can't go back to base empty handed for the sakes of his troops, asks for a mercy kill. Mikazuki pauses, thinks about it for a moment, and realises... yeah, he's actually okay with that.

It never comes back to haunt him - he thinks he did the guy a favour, and can't seem to understand why the guy's subordinates are out for his blood later in the series.

More importantly - could you imagine a 13-15 year old with that eight pack?


... Probably not what you meant, but I have a terrible sense of direction on Imgur. :P

I've boldened the information you people need to know when creating your characters. Hopefully this will clarify and help you people out with the jumbled mess of information I've put out there.


It is clear that there are aspects that are very confusing, so far. I do have a plan, though

I made a 47 page manifesto of lore and shit for my Rp on Word, So I will be consulting that as I clarify this jumbled mess.


Also, I've updated the Bio Format to include gender, and weapons.

Azi, would I be able to propose a new special?

Special:
The Fool – The fool has no idea what he’s doing, has a dim idea of whether he’s in danger, and only has a cheerful disposition to protect him. Yet, somehow, they are luckier than most!



Luck is an important stat too! ;)
