Azi, I'd like to see a character from you that has some semblance of being 'normal'. Not to say boring, generic or otherwise forced to stifle creativity, but a character who isn't a raised ruthless murderer from an obscure part of the world or geriatric knight with no face who walks around ruins for an indiscernible purpose.

Most characters I see from you tend to be wandering warriors who relish in being covered in blood, or emotionless killers.

Azi and me have similar tastes as to what kind of characters we like. Although I like to add a bit more variety. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

Rainbow,
I had a feeling there was something peculiar about the names of you RP’s regions. They did have an East European feel to them, but I never would've guessed they were actually based on real-life Baltic regions.

George,
Just in case I failed clarity, by ‘faceless’ I meant it as an adjective, so ‘remote and impersonal; anonymous’ and not literally absent of a face. Not that it matters now, tho, just wanted to clarify.

About characters, well, most users already have bios who have a semblance of normalcy. It feels redundant to add to that, or that I am copying others, so I try to make things different. Another difficulty is that I am not a normal person (as most of us probably noticed since long ago), so I just don’t have it in me to create someone who is.

But yes, you are correct, most of my characters--especially lately--tend to be more monstrous than heroic, swinging between the extremes of good and evil. They’re inspired by their video game counterparts and historical equivalents; historically, knights and samurai were pretty hardcore killing machines, some made a living as renegades who rampaged countrysides and stole land, but some others were indeed quite gallant.

Nevertheless, I will rework things and, hopefully, the compliance will have good results.

The major problem with the 'monstrous' characters you're talking about is that they wouldn't fit well into a 'heroic' party, especially if they had no intention of curbing their monstrous habits. Were they bad enough it's highly probable they would be kicked out of said party or, if it's especially bad, put down as if they were a monster themself. PvP isn't my intent for this roleplay, so unfortunately that wouldn't work out.

You not being 'normal' is fine. Honestly, most of us aren't 'normal' by conventional senses - I share the same disorder as you, in fact. Aspergers. When I say normal I don't really mean ordinary, just not on the level of extreme you've thus far posted. I am Inferi.

Ah yes, makes sense, monstrous attributes don't work in a more-or-less righteous party, so why would they be with such people? Not many would be capable of tolerating such individuals, let alone go on an adventure with them. Nobody wants to be around monsters, after all, and yes, it makes sense that some would even consider putting the beast down.

Hm, I don't know if I have Asperger's syndrome, but I may do. When I went to the psychiatric health unit at the hospital here (earlier this year), I did discuss symptoms of schizophrenia and autism, however, was unable to arrange a meeting with the psychologist as I was doing my Class 1 training. Since then, tho, my brief hallucinations stopped, so I figured the symptoms were gone, phoned in and told them so to close my case, and then I started hallucinating again XD they stopped again tho. So, ya, what exact problem I have is not diagnosed, so I won't know for sure.

Anyways, I working on my next bio, bit by bit. Progress is slow, as my mental energy sucks lately. Will try to finish it within a few hours from now, I hope.

There's a difference between "evil that can coexist" and "monstrous and remorseless evil killer", and the problem, I think, is that the latter is what shows up. Generally, something like that doesn't fit in a lot of stories, at least not as part of a protagonist group. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
