Character Development Thread--Discussion

Post is go.

Sadly, Violet's personality can only be displayed in full if she talks to somebody.

And I posted.

My character is going to be in the library, and I was describing it as being quiet and mostly empty at this time of day— does that work for you Masterofchaos?

Works great!

Excellent!

I've got the whole idea of my post worked out, and about half of it typed. Shouldn't be too long 'till it's done.

EDIT: Yikes! I hope you guys missed my super-long posts. This one is going to be up there.

@Lockedbox: Is your character a high value asset? Is the organisation chasing your character the kind that might contact the governments of different parts of the world through middlemen to find him?

Not officially. If they knew the half of what he'd done they'd come down on him like a tonne of bricks (provided they could catch him) but as it stands there just isn't enough evidence, only implications and conflicting witness statements. They still chase him down but unless they actually managed to catch him they have no idea what it is they're trying to catch. He's become something of an X-file.

As for your second question, ASIO and Nacho are government bodies (the CIA equivalents of Australia and Japan, though my research of japan has yet to go beyond cursory googling and light reading) but they have never exchanged information on him and have no idea that they've both been hunting the same person. He's an expert at traveling without leaving so much as an electronic footprint, and they don't know that he's left the country yet. If they did connect the dots though he'd be in for a world of trouble. If you want to chase him I'd be happy to PM you some details on why he's being chased.

So who's planning on participating in City?

Edit: That is, of those who haven't joined yet - just want to get an idea of how many people it might have.

Me, when I get my post written.

All right, fixed my city post.

It's 1,242 words. It's a monster. I'm sorry, and I hope you like reading. But boy did I sure spend those two hours writing!

I'm sure half of you know who "the shape" is, but, eh, that's how I like writing. Also, I'm working on a drawing of the character which I hope to have done later tonight or tomorrow.

I just posted my ready-prepared entry post — now to review what I missed during the interminably dull and pointless speeches at my sister's graduation, and see if anyone reacts.

I'll be posting soon once I confirm some details with Lockedbox

I'm going to be at an anime convention so I won't be able to post until monday (4 pst or later). Snowy's been awesome and agreed to post for me, but it's more or less so Ozzy and the rest of the group can continue chattering without my characters being dead. (so if you could not purposely direct the conversation on them constantly til monday, that would be great.)

If you want to bug Sebastian, you're just going to have to wait.

And I'll cook something up for the kitchen. Snowy's (seriously I'm a little stressed out) agreed to just put the sparring room drama on hold.

This is of course assuming I can't wrangle myself a computer in which case I might post something short.

Actually Aqueos, I think that works out fine. Tehpillowstar wanted to do something that would remove both Ozzy and Andrew from the company of Hilda and Sven, so you might not need to be present at all. I was just waiting on a post from your side before anything goes into motion.

Aaaaahhhh, it's the landslide start of Mansion all over again!

I figured that the tall man was going to turn out to be Nyarly (Cthulhu was a surprise, though).

Edit: Nevermind, read Masterofchaos's post wrong.

edited 24th May '13 11:15:08 PM by Yomegami

I'm just full of surprises.

EDIT: Something I realized. Why Nyarlathotep and very few other Mythos beings (Maybe just Shub-Niggurath though) are easy to make into human form, Cthulhu was not one of them and it took some thought to make him into the stocky muscle guy that he is. I had, at one point, thought of him in human form, as a slim businessman, but that idea was quickly dispersed.

Oh, also, can someone give me just a brief overview of what's happened in the Park so far? I don't need anything too detailed - it's a big park, after all, right? - but if anything really noticeable has happened, could you fill me in? Lots of long posts to look through... And there will probably be more by the time I post tomorrow...

• Wilhelm and Jonathan woke up on a bench and found that they weren't in the right park.
• Some old, worn-out guy collapses into a bench.
• Violet warps in and starts heading in the direction of Centerpoint Tower.
• Amu is meditating or something of the sort close to the middle of the park.

A little rushed to be completed, but here is an accurate drawing of how my character in City looks. Sorry about the notepaper, I've got no excuses.

Now, I'm going to see if I can post before getting too tired, then find some treasured sleep.

Hold on, is the entertainment district in the commercial zone? if not, could you tell me where it is?

Yup, it's the white zone. Unfortunately its legend key got pushed out of the textbox when I added something above it, and I didn't notice. Sorry about that!

Oh, okay, thanks.

I'm wondering if I should join in...
