We Are Our Avatars (Discussion)

Yeah, this is the sort of thing that is a massive red flag.

...Thanks guys...

...And I'm sorry. I often take things I like seriously...

Nothing wrong with passion. Just have to be self-aware about it. Know how to read the situation and when you're going too far. You are 18 after all.

Need to keep that in mind...

Just try to catch yourself whenever you're starting. If you feel frustrated IRL take a step back and think about the reason and if it seems like a good reason to be frustrated. Eventually it'll become second nature and you'll be a chill douchebag just like the rest of us.

<<giggles a bit>> Thanks...

Don't thank me yet. You're not out of the woods until you're the one who can tell yourself these things. And that part is on you.

Where is every one?

Off mulling over my kickass wisdom obviously.

No I mean IC.

I don't know why I'm being so hard on myself recently... (-__-')

Still the same general setting of a train station. Probably near somewhere cozy like a coffee shop for maximum passerby-freaking-out.

You just started collage Aqua, the stress is probably getting to you.

...Hey, where did Josh go?

I had a meeting at New Horizons. Sorry about that.

It's alright. Just wondering where you went.

I know it's a bit too early for this yet, but I'm actually curious.

How am I doing with my new characters?

I'm actually here this time, and my hours have moved around to where I can actually be online. Did I miss ANFSCD?

still ongoing

@Rika: Better than I am with Lucas. (-__-')

@Spaz: Nope! It's still running!

Hm... any requests? I'm thinking maybe I could drop in Detective Burkhardt, but apart from that I'm not really sure what to do.

I'm stuck between three character ideas I want to try out; all I know is that I want to try writing for a female character, but beyond that, these are all rough ideas, and I'm not sure which of these sounds best to pursue further.

The first is a kleptomaniac/pack-rat character who has Batman levels of preparedness, but often with improvised solutions. Example: in the sweetroll test, she might have thrown a baseball to knock down the thief, then maced him with a can of Raid up close. She will never have specialized equipment (e.g. guns, explosives, actual lockpicks, etc.) unless her travels somehow take her to a place where such items are easily stolen. They usually wouldn't, of course, but then this is the WAOA crew.

The second is a girl with a small device that she can bisect and clutch in her hands, and if she successfully touches either half to something, it leaves an explosive 'tag' that does about what you'd expect. The catch is that she has absolutely no martial training or ability, and so her effectiveness is limited to "hopelessly flailing."

The third option is to go with a non-OC character, and I swear I had an example ten seconds ago but I've already forgotten it. Damn.

Opinion time? Sure, I'll go ahead and give you some feedback/opinions.

The first one I'd ask for more details on, as we've had kleptomaniac characters in this game before and they ranged from harmless to almost getting a giant mob sent after them because their urge took hold at the wrong time.

The second one, well, same deal. The device might be interesting, but got no idea 'bout the rest of her.

Third one, well, a lotta us already play non-OCs so totes cool with me, just depends on which one.

All fair points; like I said, rough ideas.

So I am facing quite a conundrum.

On the one hand, I have the feeling that Narset is not working too well as a character.

On the other, I have no idea who to play instead of her if I should drop her.

WHAT DO D:
