Actually, I was gonna post about Dolphin with his morning jogs, since that what he usually does, and meeting Wolf at his door.

[up][up][up][up] Trying to start a conversation can be done descriptively too. I mean, it doesn't need to be reflective, or what the character thinks, but at least describe how the character got there, or how the motive came about. It can be just another few words that gives a general description "With this motive, X went to Y's room." or "Sensing Y's presence at Cafe ABC, X teleported to him to ask him about Z."

Okay. It still works.

EDIT: Wow. I just realized that Motree and I are the only people to've brought in outsiders. 'Cause... we happen to be writers with other characters.

Well, my reason is because I don't have any outsider characters to bring in that's connected to Tyke. She literally had no one when this started...

I think most people in this RP crafted their characters out of whole cloth for this. I don't have a problem with others doing it, but I've found that whenever I try to make a character that fast, they'll be bland and one-dimensional for their first two weeks or so of life.

Hmmm. What do you and Mo think of the other characters, CG? I'm just curious.

I can make people up on the spot, but I prefer to use premade characters.

[up] Well... I freaking love Prosecution, Colt, and Gear. The first two are batshit and Gear's just plain entertaining to read.

Tyke is amusing as well, and I enjoy making Key interact with her. At first, he was just as overprotective as you would expect from a Papa Wolf, but as he real Tyke began to emerge he realizes she can fend for herself and doesn't fret as much. Still cares, definitely, but doesn't need to constantly worry.

I like to use RPs both as a game and writing exercise so that I can see, "Okay, how well can I write this character? How well can I do this?" If I craft another character out of whole cloth, they'll be a oneshot character who may never, ever show up again.

Also, it's kinda fun to screw with Demon. Dolphin's just a cheerful guy; I love him a lot. I've known Key for about three years. Tykebomb is... honestly a little freaky. Colt's just interesting. Gold Record would be fun to screw with if I saw him more often. Tick's a little impulsive.

Gold Record would probably be hilarious if he showed up more often... And Dolphin is, like, the only sane person here.

Seconded on screwing with Demon.

Well, Wolf's relatively mentally stable, but he still seems to have a mild case of PTSD due to breaking when he was a whopping nineteen years old.

Finished sketching fem!Prossy. It looks like shit considering fitted blazers are a bitch to draw over big breasts. Moving on to fem!Demon. I'm thinking of doing fem!Dolphin or fem!Gear afterwards.

And I'm making a crack at Kal's status as a Memetic Molester in my 'verse. Her idea of dressing up nice for a conversation with someone is to dress in a tasteful way that will probably build a tower in mens' pants.

Which she's probably kind of bummed about. Nothing entertains her more than when guys get nervous.
