Also, just an aside because I know this is just a casual forum game, but I think many of the characters would benefit from a few more IQ points in general. Some of the stuff I see happening (sorry if you like this webcomic) seems like stupid one-off joke shit from Ctrl-Alt-Del, stuff that tries to be funny but is so unnatural and stilted that it just sort of falls flat on its face.
Granted, there are lots of genuinely funny moments that have happened in the FG as of recent, but I've seen a lot of stuff that was supposed to be comical that sort of just boiled down to "oh herp-de-derp, Character X is sooooo dense that he just did that! Hee hee! Ooooooh, lookit now he's overreacting and screaming ha ha isn't he just rich?" I understand that lovable buffoons are all well and good and funny, but there's a fine line between "buffoon" and "mentally-deficient hermit with disturbingly violent mood swings that remind me of Tommy Wiseau in The Room".
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that situational comedy is fine, but most of the stuff like that in the room has just pretty much been stupidity taken to eleven combined with stilted reactions and all that stuff. I'm not saying you have to write a perfect, emotionally-complex character with a detailed backstory and complex motives, jut please try to dial it down on the "lol stoopid" a little. Even Timmy Turner from Fairly Odd Parents has some common sense (or used to, but I don't wanna grumble your ear off), so please, give your character some too. It's not as hard as you would think. Just try to do a bit of thinking before you post, like you would if you were spell checking, and ask yourself if the character's actions are logical. They don't have to be all the time, just enough to where you're not trying and failing to emulate Fry from Futurama.
Sorry, that was long-winded, and I may have been ninja'd, but I just wanted to get that out there. Also, if your character is canonically very stupid, like Jar-Jar, then you don't have to worry too much about this. However, don't ignore this advice if you have an OC and you're thinking "oh, no biggie, my OC's a dumbass, they're good to go". A lot of what I've described has involved OCs. Not naming names, but please, take what I said to heart. I mean all of it.
And now back to your regularly-scheduled bad Homestuck fantroll. :P
