Does anyone mind helping me?

Just type in whatever words that describe personality traits can come to mind: Stoic, hot-headed, persistent, calm, things like that.

apocolocyntosis

Cynical, patient, content...

Hedonistic- Narcissistic...

There's so many things to choose from.

I know I just need help with writing, I'm an awful writer lately. I can't think of personality traits, and the search in google doesn't do a lot.

As I said last night, Fuck writer's block.

I'm tired as hell today aswell, and I'm almost feeling a headache.

This is for the character I spoke of last night btw.

No problem.

Sometimes for basics you can just throw in a dash of either one of the 7 virtues or 7 sins.

And build from there.

7 Virtues?

I know the 7 sins but the 7 virtues I don't, remember I come from Israel, so we only study the old testament.

Also I do know he is stoic, or at least he seems that way. He hides his emotions rather well, but he has them. Actually the whole thing of hiding is his shtick, hiding his past, hiding his emotions hiding almost everything about him.

Hiding is rather commonplace, but that's because it's rather effective.

But there is a trope page for the Seven Heavenly Virtues

Thank you, it did help me a bit on what to say yes he has it and what he doesn't.

And yes hiding is commonplace, but I want the major theme of the story to be:Don't hide everything, don't show everything, both are self destructive.

That might be hard to pull off when I don't really have the story yet.

Yes. I just need to clear my head off and get my imagination going, nothing seems to be inspiring me lately though.

Inspiration can come in many flavors.

Personally I'm rather lucky to have the English countryside close at hand.

And a bloody great big hill-fort

I live in central Israel, our city is modern yet there's quite a lot of greenery at some places, btw, when I mean city, I mean a small city, very small, not something like New York, that's almost bigger than the whole of Israel.

Although I am going to France soon, a place called Lile, full of greenery and stuff.

Still wish I'd seen more animals around, might help me with my world building.

[up] I'm having a headache, a writers block, and something woke me up at 5 am. How are you?

Even city streets can be an inspiration for more urban stories.

Also-

Hey Badgers.

I am fine.

I still have some sun-burn.

But luckily the one on the back of my right hand has gone.

Yeesh, writer's block.

YEESH, sunburn.

Sorry to hear about that you guys.

I just finished printing out my portfolio assignment and it's ready to be submitted tomorrow. Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

[up][up]Oh yes, the problem is, I haven't created the land of Elves, which will be the Urban Fantasy section of my world. Imagine elves with sideburns. Victorian suits and stuff. Basically Victorian England of some sorts. 18th century technology.

I'm certain I'll add something to the mix. But at least I have the skull of the idea.

[up] Yeah today's not the best for my imagination. I'm sorry if I seem angry today.

I'll be honest, that concept alone sounds pretty damn cool.

But yeah, better to add a bit more meat to it. Good luck bro!

Indeed.

Ah well.

Just a minor nit-pick... if it's Victorian it's probably 19th Century technology.

18th is more Flintlocks and Redcoats.

And I pretty much want to defy Our Elves Are Better. But not do Screw You, Elves!.

I want to do them flawed. But not    Evil   , as all sentient creatures should be in my opinion

[up] I always forget that it's 19th and not 18th century. Sorry and thank you for fixing my mistake. :P

It's al right. [tup]

Basically Elves are quite equal to humans.

Fair enough, sounds pretty cool.

Yes.

I think dwarves will live among humans. Different tribes for different sorts.

Some will be mercanaries, some will be assassins, some will be merchants.

I don't think they'll be the Standard dwarves we all know.
