^^ Just write a narrative post sort of thing here unless you want a chatlog to go before or during it.

Something like ">Coelia: Heroic sacrifice. Make it hapen."

I'll have to come up with something good. A chatlog would be interesting, have her talking with someone and leave because enemies and she starts burning them up but oh gog she's cornered and she manages to kill all of them but burns to death in the process.

Or an after one where someone finds all the spoils of the burned-up enemies... and Coelia, dead, and burned practically beyond recognition.

...yeah ok that's depressing.

Here's how I see it. Coelia and another troll around scouting a path to the black king. They come across an army of Dersian troops and large enemies like castles and knights or whatever.

The way to the black king is blocked by this huge army. The other troll suggests waiting for the other trolls before they try to attack. They camp down for the night.

The army shifts position during the night. Now Coelia and the other troll are caught between the king's army and the one that moved during the night.

Coelia asks the other troll to wait as she goes to look for an escape route. She doesn't find one so she does the next best thing. BLAZE OF GLORY.

The other troll wonders where Coelia is and goes looking. Finds the entire army eradicated and sees Coelia taking down the final huge enemy. Coelia turns around and with a smile tells the other troll that the way is open now and dies of burns from indiscriminate use of her end game weapon.

Oooh, that's even more depressing than the lame thing my non-creative non-writer self came up with.

You have to think like a Bocaj. "How can I make the characters suffer?"

I'm just... not a writer. I may have occasional ideas but they're in no way consistent, nor can I just come up with something on cue. It's frustrating in that very little of my character in this RP is something I came up with entirely on my own; aside from her interests she's mostly pieced together from other people's ideas. And this disappoints me about myself but I honestly don't know how to improve (those exercises from "creative writing" classes are pretty much garbage and only serve to frustrate me further, for example.)

Sorry to rant here; I'm just disappointed that my ideas are so worthless in comparison to everyone else's.

Well, participating in the RP should help. I mean, we may have helped with the character but you're the one who decides how she'll react to things. And its nothing to be ashamed of getting help with the character anyway. I got a lot of feedback from Hay Zudak and Kat when I was making Kobatt. And half the point of the OOC chatroom is to kick around plot ideas.

Posting to record it more permanently. Presently, an account has been set up for anyone who wants to take over Ketura until Runic comes back. The account name is "unseelieSolarium" and the password is "fairypixies".

^^ Why unseelie?

^ Let it never be said that the Euboea/Vertas feud was entirely her fault. Its about 70/30.

It's not really a fit for her personality, but it does have a "night" angle, as well as a denotation of fairies and she's probably the most fairylike.

With regards to Ketura's typing quirk, since Runic kept changing it, for anyone who wants to play her:

  • She types in silver (#C0C0C0) on a black (#000000) background.
  • Depending on her mood, she replaces her Cs with either a ) when in a good mood (representing a waxing crescent moon) or a ( when in a bad mood (a waning crescent)
  • She doesn't type in strict haiku format (lines of five, then seven, then five syllables) because that would be too difficult. However, all her lines are either five or seven syllables long. This is actually fairly easy to do.

And of course those rules only apply to Trollian conversations. And if you want to play her than it would probably be best to read her profile. Bocaj put it in the OP so finding it is easy.

So yeah, having a couple different people play the same character is going to be interesting, seeing how different people interpret her and all. I just don't want any glaringly obvious differences in how she types, etc. from person to person.

Do you actually think anyone other than me is going to play her, though? Everyone else said "not it" when the discussion of who would play Ketura came up. =P

I've been considering it and I might, as long as I'm not the only one.

Need to get a better handle on her though.

Man, if a total of four people RP her....damn, she's not gonna just be bipolar, she's gonna have fucking multiple personality disorder.

A hot-headed trickster acts like the victim and extorts favors from an insufferable tactician.

^ Euboea didn't actually have any plans. She was well distracted by other matters. }:o

>Bocaj: Attempt to art Catlin

Your attempt was an overwhelming success.

I actually went back and fixed the piercings after I already picturegraphed this. And my mighty creative brainmuscles failed to cover every spare inch of Catlin with tattoos so I settled for one. A tattoo of a snake coiling up her right arm in the manner of the Rod of Asclepius. Also, she looked much less like a lesbian before Hay Zudak mentioned a pixie haircut.
