I feel bad that I botched it last time and I'm wondering if I should actually even do it or not

but like if anyone wants to try to enable me to play somebody this would be the time? I can list off my canons and stuff

I guess there's not much point in me posting this if I don't let people know the things I'm familiar with xD ..

okay um... Soul Eater, Hellsing, FMA, Avatar (the show), Slayers, Gurren Lagann, Baccano, Darker Than Black, Elfen Leid, Bleach, Madoka, Mirai Nikki, and Attack on Titan when I finish the manga :T

there are probably a few others but those ones are the ones I'm most familiar with and like the most.

oh wait I forgot video games, duh

mostly to that I'd add some of the Tales games... Abyss, Symphonia (though it's been a long time), and Vesperia

your Duke face reminded me of that >>;

hehehe

Who from Symphonia? -peer-

if you're thinking just Paradisa, we have a nice collection of lovely Symphonia people and Duke, all on his lonesome, from Vesperia

yeah I've seen that... I'd have to replay the game before I played it but I've been meaning to do that anyway. lemme think for a sec... tbh Yuan was always my favorite but I can't do him, there's no way

I could live up to the previous one ever

maybe Genis or Kratos, or maybe Raine? though I know you had a really good Raine before too and I'm pretty intimidated ;;

:|a

Kratos is always fun

Kratos is a blast to play. :3c I love breaking his brain

if you guys really want me to app into your cast I'll def. replay the game and give you a more concrete answer :>

Any ideas from vesperia

I don't have any accounts for my Tales muses (besides an unfinished Jade account), so don't worry about me XD

Oh, and I have Dist.

derp.

Oh god Dist >> .. again though I'd be afraid I couldn't match up to your previous Jade, plus I think Jade is a little too smart for me to play :T

XD diiissst.

though I'd love to play off of a Dist, lol

he's so fantastic

and Jadddeee XD

=D

Dist is my favorite and loudest muse XD

He's so easy to write anymore. It's like I don't even have to think

from Abyss I'd be willing to consider a lot of the cast because they're one of my favorites

I will have to tell the jade you think so

...how the heck do you do strikethrough on plurk

I must know the secret to this sorcery

yeah seriously?

-- on both sides of the text

oh okay

sweet

some punctuation messes with it, just like it does with *italics

and **bolds

am i doin it rite

oh look I did it

I think part of the fun of playing a Jade would be that he could figure things out that you can't, but then... he wouldn't tell anyone.

Y e p

because he's Jade.

And that's the reason for everything he does.

Because he's Jade.

I'm afraid to play him because I failed at trying to play another really smart character who keeps things to himself :x I don't think it's the right type of character for me

I have the most experience playing woobies and villains but I kind of want to try something else for once?

ahhh :|a

and Jade is a villain I mean

villains don't seem to work too well in Paradisa anyway

I'm learning that myself. >__>;

no Jade is just too smart xD I mean outright villains though for the record not like anti-heroes/anti-villains and stuff like Kratos

I should really consider him though that'd be a lot of pressure on my shoulders :<

I'm severely tempted to try to bring in Yeager from Vesperia, which ought to be okay because Duke and Yeager don't ever interact

As much as I love playing Kristoph, I've been afraid that he's not dynamic enough...

I'm afraid a lot of my character types wouldn't do well in public RP

oh god Yeager is amazing I love him ;_; I'd honestly play Alexei but I really don't think he'd work here.

hahahah

I would love for him to show up

But Duke may try to greet him with the business end of Dein Nomos

>> yeah I'd kind of expect that

I can see him both working and not working in Paradisa. He's.. smart and charasmatic enough to be able to hide that AND TO RESTRUCTURE THE EMPIRE I'M GOING TO WIPE IT OFF THE MAP

.. .stuff.

but at the same time, it would also be a case of ".. and then what does he focus on-"

the thing about villains in Paradisa is that they basically have to hide it and I have to always be aware of both how they're displaying themselves to people and what they're really like/really thinking

Holy shit are you me?

and that's difficult @@ I don't have a lot of faith in my ability to handle that

That's what I've noticed from just making a couple posts.

lol maybe

yeah I noticed the same thing when I tried to play Kimblee. that and I just didn't have a lot I could do with him in Para. he could just go and overtly blow shit up

but that would get the Shonens down on him or something-

yeah exactly.

I'd thought about fucking with the shonens but it was just coming down to "What do I have for a long-term goal...?"

And I couldn't answer it. Paradisa was basically just hell for Kristoph and I just didn't know what else to do with it.

yeah, that too. I just didn't know what he'd plan to do, other than find out how to get out of the castle

so I really need to find someone who isn't a villain that I feel very comfortable playing. which I'm sure there are characters like that I just have to make up my mind

Yeah...I got craptons of muses but I have no confidence in playing them publicly.

:|a I haven't poked at Alexei's brain at all, but I feel like he could attempt to make this place ... function like the empire he wanted to re-create?

and I might grow two more once I get further i Tales of Graces

all you Tales cast people are definitely making me consider that highly so I'll replay Symphonia asap :>

I dunno, Duke is fairly content to sit back and let you stupid humans other residents do things c:

having a character with really long term plans to make huge changes at the castle is stressful @@ though it'd be SO AWESOME if it actually came to fruition

Yeah.

I really don't trust my brain to handle super complicated stuff ;_; I guess I doubt myself after having to drop a character so soon

though I know for a fact that I can play Alexei... I just don't know how well he'd work in Para.

but I'll think about it? :>

:>

confession: I doubted myself more than ever after the Samkranti post. More than usual since I looked at the events and realized I couldn't see Kristoph in any of those situations..

so I'm seriously considering either a hiatus, or dropping...

maybe it would help for me to think about the sorts of events that happen at Para and see if I can envision how the characters I'm playing would work in those situations

mmm :|a understandable!

and then just think up a bunch of things that could be entertaining to do in the setting. I know I have a stickynote of temp!losses I'd like to do just for lulz, and things, that if left alone long enough,

would want to try

yeah, that's a good idea. I'll try to pick out some characters I'm interested in playing and do that for all of them, that should help me narrow it down

they may not all be Tales characters admittedly but I do admit it'd be nice to have at least one canonmate <3

o/ 8D

thanks you guys.

welcome

I'm thinking about just throwing myself into memes to get used to the prospect of impromptu rp with characters I don't recognize

I've never actually thrown myself into memes, just d_m occasionally... I'm always too nervous.

I did, once in a while, but... really rarely tagged XD XD

I just figure it's better than bugging people for their AIM names for the sake of IM RP >>;;;

yeah that may be true xD I could at least make a musebox or something if nothing else.

I do want to make sure I have a good voice for whoever I pick...

true, true

Dark Secret: I have more muses than my musebox suggests, it's just that those are the ones I could actually play publicly >>;

I'm always afraid to make accounts for characters unless I'm sure I'm going to play them somewhere .. which is probably a stupid thing to worry about...

ahha. I impulse make occasionally >>;;

I think a lot of people do?

wouldn't surprise me XD
