this for JA? keep it short and sweet man, the personality is what's most important.

It's only two paragraphs thus far! I just am not used to having to fit things into the timeline of a canon I'm not familiar with so I've spent a lot of time looking around the Pacific Rim wiki.
there's a timeline linked to the comm dude
all the info you need n one place
(especially since vi had to change a few things a bit to make them fit)
like the game is pacrim inspired but not 100% set to canon
Rowan

I know, I looked at that. But there's a lot of stuff I don't know that goes beyond timeline and I just want to make sure I don't do anything that contradicts game info.
Rowan
2014-02-13T02:55:19.000Z
Don't worry, I'm not going to overplan and tl;dr. I just want to make sure I'm not half-assing this either.
hahaha dude you are worrying too much again. it's good that you care tho, you're always so into stuff I gotta admire it
wait I thought you already submitted the app actually
do you need me to tag the TD back and forth quickly toight or anything?
Rowan
2014-02-13T02:56:25.000Z
You sure did. I've been so busy tagging the test drive that I 100% hadn't touched the app.
cause I can do that I didn't get to go into the city with the others cos I got sick
lol it's all good I'm doing mine tonight too
Rowan
2014-02-13T02:56:48.000Z
Nah, it's fine! I have plenty of other tags, I'll probably use his thing with Sugane as the sample, that's the longest.
I thought Vi said you had submitted it but she must've meant someone else I was tagging with
Rowan
2014-02-13T02:57:10.000Z
I like Chelsea's better quality wise but it's only 2 tags so far, so. /shrug
link as many as you want and you only need 5comments total so
...I'm being nosy again huh
Rowan
2014-02-13T02:58:09.000Z
She must've. Either that or she's delusional. Or got a notif for me asking a question I need for history and assumed it was an app.
Rowan
2014-02-13T02:58:24.000Z
I'M EXCITED TOO THOUGH just also repeatedly headdesking at my inability to write histories
Rowan
2014-02-13T02:58:53.000Z
When you're summarizing lots of events in a short space, I find it hard to avoid the boring trap of "A happened. Then eventually B and C kind of there was some other shit too but no one cared about that"
lol nah I would bet money I just misheard her I often tune people out tbh
mm I tend to just pick like a couple big events as far as history goes and leave the rest out
but I also generally play characters who've only had like 5 major life changing events so
Rowan
2014-02-13T03:01:00.000Z
Yeah, but there's still the stylistic problem of making it an interesting readable section and not just a bullet point timeline that happens to look like sentences.
Rowan
2014-02-13T03:01:42.000Z
BUT I'm just whining instead of writing now. They aren't heinous, they are necessary, blah blah.
haha nah it's cool. I whine when I have to read stuff, tbh. writing is easy, but reading...that's tough.
Rowan
2014-02-13T05:03:30.000Z
Dear god, I'm browsing other people's stuff and the personality sections go on for days
Rowan
2014-02-13T05:03:49.000Z
I mean I can tl;dr but. Eesh.
show a basic understanding
I've had plenty of convos with Vi about this stuff and she's not looking for shittons of tl;dr just that you're consistent in your characterizations etc
Rowan
2014-02-13T05:05:23.000Z
:c Ok thanks bro
you'll be fine man don't sweat it
ad stop looking at other people's apps it's always a bad idea
just say what you want to say and you'll have it down
Rowan
2014-02-13T05:14:17.000Z
I'm working on it! I'm about half done with history and I think I'm almost done with personality.
Rowan
2014-02-13T05:14:45.000Z
Which means it'll probably take another two hours or something stupid so I should go to bed and finish it tomorrow, ugh
Rowan
2014-02-13T05:14:48.000Z
DON'T WANNA
lol I have 2 paragraphs of history
Rowan
2014-02-13T05:19:08.000Z
Shhhhhhhhhh I'm getting to the parts of his personality that AREN'T embarrassing!
