Yep, what it says in the title: I’M BACK, BABY! Fully recovered from writer’s burnout, with oodles of RPG game research and writing time to spare. I even have Galloway’s permission! So, those of you who remember my RPGC Sagas and want to participate again, let me know by posting your character here. We’ll begin as soon as we have enough characters (and definitely by the Holidays!)
For those of you new to this: my RPGC Sagas were fanfiction stories using the members of RPGC, usually but not always with a Xmas theme- an idea I swiped from d Galloway, I admit. My stories tend to be a little more serious, tho. You can check them out in the archive.
I tend to have a problem with finishing long stories, but this time I’ll solve that by strictly limiting the number of chapters I’ll do (but not a specific deadline, that’s too much pressure- still, my goal is to finish by New Year’s.) This is open to EVERYBODY- it doesn’t matter if you have like 2 post in the boards; as long as you request it here, your character will be used (exactly how depends on your wishes and the story’s needs.) You can also join at any time, even right before the end- but of course, the sooner, the better. This is like a Role Play, except I write everybody’s parts, so it’s easier. They tell me my stories were good, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it. (Of course, they might have just been cruelly humoring me. Who knows? )
Anyway, what I need for your characters is this:
Identity- who your character is supposed to be.
Personality- how he or she (or it) reacts to different situations.
Appearance- looks and dress style
Abilities- what your character can do
Background: The character’s history.
Pictures/images are welcome but not necessary.
Exact details are up to YOU. But remember: the more detailed the entry, the better I can use your character. Any type of character is acceptable (well, except blatantly indecent ones). And no, your character doesn’t have to be based on the real you at all. The fact mine is a shameless self-insertion is just an old quirk of mine.
Here’s my character, as an example:
Identity: Wilfredo Martinez, aka Wil; experienced interdimensional adventurer, member of RPGC (Righteous Protectors of Good Causes).
Personality: Wil is motivated mainly by curiosity: if it were up to him, he would spend most of his time exploring new worlds, learning new magic, collecting magic items, etc. Note that he’s interested mostly in the paranormal; mundane things like sports do not interest him much.
Wil doesn’t really like to stick his nose in other people’s business. Unfortunately for him, he has a strong conscience; he just cannot ignore the suffering of others. If he ever runs into an unjust situation, and he decides his help is needed, he WILL help, regardless of how it inconveniences him (or other people.)
Wil is something of a loner; it’s not that he doesn’t enjoy company, but rather that he finds it easier to work alone. (He may also be trying not to get too attached to any one place, since he wants to wander the whole multiverse.) However, he greatly values his friends, and won’t hesitate to ask others for help if needed.
Wil has an analytical mind: he prefers to observe everything -from people’s behavior to an enemy’s combat style- first and then think of the best course of action. He doesn’t always get that luxury, of course. He may be a little too methodical sometimes.
Appearance: Average-looking adult male, except for his somewhat thick eyebrows. Hair and eyes are black. Dresses according to the situation, usually in green and blue. In general, he’s like this guy:
(Note: That’s Will Raynard from Tales of Legendia, if you don’t know.)
Abilities: Average Level Warrior/High Level Magic User. Knows spells from dozens of worlds, though which ones he can actually use depends on what plane he is at the time (he can use most of them on Earth.) Can see dimensional portals (but not open or close them; he has to find an open one to travel). Prefers a staff as a weapon, but has used others. Has a lot of experience with interdimensional travel.
Background: Born in Puerto Rico, Wil discovered he had magical abilities when he was a child. But his superstitious parents thought that his abilities were evil stuff and forced him to promise he would not use them. However, they died when he was a teenager (of natural causes.) Feeling unhappy living with his other relatives, and believing he no longer needed to keep his promise, he left Earth and began adventuring across other worlds.
Years later, he returned, and made up with his living relatives, though they’re still kind of wary of his abilities. He also met and joined RPGC, and has helped them in many occasions. He currently lives on Puerto Rico but continues to explore other worlds.
That’s basically it. If you have any questions, ask them here!
