OOC DISCUSSION MEME;



Save the Earth requires a good deal of thought to apply into. Because of this, it can't hurt to get some input into your ideas or to get some idea of how other players will feel about them.

This post is exactly for that. Think of it as a creativity workshop where there are no stupid questions, bad ideas can get weeded out and good ones can get fed properly. However, this space is for constructive criticism only. Please remain mindful of that.

How it Works:

Put forward your idea for a character you wish to apply. Point out the parts you like most, the holes you want help with, the parts where you can't seem to make up your mind either way. Consider what sort of goals you'd like to achieve in the game, why you think the character is a good fit and what sort of roles they'll be able to fulfil. Don't be afraid to let it all If you have an app in progress, you might want to link to it. Similarly, linking to a resource to let others know the preincarnated character better might be a good idea.

Then, discuss with others! Hopefully you'll be able to make your vision more complete and understand the game better. Potentially you could formulate future CR or even pre-game CR.

That last part is what gets me the most, I think. I mean, I really like the idea of a character having to figure out how to deal with something like an Echo, especially if their personality was really different. Like later that day after I asked, I kind of thought...like what if this version was kind of standoffish or maybe has to steal and scrap by for a living or something, and had to deal with a much different personality type.

Then again, I may bring in someone who was a villain in their canon, sooo may leave the reverse of that alone til then...

I guess it's sort of depending if I want to stay somewhere comfortable at first or branch out...

I admit, it is kind of fun to do a complete 180 in their personality or a what if their life had been normal.

So to start, maybe we'd want to consider do you want her to be from a farm, or even just a very rural town? The area works out well for it, some of the eastern states are very well suited for farmers and often kids will go to college to learn more about agriculture.
