| This isn't a piece of literature, but it pertains to the topic of the forum. Every story has a character, of sorts. I was wondering what you guys on this board think about characters, like, what do you think makes a character interesting? Is there any specific sort of charcter that sparks your interested, anything they do or say? Any stereotypes you don't like? I wanna hear what some peers think about this sort of thing, and maybe about some of the characters you've created yourselves. | |||

| I still need to finish FE8, but so far Lyon has been a bastard to everyone. I think Myrrh is a bit overrated too, its just that people haven't seen a Manakete in the other game so they went nuts.
I actually made Joshua a Swordmaster (he's the one doing most the killing in this mission) and Marisa was my assasin. Rar! I had to start again, because on turn 11 some guys came out of one of the corridors and murdered Cormag. Its a pain to get all those treasure chests when the only unit I have that can open them without a key is Rennac. That has to suck to lose him (unless you've got Colm leveled up enough). But anyways, I thought Lloyd and Linus were pretty cool, even though Linus looked like Ben Affleck... |

| Haha, Fa in SSB. That'd be pretty sweet, it'd have the sort of moves like Zelda did in SSBM, how she could turn into Sheik and all that. I'd like to see Hector in this though. SSB needs a guy with an axe.
(Off topic: Senerio is a dude?) Aaaanyways. I'd pull someone out of Fire Emblem 8 also. Probably Joshua, he seemed to be a cool posterboy for the game that people might recognize. Though I'd like to see Artur in there... and I'd like to see Lowen, but that won't be happening. |

| I could do anything for love but I won't do that...
That being listening to Meatloaf. Ah... just kidding, I've only heard that one song, and its music video was ridiculous. Meatloaf is okay. My fourth grade teacher looked just like Meatloaf, the guy at least (is the band or the one guy meatloaf?). She was pretty foxy. |

| How about Romulus, oh oh... or uh... Casa Stormy? Or The Cakewalkers. I like those ones. Sasuke gave some pretty good advice there, I think. | |||

| I've read somewhere about cry baby bridge, it seems more reasonable than a lot of the urban myths out and about now. But that is a bizarre coincidence that that happened to you. Are you near cry baby bridge? | |||

| Cape Cod homeboy in the house... yo....
Cape Cod chips rule. I get them as much as I can, and they don't smell like ass like Lay's and Utz. Cape cod >>>>>>>> any chip. Especially Utz. I found a copper wire in a bag of Utz once. My only problem with Cape Cod is that once in a while they're so hard my gumbs bleed, just a little... adds extra flavor I guess. |

| The thing about some of my characters in the story I'm writing now is that they're backgrounds are sort of lost. Lately I've been trying to unfold them more, so I think its fair to say there's enough detail about they're present selves to indicate what happened to them in the past. Such as one character, he strives to be a brave man but has a fear of going beyond his boundaries, so he is only known locally as a hero. I suppose that's good enough, though that is only a very small synopsis of the guy. One of them is sort of a mystery, but in a way that it seems he could've been anything before what he is now, and the other is a very bleak man who's just bored. | |||

| My favorite... of course, VGCats and Penny Arcade...both so very excellent. VGCats though..., I honestly wait days for the creator to make new comics. They're that awesome. | |||

| Things Have Changed by Bob Dylan sums how I feel about a lot of things up quite nicely. Its one of his newer songs, from '99 I think. For some reason I used to shun the fact that people can connect with lyrics, up until I've heard this song. Then I sorta realized why people feel that connection. | |||

| Now, all those Fire Emblem characters would rule, but there is sitll something I would like to see over that...
A game thats on all systems (Like Soul Calibur 2) that pins each system's specific characters against eachother. Like, all the Nintendo stars, and playstation only characters, and XBox guys too. Throw in any other system you like there. I've always wanted to see Bowser beat the shit out of Spyro the Dragon. |

| Converse low tops with the sides completely torn off. I will get a picture. They are the single most thrashed shoes on the face of this planet, that havent been purposely thrashed. I've had them since 7th grade, and I'm now going into 10th, and they still fit.
I USED to have a pair of green bottomed Converse High Tops, but they have a gash in the bottom and are caked in mud ever since I jumped into a snow covered swamp late one night. That sucked, my foot was bleeding and I had to walk the whole way home. I accidently clicked sandals though... my sandals suck, they have no grip. |

| I'm not an avid anime watcher. The only ones I see are whatever is on TV. So I'm probably not getting the best out of the whole experience of watching the show, but still, I can tell what is a good cartoon, and Paranoia Agent is a good cartoon.
This show is gradually getting more and more messed up. It's on late at night, on Adult Swim, where it is rightfully placed. Has anyone else seen it? |

| Elara: its pretty difficult to create a whole new world. I keep having struggles with it, but for the sake of the story it may have to be somewhere other than earth, despite the complete resemblance. I'm starting to think its the same planet, so maybe it'll be an unnamed country. Its set in a turn of the century, 1800's-like setting, so that was sort of hard to describe without referencing America's turn of the century..
I'm sort of torn between two ideas, but I'm leaning more towards one... In my story (River Notes) there is a character who's purpose in life is to promote peace. But as the world teeters on the edge of hopelessness, he still stays happy despite all that is around him. The idea is that there is a being that can use the sorrow of other people as a sort of energy. She attempts a global genocide of joy and finds a way to make everyone feel crappy. They aren't physically hurt, its an emotional thing. Oh yeah, its not really her, its this force that is inside her using her as a sort of figurehead. So as the story progresses, the force feels it needs more attention on its earthly body and begins to block out the moon with a concentrated form of itself that it gains whenever it syphons the sorrow from a being. In the unnamed land that this story takes place, the moon represents many things to the people. Its sort of a holy object that they all are always happy to see, but now that it is gone from the night sky, they're sorrow builds up and thus! yes, it is themselves who are blocking out the very thing they love. But, The whole premise of the characters chasing after the woman is: 1) The (sort of) main character was her lover and feels it is unfair that this force has engulfed her. He's an average man who is placed with the most pain on his shoulders. In order to stop this, he has to get rid of her and himself somehow, as he is the top most syphon for the woman's (Her name is Marcelle, btw) power. He frantically, in the beginning searches for her, and when news of the moons blockage comes, he realizes what he must do, but doesn't want to do it. NOW. To keep his sanity and to keep him from getting close to this side of Marcelle there are the following other two characters: 2) Marlowe, who yearns so much for something that he is unable to attain. He travels with Turshman (the guy talked about above) as a sort of body guard, but all he wants in the beginning is a sort of fame. Slowly he grows to be extremely close friends with Turshman, and is a small target for Marcelle to stop, so she doesn't do it with her own hands. He's constantly being hunted down by hired groups, but his death wouldn't mean as much as the third guy: 3) The Peddler, and the character who I'm having a small problem with. Though he promotes peace and everything, its hard to throw him into the action of the story. What I think he is going to do is the helper of whoever is in need and the actual fighting will be left to Marlowe and Turshman. I think it would make his character stronger if he stood up to his beliefs and not fight physically. The reason to why he is on they're journey for Marcelle is that he is the very most bothersome person for Marcelle. He is the one person she cannot take any sorrow from, and thus the moon will never be completely eclipsed. Later on in the story he becomes known as "The Corona" as the ring of light around the moon is due to his willingness to withstand against the power that has swallowed everyone up. If I haven't explained why she's trying to get all this power, its because of a perverse nirvanic state that the force inside her (eventually called Tragedy) wants to obtain. I won't go into much detail about that right now though. So, I think the Peddler should not engage in any combat or anything, and simply save the two other characters asses when they're in trouble. Does that sound like it'd be a good idea, or is there anyway I could/should fix it? (Whew *finished unneccisarily long post* Done!) |
