well, nice. my brain is stuck.
seen some people with animal characters that had six legs. got this idea for a human character with 4 arms. which i have already completely thought out the character mindset for and gotten somewhat attached to.
problematically though, i'm really anal about logical characters, and i literally cannot think of any reallistic reason why he would have four arms to begin with. i'd prefer that he be from a non-magical medieval universe but all the drugs, drinks and birth-defects in the world can't go so far as to literally give a person a fully functional extra set of limbs. and were i to stick him in a medieval fantasy type universe instead, well i'm also a bit anal about making even arcane elements semi-reallistic... aside from which i can only build up one "unique" universe at a time and i don't really want to jam him into my novel idea... he just wouldn't fit.
and physical probability aside, this is medieval i'm thinking of. i love medieval and i wouldn't have a character in any other timeline but that sort of abnormality would have reallistically gotten this character killed at birth, even were he born to nobility. dark ages people did not handle oddities very well.
augh. Dx i really like this character but he's so illogical and i just... dajodpw;padij89u
