Divided We Stand - Chat and Discussion

[The Royal Mirage]

Shh Ruby is mine <3

@galaxy: Sure thing, I'll get that to you now There will likely be edits made to the rules section as we move along, and I'd like to keep it flexible in case something new has to be added; extracurriculars and electives are definitely going to change and be added to as well, since we're still totally blank on electives; and landmarks will likely be added in as we all figure out new places we want to see. Other than that, I think the text at least is pretty much finalized

@Mirage: thanks so much! I'm excited to get coding on it.

Can't wait to see what you come up with ^^

So I've been having some trouble with my forms, just trying to force myself to get to the personality sections, and thought that putting down some quick, succinct descriptions would be helpful? Plus I miss all these prompts and such we used to have here, so feel free to participate if you'd like

Describe your character's personality in 5 or fewer words!

Gemini: A sweet, anxious mess
Ruby: The emotionally constipated tough guy
Opal: The endlessly lovely daydreamer
N'Obi: A charismatic eternal optimist
Maia: Amicable altruist seeks approval
Lia: Genuine thrills and emotional needs
Lilith: Stony sarcasm walls off others
Tanga: Loving mother to everyone
Delano: Apathy breeds contempt
Amos: Flirting masks fear and insecurity
Larkspur: A spacey, cuddly cat guy
Phaedrus: He wants to know everything
Arlington: The quiet gentle giant
Melanie: The roguish party animal
Elia: Wholesome child acts as adult
Hamish: Emboldened youth with pure heart

ooh i love this fun little prompt, Mirage! I also miss all those interesting and thoughtful prompts we did months back <3 Perhaps this would be a good exercise to really brush up on the essence of my characters before i finish up their forms.

Actually i'm almost even more curious to see what would happen if we tried to do this prompt with each other's characters - it'd be very fun to see how we would try to sum up one another's characters. not that we have to, i know we don't have all the time in the world, just a fun thought.

I think i especially like Delano's for some reason -it sounds poetic

[The Royal Mirage]

Delano and Lia's forms have been especially hard on me to tone down lol, those two have been dancing around in my mind every night while I try to sleep. Just thinking of the stuff that's bound to go down between them with the atmosphere of a university... Like what kind of descriptions are these??

"It’s hard to imagine she’s the shortest of her sisters, with a petite yet curvy build that manages to look both fragile and delicate as well as warm and inviting; she’s the type you long to hold close yet adore from afar, with a smallness that begs protection and a presence that belies untold inner strength"

"Almond-shaped and usually half-lidded with boredom, faintly lined by dark circles; Delano’s eyes are a vibrant cresson with streaks of yellow gold clustered near his pupils, the hues enrapturing when finding yourself graced with their gaze"

Like heck you two, calm down

And man I didn't even consider how much fun that prompt would be to do for everyone else's characters! Kinda want to try a few, I'll see if I can get at least one character from each of you ^^

Sparrow: Knowing silence and watching eyes
Saber: Give the man a hug
Roan: Just here for some fun
Abaddon: Still waters run deep
Myra: Quiet, not by choice

[*~WolfSoul~*]

I think Lou and Jesse will be most challenging for me, whenever I get the guts to actually try tackling them - Lou is still very sketchy in my mind's eye, and Jesse has just always been very difficult to quite grasp. It'll be really tough

Ooh, those descriptions sound really good, i love the dark circles detail for Delano.

Ah and i like the description for Abaddon lol, and Saber's is spot on

[The Royal Mirage]

I feel like Jesse could have easily gotten Saber's description lol, I just want to hold those two and make everything okay <3

As of tonight, I've got pretty much the entire top half of the forms filled out for everyone (just gotta finish Elia's), so I'll be working from the bottom up for the forms next. Glad I kept so much of it optional at the very least lol. But there's definitely no need to go overboard like what I showed you (most of my forms aren't that ridiculous), loose details are A-OK

I feel like, if Phaed were to hear that description of Ab, he'd just become more enamored with the mystery man lol

[*~WolfSoul~*]

Indeed, the core difference being that Saber would really enjoy the hug after the initial shock, and I think jesse would be much more uncomfortable/not know what to do haha. But i definitely also want to just make everything okay for him <3

Wow, that's a lot of progress! I think I'll take some time tomorrow and try to get some more work done on mine - i gotta chip away at Lou at least a little, get a better picture of them.

Oh Phaed, I'm perpetually fascinated with the relationship between him and Ab, and also always feeling kind of sorry for Phaed, considering what a bad apple Ab is lol

[The Royal Mirage]

Jesse will be getting all the hugs from Lia and Lark, so it's okay Man I just really want to see him happy in the rp, get him a nice man who'll treat him right, get the bromance with him and Aron going, just so much stuff for Jesse <3

Yeah, I'm really surprised how far I've come with them (it doesn't feel like much when you only do little bits at a time). I'm actually enjoying finding electives as well, I just looked up the electives for my university and have been picking 2 for each character that I think they might enjoy... most of them have something to do with psychology in some way though, my own personal interests shining through there heh. But I'm actually really excited for one of Elia's electives, 'Fantasy and Fairy Tale'. Just seems like the kind of thing she'd love <3

That's part of the fun of it though, digging a sweet, innocent character like Phaed into a deep hole with his affection for said bad apple. Maybe I shouldn't get such enjoyment out of watching such a relationship forming, but it's also kinda soothing? I dunno, I need sleep

[galaxy cat.]

Nice description of Myra, that's definitely her. I'm going to be adding a New Boy soon. I've been RPing with him for a while and I know him well!
