Understandable. Through with reading the world plot idea so far, now to peruse the individual topics to see what all has been done so far, then I shall set about tinkering with a character idea.

Very nice. I have done my best to try and keep things as simple as possible as per the lovely K.I.S.S. principle.

Of course, I might implement more if needed over time or change stuff, but so far it is good to see how the basics work.

[TaleTale]

If you want to have our characters run into each other eventually, Gardsorm, maybe your guy lost something and mine helps get it back. Or my guy took it from someone who'd stolen it from your character.

[JennyDK]

I am considering making myself another character currently.

[TaleTale]

Wanna have them interact with my guy, Jenny?

[JennyDK]

We can do that, sure.

I just need to think of an overall concept, but I do have some ideas brewing. I usually decide from my art

[TaleTale]

Awesome! Sounds fun. I look forward to it.

[JennyDK]

I am thinking of a magic user, honestly.

[Gardsorm]

Yeah, you two can do the interaction routine for the time being, I still gotta create something first. :3 

I might be a tad slow with getting something together (let alone posting for technical reasons), and once I do, I'll figure out how I want to start off in the town. However, I do appreciate the friendliness in trying to get me into the action of the atory. ^^

[JennyDK]

I am more than happy to start off something with you once you create something - either with a character or an NPC.

[Gardsorm]

Appreciated. I'll see how whatever simple or silly idea in the ol' noggin manages to look once I get it out of there and onto a post. 

[JennyDK]

I can also offer ideas or inspiration, of course

In any case - good luck and have fun with coming up with something!

[JennyDK]

@TaleTale I made someone new. I hope you like the idea.

[Gardsorm]

Good gods, you come up with characters fast. o.o; Kinda envious. 

Ooh, a gobby! The Gods' gift to fantasykind for all things insane. :3 

[TaleTale]

A gobbo with an explosive personality!

Where does she get to use her explosives?

I wonder how the characters could help each other. Having her do some firework performance at night could be nice, though. If my character gets to have a lakeside home, maybe she's testing them out near it and they get to watch the water reflect all the nice bright explosions.

I have had the idea of a gobbo sapper in my mind for quite some time. Honestly, I have tons of characters I have been wanting to play as, but of course there is only so much "space" to fulfill those roles over time. So I decided to do one of those I have yet to do at all.

I am not sure where and how she usually gets to use them or even how often. I just wanted to make a sapper xD

Want her to be frustrated about her hands being a bit burned and bandaged at the moment? My character wouldn't mind giving her a hand.

She could be drinking hard at the tavern my guy's at. Maybe over hears him asking for work and tells him to work for her and be her hands for a few days.

Yeah, that could work, I think. Good idea!

[TaleTale]

Awesome. Thank you!

[JennyDK]

Though, he may have to deal with being yelled a bit for doing things wrong xD

[TaleTale]

If she's not actually getting super angry, he might fuck up on purpose a bit to tease her, and fix it at the last moment and grin and berate her for having so little faith in him. But he'd not try wasting her ingredients or ruining anything she cares about.

Maybe her instructions are awful at times too. So there's almost no way he could even get it right.

Truer words were never spoken before this moment. Bless the shortstacks and their chaotic energy.

I noticed we didn't have very many elf like characters, so I might do one, except not in the traditional way... Not quite sure yet.

I am sure we can find a proper balance with some work and communicating anything that may need to be worked with a bit differently.

Did you check out the queen then? She is listed under NPCs ^^

Not in the traditional way? Like....how?

Think I missed the NPC thread, let me go take a look...

Ah, more personality wise! A lot of the time Elves are normally portrayed as... I guess haughty, higher-than-thou, stuffy, ect. Some are usually more sympathetic, and in other circles elves exist for lewding.

I guess I kind of just wanted to make a more outgoing, overeager energetic type who wants to be a hero, but tends to be held back by his easygoing, carefree, and sometimes mischievous ways, if that works. ^^;

I am always a fan of not making "stereotypes" - at least exclusively. So I am definitely happy to see variety within any sort of character. I personally dislike how a lot of people have an idea that the general depiction of and other assumptions of various races and cultures need to be.

For instance, I have never liked how races arbitrarily live longer. Hence why I made everyone have the same lifespan.

[Gardsorm]

The 'lives longer' thing bugs you too, huh? I've seen people on other sites kind of go crazy with it. Some dragons living well over twenty thousand years, meanwhile I've got some crass wolf guy with an axe who basically hit thirty and already hates the people he has to deal with.

I can never understand how things live thousands of years and not wind up being jaded or acting like crotchety old people.
