Getting the Band[wagon] back together. Opinions of Petaldancer as a character

holy shit your signature is way too big

 

I swear to fucking god, mark my words, by the time the week is out we will have one of these threads for every single played character on this server and their mothers.

 

cyborg uscm floran outcast who rejects tribal upbringing

 

Yet another peaceful floran™ that often sounds like a human with a funny accent instead. I may say this because I never got to explore Petal as a character or whatnot, but she really does feel like a very dry and boring character. I would suggest you to spice up that character somehow, but I cannot say exactly HOW. I never really roleplayed a floran for long, you see. But if she did follow some sort of tribal rules or traditions (don't have to be just HURRKILL). I know that there is not much lore for florans, but you can always say that those were traditions exclusive to your former tribe only. For short - Just try to make Petal seem less like a human and more like an alien race.

[5/08/2014 9:53:45 AM] Yazen: people compensate for their character's lack of personality by stuffing as many immediately obvious snowflakey traits as they can, because they don't have the creativity to take something generic and make it unique instead

 

I just hope you will show more than just "FLORANS ARE SAVANGE HERE IS THEIR POINT". Heck, you can even read about all those tribal cultures and their traditions. Like that african stuff.

 

Yeah, but none of them will really end up being taken seriously by then. LOL.

Edit: As for actual input, there's not much I can really say. Haven't had a great deal of interaction with your character. At least... not for a few months now.

 

Theyre very serious. Duh.

My only real input here is to make sure Petal is more than just her oddities. I havent rpd with her in ages though, but the innocent/naive bit seemed a little overdone at times and kinda nixed over moments that could have revealed more personality or depth.

 

I've only roleplayed with her once, and she seemed like a well developed character with a interesting backstory. The only problem I really had was she as somewhat crippled so /I/ was at a bit of a loss as what fun rp things we could do other then standard bar rp, but to be honest that more me not being creative enough then actual flaws with your character. Because I ean its actually good and respectable that you have all those injuries because it shows your willing to allow your character to get hurt and face the consequences of her actions. Overall, from my short experience rp with her, she seemed like a well made character.
