    Figured I'd make one for my 2nd oldest character as well since Cateth hasn't seen enough sunlight to form many opinions.

    Drige hasn't been seen by absolutely everyone, but for those who have, what are your thoughts, or questions if you have them.

    A character that was made to be lolsorandumbxdd and basically a joke. Alas, not a good joke aswell. First when I seen this character, I just thought it was somebody mucking about OOC. I would love to say more about this character, but there is literally nothing else to be said.

    I hate characters like this with a passion. Joke characters existing just because do little besides pull me out of the roleplay around me. Tends to be why I don't respond to them at all. Saw quite a few of these back on TF.

    His logs explain his loss of his sanity, search for "moments of clarity" need to update them at some point

    Fair enough opinion. I've never gotten to delve into Drige's sane side because he's never been able to "recieve help", so to speak. Most people simply treat him as the "harmless neighborhood loony"

    Reason for existing is assumption and it seems like you've been burned on characters who purpose really was just that. But I really should make a point to delve deeper, and perhaps have him pushed back to sanity to deal with his issues.

    By all means use this as a place to explain the greater purpose, and reasoning behind Dirge as a character.

    Well I have a few plans to reveal his greater backstory, [what was he doing on that planet? Why did nobody respond to his distress calls? etc.] but it will either come gradually through his own logs as he comes to terms with himself and stop running from himself by embracing insanity or if someone ties him down, forces his medication down his throat, and gets him a shrink.
    [why would a character have medication for dementia and such on hand? Once again, spoilers into what goes on the the recesses of his mind]

    Edit: Also, why does everyone read DIrge instead of DRige.

    So the Awe method of explanation. Also, apologies, Drige. Not sure why I always saw Dirge.

    Awe method? Not sure exactly what you're referring to.
    EDIT: Guess i'm not getting an explanation...))

    And no worries, the words look so similar it's easy to mistake, and the fact that your mind attempts to see the real word over the name.
