Well Minerva has been training so extensivly she dident realy have time to develop a roleplay. Well what I'm asking is does anybody have any good sugestion's for Minerva? I currently have the roleplay of defend absolutly everybody even enemies hate Lyreth and dont kill sentient beings and well thats great and all but gets kindof boring sooo any sugestions and if its a drastic change any idea on how to change my current one?

My suggestion is don't try to figure it all out now. When I started Everiine, I really didn't know what to do, especially with RP. I played him like I was him, and that worked for a little while. Somewhere along the line he grew into his own little person, and was much harder than I. Just compare him to me on the forums and you'll notice a definite difference . RP isn't about setting down a list of rigid rules you must conform to, it's about style and a few loose guidelines.

Just play and go with the flow in developing yourself.

It depends how dramatic you want your role to be. The more intricate and loud you want the story to be, the more planning it takes to pull it off well. If you're happy to play a fairly normal character then it's easy enough to wing it.

I want to be unique heh.

What's the somewhat cynical quote? "You're unique, just like everyone else."
Don't worry too much, just enjoy the game and the immersion. Trying to figure out everything and being stereotypically "unique" actually limits how you can play and what you can do when opportunities come up ... ultimately, less enjoyable than just having a simple character and playing for the fun of it, good fun and bad fun.

I really think you should find such things yourself You keep asking for help on every little thing IC and OOC - you'll never learn that way, and you'll never make up unique things for yourself that way Games like this are all about imagination and what you can create from your own ideas....

Very good point. It's something I've had trouble with - asking for help too often. Just go for trial and error, I promise you learn much faster and it's more enjoyable when you get to that stage where you feel comfortable in the game.

The 'or' makes this appear a question, but without any form of punctuation or grammar, I can't tell.
Minerva2006-08-18 04:45:09
I miss 1 questionmark and get smacked for it. It was a question.
Gelo2006-08-18 04:50:53
I was thinking of making this character who cant talk. I'll use dramatics and emotes. I know it'll be hard and challenging considering I wouldn't be able to talk over channels and discuss battle tactics, but I know it'll be fun playing him.
EDIT: Hrm... Now everyone will know who my alt is..

They're considered verbal communcation by just about everyone in the game...

And even if it is in our heads, we hear it just as if someone were speaking to us. That's why people like me let people know when they are talking like fools over the aethers, not using punctuation or capitalizing the word "I" (it's NOT HARD PEOPLE!).
Minerva2006-08-18 05:54:52
By using there brain because I dont mutter anything when I use aethers

Their. And you missed a period at the end of that.
Sorry, I'm tired and cranky.
