Roleplaying 101: A crash course on Characters
|
Edited by Melemmarie on 6/29/11 11:39 AM (PDT)
I enjoyed this. I did indeed read the whole thing, and I will be reporting this for sticky. It deserves it, and the little bits of humour thrown in made the read just that much easier.
And on another note, I will be using this to help flesh out the character for my draenei priestess, and possibly her sister as well, if I can get my IRL sister to read this thread. (I was supposed to be out buying groceries an hour ago! Ahk!) EDIT: I would also like to state that I usually start broad, like suggested, but it isn't until I actually start roleplaying that the details start forming. Like with my troll rogue, back when she was a troll rogue, she started as a prisoner. From there, I determined that she was an exiled Bloodscalp, and was caught stealing supplies from Grom'Gol Base camp to feed herself. Tada, details. |

I really enjoyed reading this, as it's pretty obvious you appreciate one of the things I love about WoW the most: societies and cultures, and how characters are influenced by it. You really know what gives more life to a character, and you're able to put it into words and not wordvomit! For that, I thank you.
Reported for a sticky. Thank you for taking the time to write this, I appreciate it and I hope many, many, many people take the time to read it. It's substantial and has comedic flair, too! |

I am uber guilty on using pop culture refrences, look at cheel for lawds sake hes named after the main protaginist from portal and his bloody former wifeys name was caroline.
well thats the only pop thing about him *besides being very like a creaper from minecraft* and well I allwayse allwayse ALLWAYSE do the same damn thing for my chariters, they are defunct or defective in some horible way. Osh? hes a gad danged living abombination for peet sake. Cheel? broken pyro sociopath thadle make horatio laane throw away his glasses and say 'da hell with dis bro.' Nail? oh well hes normal.. EXEPT HES A QUADRAPLEGIC WITH MECHANICAL PROSTETICS AUGAH. Trevora? anger issues, slight repetitive tendencys, crystals made his hair fall out and obliterate his horns and now these orphan tears got me seein things... wait. Scott? actualy semi normal too also a pop refrence to TF2, he stays out of worgen form as much as posible and knocks on any one who is a doggy just because.. well hes a !%#*. Kreeku? (aka bossan) weeabu burn victom that prefers to look like a night elf in shadowform and bashes his own kind because.. well hes a damn weeabu, no one loves a weeabu. :| what the hell is the matter with me? jeeze I attract the weirdest crap into my tiny noggin. |

Inspiring Post. Sticky Please!

Except no one has grown up in Darnassus unless they're very very young, and to that point, not grown up. ;) Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. Great guide otherwise! |

Love love love this thread. Going to post a link on the guild website so some of our newer rpers can get a good feel for character creation, and am definitely going to probably use this as a good basis for fleshing out some of my new characters! I follow a similar process to what was outlined here, but perhaps a bit more chaotic.
Also, reporting for sticky! Definitely deserves it! |
