Ruran

Here are a few to get you started on Balmung: General RP connections server: Balmung RP Network (BRPN). Finding RP neighbors, if you have housing: The Neighborhood. EU/active during EU hours: EU Discord. Xaela-specific: Game of Dawn Thrones. There are plenty others, I'm sure!

Ah dang, been a few months. Went through Inktober, as well as did a giveaway in November! Here are the highlights, though everything (including all 31 days of Inktober -wheeze-) can be found on the art tag on my tumblr. With all that madness out of the way, I'm aiming to open commissions in January!

I have a few quiet/neutral characters myself, and it all comes down to motivation. What spurs them forward? What drives them to action? What do they need? Everyone needs something, whether it's supplies or healing or work—or more complex, like the need to protect, redeem, hide, or feel fulfilled. It's by pinpointing their motivations, and the reason behind them, that will make connecting with others a whole lot easier. A quiet and neutral/monotone character that immediately comes to mind is Ginko from the manga/anime series Mushishi. He's largely neutral to what is taking place, and instead he focuses on remedying the situation according to necessity. The episodes are slow and thoughtful, and it's the bizarre situations around him that reveal more about Ginko, not dialogue. Another character is Max from Mad Max. He barely says anything, and he's very neutral to the world as a whole. He's driven by survival, only speaking when he needs something, or when he's actively trying to connect. Max is a genius protagonist in that by simply existing, he allows the other characters around him to shine. Maybe trying to find a way for your character to support others' goals, is an idea. There's a great guide about 'Loner'/quiet characters here: http://nerobombs.tumblr.com/post/157461161197/writing-loners And this one: http://northhelps.tumblr.com/post/59977746247/every-trait-has-its-underlying-reasons-in-this Hope that helps!

I've found myself strangely unmotivated to take screenshots lately. Part of me wants to set out and spend an hour or two to get some fancy shots of Ruran and alts (especially with all the gpose upgrades), but then I get distracted by something else, and then the evening is over. But I have managed to take/edit a few! Under the Spoiler because apparently I like vertical screenshots now.

Thank you very much! Your art is lovely as well. I followed you back! More stuff! One of my alts, Vienne Livaudais. And some doodles of my other characters. ... I thought I did more than this recently. -squints- I know I've got more in the works! Just a lazy month I suppose.

Oh dang been a while, here's a little bump, hello again. Got rid of listing alts altogether because what is an alt I mean really. Now just links to my Roster! General housecleaning on Linkshells and RP Styles.

N-nailed it.

Hng, Narah. ;_; <3 More stuff! A couple half-masked Rurans. And Madoc, my xaela alt. Did another follower giveaway on my main tumblr, gave out some portraits! Still have one more to make, but here are the first three. The art train don't stop

Hhhhh thank you, Aysun! C: No commissions lately, but some sketches to tide me over: And a Wind-up Ruran!

The art, it continues. A surprise gift for Phi Atsuho/Seya Braisaux! And a commission for Drazi and Koneko! A+ lizards.

Another commission slot down, a two-parter for Kaya Chalahko!: A gift for Arshtat Ejinn (Hithren) for being awesome: And a little thing for myself, Ruran done in the style/theme of Persona 5, a GOOD GAME AH:

I turned Ruran into a Lalafell for April Fools and it was the best decision I've ever made. Little Ruran Vas and the Adventures of Qarn! (Ellere Valahan went mini as well!) And some gifs, they kill me

The commission train continues. This time for Chrys Lionwright and Nicholas Holt! And a little sketch for myself, my new alt, Vienne Livaudais!

No. No, you cannot convince me to participate in this trickery, this silly game to make fools of us— *sees Meishali's art as prize* ... *slams tiny fists down* KUPOPO KUPO.

Hhhhngh thank you Narah! <3 Another commission down, this time for Sun'ra Zhawn!
