Or maybe have a task to do. Even if your character might not talk much about personal things, they'll talk about the task at hand eg. making a plan, and there'll still be some sort of progression.
Our FC is actually preparing a theater play event in which Jet'a will be forced to play (very badly so, too) the role of villain. Hopefully when it'll be ready, some interesting stuff will happen. It's our very first event too!
Ooh! Yes, this is definitely a wonderful point to build from. Jet'a will have to interact with the rest of the cast about it; theater is all about teamwork.
Aris and I would love to be there if it's public, sounds a lot of fun!
I'll have to prod X'elo into moving things faster. Right now we're still trying to look for the best location (it needs to be a place with no monsters, but that allows mounts to be used), after that I think we'll finally open a thread to recruit some staff/cast because we're missing most of it. Right now it's just the three of us.
Also, thanks to all of you who have offered to RP with me. When I'm able to get on, I'll look forward to sending some friend requests, so I can spot you easily when in RP circumstances!
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
