He's depressed, angry and as was pointed out in his rp once by said player I am quoting (lol) he's a spoiled brat who tantrums at the drop of a hat. Though he wears a weak mask of control and calm. I love this kind of character....conflicted and trying hard to mask who s/he really is. Why shows like Dexter and Breaking Bad appeal to me. When I rp I wonder when Ruru's inner ugliness will be seen by others. Some have seen glimpses, and others have called him on it a couple of times. Makes playing him fun.
I love ugly. Â There is a place for beauty, but I have a thing for gross. Â Give me the rough and tumble, give me the walleye, give me the imperfect and I will be watching everything you do. Â It takes a special kind of fortitude to play the truly ugly (Zhi doesn't count, she's like ugly-lite or diet ugly), and I have nothing for respect for those who pull it off. Â There was this guy who once made this character who was a horrible, grotesque, pus-oozy sort of dude. Â Sores, a cripple, disfigured: dude had a super rough life, and it showed. Â And I was in love. Â End of story.
(as a side note, perfectly plain characters who are not hiding beauty behind a pair of glasses or waiting for a makeover also earn love. Â I think those characters are, in some ways, hardest to portray -- so seeing them done well makes me giddy)
