As someone who aspires to write later in his life, I find it interesting to hear other people's train of thought in relation to characters. With that in mind, I came up with this thread. I figured it might be interesting to hear from other people on the board about how they came up with their character(s), as it might aid in our growth as rpers to hear about another thought process.Â
I'll start us off. W'Dekan started under my default character name "Nox" in the last phase of the beta. I attached "Ascalon"(The name of St. George's spear) as his surname because I figured it was fitting for a lancer. At that time, I didn't really have rp in mind because I figured "Hey, this is beta, I shouldn't become attached to him." Well, safe to say that thought didn't last long. I started to subconsciously develop this character in my head, adding personality and soul to the creation as I was playing. Slowly but surely, his personality developed. I find that my character's personalities always develop as a facet of who I am. W'Dekan came to embody the "new" me. I've had characters develop into embodiments of my anger issues and (to keep the list short) a few other parts of my psychological make-up. I designed W'Dekan's physical appearance the way I did because of, mainly, personal taste so there's not much to go on there.
