Having something happen or forcing that character into a situation that takes them out of their comfort zone is one way of doing it. It helps to inject your character here and there, Gharen is so withdrawn that walk up RP is something he wouldn't do. So I found an LS that coincides with his current motivation. Two fights lost, one more or less on purpose Siobhain is angry at him, it's been a good week and he's well on his way to becoming a productive member of the RP community. =)(09-20-2013, 06:57 PM)Kaoru Wrote: Originally, yes. That was my issue, he was so painfully shy that he didn't talk to anyone. But once he hung out with Aysun a bit more, that's lightened up a bit, but he still sort of behaves awkwardly, depending on who he's talking to. In the RP pearl I'm part of, he's varied from being calm and open, to sort of jittery (though this is attributed to some things besides "just being awkward").
BUT YES. I've tried working myself (at a reasonable/logical pace for the character) up to the point where he's a little more manageable on the social front.
Does he have something he's aiming to do or something he's looking for that could help you out with starting something? ** The person that posted right before me asked the same thing but better.
I personally worry that I might be feeling too selfish so I go to the extreme opposite. Siobhain is supposed to be a proficient fighter-- the only two fights I've had, I lost both. They were free form so there wasn't rolling, I chose to lose them and da's no bueno if it keeps happening just because OOCly I have issues with making others feel like I'm too OP. As said in the 'weakness' thread, when you have too many, it's just as character stumping as having too many strengths.
So, if you can find a little goal like love or a 'bromance' style friendship of sorts, then that might help too.
That said, Sio's Wiki is awesome, up there with some of my favorites from our virtueverse wiki on CoH.
