Alivi: Heya!
[4:41pm] Alivi: Let me know
[4:41pm] Alivi: when you are back and stuff
[4:42pm] PetraCore: Alright.
[4:42pm] PetraCore: Ummm...
[4:42pm] PetraCore: Do you think I'm doing a good job being friendly and civil but not, like, pushy with Flowers?
[4:43pm] Alivi: yea as far as I am concerned both you are ok.
[4:43pm] Alivi: I want to talk to you bout your character
[4:43pm] PetraCore: Okay.
[4:43pm] PetraCore: Talk away.
[4:43pm] Alivi: they do look similar to Elif on the basic of basic terms
[4:43pm] PetraCore: Elif?
[4:43pm] Alivi: What I want you to do is develop her furthur.
[4:43pm] PetraCore: I never looked at the other character.
[4:43pm] PetraCore: Well, yes.
[4:43pm] PetraCore: I plan to do then when I play her.
[4:43pm] PetraCore: :P
[4:43pm] Alivi: Another Mantanince Tomboy who likes to hit things with wrenches
[4:43pm] Alivi: Well even so.
[4:44pm] PetraCore: Ehhhh.
[4:44pm] Alivi: Developing a bit before hand is just as important.
[4:44pm] PetraCore: I'm not sure if Brigit is a tomboy.
[4:44pm] PetraCore: xD
[4:44pm] Alivi: still.
[4:44pm] PetraCore: She just looks like one in that pic because she's dressed for work.
[4:44pm] Alivi: Characterize, develop.
[4:44pm] PetraCore: Yes.
[4:44pm] PetraCore: I've got her character in my head.
[4:44pm] PetraCore: Don't worry, Alivi.
[4:45pm] Alivi: ok
[4:45pm] PetraCore: It's just, we're supposed to keep things sort of brief on the page.
[4:45pm] PetraCore: At least at first.
[4:45pm] Alivi: Erikos page was very detialed.
[4:45pm] PetraCore: Yeah, but...
[4:45pm] Alivi: Im not saying you have to be like that
[4:45pm] PetraCore: You're not supposed to do an elaborate backstory or anything.
[4:45pm] Alivi: but like for example
[4:45pm] PetraCore: That's what the guide says now.
[4:48pm] Alivi: I see...
[4:53pm] Alivi: "When it comes to making a character background, the best thing you can do is keep it short. Nobody wants to read a novella on the things your freshly conceived character has done prior to arriving at Area-354, and besides, the focus of the RP is on what happens to your character while they're there. "
[4:54pm] Alivi: You don't have to have a background super detailness
[4:55pm] Alivi: but just characterize her a bit is all.
[4:55pm] PetraCore: I have a background in mind.
[4:55pm] PetraCore: I just didn't put all the characteristics in there.
[4:55pm] PetraCore: I hinted at some.
[4:55pm] PetraCore: Like... she did roller derby for a year, and she plays poker.
[4:56pm] Alivi: ok.
[4:56pm] PetraCore: Fanny Kaplan, as well as being a russian assassin, is a poker nickname for the queen of spades.
[4:56pm] Alivi: alright.
[4:56pm] PetraCore: And, like...
[4:57pm] PetraCore: For stuff I didn't really hint at, I think, she doesn't have much of a family to leave behind.
[4:57pm] Alivi: alright.
[4:57pm] PetraCore: So she's pretty self-sufficient, but, that doesn't mean she's not social.
[4:57pm] PetraCore: Um... I think I'll definitely play down the tomboy aspect now.
[4:58pm] PetraCore: Because I don't want to horn in on another character's territory.
[4:58pm] PetraCore: She can be tough and a good mechanic without being a total tomboy.
[4:58pm] Alivi: yea.
[4:58pm] PetraCore: So I'll go that route.
[4:58pm] Alivi: ok.
[4:58pm] Alivi: im just sayn
[4:58pm] PetraCore: I /do/ appreciate the head's up/.
[4:58pm] PetraCore: Lemme look at the other character's page.
[4:58pm] • PetraCore hug
[4:58pm] Alivi: ok
[4:59pm] PetraCore: Yeah.
[4:59pm] PetraCore: I'm trying to, look at the history I decided on, and see what characteristics would flow from that.
