[18:00] <Tangent> ...I have got to watch panzer more sometime
[18:01] <Trimangle> I've heard it's good
[18:01] <Tangent> mm
[18:02] <Tangent> s'cute
[18:03] <Tangent> Thanks for the suggestions
[18:04] <Tangent> Honestly the issue here is I'm not quiteee sure what look I'm after, precisely
[18:05] <Trimangle> Aye
[18:05] <Trimangle> That's why I asked about personality
[18:08] <Tangent> A somewhat messy mix of awkward standoffishness in general with occasional moments of stubbornness, being clingy around friends while being shit at MAKING said friends, being less a planner and more hesitant action on spur of the moment...
[18:08] <Tangent> Does that work?
[18:09] <Trimangle> hmm
[18:09] <Trimangle> Sounds like a redhead
[18:09] <Trimangle> probably an image of a determined moue, hard eyes
[18:11] <Tangent> ...heh green eyed redhead would be amusing for if she gets insecurity/jealousy later.
[18:11] <Tangent> urgh, honestly the personality really matches stone powerwise in a way but I don't *like* stone. It's...dull as rocks.
[18:12] <Trimangle> ha HA
[18:13] <Trimangle> Like I said, Darkness, maybe
[18:15] <Tangent> Hmmmm
[18:15] <Trimangle> Darkness, lightnning or fire
[18:16] <Tangent> Fire would be great fun and definitely fitting but I kinda exhausted the creative options there with Amelia sadly.
[18:16] <Tangent> And this character's too close to being a rehash as it is ;;
[18:16] <Trimangle> aye
[18:16] <Tangent> Thoughts on why Darkness and Lightning fit?
[18:17] <Trimangle> Lightning for some of the same reasons as fire. It's brash, impulsive. It takes a while to spin up but once it gets going, you're best served staying out of its way
[18:17] <Trimangle> it's difficult to control, but if you can generate and store it safely it'll change your life
[18:17] <Tangent> ...Oh god, I've just realized.
[18:17] <Trimangle> hm?
[18:17] <Tangent> >character with issues backing down and awful self-control
[18:17] <Tangent> >lightning powers
[18:17] <Tangent> ahahahaha this will end horribly
[18:17] <Tangent> :D
[18:18] <Trimangle> XD
[18:18] <Tangent> >That awkward moment when you basically use up all your juice battering at something and are running on fumes.
[18:18] <Tangent> ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP
[18:18] <Tangent> ...crap

[18:20] <Tangent> Been wanting to use this as a guca theme for a while
[18:22] <Trimangle> hm
[18:22] <Trimangle> It feels more like air or water spec
[18:23] <Trimangle> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLhOgF4m6LY here ya go
[18:23] <Tangent> Water doesn't really fit the description of the personality does it?
[18:23] <Trimangle> Wild, unbridled
[18:23] <Trimangle> Nah, I'm saying that track felt like air/water
[18:23] <Tangent> Cool, but hmm maybe concept drift a bit.
[18:23] <Trimangle> this track is lightning/fire
[18:24] <Tangent> I may need to do a bit of thinking about personality, thanks for the help brainstorming
[18:24] <Trimangle> No problem, man
[18:24] <Trimangle> I realize my way's a little unconventional, but it's worked for me
[18:24] <Tangent> Oh?
[18:25] <Trimangle> Yeah. It's how I've built characters in the past, focusing on the core of their personality and then letting everything flow from that
[18:28] <Tangent> "I became a magical girl because it didn't matter if I did. I wasn't much good at anything or to anyone at all, and didn't know what else to do with myself. But if I did this, it'd actually mean something. Change something." <-maybe for a core issue?
[18:29] <Trimangle> Ooh, that's good
[18:29] <Trimangle> she's got something to prove
[18:29] <Tangent> "I'd never followed my own path. I'd always listened to someone else." <-Lightning fitting, maybe? Something something lightning hits between points?
[18:29] <Trimangle> Mmm
[18:29] <Trimangle> Lightning tears open its own path
[18:30] <Trimangle> Water follows the path of least resistance and only very slowly carves its own
[18:30] <Tangent> So it's a question of if she reinvents herself or follows old habits?
[18:31] <Trimangle> Not sure
[18:31] <Trimangle> but I like that you're setting her up with something to prove, a trail she has to blaze
[18:31] <Trimangle> that sounds like something passionate and active
[18:31] <Trimangle> fire, air, lightning
[18:32] <Trimangle> You could flip the script and say that her powers come from her old personality and give her something more passive: water, time, gravity
[18:32] <Trimangle> not sure where metal would fit
[18:40] <Tangent> Metal's...kinda a peanut butter spec
[18:41] <Tangent> works for anyone really
[18:41] <Trimangle> Ahh
[18:41] <Trimangle> metal is shaped by its environment and then left in its form, so it might be considered passive
[18:41] <Tangent> Water sounds really fitting, but...it's a popular spec and at the same time the "digging in angle"...
[18:41] <Trimangle> but the act of shaping is very active
[18:42] <Tangent> Metal's more of a gadgeteer spec tbh
[18:42] <Tangent> than metalbender
[18:42] <Trimangle> water is inexorable, though; given time, it will forge its own way
[18:42] <Tangent> Hmm, patience though...
[18:55] <Tangent> random idea: "I don't care what she thinks about me." she snapped angrily. "It doesn't matter."
[18:55] <Tangent> :D
