DM, on getting together to talk about backstory stuff I have to have him build with me: I might need to ask a few more questions about Felix and also what drives him besides curiosity

me: is curiosity not enough??

also me: well the other major thing was supposed to be solving this mystery that I asked for your cooperation with six months ago and have never gotten any input on

#me building felix in 2022: this guy will be actively and strongly driven by curiosity so I can get him into pretty much any situation #dm: sure but what's he REALLY after. so I can figure out how to put him in a situation.#yeah I guess I wouldn't expect someone incapable of curiosity himself to recognize that as a valid driving force! my bad!!#he's NOSY and he's KIND and BRAVE. what more does he need!! haven't you ever seen a detective show! haven't you seen scooby doo!!#I mean I've finally sufficiently chewed upon the lad to figure out at least SOME of his underlying Stuff and what makes him tick #so I have a better and fuller understanding of various Whys of his behavior and a little more depth and nuance for choices #but like if you're looking for like... a lust for treasure or a revenge quest or something like that idk what to tell you dude lmao #a specific diagetic thing ABOUT felix is that he generally doesn't HAVE a more specific drive than This One Mystery; he's drifting #how about you work with the character you're given. while weaving your fictions. how about that.#man to be fair I reserve judgement on this backstory until we've at least talked about it but #I still really hate and resent that the one NPC whose backstory needs a lot of involvement from the DM got stuck with this one #I don't WANNA let you do it. I don't trust you with it :')
