#honestly rp is kinda like socializing in that regard. sometimes you have a really good session and just know

[valtsv]

i don't miss dnd itself that much but i do miss my player character in the context of the campaign i was in 😔 like i miss the parts of it that i couldn't get back even if i started playing again and used the same character with the same backstory in another scenario. but i guess that's always how it is with rp characters.

17 "What was your first muse?"

I guess other than warrior cats and one other oc that werent necessarily mused, it'd be Dipper Pines (regular and most of his aus). I ended up really deep in the Gravity Falls Amino and I ended up in many of the rps defaulting to him for other friends and rpers til I became known for it to an extent gjfjdk. I did a couple other GF charcaters but mainly him in my friend groups.

19 "Do you have ship bias?"

I'll be honest I have no clue what this means. :v If its about writing a ship with someone and their muse, it mostly depends on chemestty and if I know the mun at least a little and if its fun to write. (Ex, I haven't written any real Monix even tho its cute despite having Fox talk to a few Monos here and discord, but have written thinlady with @/gecsha and already otp'd it. I also liked Sevix but wanted SK to want nothing to do with Six in even a friendly regard, but me and @/raincoatnightmare became friends when we were writing and it was funny and cute plus added further character into SK that I like (also now lordlady supremacy ty ty). Or in another fandom, the only character I've written with a canon relationship (or semi-canon? ig its vague?) was Hero from Omori and even then it seems weird to jump into a ship with someone I havent spoken to so it would probably be more prominent with an rper I've talked to before even if its still there with strangers)

25 "Do you play smut? Do you play it only with characters you’re shipping with, or are you open for “one night stands”?"

27 "Are you interested into poly relationships for your muse?"

Tbh Ive (embarrassedly and probably poorly) written it with one other person before in a certain circumstance I don't wanna get into here that ended not-so-well but I'm too nervous to write that kinda thing with others unless we were really comfortable writing that in private. It would always have to be shipping and he's only really shipped with one muse and you already admitted to asking this so I hope youre happy embarrassing me now hfksfkjfkd (also off like you said only adults like SL)

It never starts that way and yet so often ends up like that fhsksl. For SL he's already in a cute poly ship in a verse so I'll say yes to that. Lady Fox hasn't really been written into anything at all yet and I haven't even considered any ship even my beloved thinlady for her so we'll see gjjdls. For puppy ships with the kids again idk

29 "What are your thoughts on your muses' canon?"

Sweats in divergent characters Well Six is really cool and honestly a fun character to watch go through things, I really like her and her clever survival skills even if she's not the most kind in some situations cough cough. I could write a whole essay on why I love her little differences between the other characters in idle animations, cutscene reactions, and her ai actions in LN2. And seeing her in both comic series + those LN2 cutscenes/ai, I like how despite it all its obvious just still just a kid who also enjoys time with others.

RK is honestly my favorite of the protags, little dude is hard (to the) core. I still hate the canon ending 💔 /hj. His specific idle animations we get to see are also interesting in the fact thet theyre a little different from Six's (the only 2 kids at the time). Seeing his interactions with the Nomes (Hideaway), Six (cancelled comic), and reaction to the Flashlight Girl (Depths), it's also neat to see his little personality shine through. I got the feeling he was almost hesitant to escape but went through anyway, and saw it to the end (even if it was his own end) and with all the stepping on coal and glass, hitting every obstacle in the way and still standing up straight, and being resourceful of those around him, and I can respect him. Also he's the only one who's had a chapter I would be too scared to go through if I had the LN mindset so good on him 💔.

36. "Do you feel similar to your muse in any way?"

With Fox I really feel that casual but anxious at any time feeling, and already projected a lot of my anxieties about memory loss onto her. I also just like foxes. (Ive only spent money on game cosmetics 3 times and one was the LN1 fox mask, another was yesterday $10 on an almost useless fox plush on Sky: CotL fhdjsk but hey whats important is invisible to the eyes).

With SK I can feel the "listens to an echo chamber for emotions" sometimes, and holding onto things stubbornly. It's quite easy to write him as I don't like admitting certain things either and deny deny deny, but that makes SL a little harder to make him romance fbdksk.

With SL I do really feel that overprotectiveness and envy in some things, he might be waaay exaggerated ofc but it's there. Im also a big self blamer.

37 "Do you feel different from your muse in any way?"

With Fox I'm much more social, I do like hugs and physical touchs and talking even oversharing cough just look at this whole post whereas she'd very reserved and quiet about her feelings 99% of the time.

With SK I can't really find it in me to hold a grudge that well. I can think back and get annoyed that some teacher or other kid or family member did some bad thing to me in the past, or say "so-and-so hurt me yesterday", but I can't hold it as just hate for long and see it differently. There's very few people I'm having trouble forgiving and forgetting, and they'll never be allowed near my family if I can help it.

With SL I can't say I'm in a good position if I'm in charge. I can be a good right hand or lower ranking moniter/manager, but being the head is too much pressure and depressing. He seems to be doing just fine both on his own and with his wife and/or husband.

38 "What's the best inspiration for your muse?"

Mostly jokes and random ideas with my friends! Some of the best plots I've had personally were turning a romance/ship joke into angst for pain, or angst into romance as hurt/comfort. Ofc music also helps but this is the best!

39 "What's a song that reminds you of your muse?"

I have a whole playlist so let me think of some that only or mostly involve that character and their feelings.

Fox/Six- Again

SK- Cradles

SL- KING

Tagged by: @crossxskulled Tagging: Steal it, nerds, I’m too shy for this.

Name: Kris. Nickname: Kris, my latest usernames are too new to be nickname tier. Age: 24. Faceclaim: Haven’t made icons or ever used her before as one, but Makise Kurisu from Steins;Gate. Pronouns: She/Her.  Height: 5′1″. Birthday: April 27th.  Aesthetic: Cities and highways at night, neon lights, black and gold, anything atmospheric. Last song you listened to: Boop. I just got up so that’s a Past Kris pick. Favorite muse(s) you’ve written: Sae’s makin’ it up the list. Bayonetta, Vriska.

What inspired you to take on your current muse (that you are posting this on): Playing through the game I loved Makoto a bunch, didn’t actually like Sae that much- I found her to be kinda a bitch honestly, wish I had a better word for it. Obviously you only get so much narrative for her in the first part of the game, clearly I came around by the end of it. I wanted to be able to explore the good parts of the sisters’ relationship that we didn’t get to see in-game, but even before scoping out Tumblr for RP I had a feeling there was going to be a disparity between people playing Makoto and people playing Sae, since Sae falls into that side-character territory. So I was like okay, if I want to see those good family feelings be actualized, I’ve got to play on the other side of things. Aaalso I absolutely love Shadow Sae, that may or may not have been a deciding factor. 

What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to writing: The back and forth aspect that comes along with roleplay! Writing solo things is nice, I get the urge to do it sometimes if a scene comes to mind, but RP is where my writing really gets kicked into high gear. The element of surprise, knowing that with the addition of another person a scene will never play out exactly as you pictured, bouncing off one another to create something entirely new, I love it. Nothing gets me raring to write more than being presented with something unexpected and having my muse chomping at the bit with some kind of action or retort. 

Favorite types of threads: Action/mystery/intrigue type threads. I have a bit of a storyteller streak and I enjoy stringing people along into twists and turns for their sake more than mine. Off of Tumblr with OC’s or something I’ve been prone to write almost ‘choose your own adventure’ style threads with friends, just ‘cause I like to give people scenarios that are fun to write through. 

Biggest struggle in regards to your current muse: The main one I notice is just a lack of concrete information. While major in the game’s plot, Sae is absolutely a minor character, which means actual canon information about her is hard to come by. There’s enough present to get a good feel for her characterization of course, but I like to know all the little seemingly useless details that you get as a character becomes more prevalent in their source material. Like at least with the other, datable confidants, you can give them gifts and slowly get a feel for what they like/dislike, love/hate. It’s little tidbits like that which I wish I was privy to.  Lack of information aside, I struggle with myself being a pretty humorous and social person. I like making people laugh and telling shitty puns and so on. Sae herself is pretty straight-laced though, so it’s hard for me to inject as much humor or lightheartedness into things as I’d like to.

🕸 ⭐️ 💡 🦋 🐲 🎨 📌 💖 🖤 ♨️ ✒️ 💭 🎵 🎇 🌻 🌩 🔑 💎 🏆 🎬

{ Well then. o.o So this will be under a line for sheer length. All obviously ooc. Thanks…for reading if you do? @gwenya }

🕸 1. Who’s the oldest character of yours that you still use? Technically, it would be my Forsaken character @gravekeeper-anna​. I’ve had her for about a decade, and she started off as human, roleplayed through her fall to Undeath. She shares that trophy with Safrona here herself, as both are interconnected in a way. I think of Anna as an original feature movie, and Safrona as the remake of it and taken in a new direction or…maybe the sequel. Something like that.

⭐️ 2. Who’s the oldest character of yours, defunct or not? This is a hard one! Most of the older characters I’ve had I’ve killed off in some fashion as I can’t seem to keep up on alts very well. I believe one of the oldest characters in theory that I have is a Kaldorei rogue by the name of Serynith, which I am thinking about remaking as a Demon Huntress. She was a bit of a scamp, a trickster, a flirty little sneakthief with a good heart. I am not sure how becoming a Demon Huntress would change her, so it’s something I’m still ultimately mulling over. As I said–I’m pretty bad with keeping up on alts.

💡 3. Has creating a character ever made you realize something about yourself? Oh, it’s made me realize plenty about myself. One of the biggest things that creating a character has made me realize is that I can’t carry on with a character if I get no interaction with them. The characters I play are reactive to the people they meet, influenced by them as well as the environment and life they live, and they help to carve out their story. I could write on my own about a character, create a novel and my own world around them…but honestly that would get very boring for me, if not entirely frustrating. It’s the interaction with other writers that I enjoy about creating characters, and why Roleplaying is the theme I enjoy most to write in and learn from.

🦋 4. Any minor characters that have either taken over or branched off into their own stories? I used to have a few that acted as sort of NPC’s to my main character and an Rp partner I had for a while. The one that has probably outlasted the rest is Lady Ravona, who is Safrona’s adopted mother and can be found here on Tumblr @bloodbrew​. I don’t often play her so much these days, as again she gets little interaction and I haven’t really been that interested in writing for except as the occasional voice that pesters Saf when she visits the Baron’s manor in the Ghostlands. But she’s vain, a tempting songstress, easily riled, and probably still a bit crazy, and the Baron keeps her occupied when she gets out of line. Overall, she wants to be a Grandmother and see little baby Bloodbrews carry on a (literally) dead line, but Safrona is less than willing to provide.

🐲 5. Do you prefer to make human, animal, monster, or _____ characters? Why? I definitely try to stick with human-esque characters, though I do enjoy the interaction between a character and their pets, or when a familiar might become a focus and I have to challenge myself to write for them. Coal, @gravekeeper-anna​‘s familiar actually has quite the little backstory behind him, including being one of the few that has known the Gravekeep in the past and experienced her changes. Overall I prefer humanoid characters because in essence they can embody the animalistic, or the monstrous within their eccentricities.

🎨 6. When creating a character, do you come up with the visual concept or the written concept first? I think it’s sort of a balance between, a small starter concept and then a look I have in mind, and then I have a character. I don’t start really sketching characters until I’ve started Rping with them – that’s when they really give me a personality to work with.

📌 7. Do you have characters that you know you’ll never use, but can’t bear to get rid of/recycle? I have a few characters that are just silly ‘fluff’ characters that I find funny, like my Death Knight gnome ‘Deathdoll” that I never really do anything on, but just look and grin at. I don’t even leave the Character Load Screen in the game for these ones, and I doubt I’ll ever be leveling it very far in game.

💖 8. Is there a character that embodies your good traits, or traits you wish you had? Answered here.

🖤 9. Is there a character that embodies your bad traits? Several characters? Which ones and what traits? I….suppose if anything my ‘bad’ traits are my pull toward the macabre and creepy, which probably is embodied  slightly by my liking for the Forsaken in @gravekeeper-anna, but more graphically by my Forsaken Monk @danseindeath, who is a bit of a horror show that I don’t quite have an established RP voice for yet. I suppose it’s the aesthetic I like the most. @lay-sister-rose has some of my socializing problems injected in her personality. Saf is can seem emotionally unavailable like I can, but she is far more on the Aquarian spectrum than myself, especially now since I returned to playing her character for the past couple of years after some…changes.

♨️ 10. Is there a character that explores your interests or fetishes (orrrr is that just all of you characters)? Truthfully, I’m kinda careful about putting my characters into romances too quickly, let alone letting them explore their sexuality with anyone, because I’m probably…just picky about who I write that kind of stuff with. I don’t like that to be the central guiding force of my writing in the end, which is sort of where I’ve been before and eventually lost interest or just remember having very creepy experiences with writing partners. Though I can say that @lay-sister-rose has an artist’s soul and has…probably interesting ideas about her sensuality regarding artistry that she just doesn’t know how to convey yet. If anything, my interests run the scope of darker themes that I probably wouldn’t ever touch irl – it’s just where a character, like Safrona ended up down on her messed up road, and I find it interesting to pry into the psychology of her sensuality and desire.

✒️ 11. If you have characters that embody certain traits of yours—good or bad—has writing them changed how you view those traits? Has it affected you in any way?  Answered here.

💭 12.   Do you fantasize about being any of your characters, or are you more detached? Definitely more detached from my characters. They are creative outlets that I see as creations, and I hurt them, put them through messes, see them evolve. Sometimes I have killed them. I don’t want to be them, but I love them in my own twisted way. They are my art pieces.

🎵 13. Do you create playlists for your characters? Answered here.

🎇 14. When writing for specific characters, is there anything you have to do to get into the right mindset? Sometimes, it takes me putting on a playlist, but more often than not it’s just me reading a previous lengthy post for the character in mind or a previously written Rp post. Sometimes my character just evades me, and there’s nothing I can do to get rid of the block. When yer brain is tired it’s tired.

🌻 15. Which character is your guilty pleasure? Probably right now it’s Saraj, though I don’t play him very much ICly. I suppose I just don’t feel I’m intelligent enough to write him most of the time, but he’s a bit of casual fun when he slips in with the occasional word.

🌩 16. Is there a character of yours who’s a real struggle to write/draw? Why do you think that is? I’ve been wanting to draw up Saraj, and be proud of it, but let’s face it: Ethereal’s are complicated to draw. I also struggle with writing for Quintin @delaurac. For now, I just don’t know what I’m doing with him in writing, and I haven’t drawn him up satisfyingly yet. But I usually have a problem with male characters. One day it will be a hurdle I overcome, if I’m really inspired and really put myself to it.

🔑 17. Which character is the easiest to draw/write? Saf is definitely the easiest to draw/write, as she is the one I write and play for the most. She’s a default blood elf in looks, and having a very clear idea of what she looks like and acts like in my mind really helps writing and drawing overall. It’s probably why I have the most art done of Saf.

💎 18. Is there anything you really wish you could do, character-design-wise, that you feel is outside your current skillset? A concept that you wish you could pull off but are uncertain about? I think overall I need to just practice as far as art goes, and stay cohesive with a character’s design. I want to draw male characters better and work on more action-y poses. As far as writing goes, again just having the chance to write and pop out something decent and interesting is enough for me. I’ll like to write more for other characters perhaps, when my mind is able to handle them, or when I decide I can put Saf up on a little bit of a higher shelf to play with someone else. I want to get the design for my most played characters to a point where I am comfortable and happy with them all…but that takes time and patience and…being focused on art, and I just haven’t been lately.

🏆 19. What’s more important to you: visual design, unique personality, a trendy character aesthetic, etc? If you’re not sure, then what’s the first thing you usually nail down in a character?  For me, a character is not ‘alive’ until I have a little backstory for them and feel I can Rp, or write for them. Getting down a personality or a small base concept for a character is pretty integral for me wanting to play them, even in-game. If I do not have any sort of concept in mind, I lose interest pretty quickly in the character.

🎬 20. Do you ever plan to do anything (comic, animation, etc) with your characters? Or are you just happy to have them? Actually, Safrona /@gravekeeperanna ‘s original concept started off waaay back when I was in high school, a tragic heroine in a short ghost story I wrote that got published to the school newspaper lol. She haunted me a few years later when I discovered WoW, and she became her own character. My first warlock, and my favorite class! I drew her ALOT, and experimented with comic panels and things, and I’ve always been very inspired by comic book art since high school. While I am happy to have the characters and be able to write for them now, I imagine one day I miiiight want to create a comic if I can get motivated to actually finish a project, but only time will really tell.
