[OOC: How's My Driving ConCrit!]

[fireofshandora]

[This is here because I feel like I have been having trouble characterizing lately. Especially with Calgara, and a bit with Kaku. Eneru too. Though any concrit on Eneru will have to be pre-apple switch, as that is occurring in a few minutes.

So here's my thing with them:

Calgara - fireofshandoraI love this character. But lately, I feel as though I've had him

Hmm. Yes, Calgara does at times seem a bit too intellectual. However, considering who he's been hanging out with lately, it makes sense that some of that might rub off. As far as the angry/protective/OFF MY TURF thing... maybe post every once in awhile about raiding parties, or Marine attempts at taking out the Sunny. I mean, they're always chasing the Mugiwaras, so run with it. IDK. Robin doesn't generally post those things because they aren't news to her anymore, unless something in particular happens. So. Also, if you're feeling particularly brave, try having Calgara jump into a Robin/Croc thread, and see how that turns out. You might get a good fight out of it, yanno?

The only unfortunate thing is that you play both Calgara and Eneru. Those two could have some seriously epic interactions... except you'll probably get bored of it really fast. But there's also the total control you could have over what happens with them, and that can be fun in it's own way. Think of it as telling a really awesome story to the rest of us. Or something. *flails*

Kaku has been fun, in my mind. I love how polite he is. And "Miss Robin" is totally cute, I have no idea why. I guess one of the things I remember most about him, though, was the reflective and almost meditative quality of his character. He thought about things like "what it means to be an assassin" and stuff like that. I never got the impression that he was in it for just the sheer love of killing. Perhaps it was more about the rush of wondering if he'd succeed or be killed? Maybe bring those things out more in RP. Post something or make comments about what he thinks about his new job as a member of the Mugiwara crew. If you happen to be online at the same time as Sammi, maybe Kaku and Zoro could have a "friendly" rematch or something. They can talk afterwards or something, and it would give Sammi a chance to explore the inner workings of Zoro a bit, as well. Also, I totally think Kaku would challenge Luffy to a "who can jump higher/farther?" contest. You could get Chopper to go into Jumping Point and totally go for it.

What I've seen of Eneru has been well done. I know he's hard... that's why most people wouldn't go anywhere near him. But you know, I think you've got the right thing going there with Fujiko- he needs to be always convincing people that he really is God, and that they should worship him. You know that if you ever need help with ideas, you can always ask in chat. I'm pretty sure that between the lot of us, we could come up with something appropriately insane. Or PM me, since I'm not always in chat, and we'll bounce ideas off each other. You know how we work. ^_^

Oooooh. I might just have to jump into a Robin/Croc thread. XD That could be VERY fun. I'll keep the raiding parties and such in mind as well. Thanks!

I've been considering dropping Eneru for that reason, among others. His posts and comments don't come as easily to me as Calgara or Kaku, and it can be frustrating at times. But I love what interactions that have been going on so far. I'd love to have a Wiper to have both Calgara and Eneru interact with. XD

I DO need to have Kaku and Zoro interact. I don't know why I actually haven't. Now that he's not nine years old anymore, perhaps it will be more entertaining. XD

Thanks, Mags! <3

Maybe if you aren't having a whole lot of fun with Eneru, drop him and like, NPC him around like mad. Cuz we really do love him... Heh.

[fireofshandora]

Oh, most definitely. If I did drop him, I would still NPC him until we got another one.
