KEYWORDS V. ACCURATE

O-okay, so! Guys. I am playing Tao Ren now, and that is AWESOME, I'd forgotten how much I'd loved the tsundere-retard shark till I started canon-reviewing for him! And I'm really happy to have him! But I have run into a particular roadblock that I hadn't even thought about until I started ninjaing him around, which is his ultimate and

4. Letting your character suffer. Not everyone wants their character to DIE or get maimed or anything! I didn't, and I managed to avoid it. But Devit had a really shitty time of things for awhile there because he fails and when he fails ALONE he can't back it up, not to mention that not having Jasdero feels to him like having a hole in his head. But it was really interesting to play, too. He broke down on people and raged and cried and get abused like CRAZY and it was awful but it worked out, he met some awesome people out of that and he developed a little. Plus I just like playing crying pussy Devit :( And most of the time once they've experienced some of that, things will start to get better on their own. Let them learn by getting topped or whatever. The introductory feeling of "RAR I'M TOO WEAK TO FIGHT ANYONE HERE BUT I WANT TO KILL EVERYONE!" . . . goes away, ICly, after some experience with that kind of thing. XD Devit had learned enough to say "Later, we'll fight later" by the time he met Agito, and Devit's dumb about this shit.

5. Play it through on a case by case basis, really. If things start to head in that direction, talk to the other mun! You don't have to plan everything out ahead of time and it doesn't always have to work out the same way. Just sort of--play, and hop around and get a feel for them, and every situation is gonna vary. It depends on character moods and who is threading and just how things go in general. So it is not always an issue! You may find perfectly IC, non-interventiony ways to get out of things, or it may be a situation where it'd do your character some good to get owned, or it may be one that lends itself to crack. But REMEMBER! That there's always a solution! It will always work out somehow as long as you communicate and everyone is open. XD

SO RELAX AND HAVE FUN, I THINK, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, because you have an awesome character you love and you have the chance to do new awesome (possibly abusive) things with them and you will love those too, I promissseeee.

I DUNNO UM. QUESTIONS? YOU CAN ALWAYS PM ME OR ANYTHING \o/

YOU ARE SO HELPFUL AND I LOVE YOU ;o;

I-it sort of helps that Ren's personal jesus (haha) IS in camp, so there's already been one thread about Ren being >_____> and Yoh being |D about the missing ghosts, so. At this point, I'm hoping that Yoh and I can conquer timezone fail soon and have a bit more jesusing going on -- though in the meantime, I think I'm going to let Ren get into more trouble than he has been. My biggest problem is that I didn't really want him to get into terrible trouble/fighting/killed before he was. Actually introed. AFTER THAT I DON'T MIND AS MUCH.

THIS WAS ALL VERY VERY HELPFUL AND I AM SO TAKING THIS ADVICE AND SAVING IT and. Applying it once tinyshark has had his share of intro violence. \o/
