Character Essays?

[lightningflash8]

Anyone interested in writing up some character essays? Touching on subjects like personality, relationships, character development, etc. Maybe if we get enough interested members we can do one for each main character? Personally, I'd love to do one on Gunther, and I think it'd be a great way to sort out ICness and build a starting block for the

I guess the best way to explain it would be to give you an example. This is a lovely essay written about the Manga character Jean Havoc for an anime/manga essay comm. I think it'd be lovely to see JatD charas explored like this.

You're welcome! XD

Regarding JatD history, well, we know more about Jane's (and possibly Dragon's) than any one else's, but we do know, for instance, that the King was born Ratcliffe, and took on his deceased older brother's name, and we know that Smithy arrived at the castle with nothing but his pig, and that before 'Go West Young Gardener' Rake had never travelled far beyond the castle. So the show is always dropping hints, and it doesn't take a great deal of research into Medieval history, and the average lifestyle of each social class, to be able to guess what the character's lives might have been like.

Plus, of course, we could focus much more on the characters' character (i.e. Gunther's insecurity, Rake's nervousness, Jester's 'hidden' quiet side.) especially if we're to use these as a study for future RP interraction.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea! I could do Princess Livinia (not sure if her name is spelt right).

I'm not sure if it's Livinia or Lavinia, but I think it's the latter.

And that sounds great! ^_^
