I have the sneaking suspicion that everyone is doing this meme, but no one is actually asking any questions. Regardless!

Ask me a question about RPing. It can be absolutely anything (OOC thoughts, pet peeves, IC plans, characters I play) and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Whatever you ask, I will try my best to answer.

Haha, memories. Back in the Gaia Online days, there was a group of us who basically played with each other exclusively for around four years. There were a lot of different games we came up with, so it's hard to remember all the characters. I'll stick with the two who lasted longest.

First was was Lay, an anthro-type character I designed before I knew what furries were. He was pretty much your typical badass quiet type, a bounty hunter who could talk to animals.
Another one I was fond of was Amleth, who was the Pig Who Built His House Of Straw. He was timid, paranoid, frightened, and all around beat-down. It was a ton of fun to slowly build up his strength through the plot of the game.

Amleth sounds really interesting! What was the story around the game you played him in? How did his character-building arc go?

The idea of it was that the characters in fairy tales had to pretty much live their stories over and over. The Wolf was tired of being the bad guy who always got killed, The Prince was sick of shallow princesses, Red Riding Hood was totally over the damsel in distress thing, and Amleth was sick of living in fear while his brother got to be the smart one. Our characters had finally gotten sick of it, and decided to make an attempt to make their own destinies.

So while they're venturing and trying to do that, evil folk like The Evil Witch or some other Wolves show up and harass them. Amleth was pretty much the weakest of the group by far, so he got his ass handed to him a few times. He had to buck up and gain some courage to support his friends. By the end, it was coming to a final battle where their refusal to fulfill their roles was kind of destroying the storydimension and it was gonna be pretty cool, but the activity petered out before it could get finished.

That whole concept sounds super awesome and like a hell of a lot of fun! Sadface that it never got the chance to finish 8(

It really was a lot of fun, and it got a lot more detailed and expansive than most of the other stuff we ran with, which is probably why we managed to keep it going so long. It would have been great to finish it off, but what we did manage was totally worth it.
