Eek. Honestly, I dunno. I guess... Adding complexity to them. Not as in a really long backstory, but more like... How they want people to see them and how they really are. Faron wants to be seen as a cold, calculating cultist, but he's a father at heart, and hides that as best he can. That adds a bit of internal conflict when things happen that bring out any sort of sentiment.

Of course, there's a fine line to walk between "Emotional but realistic" and "Overly emotional dramatic" - emotions should be toned down a bit (not talking about your characters specifically here). If a character thinks of something sad, they seem more realistic if they get a bit less social - they seem less realistic if they break into sobs. Of course, this varies with the memory - truly life changing, horrible memories will do a lot more to a character.

And, of course, that character chart. There are a lot of character questions like that, ones that ask things like "What does your character want to prove? To who?" and that sort of thing. Those are both helpful with adding depth to a character, and they're just fun to fill out.

So.. Yeah. xD I just rambled there, sorry.

Also! I can't take Hyjal seriously. Going through it on Fire, running around messing with the Cult...

I SWEAR to you, I keep expecting a lightning wolf around whenever I see a troll. And Azu. I expect an Azu wandering around too. D:

That's how I'm starting to feel about Twilight Highlands. I've crossed some line haven't I?

*sniffs.*

You, my friend, are now a true RPer.

(I actually don't know if you need to start seeing and thinking your RP in RL in order to be a true RPer or not.)

Ack! I was doing Pet Journal!

I did get a HUGE FotTC reference and a nice one to Aralos and Crow, so I'm pretty happy.

I've had that happen, Ruby. Sucks, doesn't it?
Give it a few days or so, and it usually comes back. Last time I had RP block I felt quite guilty that I wasn't posting, but just thinking of posting was enough to make me uneasy and stressed out.

it ultimatly sucks for sure.
I also had an idea to turn Kasmus's personlity to more of my rping style and make him feel more alive, of course im going to need a random cultist to help me
it involves conbincing him that the earth mother abadon him, the cultists are working for deathwing right?
maybe if they convince him that deathwing will remake the earthmother so she'll accept hi again after he destorys azeroth?
yeah im going to make him insane but hes a bad guy anyways
I'll do this when I feel like roleplaying again
bleh.

Aye, take some time off Ruby, it'll do you the world of good :)
And when you come back, I'd be happy to volunteer Lesari or Jraak for your random cultist, unless you get an offer from someone better.

Also, I'm out for a while guys. Sorry to ditch in the middle of a fight... which I'm running.
