I am crazy. All the things I am doing and all the projects I have been busy working on and I have decided to get back into RPing again… or um…Try to. Right now both applications I am working on are not going too well.
I had to create an original character for one RP so I tried to make one that was average. No powers, no outstanding talent in anything but all in all a good guy. I just wonder if by making him average that he’s too boring. I wanted a normal person. I like reading about normal people being tossed into extraordinary circumstances so I thought this would be a good opportunity to write with one. But although I like him, I don’t think he is interesting enough and I feel as though he needs a little more complexity.
The other application requires a lot of thinking. The character is one I am familiar with and have played in a few other games, but I have to rewrite the application. The last application I wrote for him I didn’t really put a lot of effort into. It was a small game, someone had played the character before me, and they butchered him. Playing him in that game, I could get away with and experiment with a lot of things because ‘Hey! I wasn’t as bad as the last one!’
I don’t think that will fly with this game so much. Turning out a worthy application isn’t easy with him as more serious games have high standards for this particular character. But if I get him in, it will be worth it! His frienemy from the last game I had him in is there which would mean the return of the witty bickering and mind games between the two. Something I have been sorely missing.
Tomorrow I am covering someone’s shift again at the museum but I should be done in time for the parade. I may not have the money to cover going to the party afterwards but I should at least get some awesome pictures and still be home before dark. I’ve been looking forward to this since I first heard they were doing it. It used to be a big thing for this town in the late 1800s but interest started to die off and one woman who was working on the costumes for it ended up working herself to death.
