[QUOTE="Megan Voss, post: 5626433, member: 6679267"] Herobizkit, I think your posts are great and that your character is fun. Because it is Your character. You can make it whatever you want. This is your power. As far as lengthy writing. Don't do it. The less their is to the read, the better. Hera is new so I'm being very discriptive and writing alot. It's the only way I know to take a 'Character Sheet' and make it into a 'Character of Depth'. If you want to learn how to make long posts, then here are some ideas: ... [B]Setting and Atomsphere:[/B] Include the feeling and depth of the setting and descriptive traits of your surroundings. Use all five senses and expound upon them. [B]Internal, External, and Verbal Communication:[/B] Include what your character is thinking, gesturing, and saying. [B]Beyond the Box:[/B] Include things that are not implied in the DM's journey or quest. Small things like, passing memories, momentary distractions, names of places you'll never go, animals by the roadside, and maybe architexture or design of local buildings. [B]Perspective determines Reality:[/B] Your character is how you percieve the DM's world. It is a window by which you look out and observe the fantasy around you. Thus, be aware that Bias or Assumptions can -- and will -- change the adventure for you. Example: ...A Wizard will see Cause and Effect through the window of intillectual thought. ...A Warrior will see Cause and Effect through the window of tactics and warfare. ...A Paladin will see Cause and Effect through the window of their God and religion. These are all Bias. And Bias will affect the way you post and what your character "Percieves to be Reality". Conclusion: Don't include the world as it is. Include the world as your character sees it. ... These are just a few ideas. Use them or don't. We are here to have fun, not become the author's of a literary novel. You are not required to make anybody happy either. Your writing does not have to please anybody but yourself. Herobizkit, I like you just the way you are. Because you are Awesome!!! :D:D:D:D [/QUOTE]
