Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenmarel" data-source="post: 2559725">*tosses Draggy a bucket of coppers so she can continue to add her two coppers*Jardel as usual you are speaking the very thoughts that I have problems putting into words.  You got a mind probe going on me or something? lol  Draggy I agree with several of the things you say as well.  Many of the posts I have read mirror at least one aspect of something I think even the original post.One thing to remember when playing evil or any other type of character......try to be original with your ideas.  Devils trying to take over, demons trying to take over because the devils are, creatures of shadow stepping forth to make both look like wee little school girls that wear pink frilly dresses with ribbons in their hair, and any other type of planar has been done to death.  If you come in with a new type of this character yes you will be judged by the actions of those that were doing it before you.  So you had better be one of the greatest rpers around to make sure your character isn't thrown into a stereotype such as Vile wannabe, Helfried/Baalodias wannabe or what have you.  Yeah I concentrated on evil here because there are far more 'copy cats' playing the good and neutral characters that I would be here forever.  Got to say this though...........Drizzt is in a published novel you may not play him and he has no direct family left now!  Please stop with the "I'm a cousin of Drizzt or I'm the sister of Drizzt".  Taking someone else's work and butchering it in such a fashion is just wrong and yes no matter how well you play it you are BUTCHERING someone's work!!!!!!!!!!  For those of you that have enteracted with Fen or Rayl for a length of time know that either of them would attempt to kill Drizzt.  Fen because he hates to admit there can be drow that good and Rayl because of Drizzt alot of people think that drow are goodie goodie though they don't dwell on him only mentioning they can't stand him when some moron has to sit there and spout their family lineage including Drizzt as their brother, cousin or what have you.Now if you want to play blatant evil you have to build up to it.  Just showing up and being blatantly evil doesn't work UNLESS you talk to other players first OOC about your story idea and get some to back you up by getting their characters involved in either a supporting or antagonistic role.  For the most part the majority of players won't just jump into what ever you are doing with one of their established characters.  Anyone that tells you they will just go along with what ever you have in mind when you first show up is lying to you.  Yeah there might be one or two that will do it but they are the ones that are so flakey they can't keep their own character's storyline straight from day to day and usually not worth the effort of interacting with.Patience is the key to ANY character, especially if you are a new player.  Some players come around for months or even a year or more before they get anything meaningful happening with their character(s).  If you become impatient and begin to try and force actions into play you are in for a bumpy and long road.  These actions will earn you a reputation on this site that will take a long time to overcome as in any other community setting.</blockquote>
