JADE HARLEY

Tips on her voice and speech patterns especially, please?

I guess if you have anything at all that would be cool, but that bit especially feels very off.

ROSE LALONDE

[personal profile] threadspinner 2012-04-18 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
SO I already have an idea of how I play her like this, but I'm always up for different interpretations....

In the game I'm in, it's a complete amnesia game -- and memories are not won back in order. For example, Rose's first memory was [S] Rose: Ride. And her second was the Green Sun mission discussion with Doc Scratch! She doesn't know she's playing a game, or who any of her friends are, or her Mom, or why anyone is important. In addition, she doesn't know her name, or how to write or read...any of the good stuff. Not even horrible wizard fanfic is a skill she kept. It is awaiting its day...

So my question for you is: Rose without her memories, how would you play her? Obviously, she's missing a lot of the influence left by Mom, the secrecy and tendency to passive aggressive maneuvers, psychoanalysis, witty comebacks. So what's left? In addition, how do you think she'd handle all these new revelations about her life when observed almost like an outsider, getting the story piece by piece? Like I said, I have a basic idea, but I'd love to hear someone else's interpretation.

DIRK STRIDER

I know enough Daves where it's like, shit, might as well troll them in memes. But I'd rather not add another shitty Dirk to the pile, so how do I not screw this up?

Not sure where else to put this. Might be considering picking him up but I kind of want to doublecheck with other people about how they think AR differs from Dirk.

JANE!

(Anonymous) 2012-05-01 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Any tips on keeping with her speech patterns, personality, motivations, etc?

If you don't ponder/play her, could you tell me what you expect from a good Jane? What are the signs of a bad one?

I love her to bits but don't quite have much confidence with her yet so any advice would help!
almostexclusivelyornery: Karkat with his jaw practically hitting the floor. (IS THAT A - PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S NOT -)

KARKAT VANTAS

[personal profile] almostexclusivelyornery 2012-04-07 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
So we might as well start off the party with the quintessential troll himself, am I right? Making myself available for groggy 2/3am feelings and questioning.

First I'll contribute one of the biggest things that has helped me to characterize Karkat, and that is sticking to his canon expressions. Not that I'm vetoing fanart usage by any means! But I find using his canon range has helped me to keep him, as my username implies he is, almost exclusively ornery. In particular note the lack of smiles and smirks. This is, sadly, a canon thing. Although situationally it works well (usually romantic situations), having ornery icons as my man emotional range helps to keep me in check, I find.

I also have an essay on how to write troll movie titles, which obviously is a nice skill to have playing this guy.

Now, questions for you: how do you handle his views on violence? On black romance? On leading a team? Could he ever whisper as he did to Sollux again? Things are craaaaaaaaazy!

I remember back at dreamselves on lj there was some talk about some kind of guide for playing Davesprite someone was writing up. Anything come of that?

WE FINALLY GOT OUR OWN SECTION YEAAAAAH

I'm curious: who's still playing in games? Are there any good games out there for...well, a gamebreaker? Somewhere that doesn't ban powers completely, but still has good restrictions? What are some that have worked for you in the past?

I write a bloodswap/colorswap AU with a few friends called Timeslight, we really like it. You might like it too! It's just starting up again after a few months of inactivity (because we all got busy, you know how it is), and if you would like to check it out, we have a community on DW...because we are snazzy. It's [community profile] timeslight! Yes, so creative. I know.

Right now we've decided to start focusing on the trolls, but we'll also be doing a lot of kid stuff, and we're pretty sure that the plot is going to be a little different from canon (though now that canon is giving out god tier like Oprah gives out bees, we'll see).

YEAH.

What are your feelings, how do you think it should/could work, and who wants to play it with me?
