I'm not sure I understand your logic there, but okay.

Ok, and what does that mean for your character?

I will never understand you need to put your character in pain.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Neither do I and I'm not going to try to understand. I mean, I'll give my characters fears and expectations but it'll be reasonable. I mean, Asoka only needs to be as powerful as her sisters in her mind. She has some of that already as she can at least use her Soulsword and now she needs to equal them physically (reason for physical training) and magically (reason to go to the KCoM). So, at least it's kept within reasonable boundaries and not bleeding hands.

@ marv well I see him as trying to keep that arm hurting thing a part of the plot for the character I guess. Was wondering does he do this kind of thing for his characters alot?

@ Dryad I get his reason for having his character like that somewhat because its something he wants his character to overcome not just to go away as a simple problem then it would be too boring. Well thats what I'm assuming.

Had a character with a similar problem. Illumia was her name. There are differences to what caused the pain and other details, but because of this it put her in situations where she had to endure the pain. I don't leave it alone and it magically goes disappears. It would have been to simple.

P.s. Was wondering if any of you had a pattern within your characters. Like a similar situation or quality or detail the have. Cause I noticed mines but before I mention it I wanna hear from you guys.

Well, I don't know that it ever comes up, but I always try to give any character I make theme music. I find It helps me keep track of their core character.

It was bugging me for a while that I couldn't find one I thought fit Billy, until I stumbled upon it.

I'll admit, kind of obvious in retrospect.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I kinda have a thing for energy as an element, and my better characters tend to be fairly eccentric/extroverted/charismatic.

But no I don't really have a pattern.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I know he does it as a plot point for his character I just don't  know why he picked to put him in pain.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I don't have a pattern either, I just use whatever seems fun to play as.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Indeed.

Because sometimes to make a character stronger, you have to hurt them. Put a character in pain, and you can use that to do any number of things. Motivate, disable, use the characters reaction to it to show insight into them.

For example, for Bug the pain is a weakness Eric has to overcome, a way to put Eric in danger and rack up the tension, and a way to show Eric determination to continue learning magic despite it. The fact that Eric Ashgrove never shies away from using his powers when he needs them, despite the damage it does and the pain it causes him, reveals something about the character in a way that doesn't have to be explicitly stated.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

No, look...I know its a weakness for him to overcome. I don't get why he picked pain specifically for that.

...You know what nevermind....It doesn't matter. On with the RP!
