Completely agree with Doubar. I think it´s an empathy thing.I feel with my characters. Not with all of them in the same way but with characters I feel really comfortable playing with. So even if I channel Sinbad terribly missing Maeve because he loves her, that doesn´t mean I´m in love with Maeve´s player of course. Therefore, call me pretty much batshit insane ;D but I´ve even cried with my characters already. Not SInbad, even though he got me close once.  And I think it´s in a way comparable to what actors do. Without empathy, no one would be able to play a role. Why would an actor be able to cry on command? because he or she tries to feel with the character, adapt to the figure. It´s not a matter of split personality, that would be if you say "I am Sinbad / Firouz / Maeve whatever" then I´d start to worry, but because of a little channeling? Nah. |

well i never Rp-ed before. but i wrote stories. and i hardly have the full muse to write one. but i write just when i feel that I'm totally living with the character, with all its feelings. of course the matter is quite different with the rp-character but me too get used to the brunette so quickly. i mean first when i took it, i was a little nervous about having or playing her 'cause she was the first who made me stop watching the season in the first place. but look how strange channeling would change the point of views. i totally began to love her and feel her. I mean i discovered that she held so many features of the one i would love to Rp so I'm sure no one of us here think of you or doubar as insane  . when i began to read or watch or see Bryn i begin to feel that my look at her became deeper may i ask which one you cried for nili ? |

may i ask which one you cried for nili ? My mutant girl,an original character for an XMen rpg.She had lost her little brother who was shot by anti mutant activists and she joined Magneto´s Brotherhood, a sort of terrorist organisation, seeking revenge. She made friends in and out of the Brotherhood, living a white lie and getting deeper and deeper into a bad consciousness. Getting her out was emotionally tough. *pats Shadey´s head* |

No, it´s my nickname for her.Like every mutant, she has a sort of code name which refers to her powers. Her real name is Emily, but no one calls her that because she goes by her mutant name, Shade, because she can turn invisible. |

Question : Do you think it's more easy to play an original character or one who already exist ? When I think about it ; I really don't know. Play a character you don't have created have the advantage that you don't have to imagine his background. Normally, he have already one. You just have to play the character as you see his personnality, and as our Doubar said, let him play. It's not your personnality you play, but his, but at the same time surely you will give a part of you to him. The real difficulty is to not go too far from the real character, the one you know from where he come from. If not, it become some kind of original character mixed with one already created. In the case of an original character, you have to created all his background by yourself. It's fun because you can imagine what you want him to be... but at the same time, you do realize *and maybe I will sound crazy, I don't mind* that he end up to have is own personnality... Sometime, I think like Eleana is telling me her story and then that I was just telling you her story. It's like she's not a part of me anymore. But at the same time, she's indeed a part of me... She have some of my traits. A little bit of my personnality. I know, it seem crazy... She can't really have her own personnality... she's an original character for God's sake but it's my point of view. At the end, for a conclusion, I think that both (original and canon) have their advantage and difficulties... Don't know why, but I just want to tell this to you, guys. |

Aw, thany for sharing your opinion with us And I totally don't find your words to be crazy. In fact I can very well understand you. About what is easier to be played? Well, taking over a canon one can be hard at the beginning, because even though you have a lot of material you can work with, you have to be them and not yourself. They cannot develop freely like an original one could, but have to follow the given line. On the other hand this of course makes it easier somehow since you can sit down, watch the eps and "let" the character "enter" your ... mind. And once they did, playing a canon one is cool, caus' its just like you describe it: it's as if they tell you their story and act on their own. And one point shouldn't be forgotten anyways: I think we all picked on the canons we for some reason can identify ourselves with or whom we can understand. I for example - even though having said "yes" to take over Rongar before silence joined us - knew that I couldn't work with Rongar well. I like his character but I have no ... real understanding for him. Playing him would have been way harder than playing Doubar or Mala who I can both understand quite well. About playing an original: uh well, both my characters are canon even though you could say that Mala is half-orginal since we only saw her once in the show - meaning I got quite some scope for development with her. And yes, whenever I see her pic in the signature I know just who she is and got the feeling that even though I wanted to add quite some of my personal traits to her, she - even though being half-original in a way - will develop slightly different from that one. Maybe a bit like what you encounter with Eleana at the moment. *shrugs, smiles* Anyhow. I think what you said is just correct. Both have their advantages and their disadvantages. And I have the feeling that Sinbad - who has experience in both - will just agree with this as well. ;D |

Eleana: I personally am having a harder time playing the role of a already specificed player than one i made up. My opinon to this is that I have to make the already made charactor have the personality and the exact traits as she is portrayed to have. Which can be hard to do,because you have to study the charactor carefully. For example I am having a hard time trying to capture Maeve and Rumina in my Fanfiction because I am only starting to get back into season 1.
Yet when I write about a charactor when I made up. For example Taven from my story A different Destiny. I can easily make him into what ever I want him.

Yup, I can say playing Sarah is way easier, and actually quite fun, than playing Bryn or Firouz. I constantly had to have second thoughts before writing for Bryn, because she already had a personality, although a small one, and I was free to add some anger and sassiness to her. ;D I honestly got bored of Firouz and was actually glad to give him up. And probably Whisper understands Bryn better than me. With Sarah, I am free to add any personality I want. I think I am going to make her a mix of Callisto and Maeve with some added traits. Sure, if you pick an original, you have the trouble of developing her/him from scratch (and no, not you, harry devil ). But in the long run, it is much easier than choosing an already developed character. The only thing, Bryn was not very well developed in the show, unlike Firouz. ;D |

I honestly got bored of Firouz I noticed. *ponders* Hum, yeah, indeed one needs to think twice sometimes. But that's just where the "understanding" thing I mentioned would be important. You have to pick on a character that you understand already or that you feel you can easily develop an understanding for. If you have that, it becomes quite easy to decide what the character would do. But I can understand you and wind, of course. Playing an original one, especially at the beginning, would be easier I guess. @wind: *nods* I hear you on that one. Writing a fic and with this writing out all characters is hard, because you have to let all of them act - even the ones you do not understand so well. Having original ones act in turn is much easier. But I had to notice rp-ing is different from that one because you have only you one or at a maximum two characters. |

Yay for chapter two. ;D And well, I think rp-ing in some way is easier because - as I said - you only need to focus on one character and in general you either make that one up on your own or pick on one you feel you do understand. When writing a story you in contrast to this have to write out all characters. I think that's they key. |
