Title: Self-Critique, Plox
Post by: TheBarmaid on September 19, 2012, 03:36:44 AM
I would like to hear the communities genuine opinion on my role playing, and the characters I play - if you've noticed patterns or things I ought to do differently. No need to sugar coat, be brutal if you like and you can sent a PM if your afraid of others getting mad.

Sample of characters I play, have played, etc:

Emily Jacobson
Altan Yilmaz
Eiral Kennyrania
Aaron Cloudson
Sophia Berkinrand
Mairi McConnel
Azira Ranskuld

etc...

Stroke your ego elsewhere.

I've only known Emily. She seems to level-headed all the time! I wish she were more brash - or perhaps a slutty drunkard.

I've only known Emily Jacobson, if that tells you anything. Batman is not Emily, if anything Emily is Robin on a good day or maybe Nightwing.

I think Emily is more like Vicki Vale.

Occasional present time references are made in character, which can be amusing, so I am neither saying it is problematic nor singular; just keep it mind.

Also, self critique would be if you were critiquing yourself, which you are not. ;)

Using module names in dialogue are a bit 4th-wall-chewing. Remember that if there isn't a sign that says what the name of the place is, or it isn't common knowledge, calling it the exact name might be a little weird.

Other than that, you're fine.

Batman is CG.

That depends on the character. I often find myself thinking the same things about other people.

It also depends on the values. I am not sure what there is 'modern' about people's right to live, for example. Two thousand years ago there was this dude who was quite insistent on the importance of it, and he ended up the star of a book which is still a bestseller today. Or insistence on democratic values, that one is not new either. Hatred of slavery, hm, I suspect the first slave hated it not very long after he got slapped into what passed for chains at the time. And so forth.

Batman is Chaotic Good.

The point is, some human values have been with us throughout the ages. You just have to be careful not to give it an explicitly 21st century feel. I won't elaborate, as we have other thread (//%22http://www.escapefromundeath.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57151%22)s discussing such things.

My only critique would be your ability to 'put a character on hold' for months at a time.  There are three names on your list of characters that I'm not sure if they are dead, or you just decided to put them on hold.

Play one character to it's end.. please.  Especially for those who are interacting with them. Marcail was trying to get things going at the Mist End with Emily, but she just vanished.  Then there is stuff with the Conclave and Sophia, that I  don't know where that ended up because again, I never saw her again, and Emily was back.  So I don't know where that is left off with.

So again, my only critique is to finish one character before you start another.

Don't ask for criticism then try to defend yourself.

It seems more polite than ignoring someone outright, to reply with your own thoughts.
