Hello All!

Good thing this probably has no stats, otherwise I'm screwed

Been working my way through Star Wars Exodus to get to know the new people coming on board. Currently reading this behemoth of a thread:
http://sw-e.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10517&sid=2d91c10f0cf226b0d8ff751bdeab8479&start=160

If you write like you do in that thread all the time then SWRP chaos is graced with your presence. Welcome to the board!

Something occurred to me: Did you read all of the War of Darkness threads? If so, that's quite a ton of reading...

 

[Lord Ghoul]

yeah, writer's block is a pain. I usually have to read a new book or watch a new tv series/movie in order to get inspiration.

Not all of it, but working my way through it.

 

[Asemir]

That's typically how I get through mine, or I read some old threads. I was actually in the middle of starting a new thread before Ashin co-opted me and brought me here. Perhaps I'll port that thread over...

The whole WoD spans many, many threads, so I wish you luck in reading (and finding!) them all.

When you write, you make your own stats.

Right, like I'm doing in my sig

Plus, stats do not translate well to actual (story) writing. It is very difficult to quantify an individual's traits and transform those traits into numbers and/or bullet points. I personally find it quite aggravating when asked to, for example, list a character's strengths and weaknesses because such measures are usually subjective and depend on the situation or circumstance. For example, Asemir's analytical mindset and method of approaching difficulties with a problem-solving perspective may be a significant asset in a combat situation. However, it can be a detriment in social situations that typically defy logic and reasoning. (*cough* I.e., empathizing with my wife *cough* :lol: )

I personally view stats and the like as a mere guideline to direct you and keep you honest when writing about or from a certain character's point of view. They are there to give you an idea of how a specific character will act, but they should not be there to limit your writing.

Just my two credits!

 

[Edward Vyperion]

Good point, just saying cause of sites I've been on like this having stats

 

[Asemir]

Oh, yeah, that'd be annoying. I actively avoid those sites!

 

[Edward Vyperion]

yeah, I met some good people on those sites though xD

 

[Asemir]

Bring them over!

 

[Edward Vyperion]

I'll try, one guy wants to join as two Zabraks, but idk why he hasn't joined yet

 

[Asemir]

Ah... Good!

I'm tempted to bring some more Exodus-ers over. Hrm.

 

[Edward Vyperion]

Mine is a fanart of an OC of my own named Vladimir Wulfe, but I found it's use here

Thanks!

Mine is a quick sketch I did of Asemir from years ago. The long hair thing isn't really hair; Asemir's species doesn't have "hair" in the traditional sense. The "hair" are really sensory organs that are sensitive to touch and air movement. They are about a centimeter thick and are known as tera.

Umm...well you could want to kill me.

 

[Asemir]

Umm...well you could want to kill me.

Now, why would I want to do that?

 

[Darron Wraith]

I'm a thorn in Ashin's side. And I could need to be eliminated.
