Reception

[Zambrano the Starweird]

I know technically that this isn't my writer account, but this is probably the face you would recognize me by at this point, considering this is the only serious character I've been roleplaying as for the past several months.

So I'm just curious about any critiques you have of my writing.

Don't be gentle now

 

[Darth Carnifex]

You've always been awesome, bro.

Even when we RP'd on that other site for a time before getting really involved in Chaos.

You are amongst the best writers I've ever had the pleasure to write with. What's more is that you're also a very wonderful person, too. I don't think I've met someone who could be so genuine one moment and then suddenly bad ass the next.

What [member="Darth Vornskr"] said, though. You're awesome.

P.S. give me some writing tips.

 

[Antoir Setrrin]

Fave. You are undeniably one of my favorite people on the site, in character and out. From my first day here to now, you've been an influential member of the board, someone I've seen around quite a bit. And despite the fact that we haven't interacted IC anywhere near as much as I'd like, I can honestly say that I love your writing, your characters, and your willingness to work with others.

I'd go into more detail, but my internet is being insanely spazzy, and I don't trust my phone to keep working long enough to write any more than this. I'll try to say some more later if I have the chance.

From one of my enemies, to my characters Master, down to this hate-loveable Hutt, you keep to a certain level of creative genius. When a question arises, you don't simply state well this is how I would reply. You get inside your characters head, and each time it could even be as far as to assume they were written by separate writers - that is the level of depths you place into each.

Voractios literally ate Damien's memories, was the epitome of glutton and insatiable hunger. He was snide, crude, and evil to the core.

Triam is beyond the opposite. Set on making the best name she can, while being a little bit of a snarky smartass. Each person she interacts with later has the chance to tell others that they met a one of a king girl bent on being the utter best.

Zambrano was a character that opened himself and found love in a small itty bitty thing that became a support beam in his life. When he passed, Zambrano became sadistic and aggressive. He is much like Voracitos, save the darker side of what Darth Crisco could be, not was. I imagine one day I will see Zambrano committing mass genocide. On a planetary level.

When I review things, which I rarely do, I always try to give a good critique at the end, as a hey you could do this better side note. Honestly the only thing I can come up with is more characters. When you truly push yourself to new heights in the attempt to have, say, 5 active characters, you will find each becoming their own person even faster then the ones mentioned.

All in all, very enjoyable writing, where you put yourself in the minds of your characters. Each one makes me wish to read the next set of stories. Just waiting for new characters now.

I still remember you more as Fatty & Voracitos more so than either Triam or your Hutt - Triam more than the Hutt, though honestly you write them so differently that could be why.

I like your change in writing style with each character, you certainly pull off the doom & gloom with Voracitos, and some mild humor on occasion.

I also enjoyed writing in our very short tournament duel thing that I quickly ran out of time to respond to, though the end was what I had expected/planned on happening to begin with.

[member="Darth Vornskr"] Thanks ^_^ I think it's pretty cool that we've know each other as RPers that long.

[member="Anja Aj'Rou"], right gud skrub

[member="Razor Shot"], yay I can get into the minds of psychopaths! :3 Also, lol, I don't think I can handle much more than what I got right now I do have multiple characters though! DV, Triam, and ZHutt are the usuals, but on rare occasion I'll pull out my Stone Hermes to do things. I remember when I would make a bunch of characters, back in ye olde days. I've found my niche since then, so there hasn't been huge incentive or motivation to branch out into new faces. Lately, I've just been replaying old popular faces (with the exception of ZHutt of course).

[member="Braith Achlys"], our little duel was fun indeed, shame it ended so soon though!

So the general consensus here it would seem, is that I'm really good at detaching my identity as a writer from my characters, with the ability to flip on dime exactly who I am

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Yeh boi.

We old skool crew.

Lol well I await the days when you find more muse and create new arcs!

Okay, you're on of the longer-standing guys on here, and I've been here almsot two years now, I think. So, the thing I want to say is that your approach to evil is one I find interesting.


There's a lot of flavors of bad guy. There's even a wide variety of effects evil can have on a person. So, different writers take on a different kind of approach to what makes the bad guy so damn bad.


Although I hardly have threaded with Voracitos, I've rad a lot of your stuff with him. In his position, evil isn't just consuming or massive--although those are both things--it's an active force of corruption and degradation. The big V's vaunted "hunger" is more liek a plague of locusts than than a simple massive greedy creature. He's a blight an a menace, but he's also as well described as a mass of menaces combined into one horrible, bloated messy, thing. In many ways, he's a great example of a villainous monster--he's just a man who's vices became so exaggerated he became a monstrous creature.



Your Hutt's a little more eccentric, and actually one of the more off-beat concepts I've sen in the Primeval. He's religious, but still impious. He doesn't look at the gods as spiritual models as much as physical ones. There's a divinely inspired hubris to Z that's even more audacious than your average Hutt--and that's saying something. If Voracitos is best described as the "monster," then the word I'd throw at Zambrano is the "deranged" or even the "Arrogant madman." Z is the kind of being who could be perfectly fine with the universe if his ambition wasn't so far beyond conventional sanity. He'll delve into some truly crazy things to find some truly wicked answers--and it will be a fun ride to watch him do so.



I've always like Villains, and I think you have a real knack for finding ways to make a villain memorable. We often talk of scale and power, but really good bad guys--the jerks you love to hate, the ones who make you curse at the screen and stare in shock--are the ones who make it personal, the ones who make it hurt, the ones who find ways to disturb you. While your bad guys are often very geared towards one or two specific ideas, and very single-track baddies, they do that effectively and intelligently, and that's a good thing. After all, the heroes look good when they are fighting truly vile opponents. So, keep throwing mosnters around.
