Your job today is to leave a reply to this post which has your character or character names. After that, your job is to flit through the rest of the post and leave comments that state what you like about those characters and, in turn, we’ll be leaving compliments under your comment as well.

It’s very simple.

Felix is devious and cunning~. Actually he's a pretty decent sociopath which I find incredibly interesting and engaging.

Jashy amuses me to no end as she patrols the line between painfully trusting and HARD AS NAILS blood knight.

I'm looking forward to seeing where Radrana goes, and I do like the contrast between her an Aenstrian. It's fun reading one of someone's characters point out another's faults, and I can't wait to see how she manages knitting sweaters and the like as Calith. I can't imagine she'll stick firmly within domestic duties for long. A to the m to the bition.

My favorite thing about Aenstrian is looking for the differences when you talk about Felix. You started out with a port, and you've turned them into wonderfully different (but still developed) characters. He makes for a good villain and an interesting protagonist at once, as good villains should do. If I knew him in real life I would run screaming.

Oh wait I probably do, I just call the running and screaming bits 'voting'.

I'm looking forward to seeing his downward spiral dive deeper, just because how he handles it is going to be so fascinating to watch.

Felix is so much fun. I love how he plots and plans, but you rarely see signs of it on the surface. I'm always endlessly curious as to what's going on with him! :D

Plus there are all the little details, like his puppy and now the mana wyrms. There are always plenty of hooks to keep me interested in him!

Obligatory self-post for Jadall. Turning anon on now.

Jad is fucking amazing. He's complex, intense, and makes me cackle every time you post with him. I love watching him interact with other characters, and I love learning about him. I am so happy our characters get to RP together, and I hope his hair and your muse for him live long and prosper.

You will, of course, never guess who this is.

It's a little thing that makes me so much look forward to RPing with or interacting with Jad on Twitter: His use of names. I love love love love it when a character in RP or in a book has something like that, that you can tell so much by a little thing like the name he uses.

And true or not, the whole 'spy' thing continues to tickle me endlessly.

Jadall is one of those characters that I simultaneously wish I knew more about, and enjoy knowing so little about.

I will never forget that very first journal post you did up on LJ, and just sitting back and peering at my screen going '...WHAT?'. The crazy was intense and well-written and completely out of the blue because he puts such a good front up in public.

When you do journal, I'm always like 'mmm mmm mm /grabbyhands' because it's a side of the character that you'd otherwise never see. He's so stealth, so wonderfully stealth, and it's fun to try to look for the faintest hints of it that poke through every now and then. He might occasionally seem the tiniest bit off, but nowhere would I have IC reason to go CULTISSSSTSSSS.

He's one of those characters that reads like he has a lot of thought put into him, and so I'll just keep staring at my screen going 'JAD DID SOMETHING WHAT NOW??' in fascination whenever he moves.

Eek, a Thistle! :)

Thistle! Thistle makes me d'aw, baw, and do both at once. He's got a lot of history, and you can feel that when you RP with him. His own complexity with what has happened to him-- his balance of who he is, which gets subsumed into the person he follows-- is amazing.

Watching him adjust and adapt is pretty incredible. Thistle is intensely compelling, and your ability to write him will forever make me go \o/.

Thistle is an elaborate puzzle, in my opinion. Right from the start you can tell that there's something off but what exactly isn't immediately obvious. I think it's a show of strong writing that the Thistle Paradox is met with intrigue rather than frustration. So many people could never have pulled it off without getting a fryingpan over the back of the head.

Thistle is the most adorable little thing and can be really friendly when the mood strikes him.

Vorrick: a bastion of wry sense and middle fingers. Whether he's teaching the tome how to properly care for a pet rock or warning against trying to cook and eat hats, he's always hilarious and fun to read.

And then we encounter the twitchy paranoia which is so well-written and just makes me want to present him with a basket of love and hugs.

vorrick April 9 2012, 00:18:20 UTC
Must also tack on that I adore Laz. He's so sincere in his desire to help other people and it's something that I think a lot of the tome doesn't even know how to START handling. He's just a lot of fun to watch go =D at the everyone, even when they're >8[ in return.

Going to second the anon under me in that you also neatly step around the stereotypes that a lot of players fall prey to when they try and write a handicapped character. That's no easy feat in and of itself.

I feel the need to write about all your characters. This is not a good desire, but fuck it ( ... )

About to raid so I will come back and COMMENT ALL THE THINGS afterward, but here!

Norrien Flamewreath, Rynlan Dawnslight, Sere Azuredawn and Ceirin Brightstone. And technically Erenar Sunseeker, Neglected Alt DK(tm).

Norrien is just such an un-elf! I love him for that!

Rynlan has these funny little fits when he reacts to things that make me laugh so hard.

All the characters.

Norrien is so fun to RP with. He's clever, cavalier, and chill. Yet he's got a million layers to him-- his Brightmorn heritage, his human parts, his relationship with Krestin. He's amazing to RP with in twitter, and then the more you get to know about the character, the more you want to RP. I love the dynamic you RP with the human side. It's interesting, realistic, and makes me \o/.

Rynlan is baw and frightening and makes me D: He just brings out so many ~feelings~ that make me ;^; and 8|. I can't wait to see where his plotline ends up.

Sere! Seresnake is best snake. Or spider. Her writing and thoughts are so cold and calculated, and watching her navigate the project and interact with all these people-- some with agendas, others without-- is fascinating. I can't imagine the amount of effort it must take to write her in scenes, or even in the project. And then for her to do crack and make it logical and calculating? Is amazing. You're an awesome writer.

Ceirin is best mage. I can't wait to see more of her. <3
