Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.

I love these memes. I actually have two muselists at the moment, since I'm in the middle of switching over... Which, more accurately means "I was going to switch over, ( Read more... )

Oenone! Please~

lyrapoeia February 8 2011, 04:27:32 UTC

OENONE okay crazypants ahoy.

1. PARIS PARIS PARIS and not just because that's all she thinks about. It's really important to keep in mind what Paris she's situated around. Because she varies a lot by whose Paris she's faced with in general. If the Paris is more toward the selfish, arrogant end then she's more hurt, wounded, and angry. If the Paris of the time is more personable and such, then she has to switch over in my mind to being more kicked puppy and sad prophetess. It... Works in my head. Somehow. Ish.

2. She's a mountain nymph. She loves nature, green grass, fresh air. Country farms and mountain slopes are her home. Goats are like the best thing ever.

3. Oenone was a mother, so as creepy as she gets about her former husband, her grown up son is also always in the back of her mind. She was a single mom!

4. Prophesy, she has it. She knew her relationship was doomed from the start, and yet still went into it. She plays with the future, which tends to drive most people a bit 'round the bend /coughCassandra5. As odd as it ( ... )

Thanatos aaaaaaaaand Helios (and version~)

lyrapoeia February 9 2011, 03:55:55 UTC

THANNY FIRST.

1. SRS. Death is serious business, so Thanatos defaults to taking things very seriously. He can joke, he understands and uses humor easily himself, but his default setting is lineface. :|

2. Peace~ Though he's often used as just Death in general, when other death deities get involved he's Peaceful death. So he's not often an angry or violent person, he leaves that to his sister(s).

3. "HATEFUL TO GODS AND MEN." He's kinda... Bitter. Everyone loooooves all the Olympians, but he's the most hated god. Not even the other gods really like him, reportedly. He buries it so fucking deep, but down there in his black, uncaring heart he's got that bitterness. But hey, he's got family and the Underworld so who gives a fuck what the Above Grounders think ( ... )

I could see him being nice (besides the wings bit)-he doesn't, yanno, violently murder people left and right.

XDD butterflies? That part surprises me (in a gooood way)

lyrapoeia February 10 2011, 00:34:23 UTC

It ties in with 'peaceful death.' I think he's allowed to be nice in his own special way. Nice to those that deserve it, or those that earn it. He's usually linefacey and doesn't care one way or another, but there is that little bit that says 'okay, we can care now.'

Butterflies and cats, yes. Cats are very often tied with death, right down to that one death-predicting cat a bit ago that everyone was obsessed with for a while. And butterflies were thought to be souls by the later (?) ideas. Hence why Psyche often had butterfly wings when she was depicted (yes, she's Roman, but it's a point) and Thanatos was sometimes shown with a downturned torch and butterflies around him ( ... )

I dunno what you write yet because I'm a NEW fan. *is sad* I'm gathering lots of Greek mythology which makes me super happy. Favorite character? Ooh, no, I know: most tragic character you can think of. And then the five things. I'm cheating aren't I? I'm totally cheating.

windowniche October 18 2011, 21:48:24 UTC

.......................................... you're cheating. most tragic character? D: BUT BASICALLY ALL I LOVE IS TRAGEDY. but yeah, i used to be in a (few) greek mythology-based roleplay(s), so a lot of the characters that i write are from those, and the rest are basically from other mythologies around the world.

ummmmmmm.

i will have to get back to you on this. khbkhjb.

nyogu October 19 2011, 01:30:29 UTC

YOU DO WORLD MYTHOLOGY TOO. Tell me about it. You should totally get back to me, lol.
