Antagonism

[yodathedark]

The point has been raised that I have a lot of antagonistic characters. I'm not sure I agree, but I want to do a run down anyway.

ETA: I'll be fair, the comment was "characters with antagonist views".

I don't really speak with your characters enough to know which are antagonistic. I mean, Charlie quite clearly is, and comes across that way. You certainly didn't hold back at all with him.

The only other one I've spoken to was Laine, and he didn't really come across as an antagonist type at all. Just...well, a guy. You know? People are like that. They hold grudges, don't care that much about people who aren't their friends, want to sort out other things. I didn't get the impression he was being actively hostile towards everyone, just one.

I would not say antagonistic as much as stubborn (except for Charlie). This happens in real life. People have different views, and conflict ensues

Your characters and how you play them is up to you. I had people moan about one of my characters in OWOD, but I had fun. Take care and I did like Spook as a character.

Your antagnonism is weak when met with the sheer magnitude of mine own ;-)

I think that characters who have strong opinions are more fun to play and play with. Whilst I know you've said you won't stop with Charlie; I don't believe you won't consider other people's enjoyment.

Snaggle's hugely antagonistic and yet has a loyal fan base IC and OOC. I don't see them being an issue unless other people make it one.
