Hello RP'ers, I'm here to discuss a something that is greatly important when you roleplay; making an original, interesting character.
OK, first things first. Your character's NAME.
Overused names like Sakura, Dante, Kain, Cloud, Yuki and so on are just screaming "My character is bland and unoriginal!" Try thinking of names that aren't as used often, even common names like Calvin, or Trish. Websites for baby names or learning the meanings behind names are a great help.
And...okay, most of us may be under the impression that Japanese is a pretty cool language. However, Japanese-sounding names, whether first or last, are just plain awkward if they really don't match your character's background. For example, in a ToS setting, it pretty much only makes sense for characters having to do with Mizuho to have such names. If you've got an elf who's lived in Heimdall for all his or her life with a name like Suzuki Murayama...yeah...something just isn't quite right there at first glance.
OK, next up is your character's age.
Depending on what kind of RP you're in, you can be very creative with this, but don't be ridiculous like having a 3 year-old human fighting an evil robot army or a 5299 year old pretty pretty princess with laser vision. Sure its funny, but it will get old and awkward quick.
Basically, if your character looks younger or older than they really are (especially the former), you must be able to back it up in a way that makes sense. This part is pretty subjective, and it's always a good idea to pitch your ideas to your fellow roleplayers and get some feedback on how to flesh that out.

Next up, your character's race.
Depending on what kind of RP you are in, you can have many different kinds of races, but choosing the same race as everyone else is boring. However, choosing a race that isn't even part of yoru RP is borderline god-modding (like having an Alien in a medieval RP). So try to be unique, but not break from your RP's barriers. If you want to try to deviate from the norm while staying within those barriers, again, it is a wise move to pitch ideas to your fellow roleplayers and gain some advice regarding that.
Alrighty, how about your character's appearance?
Anime-style is all the rage nowadays but sometimes being realistic is more original than having green hair with purple streaks. It's ok to have your character stand out a bit, but if you make them have three sets of wings, tons of tattoos, heterochromic eyes and long flowing blue hair you're going to be entering a territory called Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu Territory.
Anyway, sometimes when developing your character you may draw them, or use an avatar maker to make them. One thing that's common is people using another artist's drawings as their characters design, though this is usually alright...try not to make a habit of it. Be a little more creative. If you're not confident about your drawing skills, again, at the very least use an avatar maker like the one from Tektek.org.
On a side note, a BIG NO-NO is to blatantly take a familiar character from another series' exact appearance and pass it off as your own character's appearance.
Your character's clothes are what help make them unique, but you must make sure your clothes are also appropriate for the RP. For example, using the Organization XIII coat or clothing from an already existing series is NOT recommended unless it actually belongs to the series that the RP is about, like armor or a type of clothing.

OK, now that we got the appearance done, let's work on your character's personality.
To make a truly believable character they have to have REAL flaws like impatience, being full of themselves, having obsessions, greedy, trying too hard, or being cowardly. They should be flaws that have real consequences for the character in his or her life, but not to the point that they are emo. Also think of the things that make your character fun, try not to make them extremes like stupidly naive, super emo, completely unlikeable, instant problem-solver, or sugarcoated goody-goody. Those are usually the characters people tend not to like.
Your character is important, but not to the point that they're stealing the spotlight from everyone else. YOUR CHARACTER SHOULD NOT ALWAYS BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. When you try to pass off your character as "super-cool, awesome, and impressive" in front of everyone, it really sticks out and shows that you're just trying to show off. It can even be perceived as really annoying.
Another thing is conflict. Though your character may be civil with his or her party members, he or she doesn't have to like them. Having conflict between characters helps make it realistic. Nobody can get along with everyone and vice-versa.
Also, while you may be inspired by a character you like from another game/anime/manga/etc., beware of delving into carbon-copy territory. Borrowing one or two traits from a character won't seem too conspicuous. Three is really pushing it; any more than that and your character almost practically is the character you were inspired by. It's not a really good thing to look exactly like another character from another series; it shows that you lack originality.

Next up is abilities:
One fun thing about making a character is coming up with what kind of abilities they have. However, coming up with too many or too ridiculous abilities can make you once again enter Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu Territory, you should also make sure those abilities make sense for the kind of RP you are in.
If you still want to stretch things a little and add a lot of abilities to your character...the key word here is BALANCE. Say, have one set of abilities as the default for your character and a second set accessible only when your character activates a certain form or mode. For example, certain spells that can only be used when in Overlimit. (However, don't have your character practically going into Overlimit or similar all the time just because you wanna show off these moves. That's just cheap.) It also helps that when in Overlimit or the special mode/form your character accesses, his or her default abilities are rendered inaccessible.
And anything of "epic" proportions---attacks designed to decimate large amounts of enemies (if not affect everything on the field) or deal intense damage over a wide area of effect (if not the entire battlefield)---that's usually Mystic Arte material. In some way, there should be some compensation---perhaps your character pulls off said Arte when he or she is close to being downed, or your character also suffers substantially whenever he or she pulls off said Arte.
You should also make sure you character's abilities can't solve every problem that comes up, this is god-modding and being a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu.
Also, while it's okay to be inspired by abilities from other series, do not just import them as is into a radically different setting. For example...Personae have absolutely NO place in the universe of Tales of Symphonia! No matter how you try to tweak it, it'll be obvious that they just don't look natural there!

Now for their background; how they fit in the RP world they're in.
Make sure your character's past isn't too similar to a canon characters past (example: having a past similar in every aspect to Kratos'). Again, beware of delving into carbon-copy territory; it shows lack of originality.
Also make sure your character's past is BELIEVABLE for the RP you are in. For example: you can't be a spaceship pilot in medieval times, unless the RP incorporates futuristic technology in some way. If you're in an anime/game/etc.-related RP, try to stick to its canon and think, "Could such a thing really happen in this environment?" If you still think so, try to iron out the details by asking yourself, "How exactly could it happen?"
Try to avoid making your character related to a canon character (like being Link's younger brother Chet, etc.) unless the RP allows relatives or descendants. Otherwise, that's just screaming Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu.

Krazy mentioned abilities. I'm gonna expand on that with the whole concept of character battling!
Weapons!: Let's start with the foundation of how your character battles. The weapon. Honestly, your character can use anything they want, as long as it makes sense that it works. Genis used a Kendama. Be creative! Of course, there's nothing wrong with a simple sword and shield, but make it your own! That leads us to the next section...
Skills!: This can range from buffs, to physical attacks, to magic. If you use a weapon that's the same as another character, OC or canon, try to vary the move set. if your character's got two katanas, like Lloyd, don't just take all the known sword techs. Take a few, and then make up your own! Just don't make them too ridiculous, okay? If you make one that's powerful, make sure it has some sort of negative side effect or large cost.
Skill Names!: This deserves its own section. You can tell a lot about a character from the things they shout during battle...if they shout the names of their skills at all, that is. A more over-the-top character, for example, might have skills that sound more destructive than they are, while a more subdued character might have skills that have more serene names that hide the true strength of the skill. ToS has already shown how effective this sort of thing can be, from Regal's skills showing an air of elegance, hinting at his status as a noble, to Presea using skills with terrifying names...while speaking in a monotone voice and the skills themselves being simply modified axe swings. Even Richter, in the sequel, tends to use the base template of [verb]ing [season]. Sometimes, with original characters, subtlety is your best friend.
Elements!: Okay, here's how I see this. If your character doesn't have an element, it can have moves that use them. But only one or two per element, and don't overdo it. If your character DOES have an element attached to them, then you can have several skills pertaining to that element...but I don't want to see a fire-inclined warrior spamming water attacks.
Doing Battle!: The basic format for this is to write your attacks as attempts. And be honest about battles. If you think your character isn't able to dodge something, they're gonna get hit. And also make sure that your character isn't invincible. That's called godmodding, m'friend, and no one wants to RP with someone who godmods. It's no fun. So don't go pulling stunts like invincible armor or having 5 rings that block all the elements. It's better when everyone's equal.
Feel free to propose skills and weapon loadouts to your fellow RPers! Someone might be able to offer insight into making a skill more balanced or interesting. Also, sometimes it can be hard to realize when you're going too far in making your character powerful. Having people around to call you out on that can be very helpful!

Hello, this is your Captain speaking. XD Lame jokes aside, I'd like to expand upon some canon elements to keep in mind when creating characters for the Tales of Symphonia setting. But don't quote me on them and by all means, feel free to point out what I've got incorrect.
EXSPHERES
Here are a couple of great reads regarding their background:
Exspheres, Cruxis Crystals, and the Angelus Project
Lifeless Beings and You!
I have a differing theory regarding Key Crests contradictory to the one presented on the Strong Tomorrow site, though. I always just thought they magically melded into the skin.
Perhaps you may be toying with the idea of having a character with a Cruxis Crystal, but that's pretty risky territory. As canon shows us, Cruxis Crystals are not exactly free handouts. If not related to the line of Chosen at all, how would they have obtained one? You may think up some convoluted way for your character to possess one, but before finalizing it, it would be best to pitch your idea before a few people and get some feedback.
RACES
A well-written rundown of the races of Aselia.
The only three races that exist prominently in the world of Tales of Symphonia are Humans, Elves, and Half-Elves. If you want to stretch those boundaries a little, it is advisable to pitch your ideas in front of other people before jumping into an RP. I'm not trying to be restrictive of race, it's just that canon only notes the existence of those three races the most. The general question I'm getting at here is: If your character is not one of the three races specified, how did his or her race begin existing in Aselia?
Something to keep in mind if you have a character that's an Elf or Half-Elf: The maximum lifespan of Elves and Half-Elves is 1000 years. It is said that Half-Elven children and young adults age at the same rate as Humans (source). From that, it can be assumed that their slowed aging begins once they're through with young adulthood.
On the subject of Dwarves, characters of that race are also likely. It's just that the entire population of Dwarves lives underground, so if you're looking to take up a Dwarf character, you must give them a reason why they go aboveground.
You may think the Angels are a race to consider playing, but that's virtually a no-go. Why? Angels are not exactly a race, but a state of being that can be achieved by possessing a Cruxis Crystal. And as stated in the Exspheres section, those are not exactly free handouts. So the only Angels that can exist at this point are Kratos, Yuan, Colette, and Zelos.
Demons, while a little more plausible, are a little iffy too. As we find out, Mana is toxic to them. As pointed out once:Quote: Actually, Mana doesn't exist in Niflheim at all. Remember the book? You had to visit the fires where the Mana was stored. Mana hurts demons, so they don't have Mana. Actually, its the exact opposite. Mana flows from the world into the Ginnungagap to act as a door and prevent Demons from entering. Decus has pointed out that some demons do dwell in Aselia, but are nearly powerless due to the Mana that flows through it.
I have to admit, I'm a little confused on the concept of who can wield magic, so I'm unsure whether or not magic-wielding human characters are plausible. I was under the impression that one had to have elven blood in them in order to cast magic (or at least wear an Exsphere to develop some kind of special ability), while I've heard others believe that anyone can learn magic if they study it earnestly. If anyone can clarify this for me, by all means, please do. XD;;
Healing Artes (like First Aid and such, Regal's healing techs, and Mint Adenade's skill set) and the like are different from magic. As stated somewhere in Phantasia, they're a "divine power" humans can use. They depend on chi rather than mana.
UPDATE: This article clears this up veeeeeeeeeery nicely. Yup.
To sum it up:
● Element manipulation magic can only naturally be wielded by those with Elven blood. For the record, there exists a loophole—pure-blooded Humans can wield this kind of magic after ingesting a rock called Aionis (which is what Kratos and Zelos did), however, it can only be mined on Derris-Kharlan. After the dissolution of Cruxis, it's more likely that there's no more supply of Aionis left on Aselia whatsoever.
● The healing spells that Raine, Kratos, and Zelos use are also exclusive to Elven blood (with the latter two being exceptions for reasons already stated). Marta could use them probably because of the Centurion's Core she held—just because it's fake doesn't mean it didn't hold some sort of power. (Post-game, she probably can't use them anymore.)
● Artes like Demon Fang and Beast are likely a result of manipulating mana or energy from within oneself. Any race could do this.
● It is also likely that Regal's healing artes work on the same concept previously stated. Additionally, they are exclusive to his style of martial artes.
● Wearing an Exsphere does NOT enable one to use magic. It only enhances one's physical strength and abilities.
---
Centurions besides Tenebrae and Aqua...are open to interpretation, making them sort of "half OCs", I suppose. But as far as things go, it does NOT make sense to go and create new Centurions (unless otherwise specified for certain RPs). It was by the will of Ratatosk that they came into being, so none of them would go about creating children and whatnot. Also, while you may establish a physical form for them, you pretty much should keep to the names:
Light: Lumen
Wind: Ventus
Fire: Ignis
Ice: Glacies
Lightning: Tonritus
Earth: Solum
That's about all I can think up for now. If anything else comes to mind, this post will surely be updated.

Bit of an update here, I found an interesting quiz that can help determine how "Mary-Sue" your character is.
http://www.springhole.net/quizzes/marysue.htm
Now, as with any internet-based quiz like this, take your results with a grain of salt. However, if your character DOES make it past 50 somehow (Although Azura thinks 30 is when you should start worrying as well! Although technically her OC...well...Azura...DID get a 32... ...S-shut up. >:T -bludgeons over the head with a lead baseball bat- Owww...the hell? Fine then! -engages in epic sword battle-), you should REALLY consider making some changes. I hope you make good use of the link. Fedora Warrior...OUT!Krazy: Whew! I only got a 20, I was worried my character was kinda sue-ish xd Rei: That test is neat, but I think my personal bias might have put my score too low.
I think Fye Suzurei is a little higher then 14. > - >
Also, to the aid of people out there, a little Mary/Gary sue is alright, if you use the character properly! Don't be alarmed if your score is up there, as long as it isn't too far up there, okay? If you think your pushing walls, ask your fellow roleplayers and people you respect/trust and they should help you work out some negatives for your character! <-- This, probably mentioned somewhere in the above already. Dude, is EVERYONE gonna hijack my post? XD

Hi folks, your Captain here with another bit of an update. Now that we've gone through as much detail as we can about making characters, how about we cover the subject of Roleplaying Etiquette?
As I was doing some Spring Cleaning today, I found...quite a gem buried in a thread about a couple of years old. I believe it carries great points on what you/your proposed original characters SHOULD NOT be.
RPers, I present to you the List of Munchkins. xd
"Munchkin" is a term for persons who are total n00bs at roleplaying, who like to play in an overly aggressive and competitive manner, therefore causing much annoyance. And this list...actually originated here on Gaia Online. biggrin Here is a little detail on where it all began. As evidenced by the reposting of this list here, it's expanded since its creation.AimbottersAn aimbotter is a role player who has ridiculously unrealistic accuracy and unsurprisingly never misses (or almost never.) This is not only limited to firearms but also to any projectile such as mystically throwing a shard of metal into someones ear lobe from a few hundred metres off. Example: Quote: Billy: My two pet hummingbirds fly around me. Ben: From a hundred metres away I shoot behind my back with a 9mm pistol and one of the hummingbirds heads fly off, I then spin around a peg my gun directly into the other bird. The most annoying role playing crime, the player who thinks they're a God, they either never take a hit, or when they do, they take zero damage. They also tend to incorporate many other RP etiquette violations, which is just frustrating. Example: Quote: Billy: I slash at your neck with my battle axe. Ben: The axe breaks in half on my seemingly normal neck. And I do not receive a scratch. IDKFA-ers are basically spies, never without a weapon and ammo, and with totally unrealistic gadgets or items on their body or person, which are also unrelated to the character. Such as a laser pen on Solid Snake. Or James Bond and a condom. Example: Quote: Billy: I raise a gun to your forehead. Ben: I tap my watch and it turns into a magnet which pulls your gun right out of your hand before a laser cannon emerges from my sunglasses along with two tactical nukes. Sometimes allowed in certain RPs. If the RP isn't specifically about invincible deities and such, a simple rule is that if the strengths aren't counterbalanced with relatively equivalent weaknesses (or if the reasoning behind the phenomenal cosmic powers isn't appropriately explained), you're dealing with a Twink. Example: Quote: Billy: Having knocked you down, I give you my hand to help you to your feet. Ben: My skin turns you to stone. The people who 'balance' their characters by having a massive but irrelevant weakness and massive powers. Example: Quote: Billy: After you beating me to a pulp with your super magic armor I ask you what weakness's it has. Ben: Uhh, if you hit both armpits at the same time with a wet towel. Named after that television psychic. Using out of character knowledge to get an edge. Example: Quote: Billy: (( My character is secretly a fire mage even though he shows no sign of it in his appearance. )) Ben: Turns on a high pressured hose. "Die you fire b***h!" McFly as in the movie Back to the Future! That should explain itself. If not, this basically means doing things in hindsight. Example: Quote: Billy: Now that your force field is down I can run inside your base! Ben: Um.... um.... there is also a super secret second force field that is twice as strong as the last one! I didn't say anthing about it before or even mention anything like it because it was so secret, not because I just made it up! They interfere with things that only the creator of the thread should be capable of usually to do with the environment, for instance self destructing a base, only the leader should have such permission and codes. 'Tis a no no. Example: Quote: Billy: "My bar has been sieged by evil ninjas!" Ben: Presses a self destruct button that I always knew was hidden under the painting of an orange. Billy: ((There is no self destruct button!!)) Dictating what another person's character does or how they react without their consent, extremely irritating. Example: Quote: Billy: I walk into the room and sit down at the bar. Ben: I smash you in the head with a bottle and you run screaming from the room before falling down the stairs and killing yourself. One who makes overly long posts about nothing, that have no real need for being that long. Example: Quote: Billy: I sit down under a tree. Ben: I sit next to Billy under a tree. My knee scuffed jeans gently padded down on the lofty grass at the bottom of the old oak tree, whose barks was a very light brown. My beige shirt which had a faint rip at the bottom left corner gently swayed in the breeze of a north easterly wind. This reminded me of how when I we were young boys we used to play together. Oh, those were the days, we never had a care in the world, except for when Bradley got the chicken pox and we thought we would turn into chickens! Oh how red my face was when I realized that we wouldn't after all. Basically the largest idiot in a place, who accuses others of breaking rules when they are guilty themselves. Example: Quote: Billy: I slash at you as hard as I can with my sword. Ben: I catch your sword and snap it in half before punching you in the face causing your nose to bleed. Billy: ((You can't just catch my sword and make me bleed like that!)) Ben: ((Yes I can! You can't swing a sword without moving forward and ever body knows that I'm uber strong and can snap swords, so you were always going to get punched, and if you think you could have moved that quickly you would be godmodding! n00b!! )) In reference to the fairy tale, "The Elves and the Shoemaker". A form of puppet mastery that usually involves the lack of another character's role players presence, it is not a very common problem. And usually only a bit of a joke. Example: Quote: Billy: ((I have to go eat dinner. See you guys later!)) Ben: Notcing that Billy stopped moving I walk up to him and shave off both his eyebrows before taking off his clothes and taking numerous photos which I send to playgirl. Someone who alters an RP to suit their needs, usually when they don't like the RP itself. Example: Quote: Billy: Considering this is a Medieval RP, I take my time as my illiterate and somewhat retarded peasant, wandering around te town boredly. Ben: Not particuarly liking the looks of this RP, I decide to spice things up a bit by deploying my Iron Maiden robots, giant metal skull crushing machines of doom, which incinerate all in their path! Billy: (( This is a MEDIEVAL RP! )) Ben: (( Not any more b***h. )) Someone who does far too much in a single post, most in-fight posts should only consist of a couple seconds. Otherwise its almost verging into puppetmastery with the lack of the other characters reaction. Example: Quote: Billy: I shoot at you twice with still six bullets remaining in my gun. Ben: I jump behind a table to escape your shots, and then I get back up and calmly make a cup of tea before walking up to you and slapping you in the face. A character that is basically the opposite of itself, and therefore extremely unlikely to exist. Such as a pacifist priest warlord. They just don't make sense. Example: Quote: Billy: In this roleplay based in 1840, Texas, I am a cowboy. Ben: I am a young boy who was trained in Tibet in the ancient art of Kung Jujitsu and also how to shoot every kind of gun there is. And I ride up to you on a motorbike. The people who arbitrarily declare themselves the winner with instant death attacks. Example: Quote: Billy: I look up at the stars. Ben: I run up to you and grab your hand pulling you over before stabbing you several times in the spine with a large fork. Aimbotter and Puppetmaster combined, a person who tells you how he hit you and how his hit connected. Sometimes it is allowed, provided there is consent on both sides. Example: Quote: Billy: I take a swing at you with a bat. Ben: I grab the bat from your hands, spin around and smash your knee caps backwards. So named after such things as the Xenomorphs from Aliens, the Klendathu bugs from Star ship Troopers, and the teeming hoards they generally are. These hoards are always fearless, will battle until dead, and quite often have some excessive weapons and/or armor. Basically, it's the guys who have too many NPCs. Example: Quote: Billy: I wait in the meadow for my opponent to arrive. Ben: I see Billy and then whistle and seven thousand of my super ninja warriors appear from the shadows to kill you. A character that apparently was everywhere in the past and did everything possible that could benefit themselves. Implying that an action was taken without giving fair warning. Example: Quote: Billy: I run through the forest, weaving and cutting through trees. Ben: You fall down a pit I dug earlier knowing exactly where you would run. Named after the Sailor Moon villain, whose character has undergone the most drastic changes from version to version of the story. The people who alter their character as needed for the situation. Example: Quote: Billy: After revealing your true vampire form I stab at your heart with a wooden stake. Ben: The stake hits a my chest and splinters because I am also a robot! The people who quite readily attack others' threads, but then stop all attacks on their own thread. Example: Quote: Billy: "You burnt down my bar now its time for you to pay!" Ben: My hundred auto turrets activate, as well as a magical pulse that paralyzes all living things. And you stand in the middle of a highly dangerous mine field. or Ben: -ignores Billy's post- The knowledge downloaders, the omniscience wizards. Those people who never learned anything but know everything. The people who gain abilities as they need them with no prior exposure. Example: Quote: Billy: After a life being brought up hunting with my father I can use a knife and shoot quite well. Ben: Growing up alone I became tough. Now I know twenty martial arts and how to fly a helicopter even though your the first person I've ever met. The people who pick-up things that spawn from seemingly nowhere. Like what happens in that FPS called Quake. Example: Quote: Billy: At the sight of the full moon I turn into a werewolf and charge at you howling for blood. Ben: Even though I was swimming and in just a towel, I pull a gun loaded with a silver bullet out from under my towel and shoot at your chest. Those characters which mysteriously appear in different areas with no explanation due to poor writing. Example: Quote: Billy: Sitting on the roof as everyone else sits inside I sigh thinking about my dead father. Ben: I hear Billy sigh and ask him if he is alright and pat him on the back. Billy: ((Dude you were just inside. A whole story was blocking us. )) The people who pull-in elements that were approved in an unrelated RP. Example: Quote: Billy: Given that this RP's technology base is medieval, I happily drive my cart to the market to buy some maggot-ridden meat. Ben: Too late! I already got there in my Gundam and blew up everything with my insanely overpowered weapons! And don't start whining, because my Gundam's already pre-approved in the "This Is Not a Medieval Technology Base RP" thread. The people who use an existing persona and only RP them when it helps. Example: Quote: Billy: In this Fantastic Four RP, I'll be Ben, the gruff rock-man with a heart of gold. Ben: I'll be Reed Richards, the living sex toy who hunts down innocent women to subdue with his incredible flexibility!

Hello there all, I've got another bit of an update today. emotion_c8 This here is a quiz draws some inspiration from the previous quiz that was featured, but it is focused more on giving an idea of how your fellow RPers may perceive you in relation to the character(s) you play.
The Role-Player Test by etherealism on deviantART
Have you ever looked back at your RPing experience and realized it perhaps wasn't exactly what you were hoping for? Maybe this quiz will help you figure out why.
Again, take this all with a grain of salt. However, I've nothing more to say about the scoring. I feel the advice is pretty sound. 3nodding I've tried it with one character and got a 17, but then again, she's one I don't use a lot. I'll try this with a couple of the characters I mainly use, and check back here.
If you other mods have some input about this too, feel free to have another edit party on this post. xd Rhone: "Huh...11.."Hunter: "Not bad! I got an 8!""What??? How'd YOU get an 8?""I got points taken off for being fat and stupid! =P ""..."Azura: "Hm, I'm the one who ended up with a 17." smile Azriel: "I got a 13, even when taking into account that Chiaro and Oscuro are parts of me." emotion_c8 Zaul: "...I got 8. Eheheh. My money-stupidness contributed ta that, surprisin'ly."  Eloysio: "...""Eli? Wh-what'd you get...?" emotion_sweatdrop "...25."  other three: 25?! eek "I get such a high score for being a psychic. I suppose I should have some of my abilities scrapped..."
