Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cool. I'll give it and all the other crappy art I promised people a shot sometime this week.

*points* ha, I'm questing to be a Lemur too. Don't worry about how popular it is, that doesn't really matter unless you really want donations or something, maybe praise? I dunno. But as for your character, here's a few things I noticed:

1. You throw around the crazy angle first getting into her personality. You should research that. From what I'm reading it sounds like you want to make her Bipolar or have Borderline Personality Disorder. That's all well and good, but just make you say that. It would explain why she's so random at times or has those extreme mood swings.

2. Why was she such a rebel? Perhaps because she had a bland homelife it made her extreme at school?

3. It doesn't seem, to me anyway, that that one occurence would make her withdraw even if it was gradual. Ususally when a person's personality shifts that much it's because of something bigger; a death, an illness, a really big accident like a house fire or a car crash, something like that.

One thing I liked is that you made her so normal and that she seeks solitude, so that's what draws her to the island. That's a very good notion, and one I can see happening for her.

Anyway, hope my ranting helps.

Thanks!

Okay, Jessica is really not clinically insane; she keeps to herself so much that only a few have even noticed her in her extremely 'crazy' state. But I'll do some research and find an official name for what she is, or something close to it.

And the rebellious part; she was just like that. She had very little self-control and was very intelligent and hyper, all that together caused her to rebel. But than you for the observation; I'll definitely give a little more detail there.

I think the main reason it took so little to set her off was that she wasn't entirely sane in the first place. And when she was so alone more problems started to develop, she sought even more solitude, and it just built up from there. I can think of another thing that I can put in there that would make things flow a little better and make things more believable.

Thank you, again for taking the time to go through my thread!

*too lazy to go through to find the threads* Do you have a direct link? I can give some input.

Quote so that link will work

What about Toffee?

Here's my quick question-- I'm trying to go for a bit more diversity. Most of the cultures I usually try to go with are already established, though. Anjali is Indian, and Pyroth and Colche both have sort of Native American ties-- Japanese characters can be fun but are cliche in these sorts of situations. I can't think where to go from here-- I liked the idea of Kaye' being Native American, but I could switch her easily to just about any other culture.

My question-- what sort of cultures would you guys be interested in seeing? I could possibly go an Egyptian route, but there are some cultures that I'm not comfortable with playing, so I'd like a lot of suggestions to pick from. ^^

Australian could work. I don't think there are a lot of big zoos or horses amongst the Eskimo people, though. XD. And I'm not sure I could comfortably play an African character, given I've never really done much research into their culture and would probably miss out on a lot of important subtleties.
