Welcome to Gaia! ::

Perhaps, but friendly characters would be more realistic to reality. Think, young children, new to a school, they'd be looking for friends not enemies. There are usually a few oddballs in the mix but for the most part people enjoy to talk to eachother. With socially inept characters with emotional problems who prefer to be by themselves and dislike being with a lot of people or thinking they are better, it limits Role-Play extensively. People are just trying to be the 'silent and cool' character, but sadly, in Role-Play, people come in hordes trying to create this type of character instead of completely unique characters. Not to say that all of the more anti-social characters are the same, no, but with that personality, it becomes frustrating trying to find the unique personality for that particular character. Though, seeing the group grow and change their personlities into unique characters would be quite entertaining, but as for now, I find the similarities rather drab. Now, as for Shisei, he brings his own flare. Being from a odd and unique clan makes it acceptable for a character to feel out of the norm. If you are told he has a similar personality to Sasuke, then they haven't taken in the reasons surrounding the reasons for the things they have in common.

I'm going to disagree with both of you on that. Although my total rp experience is much less than anyone else's here the one thing I find that people do is create characters in their image. At least first time characters. The characters end up silent and cool not because they want to, but in real life some people don't just go up and chat away with others. How many times do you just randomly go up to a stranger and start chatting under no pretense?

The way how to get characters to speak is by motive. That's where story comes in. Cause if you think about it in Naruto there are a lot of anti-social characters, but there are ways for them to still interact. That's the difference between an rp and real life. You can make a situation in which they come together. Realistic and reality is fun, but also boring at times. That's why there should be all types of characters.

Also on that young children to new school thing, at least from my experiences while the children are not looking for enemies they don't necessarily become friends until a situation puts them together.

Haha i agree with you Katz, usually my mains are very similar to me. Usually i also name my mains Shadow, simply as a nod towards them being my Shadow haha!

I don't think you're going off topic at all. When it comes to character creation a lot of things need to be considered for the character and the person behind the character. As for staying the purpose of rping is to make friends and communication. That's what makes it different from playing an online shooting game like Halo or even some Mmorpgs. Well that's my assumption. There are certain ones here who know more about the Mmorpgs communication between others than I. Actually that's where I fail as an rper. My brain is more inclined to do like what I'd usually do in one of my novels and/or rpg games. My basis of what I'm saying though is you can make any character interact with another at least for a short while depending on situation.

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I believe Shisei is one of the most difficult to interact with in all rp's. Other characters are hard, but I think they tend to break down to some degree after a while. It's just a matter of setting it up right ^_^.

Zineal: Thanks for the agreement. I thought i was just babbling nonsense lol.

@ Prince - ...I didn't know you needed a partner... =p But I already wrote up my second and I think it'll be equally fun interacting with Shinichi and Senritsu. ^^ Oh, yeah...Yautja about the recruiting classmates grand delusion...Haruka will be the type to show you her fist as an answer... She hates having people rule her. ;D

@ Katz - Hmn...my second character will be 180 degree polar opposite of my dear Yuu-chan. She's neither sweet nor cute at all. The epitome of meanness...she did get more of her father's traits.

...I think there's a chance Haru might get kicked out of the Academy... o_O Depending on how well Yuki takes children with bullying tendencies...? Y.Y

Smooth, Lulu.

He will fit in well with Kane!

@Phoenixmirage: Tanu is the worst bully EVER (well was) and she was completely fine in the academy XD
What clan is Haruka? Or is she clanless?

@Katz: GODDAMN ARE YOU RIGHT SHISEI IS just so... discouraging emo

@Baylu: Oh, dear sweatdrop

So Eifer. Do you want to tell us all a little about Jess? heh heh heh

Kouri: Shisei was never meant to be easy ^_^;

Pheonix: Heh. She's quite the sadist. If I had to compare your character to anyone from the naruto verse she'd probably be the Gaara type. Although I don't know if she's going to be able to beat Shisei in meanness. Heh it'll be interesting though.

Karite: So technically the Jio's have produced the best Thief and first puppet master. ^_^. The Orochi shall produce.... perhaps one of the greatest villains of all time. And a forbidden jutsu user like none before!

Sorri: Make sure your turn that gator into fresh shoes, like you just came out of Florida.
