This is BY REQUEST ONLY.
If you don't see the player of a character post "hey what do you think about XYZ of my character?" then don't tell them what you think about XYZ. XD
Other than that, thsi is for expanding characters. See if people know anything about their DNA that should affect them, or maybe discuss how real their character seems. Anything from the parents to the kids, whatever you want. X3

To get this thing kicked off, I'll throw up Simon in all his glory. XD
I feel like I'm only recently getting some depth in on him, and this is what's in my mind at the moment:
Initially he was born just biting things to "feel" them, but ofcourse.. that never went over well. XD and he wound up getting that habit "beaten" out of him. Knocked off every time with a knock to the gils or whatever just to get him to let go. And after biting another kid and getting a lecture on how he nearly Died, Simon developed a fear of biting anyone.
But he still has an extremely short temper, mostly due to his DNA. Smaller brain, normal sized... feck forgot the name. XD Oh well. The "lawl anger!" part is normal sized, for instinctual actions, and the rest is smaller. So he's not all that bright! 8D Plus other things like pent up frustrations with the biting thing, it's natural to bite but he can't, and the fact he can't see the best (just needs like.. reading glasses)
After a bit he was getting in control of it, with Bree ontop of him 24/7. Pissed at her, but still behaving.Until the incident with Laial when she called him a monster, and he lost all touch with her.
So, instead of being behaived, now he's acting out to get her attention pretty much. Shoving himself into that "monster" role, and riding on cheap thrills and self gratifications. Bree has nothing over him now, so no matter how hard she tries she can't seem to keep him in without actually chaining him down.
Thus, next when I get time, she's goign to give up, give his stuff back, and be liek "Whatever, s'your problem." Which will likely make hte problem worse, at first it'll be a releif, he'll lose that attention from her and want to back down, but once you're in s'hard to get out deal here... So I'm thinking, with peer pressure, he'll be stuck in it for awhile longer. XD
So I guess what I'm hoping for here is comments, suggestions, maybe you want to have some character influence something? Whatever! X3 And remember, I'm asking as a fellow RPer, not a shop owner. ;3

Actually, Simon seems like a pretty normal teenaged boy - although a bit more drastic then most. That may be because of his brain and how he's handled thinigs in the past but it fits very well with his personality. From what I've seen via RPs with other people (one where he read to a girl?), Simon is just...normal, but not.
More out there, due to his genetics, but like most kids/teens if someone is genuinely nice to him and hasn't screwed him over in the past, he'll be nice back (to the point of keeping his rep up). Bree, unfortunetly, seems t have pressed the wrong buttons far too many times to try to get to that point without some major work.
That said, I can't really 'suggest' anything. Boys that act out act out for a REASON. They haven't recieved the attentin from someone that they crave as a main figure in their life. He can better himsef by doing things OUTSIDE of the realm of Bree but in context of her, I can't see it happening, again. I like Simons overall personality (the boys-be attitude is hard to cultivate and I've only seen Aadil from the Fa'e be able to pull it off) and how you've handled it. Maybe he needs someone to squish? Or another friend who will be there for him.

Yeah, bree's a horrible mom. XD
D-corp:: wtf? DX Bree: I told you. D:< D-corp: ... *sigh*
and goodie. O: That's kinda what I was hoping for. Something like... normal to the extreme? XD I'm thinking about Roping Raja and Gabs into an RP with Keanu and Paxton. Keanu wouldn't do much good for him, and he already hates Paxton, but if anything atleast he'll have someone to focus on rather than robbing stores and stoof. XD He'd probably have alot of fun going and pissing Keanu off. >_>;; Or it could go the other way, just get him irritated, like Laial does.
Nero kinda fits that friend position, but Freize is kinda poofed now. XD I should nab more teens/preteens for RP. >w> I don't see any children taking that position. XD "You're young, you suck. >:["

Actually... this could be quite useful.
As you all know I like to have some sort of plot in mind, but rarely a concrete one. That's become a definite case with Revon. Certainly he's continuing on with a lot of his old habits.
Such as the adoration of pink, DDR and mimicking the voices in the game(AKA singing to it). He's also quite obedient due to having a perfectionist and overbearing caretaker as well as his twin brother Keivlos. So certainly he has a sense of self, but recently a bunch of that sense of self dropped out.
I am, of course, refering to the fight between Revon and Keivlos. Keivlos is no longer even admitting to having a brother, much less on good terms with him. Previously a lot of Revon's life revolved around his brother, something like the moon revolves aorund the earth. So when the earth suddenly dissapeared he was left flailing a bit.
That isn't to say he's completely miserable. He has found a new freedom with the realization his brother isn't ALWAYS right, but he's still missing a large piece of himself. So he's dwelling on it as clearly he would, but I'm not quite sure where to go with it from there. Revon is timid and still holds a slight stutter due to it. Certainly he wants to please people and has trouble standing up for himself and that won't change, but anyone have any ideas were he should go from this point?
Eventually Gabs and I do want those two to get along again, or at least tolerate each other, but not for a bit. In the meantime I'm not sure what to have his goals be... A big chunk of his life just went kaputsky, any ideas on how the local pink freak should try to cope?

As I said previously, I'm totally up for that rP once they get out of the hospital. I think that Simon and Keanu would be at odds at all times. Especially since Keanu will be even less tolerant to improper acts now, though at least he'll think a bit more before trying to punch someones face in. Of course, how that would end up really would need to be RP'd out to see where it would go. Though I highly doubt they'd end up friends of any sort.

Oh yeah, i can see where that'd hit a hiccup. O:
Perhaps you can have his subconcious wind up desiring someone to take that place Keivlos had, kinda like a rebound. XD Winding up dissapointed with new friends, and everyone/everything that he tries to use to replace that "void." That coudl give you some fodder for new RPs, but in the end have him back with Keivlos because no one can replace that~ >w>
Or... what else? Another common thing for people to do when they lose someone like that is to replace them with fantasy characters. XD books, games, tv, ect.

Kievlos and Revon... I have NO IDEA how those two should click back together. Go with Aras 'no one can fill that void' suggestion? The two are different faces to the same coin; the extremes to one another. Revon can't change who he is but Keivlos won't change how he thinks. He can...but he's a stubborn little b*****d.
While I'm here, may I ask some opinions on Cleo? She's not as emotionally... odd as the two above (<3 you guys. XDD Hardcore) but she DOES have her issues. She learned at an early age that acting like her crazy Auntie Jem would make her mother love her. Rapier isn't known for her kind disposition. Behind the cute and the fluff, she's turning into a conniving, manipulative little b***h. I also have the feeling that she's going to be mostly-lesbian-with-slight-hetero-tendancies which will just add to her more 'I'm ******** up' scale.
I need something to get her angry. When she hits pre-teen I have a little plot that I'm trying to trigger with a LOT of anger on her part. Something to lead to an eventual breakdown and the removal of her 'omGAWD I am ADORABLE' status and..yeah. ._.;; Also, anyone have any insults, c/c, compliments whatever on her character up until this point? XD;; That i am most curious on.

Is there anything thats utmost importance to her? Maybe something to do with anything of those could trigger the bitchfit. XD
Or, just on those things there, some of her manipulation getting thrown right back in her face? Nothing like trying to manipulate someone and getting manipulated to be like "OMG YOU CAN'T DO THAT. D:<". XD
Another thing that comes to mind is someone putting her down for being cute until she snaps and shows her true nature? XD Iunno if that's quite IC though.

Okay, even more important, Talia. She's cute... yeah... and that worked for toddler. But now she's gotten that "I have no depth" flare.
I do need to fill in alot of her stuff, like everything with Alan and such~
The skeleton of an Idea that I have for her is that she'll become a real dreamer. Like "If you beleive in something hard enough it'll happen 8D" kinda thing. Also, a small side plot with her crushing on Colt in her teen years. XD but... That's for later. (What with him "kissing" her and all, her mind will develop some weird prince princess fantasy XD Vid: You're setting yourself up for major dissapointment. >__> )
Right now is what I need to focus on though. I don't know what to do with her for child stage. Not at all, which is giving me some hassle inspiration wise. Anyone want to throw in some ideas? XD

I pretty much agree with everything Noz said. He's acting a lot like the typical teenage boy though maybe a little more openly violent than most. He doesn't strike me as the type to bottle in his feelings, so he strikes out at the most conveniently placed object/person. If he loses Bree to act out towards, I can see it becoming even worse until he finds someone else he can get a similar or stronger reaction out of. Seems like he needs that reaction at this point to feel better about himself.
*was...no help at all D: *

No actually that does help. XD I was thinking he'd just get caught up in peer pressure to keep up the gang thing, but you're totally right, he'd probably just get worse violence wise because that's the only way he knows how to react to things. XD Silly Simon.
He might eventually calm down~ >w> I suspect in the later years, but for right now thats good drive for this path. XD I do want him to stay on it long enough to actually make an influence.

She adores the hell out of Tyven (although Tyven is HER protector, supposedly) and her mother. Neither of them need protecting but she thinks that if they know the Real Her, they would stop loving her.
.....that kind of triggered an idea, actually. -=ponders=- Hmmmm... Thankee, Ara.

Sorry for the slow reply. I was typing something up. *Eyes Ara.* Anyway...
That is something I want him to have issues with. I do like the idea of him trying to find a suitable replacement and sort of... ending up fed up with people. As much as he'll want to please everyone and get along with them all the conflicting feeling that they're letting him down would be great. Even better if he doesn't really realize why it seems like such a letdown. Because you know no one can fill keivlos' shoes. As Ara said, they're different sides of the same coin, something both Gabs and I strongly believe in. Which is why eventually they will have to make up.
It's an idea to go with the idea that he can sort of hunt for a replacement subconciously and constantly be dissapointed, it is somewhere to go and will cause more than a few interesting conversations with people. Especially his friends when he'd seem to be snappy with them.
Thanks for the input and I'ms till open to any further suggestions or more expansion on that idea.
