Welcome to Gaia! ::

PLEASE READ THE RESPONSES POSTED.

Arri, I only said that I think you do not deserve a fa'e if you decide to delete that piece of Sire's life. It was his teen quest. Teenquests are supposed to be major turning points in a fa'e's life, right? And you want to simply delete that?

It'd be like unmaking Sire.

Sure, you can say "Maybe he should go back to being a kid." I really don't think Anya would ever agree to that. You can't press rewind on your life, why should you be able to with a fa'e?

And I know that sounds very hypocritical of me since Rune has been reverted to a child stage. ._. However, he never even had a teen quest. It was an error on Anya's part that she admitted to, and it was her suggestion that he return to the child stage. The current plot with him is going to act as his teen quest.

My problem is the idea of simply erasing an existing teen quest. You can't have a do-over simply because you didn't like the idea. You agreed to it, obviously - you posted it as his teen quest. You can't simply decide later that you didn't like it and decide to ignore it. x_x

I really hope I've explained myself well enough. If there's a problem in my argument, feel free to point it out so I can clarify.

What Drac said. Of COURSE you deserve a Fa'e, you're being way too hard on yourself. Who cares if the idea was originally Mousekinn's? I think you've made it your own! Lord knows not all my ideas for Riven are original. I decided to have him be a summoner because I liked it in Final Fantasy, for heaven's sake. XD But I made the idea my own, and now it's an integral part of him.

.__. Okay. Realizing I probably sound like a b***h now. Arri, I love you. ._. I just really, really think that changing what Sire is is a bad idea. You're upset now, and rightfully so, but I still disagree entirely with deleting part of Sire's life.

I think I'm gonna go hide or something now.

eek *laughs* I'm sorry but something about this whole post made me laugh and smile. I know I have tons of books on magical creatures from differnt cultures and I'm sure I could find something to help you morph what Sire is into what you want him to be. No worries.

as a added note: Well said Rik!

Arri, you can't delete the djinn storyline. It is concrete and in the past. You have spoken to other Fa'e about it and it is a part of THEIR history as well. It would be like deleting the quest to find and rescue Sire's uncle. It affects too many people.

You should have thought more about what Sire was before deciding to follow a idea that you did not totally support. You should figure out a way that ANYA SUPPORTS to make Sire more to your liking.

You deserve a Fa'e. You do RP and you do have new concepts for the diary. Being blunt, my complaints are

1) when you rp, sire is ALWAYS put in a position of danger. it gets.... tiring.

2) i hear all of these half storylines. i hear that sire has moved out, his uncle has done this, sire has done that, but i never SEE the rp or the entry in your journal. i can't keep up with what sire is doing if there isn't physical evidence for me to read that it happened! it makes it hard to rp with you.

ALright.

You want blunt.

This isn't really blunt. But it's honest.

That hurts. It almost sounds accusatory, like it's MY fault you're in this situation.

I took time out to try to help you find a good direction for Sire and to try to HELP you from offending people by your RPIng style. Your original idea stemmed from your own created world.. that was, frankly, a bad idea because it gives no one a structured knowledge about this mythos.. you could say hey, my fa'e summons rainign bananas - its' a part of his mythos, adn we' dall be like.. Uhhhhh..

I SUGGESTED a Djinn. I didn't hodl a freaking gun to your head. And, at the time, you were really into it. ANd now, suddenly, he's my character, even though I didn't to a whit of development on him, onkly gave you a mythological basis to run from that sorta fit with his fire theme.

It's like you took the time I spent trying to work with you to find a new theme for Sire and now you're RAMMING It back down my throat. And I'm offended, frankly. Any trouble you'r ehaving conecting to Sire is YOUR FAULT, not MINE. YOU chose the idea. I was making goddamn suggestions, none of which you had ot listen to.

I'm tryign so VERY hard not to sound liek I'm yelling, but right now I want to shake some sense into you.

Now, back on topic.. being that the djinn part is in concrete RP now, no, I don' think you can just rip out this part of Sire.

There was mention of Sire beign a vampire? Ain't going to work with his fire. Fire destroys vampires.

Do you deserve a Fa'e? Bah, of course you do. Anya entrusted Sire to you fo ra reason, there are plenty of peopel that wanted him, but she gave him to you.

As for his past, there was a suggetion about getting RID of it? You can't just get RID of a past life.. That's like me.. I dunno.. saying I'm descended from a banana. (I'm in a fruity mood, bear with me).

In any case, you can find something that makes htis more comfortable fo ryou. Research, research, research. It takes a lot of thought to flesh out these Fa'e, it's not somethign you can whimsy away like picking your color of underwear :3 (Though I guess osme people are really picky abou tthose thigns.. I just make certain if I'm wearing white I don't have pink undies on or something.. )

Saying you don't deserve a fa'e becaus eyou're struggling with concept isn't right.. it's just goin gto tak esom eserious thought and mapping out of plot and storyline on your part.

In Response ot Brina..

1. I completely agree. Tiring and .. well.. attention whorish. (which we all have trouble with sometimes, when it feels our Fa'e isn't gettign enough OMG attention)

2. She's righ there, too. it's that, I think, you have so much you wan tto do with Sire that you fail to DO any of it. You want to move it along, get ot the next factoid in his life.. Sometimes, it's much more interesting and has an ENORMOUS effect on a character's development if you PLAY OUT these little tidbits. That way, you and your character can work out on paper (or on screen) his reactions, his emotions towards thing.. you're not just making an assumption. And it's clear to all of us, then, too, so we can enter into these storylines, perhaps, and interact with Sire.


Part of character development is the interaction side of things.. and half the time, these plots are so convoluted that there's no choice but for the other fa'e to sit on their butts and gawk at you. You'll pull out this character or that character to solve your own plot devices.. and it leaves some of us feeling like we shouldn't even bother because Character X is goign to show up adn save the day anyway. ^^; We talked a little bit about that way back when.. and you really have gotten better. But sometimes, still...

eh. THat's my 2 cents. I gotta pack to head home for Bird Day. z.z Course, now i'm grumpy.. but that's not too much of a change.

Arri, don't be stupid. You deserve Sire just as much as any of us Guardians deserve our fa'e and you know this. You're always so down on yourself. :\

If you don't like the djinn thing, change it over a course of time with some well thought out RP that -you- like. You can't just go and delete that whole part though because yes, it involves other people now and it's part of their fa'e's history. Really focus on a plot line and go with it.
