MEME MONDAY: FEAR & DESIRE

[xihe]

Alright, guys, it's Monday, the start of a new week. Hopefully everyone's enjoying the winter season so far, and hasn't been getting too much snow (or too much sun, for those in the southern hemispheres)! To brighten up the Monday blues, here's what'll hopefully be the first of many themed discussion days.

People are, ofc, fully welcome to post details about their characters outside of these! These are just to encourage conversation and help people open up on discussing their characters. :)

For our FIRST MEME MONDAY, tell us about your character's fears and desires! Feel free to do several characters, or to do just one - it's up to you. :] Similarly, feel free to answer whichever of the questions you prefer, or all of them.

• What's their biggest fear? Is there anything that makes them scared? Why? And if not, what inspires their bravery?

• What's their greatest desire? Do they have a goal in life, or are they just drifting along? If so, what motivates them in either case?

• And on a player-level: what are your favorite motivations for characters? Are there certain goals that you love reading about - self-serving ambition, trolls that live for their quadrants, etc, etc? Are there any fears that you love to write?

Kaoboe sounds like he belongs in an alien action film and I LOVE that. Also, I like to imagine "generic murderous highschool mean girl" is a phrase often used on Troll TVTropes... It's a good phrase X)

Haha, yeah. I imagine Troll Mean Girls is more or less the same thing but with significantly more Actual Murder.

And yeah, Kaoboe definitely wants to be the action film dude, a little like Jake in that sense. He's in the middle of a phase where he roleplays as the "town sheriff" for his little hive (kid lives out in sandfrick nowhere), shooting wildlife for practice while pretending they're "aliens resisting the glorious alternian empire" or whatever. It's cute. His aim is getting very good.
