Character Generation Tips

[Kryos]

Huzzah me.  Out of my six or so total characters, 4 of them had unique portions or totally unique sdescs (according to the posted list).  Just what I didn't need, an ego boost.

[Xagon]

Haha, from that giganto-enormous list (That's going to be in my next character's Sdesc), I can tell which of my characters you have and have not interacted with. Huzzah?

Isn't it scary that this list is only from a span of a year, year and a half - and a good percentage of that time spent away from people?  That said, I did play primarly (but not entirely) in Tuluk during this timeframe.  For all I know, there could've been three belshun-eyed folks hanging around Allanak during that same period.

I got quoted. That makes me feel awesome.

As a courtesy, I have re-uploaded my Character Personality Questionnaire once again to my new website for easier readability.

I'm totally on there twice.  I feel proud.  Also, I know exactly from where I'm going to pick one word for my next sdesc.

1 - can somebody remind me what the playable age range of humans is?
2 - I seem to remember staff calling a moratorium on sdesc nouns like 'boy'. Is that true? Maybe it was just 'lad'. I never like lad anyway. makes me think the character is a dandy.

13 to 57 to start, I believe.

However, mutant is no longer on the "definitely okay" list.

Oh, crap, I've gotta re-upload it.  They deleted all of my stuff when I stopped paying for my site for a month.

If you want, I can put it on my site.

It wouldn't hurt to use zalanthan adjectives to describe the shape, feel, and look of your character's features.

Someone recently told me about a great site for picking descriptions, including many if not all of the Zalanthan adjectives / colors and whatnot.

Unfortunately the site was no longer up when I checked it, but through the magical powers of archive.org you can still access it!

Jade and the 'nakki cross are more G9 than G8. Sort of a mix between G9 and F9, really.

A8-A13 I would definitely consider to be sky colours....?

Also, spice, sand, salt-flats etc...Probably some of the most common colours in the South...
