I’d like to think that Wellson/Kestrel does … further, I’d like to thank that all of my characters do, to be honest. Redeeming qualities are what grants characters their depth. Even Osprey, a career expert marksman, plays with ladybugs on occasion – she hasn’t lost sight of the ability to see something wondrous in the World (of Warcraft).

But, getting back to Wellson/Kestrel. He loves, and loves deeply. He is terrifically (somewhat creepily) patient. He shows fierce loyalty to the people in his life. Indeed, in the events following his death/forcible disappearance, Wellson left all of his properties to his friends and family (except his ex-wife… it’s complicated). With the remainder of his fortune, he established two permanent trust funds. The first trust fund was created to ensure that his proposed Primary School could be built, and the second carried the intent to fund an educational program allowing nine, hand-picked orphans of Northshire the chance at an education revolving around literature, the arts, military strategy, mathematics, and leadership. Wellson believes that education is the single greatest thing that a person can do for themselves, because it is through education that equity can be established and nurtured. 

Oh, and he whole-heartedly embraces Elune (that has to count for something…)!

Perhaps these are redeeming qualities… I’d like to think so. 

Thank you for the question. :-)

 No. Well, actually that’s not true, my brother does, one RL friend,who I hardly speak to anymore since she moved away :(, and my boyfriend. But otherwise they just know I like to write and don’t really question it any further than that. 

This is a question about which I’ve been thinking a great deal. I think the behavior which irritates me most is alt-tabbing.

To be sure, I (as well as many other people) recognize when alt-tabbing is occurring with RP counterparts – it’s encoded in their text. For instance, if an RPer is engaged with a conversation, they will react accordingly; that is, they will notice small motions, turns of phrase, &c. Conversely, if the author is doing something else outside the moment, their responses will generally trend toward the noncommittal or contextually nonsensical. 

To me, every line of text matters – perhaps, your text most of all – be it a one-sentence spoken reply, or a multi-paragraph response with actions and speech. Reactions and interactions, personality clashes and shifting loyalties: these are the nuances that drive a story. Therefore, your in-line text – far more than a TRP – tells me who your character is, and why our story is progressing as it is. 

TL;DR. It is not the notion that my time is being wasted that irritates me; rather, my reaction has more to do with the justice (or injustice) being afforded the story, and all characters involved. Both of these things matter to me as a writer, and as someone who wants (and encourages!) others to develop their characters. 

Thank you for the ask!

Zaeas once thought it was a great idea to go into an abandoned temple without rope or weapons. Got stuck in a pit 

Unless this is a serious question then none of them have any good ideas. 

Because I’m terrible. >.<

She doesn’t. At least not well. 

Mostly just talks and talks... and talks. 

Oh my gosh, do I HAVE to pick a favorite? I love them all so much!  My favoritism largely depends upon how long I’ve been playing the character, and so that leads me to Lydianah ( @lydianah ), as she’s the one I’ve really been playing and developing the longest here on WRA.

HOWEVER!

I have very, very,strong emotional ties to Calanus ( @riverblade ) and Naivaria too. I’m so bad at this favorites thing!
