Character Ideas

[AdamantineFist]

Well, Havelock Matheson and the Adamant are rather organic in their creation. The Adamant was the first ship I ever flew on the server, and Havelock just... evolved. I dunno any other way to put it.

All of the sudden they're just there. That's it.

It often seems like that for me, but I realized a little while ago that it was really exactly the opposite for me. My characters tend to be created over extended periods of time, with various thoughts, projections, and daydreams merging and reaching their culmination in a fully formed character. I'm really not certain how to describe it. I can't just sit down and say, "Okay, I figure I'll make a character... like this." It tends to take a good deal of time and thought for my characters to reach their full potential and depth.



I must admit that some of my characters are (or at least started out as) rather caricaturized and one-dimensional concepts. One glaring example is Edmund Schiffer, who on the surface could probably be described in just a few words: zealous, religious, fascist, and Germanic; essentially, a member of the Rheinland military. He's gained depth (at least in my mind) over time, and I hope this will show in the way I RP him.
