The background is long just because I can't write short stories. I really felt the pain in that section of English class. No matter how hard I tried I could not write a 4-5 page short story. I ended up turning in a 'chapter' instead. Got some serious marks off. So the background story will not be short purely because I fail at writing synopsis.
And how did I ever miss that?! I looked straight at those portraits and I still overlooked them!
Changing him from a doll to a living creature would change him to the point that it would have little benefit other than plot idea gathering for the story he is in(which I can get from just reading, no need to actually RP unless it helps open up his character). His entire concept is tied around being a doll.
A morphed version would doubtless be interesting to play. But in my case I RP for one reason and one reason only, to flesh out characters. Anything else is a secondary purpose. Anyways I will be reading and I can probably take a look around. With the number of characters I have written up I can probably find something that needs/wants fleshed out that will fit. Looking around comes up with two possible candidates. Throwaways from an RPG Mock story I thought of writing for a contest somewhere(wait... was it a contest... or maybe a short story scholarship). Well either way it never got out of the planning phase. But it did result in two orphan characters that don't have their own story(though they do have a rough plot outline and that sort of stuff done).
I'll see about them. But they were orphaned for a reason. If even after conversion I have no intention of finishing their story... well once again the point of playing for me would fall flat.
Question though. Must they have a weapon or is it fine to use that just to list what they are proficient with? They don't really have their own weapons. It was a mock story, I was originally going to make a version of it interactive where people who read my work could 'vote' on their class progression. As such they just have a list of weapons/armors they are proficient with and they would equip/de-equip as the votes lead them. As in most RPG's their class restricts/expands their use. Just curious if that system could translate at all or if I would have to hard code them. It would be interesting for them to 'class' change while going through the story.
