So I told her to be stubborn, like Moot, and continue talking the way she had been. As I recall Moot's English.. | ||

And he's been ragged on it many times for it. (I think there was even a public post on it) But he keeps speaking that way, for which I applaud him. | ||

It really is stupid the amount of time people put into a character or something to get them to speak and all they do is get overworshiped for it or bombarded for how much of a 'poser' you are, and in some cases it is just people trying to get esteem, I mean look at all the Elowenclones, not only on Aetolia but on Achaea and Imperian, that all popped up just because they thought they could be cool and wanted attention. I regret so much I ever thought of that, really I do, because I wanted to have fun doing all the work and all I got instead was 1000 reasons to never do it again with only like...10 reasons why I want to do retry. | ||

I have one really somber character who won't use words like 'woot' or 'yay' (won't even smile, actually), and tends to use longer words, as well. That's as far as I go, however. Anything more I not only tend to forget, but it annoys me to have to remember. | ||

Nightshadow's husband, Yreogh and Hatake... Funny thing is I don't think Yreogh or Hatake caught on it was me playing that character... Problem is... Trying to play a serious Sentinel is really hard when you've got over-friendly novices hitting on that character on the odd occasion or just being over-friendly altogether. Shame, really... I enjoyed the roleplay that I had going for him and for something like unrealistically people so friendly to someone they don't know the first thing about... It's something I wish I didn't have to do, but the majority of the people in the Sentinels are far too... for lack of a better word... Snuggly.. | ||

The Sentinels are so... so... leap-over-the-table-and-strangle-able. My chars all behave the same, give or take. Some are more serious, others not. I don't RP. Everything Avian does, I'd do. 'Cept maul mountain lions and elephants and stuff. I'd never do that IRL. ...stop giving me that look. | ||

I had a sentinel alt ONCE, way back when I was determined to make temporary characters in all the guilds just so I'd know a bit about them...it lasted even less time than my priest alt, who I suicided after two months out of boredom. (priests were far too much like the paladins, only not as interesting, for me to tolerate...now, though, I wish I'd kept that character) | ||
