(And, Frug, feel free to blow up this thread if you feel it's crossing the line..)
But, seriously, guys. And gals. Seriously.
I am SO.. SO..
disappointed with the applications lately. Why can't we, like, get just one app that is blatantly plagiarized or heinously overpowered? Is it too much to ask?I mean, gals and guys , COME ON. Take this app for example: http://www.tharshaddin.com/rp/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2653
For.. SERIOUS. Look at the hair. BALD?!?! Are you SURE that it wasn't supposed to read "multi-colored, flowing locks that change with his mood and enthrall nearby common-folk and livestock?" That's how I would have written it. For sure.
And what's more--look at the possessions. A DUFFEL BAG?! COME ON! Would it have been THAAAT difficult to, idunno, dream up some suspicious-looking amulet with latent, world-blow-upping powers that unlock the first time the character is told they smell like stale crackers and goose farts?
Those powers and weaknesses, too. Good at swimming? Does that even need to be listed? I thought every character was just automatically good at things like swimming across oceans, scaling sheer cliff faces and marathon sexcapades. And then, AND THEN.. he's nearsighted! What the heck, gals (and guys)? What interesting character has ever had a REAL flaw? Weaknesses is where you put things like, "Humility -- Rapunzella Ultima Blackwing VIII is just sooooo totally unable to lose sight of the role that others play in her successes. She like, goes out of her way, you know, to let people know how much their help means to her. I mean, sure, that makes her pretty popular, but think of all the effort. I mean, it's hard to not take credit for everything, right? Right."
To our newbies (and veterans creating new characters): I am keeping my eye on you. Not the ruby-red one. The emerald-green one. Because, of course, I have heterochromia iridium.
