Character concepts

[Aux-ash]

I want to create a second character to roleplay with... but I cannot come up with any good concepts.

I had one idea but it seemed the lore did not support that one ( a pity, since i rather liked it. But no matter) so now I am stuck without any good ideas.

So: I would appreciate some help with coming up with concepts that could be used.
If we come up with many ideas we could have a list with ideas for anyone to use perhaps? So that people unsure what to play could come here and ask to "adopt" a concept.

Well, I was thinking of bringing in an Elf character. You know...just in contrast to the Harpy. xD
I hear that someone has an Elf character who's plotting a rebellion. Is it yours?

(:
Either way, I don't think we've met. I'm Rinneh.

At this present moment in time myself and my brother and i are typing up the beginnings of an event that will include anyone in Hope, the Capital City of Shrenk's land.

In short, The Dark Lord Razgriz has yet to be properly acquainted with all you Dears. So we're going to bring him in. He'll be making a stately visit to meet up with his good pal Shrenk.

Shrenk's been having a bit of trouble with some rather vocal poets lately. Razgriz doesn't mind people fearing and hating him... to be perfectly honest, he thrives on it. What he doesn't appreciate is people hating him out loud. It's never a good start to the day when you hear another poem announcing that you're pure evil in a can and deserve to die a painful death.

To deal with his problem... Razgriz will bring in a posse of Harpies. Harpies don't mind tearing people apart limb by limb.

No judge, no jury, just plenty of witnesses and a more fearful and respectful society.

[Rinneh]

As of now, he's got a one member posse.
xDDD
Me.

Indeed, it is I who is planning a elven counter-culture revolution. Once there is a few more elves around to react to it I intend to start with that plot.

And I am not sure about creating a harpy. I cannot see particularly many interesting concepts (basic character outlines) in that race. Being the dark lords pet killing machines is pretty much the only one I can imagine at the moment.
But I might not be viewing it from the proper perspective.
What kinds of concepts can you see the harpies having?

Personally I would like to see a few more Anja living amongst Shrenk's lands. They have a lot of potential, they could have adapted well to their new life or they could be enraged at their hostile take over and slaughtered fellow tribespeople.
They could be discriminated against in the town or they could get along just fine.

Also, I'd like to see more Anja on the whole, they're my favourite race of the ones we have

[Aux-ash]

Now that you mention it, they do have a lot of potential.
One can play one that accepts the new way of life, one that grudgingly accepts, one that embraces the new life and works to improve the lives of his/her kin, one that embraces the new way of life and uses every opportunity to improve his/her status/wealth, a passive freedom fighter or a active freedom fighter.

There's probably a great deal more there... a shame I am not to fond of anthropomorphic species though...

And I have noticed you like the anja the most . They are the quite well written, more so than any other race in fact.

[Valalerin]

In part down to their role in Archidet, in part due to the unique nature of them, in part due to their potential for characters... Mostly because they're my favourite

Much like how Elves are noticably better than any other race my sister has written. And just think of them as small, adorable humans I'm not usually keen on anthropomorphic races either, but there's just something about cats that I like.

Probably just Twisp and Catsby, or a game I played as a kid...

[engelbert]

I only gave so much lore to the Elves because i hate how they're usually so snooty.

Suck it up Elfies... You got your backsides handed to you.

[Zachariah]

That's quite true, engleston, as usually the elves have some big rich history, taking down an entire race (toppling the troll empire in World of Warcraft, specifically, and quite soon after the creation of their very race) on occasion, and all of that mess. It's good to see elves without a reason to hold their nose and pointy ears in the air.

[Valalerin]

I think now is the time I announce I'm the one who initially placed the races and basic history

Well... I didn't include Centaur. I don't like them. Or dragons, I don't like those either. Harpies were originally just demons, I think. But they were soon turned into harpies that the Elves got owned by.

Gotta love how hard we thought about it all.

Good to see someone who shares my opinion. I also bolstered the Centaur culture by introducing the necessary crossing of the waters to try and get more centaurs in the world. I find that they seem to get overlooked in fantasies. It's a shame too because i find them interesting. I'm not sure how their insides would work... unless they have a heap-load of intestines or just... empty space.... but still. Me like.

[Zachariah]

I think their human half is, like, 90% stomach, and the rest is just intestines. That is why Zachariah lost in the Celebration of Worth Annual Pie-Eating Contest.

Egotist.

I claim Razgriz. He is my snookums.

I placed him in his position though, it seems.
