Even if it's an overly long description of Merlin figuring out how to use a urinal.

[GiglameshDespair]

We've already had Merlin on weed. Now write Merlin on cocaine.

Even if it's an overly long description of Merlin figuring out how to use a urinal.

I do think that you forgot a question mark.

Oh lord

I was actually kinda considering it

[Caesar]

Fair enough.

[Digital Hellhound]

I rather like the Christmas Eve idea, except I don't know if it'll be a flashback. Not a very far flashback, anyway. Or maybe it will. *cough*

It'll give me a chance to share some of that character backstory that was only in the original application PM I sent Fniff. Man, that was a long time ago.

[Xantalos]

Yeah, it realy was. I don't have mine anymore, but I suspect my conception of Merlin is way different than it was when I first thought him up. That's a good thing, of course.

Dyou even remember what the +3 skill you put was? I don't even remember anymore.

[Digital Hellhound]

I do have it in my PMs, and it was gambling. Literally just gambling. Also, it seems Jack was 23 at game start. How many year-long turns have we gone through again?

Jack was supposed to have a quick temper - I did remember I'd written that, but our ideas of characters change, don't they? She does have a lot of anger, as seen by, uh, the mass death cursing and such, but it's not really out in the open.

Her Style was 'flashy and unsubtle'... so I've kept that, some of the time.

[Xantalos]

I think I put Merlin's as talking and persuading people and stuff. Or something. I do recall that I entirely switched around his style at one point - it was originally more elemental and stuff but I decided I wanted to do more estoeric stuff so I just made his style 'magic'. As in he doesn't really do a specific thing  he just does all the shit.
Speaking of original character ideas, I really should include something about his involvement in Avalon and Camelot in his characterization. Maybe this writing prompt thing can help me get a better grasp on it, and I do believe I have some ideas that Merlin could use to pay tribute to that endeavour.
When I have the acts to spare, which isn't gonna be for quite a while, unfortunately.

Red is pretty much what he was in the application. Except for his clothing. Apparently, it used to contain black elements, while it's completely red now.

[Digital Hellhound]

Well, I did it, and I think it turned out quite nice, so please read if you have the time. Christmas Eve, somewhere between the first Game and the attack on the casino. As a note, the city here is not our city.

Fniff, you do realize this is the only game I've ever written what's basically fanfiction for? Several times, I might add. This is something special.

[Xantalos]

Already done? Damn DH, you putting all of us to shame.

[Digital Hellhound]

You can see it took at least three hours from the accepting of the challenge, so really, I should've written at least three of these. My pace was slow but steady, anyway, in a nice chill state. Very pleasant way to write.

[10ebbor10]

So yeah, I think I'm going to state the obvious here.

You shouldn't wait for me. I have no idea where I was going with the character, no idea of how to do what I wanted in an interesting and non contradictory way, no plan, no deadline, no excuse and nothing to show.

Adding to that the fact that allI'm doing is dragging down the quality of writing and slowing everything down, it might be best for me to watch this unfold from the sideline.

[Xantalos]

The solution is obvious: character interpretation brainstorm! I didn't really know where I was going with Merlin after all, just said to myself 'Merlin'd be cool to play' and went with it. Make a motivation up for Robert! Wanna make the world better? Contact the police department offering power in exchange for favors. Make elerium-powered golems. Explore your relationship with the AI you made. Just give your parts a quick reread and do something that sounds cool, doesn't matter if it's plot relevant or not.
Or just start with talking to Red even.
