Hey Mima, since S1 is inactive, wanna have Koishi finish business with Zommari?

Hey wriggle... You should really get on HM and Sheva while you are here...

Eh, sure.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

My general structure for making OCs


1. Take a personality
ex: Strong silent type

2. steal develop a name
ex: Navarre

3. Mix n' match an appearance and adjust accordingly
ex: ok gonna take the overall concept of this look of Marth

and replace the color scheme with white, silver, and black. And then I'll futurize (not even a word...well now it is) it.

4. Determine backstory (use personality and then dig around various stories and mix and match themes | This is the part that really brings a character to life and sometimes this is what doesn't come as easily. One time, I had a character, Kiara, who had no backstory and was an after thought addition, then I dreamt up this excellent backstory for her and she immediately became a more prominent character among my entire cast.)
ex: Loyal to his commanding officers, Navarre appears emotionless. However, his caring side is always there, which had been ever present in his past job as a Royal Guard. He had grown fond of his ward, Avonna.

5. Flesh out some minor details, which comes with time and as you "play" with the character in your mind. Sometimes imagining what he/she would do in another story helps.)
ex: Navarre is an Ace pilot and skilled swordsman. He uses symbolism with the Black Rose.

6. ?????

7. Go nuts.


That's what I do, and so far I've developed a few 30 some characters and going.

EDIT:
And for different reasons, I agree with wriggle.
In the more serious aspect, we did say we'd pause the parts that involve S121, so...

How the hell would that work? I read through that, and it seems sci-fi, with no ghosts or anything.

the part where I keep saying its a big galaxy and thus anything can happen says otherwise.
Though part II: Echoes of Time would go more into the "ghost part"
The way I have it is that there's Venturia of part one, then the real Venturia in part two
The Halls of Time acts as a sort of River Styx for souls to move on to the afterlife.
Sort of the curse of the Galaxy is that when you die in the "Eternal Galaxy" (Part one's Venturia) you wind up being reincarnated in the "Ethereal Galaxy" (The real Venturia of part two) as a second chance.

So for specifics, Mima could exist in the story and probably make it to the Eternal Galaxy from the Ethereal Galaxy via the Mirror Sea (which would put her in the Helios System)
Though to make it so that she wouldn't conflict with anything of part one's beginning, I would say she got through the Passage of Fate (which is the link between the two galaxies with the Halls of Time in the Middle) at the price of her powers and most memories. Though we could then have her slowly regain her memories during part one then get her powers back in part two.

Long story short, I can help bring out elements so that Mima can exist. I have plenty of loopholes that can be manipulated to almost bring in any character, just ask and I can whip up something.
Besides, I actually do have a ghost in my story, tbe three. Aurora is one of them, I'll explain her later if yer interested.

And another point: I haven't fleshed out all of the elements. I would post all of my notes, but that would take up so many pages in the forums....
Anyway that'll be for the Eternal Galaxy OOC.

EDIT: and I think I did say somewhere to initially keep it scientific then add supernatural/mystical parts...my bad.

Well then... I guess that from now until S1's return, this is our own private chat room. (Invitation only, b*tches)
