"S5M5 working observation"
|
I just designed a new character. She was meant to do nothing more than show up and direct someone else to a meeting, and before they got there she had a detailed description and the beginnings of an at least partially fledged backstory. The first time this happened in a Symphony story, it was Rina Dragonaar in The Courtship of Princess Dessler. And that ended pretty well, so I'm rather pleased. Actually, come to think of it, that's happened two or three times so far in the development of this movement, albeit not with quite the full Rina "OK, I'm here, now where's my trailer?" intensity in the other cases. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

SHe kind of stands up, pulls her sword/blaster out and shouts, "All right, I'm here, anyone want to complain about it?" ;) Craig

It's funny you should mention this. I was thinking about it recently, at the end of Try when Maevis Copperwing appears on the odds board. I knew right away who she had to be--only one copper dragon has appeared in UF AFAIK--and I thought naming her meant you had belatedly had a place for her somewhere. --------

> >She's not the character I mean in this case, but I believe we will be >seeing Maevis again at some point, yes. Well, yeah; you did say this was a new character, and Maevis is anything but. I was just inordinately amused at how often the creative muse grabs hold. It does for me too, I just end up using it to create tabletop characters I will never play. =) -------- this world created by the hands of the gods everything is false everything is a LIE the final days have come now let everything be destroyed --mu |
