This will be a creepy post. As I introduce you to my non-existent children. Two boys and a girl, each one has two ages. They are Ben Abyll, Little Bunny Foo Foo and Erich Zann. By their IC ages Ben is the oldest, Little Bunny is the midde and Erich is the youngest. but by their ooc ages, Zann may be te oldest followed by Ben and finally Little Bunny.
Now, I don't think of these characters as my actual children. That would be sort of, insane. But in order to write an interesting post let's assume they are. And I can think of them in those terms. The only problem is Ercih Zann isn't really my creation. If you want to think of characters being the children of their creators technically Zann is Lovecrafts child. Mine is a younger version of the Erich Zann from that story.
So obviously I did not name Zann after myself. Although te name is similar. Erich Zann... if I used the original spelling of my last name it's Eric Ztandl. Yeh, maybe a bit. And we're both musicians. I thought it wouldbe a good character to try to recreate. I'm not doing so well hough with him. He's my least favorite actually. Yes, just like if I had real children I play favoritism.
Erich Zann, he has to be mute so if I ever say anything I need to do it through a note. He plays the viol, and I do not. He sort of doesn't have a place... niether does Ben, but at leas Ben is my ow creation. Ben is suppsed to be a idealist... he trusts people. He forgive those who do him harm... he's a nice guy. I couner balancehim with Little Bunny Foo Foo. Who I have been playing as ahe, but for some reason, something tells me the character is female. I have no quelms roleplaying a female character. I would often did it the last ear I played D&D, I would decide everything on random. I was known for flipping a coin when I had to pick my characters sex.
Also the picture I used for he character is from a comic called Blip, and the character the picture is of is actually female. I mean sure, it could go either way. there is no way you could tell. But tht mightbe a part of the reason I chose the gender of the character. Also she may be based a little off my little nieces, who were always obnoxious just like the character. But that's i really. The chaacteris the greatest because she is obnoxious, she has a history... sure the name s from a nursury rhyme, and yes that was another part od the puzzle to create this abnoxious bratty chracter because Little Bunny Foo Foo hops through theforest beating the shit out of little feild mice. It's perfect.
But I added more to the character. She's an orphan,she had prents... I have pretty good ide of what happened to them and plan on hinting to it through that character.
Benjamin Abyll, he has no real history. We know he doesn't fit in with the other pirates, but I don't have a reason as to why. He's just a sensitive guy I suppose.He's supposed to be more of a erious character, but peaceful. So I'm left wondering how much fun it could possibly be trying to stay in character with this one. His stance is the middle road, he avoids conflict and he's kind of dull... considering he's a pirate he is really boring. But I'll try to get him to wonder around and hopefully h will find his morals challenged or something. He needs some sort of history. All he's got is a distrust of Yorkmen, because one killed him. But he's not alone in that.
Erich Zann, I've already explained this character. He's als been killed by a Yorkman, and in all places, Wiksik. I was sre that sleeping there would get me killed. But I thought it would be a native, since it's a native town known for being quite hostile. That's beside the point. v'e actually spent the leas time with tis character. But they should be an interesting character to play as. Afterall they are suppsed to use there instrument to either repel or summon an outlandish void. But this character is much younger than Lovecraft's Zann. Shartak is a strange place. While some characters have a history to draw from, this character has a future.
So if these three whre my children Little Bunny Foo Foo woul be my favorite by far. She's just the funnest to play as. She cartwheels past people. She acts tough, but than falls on her face. I actually can write stories with what tis character has done.
Little Bunny Foo Foo was sitting in the medical hut in Dalpok. She's bored, she wishes to prove to the lord of Dalpok that she will be the greatest warrior ever known to this village. She leaps form te hut raes toward the massive citidel on the other side of town. It is a giant gray monolith. Skulls of the great nations enemies adorn and decorate the terrofying structure. She skips and bonds toward it. She is one of the quickest of all her peers. Little Foo Foo enters the citadel. Sitting in the thrownroom is Vercingetorix and his concubine. Little Foo Foo doesn't hesitate she loudly announces, "I will be te greatest champion Dalpok and Shartak has ever known! I will chase all the pirates and mean outsiders away from the island, and thy will be so scared, they'll never wanna come back!!!" She stands tall... at 4.2 and as she dramticall turns t leave she rips and falls out he dor, and all the way down the steep and tall staircase.
With Benjamin Abyll the best I've got is when he was in York. He gets is in a tiny disagreement with one person about the natives. Than some madman, who is a Yorkman at that kicks in the door and starts to kill him.
And I have nothing for the Zann man.
I did create for other characters that are retired. A shaman from Raktam, known as Foxfleet, she was based off my first character Csycica. But I didn't want to ply my old character. Things had changed too much since than. James Hook seemed promising, but I already had a pirate... and if I was going to go for a literary character Erich Zann attracted me more. I am a fan of Lovecraft, and Zann is a muscian. The third was even more tricky Danial Tagor. I liked the character, he was sort of based off of the character from the story I orte a while back. Unfortunately that story is lost as I deleted all my old posts and my old Facebok account. Of course the computer with the original story on it was... BRRRROTHEEEERRRRRR!!!
Anyway that story was about a serial killer. Who killed people of his old faith because his home nation blew up. He may have been raped by demons well in th wastelands of his fallen nation... bt I never mentioned thatin the story. His name was something like Davis Tagor... Danial Tagr was a bit differant, and he was created for a specific reason. Someone had a character named Th Hanged Man who declared himself Sherrif of York, And he was a Caligua, he was killing people for breaking laws he created such as: Peaceful Intent, Collecting Seashells, Healing, Stealng Signs... and he was the greatest thing to happen to that town in months. I though I'd help out with a character that would be willing to inforce his zany laws. But in the end he disappeared and the concept became moot. also I can only have three characters. And they are Ben, Zann and Foo.
That must have been a joy to read.
