Hello fellow KaPeefers! (I think that’s what we’re called these days, haha.) Long time no hablas. I hope you’re all doing well! 🙂
Formalities aside, I have a sort of idea for a series of stories of something, loosely based of the idea of the Big Four or the Modern Four. (If you’re not aware of these titles, they’re two separate [and sadly unofficial] crossovers. The first includes Merida [Brave], Rapunzel [Tangled], Hiccup [How to Train Your Dragon], and Jack [Rise of the Guardians], whereas the second includes Violet [The Incredibles], Wilbur [Meet the Robinsons], Hiro [Big Hero 6] and Penny [Bolt]. They’re very cool and interesting!)
I don’t really have a plot in order, but I thought it would be fun to make a bunch of stories about a group of four kids/teenagers who do crazy stuff, have lots of fun, and save the world occasionally, and are basically this unrelated family that cares for each other and whatnot. I just really love those kinds of concepts.
Anywho, I originally wanted to do it myself but I have this nasty habit of making my characters relatively similar to myself, which makes them seem all kind of the same. Therefore I was like, “Maybe I should get other people to create the other three characters while I create one.” But alas, who could I trust to make wholesome and interesting characters?
Le gasp! THE KAPEEFERS!
And that is what makes me guess about where to put this, because I suppose this is sort of a character development thread, but also a novel idea thread… so… aha. *shrug*
But yeah, I figured I could ask a lucky three to make characters, if anyone would like to. It would be hugely awesome. The only rules are that they have to be from around the post-modern era, pretty much right about where we are now. And they have to be humans. (Though that doesn’t mean I’m completely excluding pets. Whose to say that they can’t have a cool animal sidekick? Whose to say they can’t talk to animals? Whose to say they can’t be a superhero? I literally don’t care. Be creative! :D) Other than that, the sky is the limit! Knock yourselves out. 🙂
It would be so awesome if anyone would like to do this with me!
Also, if you would like a guideline, here is would you could follow [credit to myself]:

September 8, 2017 at 8:08 pm #43018@Graceofspades2017 whoa! 😛 This looks like something I would normally love to do, but unfortunately I don’t have the time or mental energy right now. 😛
Let me tag some others for you though.

Hi @graceofspades2017! I’ve never really done anything like this before. I think I can do it, but maybe you want to have a backup plan just in case! I will try if you want me too. Hopefully awaiting your acceptance or denial 😜
September 8, 2017 at 8:26 pm #43025This sounds really cool! I use something similar to your chart for characterization-it’s actually an acting tool I used for an advanced acting class. I really shouldn’t sign up for another project just now, but please tag me when you are finished!!
September 8, 2017 at 9:01 pm #43031@graceofspades2017 Woah! This is really neat! I’ll probably be able to do this, but I have to ask, is what I fill out fictional? So basically, I just fill it out as I want, not as reality?
☀ ☀ ☀ ENFP ☀ ☀ ☀
September 8, 2017 at 11:22 pm #43037@kate-flournoy Ah, that’s totally okay. If anyone would understand, it’s me. XD Thanks so much though, that is awesome. 😀
@Shannon Of course! It would be awesome for you to do it! Thank you a ton. Offer accepted mon ami!
@bethanysinkyroses Haha that is really cool! And will do, gladly. 🙂
@dragon-snapper But of course! It’s totally fictional. Thanks a bagajillion for your willingness to do this! It’s gonna be AWESOME.ALSO, A NOTE: Forgot to mention, there are going to be two girl characters and two boy characters. I’m making a boy character, so one boy and two girls are open.
Ah this is great! Thanks guys!

September 9, 2017 at 12:10 am #43040Hmm… I actually might be interested in trying this out. After researching the Big/Modern Four thing, it actually sounds quite interesting. However, if I do post the character, I would like (if it’s okay with you) to keep the character for later if I ever want to use him/her. OR I could do an authorized crossover. I’ve got a post-modern story idea loosely based off of some LEGO Hero Factory fan fictions I’ve come up with (I like the robotic heroes idea, and I want to write my own stories from now on.) I’d just like to try this out, ‘cuz this is rather fascinating. ^_^
September 9, 2017 at 11:23 am #43042@leumeister Fabtastic! You can absolutely keep the character for later use, I don’t mind at all. Those stories of yours sound super cool, by the way!
Working on my character now and will more than likely have him up within a day or so. Probably. 😅

Wild Australian. INXJ.September 10, 2017 at 5:27 pm #43072@Graceofspades2017 Beware the toothy cows! 😀
@f5a8c3e92 Love the character you created! Can I meet her irl??? Please?? 😉Blog: https://weridasusual.home.blog/
September 10, 2017 at 8:28 pm #43077@f5a8c3e92 I LOVE this character! Though, I was thinking that the main four characters would be a little on the younger side (12-16), so she will probably end up being a mother-figure/mentor in the stories. 🙂 Thank you so much for filling it out though! I really like her. By the way, are you from Australia? If you are, would you mind telling me a bit about it since some of the story may take place there? 😀 If not, I’ll just google it. That’s what the internet’s for. XD
@daughteroftheking Indeed, my good friend, indeed! The Fangs of Dang as well! Those dang Fangs… (*slapped*) 😂- This reply was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by G. B. Carter.
