      @keilah-h

      I don’t like being super graphic/body horror about it, I just make sure my favorite characters come out of it with a tangible reminder of the incident.

      Tangible reminder is a fun trope. I haven’t used it too often. I can’t remember the last time I gave a character a dramatic scar. It feels like something that belongs in the Keilah genre. :p

        @whalekeeper lol “the Keilah genre”

         

        What exactly does that entail?

          Also I can’t disagree that trauma doesn’t automatically make characters deep. Nothing does. We have to work to make our characters, same as anything else. There’s not just a switch we can flip to automatically make a good character.

           

           

          Unless you’re like me, then you can just borrow them from other people’s stories, but even that takes work to keep them in character and stuff.

            What exactly does that entail?

            Snipercore, reptiles, sci-fi, things like that. Also, I’ve never tried to use a 3D animation engine, but now that you’ve started playing with that, I associate you with the vibe of minimal-effect 3D models. I know that’s very specific and doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it’s in my brain now. Lol.

            There’s not just a switch we can flip to automatically make a good character.

            *Sadness* If only.

              Does Everette have a board??? I want an Everette board!!!

              I can post his and Juliet’s in a minute . . .

              I hope one of them dies in the end.

              Really? 🙄🤣

              I’m also hoping Everette and Sara get married in the future. So… maybe he shouldn’t die.

              I will reveal nothing . . . 🤭

                    “snipercore” lol

                    idk if that’s a word but IT’S A WORD NOW

                    CROSSHAIR AND MUNDY FOREVER BABY

                    (gonna regret saying that in a decade when this shows up on some old internet log and I have a chance, however small, of being like ‘who do those names belong to again?’ But whatever)

                     

                    Yes to reptiles and sci-fi, every time. Lol

                    and hey, I don’t know what “minimal effect” 3d models are (google was no help either) but it sounds cool so

                                  Yeah, maybe just thoroughly thrashed.

                                   

                                  I’m honestly hoping he gets arrested or something after this test.

                                  Knowing Hybridlore he won’t. *sigh*
