To everyone who has ever stalled a character concept because "it's already been done before" --

I want to take this golden opportunity to point out that the basic outline of core's character Elia Vendrask is not particularly new or original, yet there are presently three pages of kudos and honors on her death thread.

Your character concept does not have to be ground-breaking for your character to shine. You do not need a convoluted background in order to stand out from the crowd. You just need to play your concept faithfully, and let the chips fall where they may.

That is all.

Good point!

I'm just saying this for my post count.

I concur.

Well, playing an extremely quirky, crazy character can be very tough. On the flip-side, playing an utter stereotype gets boring quickly. Your character has to have intricacies, nuances and some amount of originality. Elia had numerous small nuances, mostly that people didn't see, unless they were on the wrong side of the quarantine cell!

Keep it simple, I'd say. You'll get tangled up in a convoluted concept easily! Come up with a concept you like, and go for it.

I would like to do a 'It's been done before' post, with a link to an earlier thread that is somewhat similar.

But, tbh.

I can't be arsed.

I somehow am not convinced that the number of posts behind a "my guy died, here are screenshots" is actually a scientific method of determining if a character was great.

Often, its really a measure of how many players like the player whose character died.

That's preposterous. core is a total wank.

Who the hell is core

Well, here I am shooting down all your ideas, If you've thought of it, It has probably been done before and repeated numerous times. So don't think your special!

Where can I sign up for the core fanboi club, it seems very large and I hate missing out on the 'in' things!

Is that to say, that people want to be in core?

That can't be true; imagine the many posts Kalandra's topic would earn!

Oh burn.

Pfft Im in Cores Fanboy List. One of my chars got killed by her and Cassey Sassy Raised me. And my current char has done some plotting so Im Cores Biggest Fan! Even before Elia BEAT THAT!

I was a fan of core when he played Faybian Vyle in alpha.

Shhh, Calculol. Core isn't an eman.

Scalebane doesn't get the joke.

Such a noob.

Sorry, 9lives, but I have to say that I don't get it either.

Please enlighten us?

Explain it so it loses it's hidden funny-ness?

:lol:

Wait....9lives had a since of humor?

The very concept of this thread is quirky and convoluted, but the sheer amount of replies to it prove its effectiveness! Good job!

In other news: core vs. 'borous, to the death. Friday night, 8pm, 9 Central. FOX.

What is a kiaring oh god how did i get here i am not good with computer

Everyone loves core, and Dr Dragon will too if you like them kind of young :oops:

This thread has been officially derailed, and has now instigated FEMA action (for more information, go to http://www.fema.gov/). Formaldehyde concerns are put on hold, and this thread is locked to allow for a more thorough investigation.

p.s. the basic idea behind the thread, I agree with. Don't worry if something has been done before, after all, just about everything that can be done on earth has been done by one of the other 6 billion people on the planet, including such gems as shoving spoons in their asses hilt deep. I've seen it happen.
