◣ How's My Driving? ◢
Comment with your character list and people will give you CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM about how you play them.
Any player bashing, character bashing, or anything NON-CONSTRUCTIVE will be dealt with harshly.
Be nice to your fellow players, but be honest too.
☆ BONUS! Name one pro and one con of your RPing that you've noticed as of late.
Reiko
Pro: I feel I still have his voice strongly and he's finally got some good female CR, both significant and superfluous.
Con: I'm paranoid that his development into having male friends outside his canon isn't an obvious journey from points A to B and it will be viewed as ooc.

Pro: He's really branching out and making some friends. I'm also really pleased at the feedback about him using Troll jargon. People seem to like it, and I love that he's developed so much from his experiences here in Vatheon.
Con: He cries. A lot. I feel like this is a problem but also he's still technically only a year or so old so... I don't know.

Are friendships ever an obvious journey to begin with? :P
But no, if you're worried about it being OOC, just look over things from a broader perspective. What kind of interactions has he had with other men, and is what Zelos defining as a "friend" in the Lloyd category or just something else entirely? Is he struggling? Is it for appearances? Does he need to be a little more flippant about things simply because of the new reality of having male acquaintances?
I'm rusty on Symphonia canon so I can't really offer a "HERE GO FIX THIS" line of thought or whatever. Just, if you're worried, dig around a little. Zelos is a complex character anyways, and just coming from one of those male CR peeps, he's still pretty aloof and avoidant and awkward sometimes. So it's not like he's suddenly attached to the hip with other men (I'd be really concerned about OOC matters in that case).
IDK, give yourself a little more credit, and do some fine-tuning if it really does bother you. Make it an exercise in exploring Zelos more, rather than "FUCK I'M DOING IT WRONG". :)

Or should I even worry about that? Should that be something internalized that'll come out if development reveals it? I really don't know.
no subject
The man is full of facades - what he projects and what he really intends can be two different things without it being "bad". Just trying to hear your processing.
no subject
I think I may just need to keep on his emotional development in brackets. I don't feel it's suffering in his actions at all, I just thing Zelos needs to come with footnotes. At the same time, giving too much away in brackets encourages other muns to figure him out so I'm a bit at a loss.
no subject
I guess it's just a matter of who you want to have development with at what times. There's nothing wrong with keeping the brackets simplified or vague or even nonexistent if it's a stranger or someone Zelos doesn't really want to be open around. No need to be paranoid or anything - I think it's fine to vary it based on his relationships with people, and you're doing okay with that. :)
