Love Meme

It's December, guys! The month of togetherness, family, love,
1. Post with a list of your characters, similar to on the game-wide HMD.
2. Reply to others, and tell them everything you think is awesome about them.
3. Spread the love!

You are an incredible writer, first and foremost. The way you string words together is always creative and interesting, and you can do everything from the humorous to the solemn in ways that I never find stale or boring.
And on top of that, dude, your characterization? INCREDIBLE. You're playing characters who I have literally never seen anybody else take on, one because they're obscure and two because they're DIFFICULT. You play Carmen Sandiego both as a gimmicky edutainment figure (flawlessly, I might add-- that shit is HARD and I never understand how you have the patience to do so much research and keep it interesting) AND as a fully-fleshed-out, interesting woman with depth and pathos. You play ALBERT, whose snark is probably damn hard to keep on top of. But you do it anyway. I just can't even comprehend that. It's awesome.
You just put so much thought into everything and you're always bursting with new ideas and that is amazing.

No, but really, thank you so much. One of the biggest things for me in RP and in writing in general is taking a character and making them feel like an actual person — not just emulating their canon form but actually trying to breathe that extra bit of life into them so they come off as people. So it's always a profound compliment to hear that I've managed that, and doubly so when I've done it well. It's fun to try to incorporate all the different aspects of them into a believable whole, even when there are conflicts or incomprehensible gimmicks to account for. Keeps me on my toes!
And then there's Albert, for whom it's like WELP LET'S SUIT UP AND GO BE NASTY TO PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET FOR A WHILE except it's fun to give him a chance to be a sympathetic and decent guy, too. I like surprising people that way. WOO, COMPLEX AND MULTIFACETED CHARACTERS.
Really, thank you so much. Everything you've said here is about as nice as compliments get, and I'm very nearly flattered beyond words. Though not completely, because as you can see I am in fact finding them right now. ♥
