Making a choice? Not sure... (Indecisive rambles)


Avery

453 views

Well, hello and greetings from the mind of a person that simply wishes to expand upon a world. My name is Avery, and I decided to make a little blog thing to basically... I'm not sure, just ramble about random things that come to mind? I guess that's what happens around here sometimes, having people post random goings on or story purposes.

I don't normally do blog type sayings, though I feel that just changing my status isn't a good idea when trying to express something. Like the ever boggling question of joining Canterlot Chronicles, or World of Equestria. I always feel like I should make an effort to make it so that I'm contributing to the community, and that means sharing my ideas with everyone, which I love to do. ...Thing is, it's extremely hard for me to make it so.

I know there are the certain rules that should be followed so that people won't put in something like an over-the-top character, Like a forgotten Princess of Ice that was trapped within the frozen wastelands of northern Equestria during the tragic loss of the Crystal Empire a thousand years ago. Though there is a lot of potential for a story arc like that, however, people are forced to turn away from CC and WoE because of those rules and only stick with FFA.

Now, I'm not pushing on the rules at all, though it does put myself at a very deep disadvantage when immersing myself into the world of Equestria. As one of my characters, ironically named Avery, cannot be put into those groups. Because of certain ordeals that I can understand, though it makes me feel guilty that I can't contribute to the community when sitting on the sidelines in FFA. As it seems to be the only place I can... freely do whatever I so desire. Not that I don't mind... though it feels as if I'm missing out on a lot of the RPs that go on, missing out on a lot of the fun moments that I could have.

I want to join CC and WoE... though I'm forced not to because I won't be as immersed as I want to be. A lot of my other characters, are just... ponies that go about their lives. There's... not a lot to do with a stubborn Gemspony, an isolated Violinist, and a stuck up Drama Queen. I do have one other present character... a Changeling... though he's never going to see the light of day just like Avery won't. Though I have these other characters I could use... I only made them because I felt that it would be good to introduce them someway in the future.

My mind is still trying to recover from my two year avoidance of the fandom in and of itself, so their personalities besides the mains that I worked heavily on are almost non-existent. But I still want to join in with everyone else... but how can I with barely any characters to really use?

*sigh* Now, I know you might be thinking "So... why don't you work on those characters as well?" I would, and I should... if not for the fact that I can't stay on one topic for long. It's hard for me to keep to one topic and be happy with it, I usually need a friend to help me along... else I get depressed. All of these characters I have a basic storyline for, and that's all you really need for a good character... it's just that I'm trying to make a connection with them again. Having that connection is what truly makes RP so fun.

Though, it puts me in a valley of right and wrong. Each cliff looks the same, so which one am I supposed to climb in order to climb out safely? Should I risk being depressed in order to have another character to work with? Or should I just wait for another day? Or should I just forget it and work on something else? It's just so much on my mind, too much to just calm down and work.

I've been trying to restrict myself to one fandom at a time... though it seems that I can't sway away from others. There's too many stories to be told, to be shared, and I want to expand upon the worlds that I see, to give more creativity to people. I... that... *sigh* I just don't know what to do with trying to join in with either CC or WoE, because it's really hard just to get the one character that I want to use to explore that world so that I can be immersed to the best that I can be.

Oh well, I chose this. Avery's an Alicorn, I'm not changing that fact. Son of Celestia to explain why he's an Alicorn, and him being missing for the past so many years to explain why he wasn't mentioned before. Forgotten and lost, almost never to be heard or seen from again. That's... part of the story I laid down in stone, and it took 5 years to make it perfect. Nothing too bad, nothing too good, nothing to make it out of character, everything is in it's right place.

...I should stop before I make this into a story time segment, heheh. Anyway, I'm just rambling here, you don't have to listen. Just letting out steam that's built up so it doesn't bust my brain.

I hope you have a wonderful day, and a lovely night, until we meet again.

Apologies in advance if this was all rhetorical, and people weren't supposed to respond to it.

 

I think there's no shame in sticking with FFA.  There's a lot there that can't be done elsewhere, and it's no less valid a part of the site than any other.

 

After reading through this though, I am wondering: is there no way you could adapt any of the characters you're invested in, to fit with CC or WoE?  I get the idea of not wanting you use characters you aren't attached to, it's why I basically only used one character for a while, so with that in mind is it possible to make alternate versions of some of the characters, which preserve the really important bits?

 

This might be a bad example, as I don't want to make you change anything you don't want to change, but why is Avery an alicorn?  How does he use that, and what about his character requires that to function?  Him being Celestia's offspring would probably be hard to manage, but if the goal is to have a connection to nobility and having him go missing, that could probably be accomplished by having him as a long lost son of a noble family.

Personally I have the same issue with boring characters and get detached pretty quickly unless i have a prompt to stick with them... *Whispers* I like RPing crazy characters because they are complete up to how you feel that day~

But I can't use them that well in Pony stuff though xD
