@Stinky:

I'm definitely all for it and all the weirdness, though. Especially when I love at least 7 or 8 of the characters on your character bingo. I actually have a character that I've been writing about that's been trying to publicly portray himself as a villain, and I love him as a character because he's definitely a doof. Kinda like if Megamind, Sirius Black, Blaine (iZombie) and probably Bucky (Captain America's buddy) or Static Shock had melded into an off-brand anti-hero like Deadpool, or Jack Sparrow... Or just Sirius Black. (I originally based his character off a combination of Sirius Black, Venom, and Bucky.)
And I have The Lies of Locke Lamora, but I haven't read it, yet. How good is it?

This is why I love old literature, and old music... Because they make wild predictions, or make jokes that can hit home years down the line.

@MaxIsConfused:

I'd honestly love to see a Himbo, and highly-respected Studious Nerd romance. Not like pairings from "She's All That", or "Don't Be Cruel"... Like, I would love to see characters like Troy from "Community" and Kyoya from "Ouran High Host Club" paired up in a story.

@GoblinsAndTea:

Howl Jenkins has been one of my favourite muffins for a long time, and I loved how he was written in the books. How he truly loved Sophie with his whole self. (He consistently put himself on the line to make sure that she was safe.)
Have you tried "Monstrous Regiment" or any of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books?
Mezzo is definitely a good one for a tough, but sensitive, female character. Though, I find Warrior Nun has a nice range in female characters -- from sensitive and kind to 'Will curb stomp you given the right circumstances".

@Stinky:

I love how there are some creeps, sweethearts, and misunderstood characters in there. As well as sassy Toph, and dutiful Link. Personally, I love Toph and Megamind as characters so much. Namely because they don't let any of their flaws or weaknesses get in their way. They still rise to meet any challenge given to them. Not to mention that Megamind is such an awesome character in the fact that he can play multiple roles within a story, and nail them all.

@ghost:

I nearly snorted over this. If I hadn't learned to perse my lips and hold myself together, I would've been chortling and snorting over this. Like, it can be a complete and utter mood for me to want nothing but the greasiest disasters, sad dilf vibes, and the rest. Mixed Messages actually became my favourite sleazeball anthem for whenever I need a little fix.

I even have a Dirge Bard Gnoll in the DnD campaign that I'm in who literally wreaks of unhinged disaster. In all seriousness, I would describe him as an unhinged idiotic mess that's food obsessed. His whole goal in life is to travel and see things, but he'll get distracted by food and laughing while he torments party members -- one in particular. We have someone who's playing a Catfolk -- specifically a tiger. My character torments theirs out of fear. I don't think the other player has realized this, yet. So, they consistently attempt attacks on my character. Now, because I'm a bard, and they're a rogue... I've merely had fun just messing with them, mentally. Auditory hallucinations, attempts to anchor them to their shadow, fashioning a shiv out of bones, viciously mocking them, and turning my nose up at the thought of sniffing their butt. (I made his prior profession: Butt-sniffing. He also has a pre-occupation with butt-sniffing.) In our last session, we literally cornered the Catfolk into a Sex Ed conversation with mine thanks to an adult fun time dungeon room. Me and the DM were wheezing from laughter as we planned it out the night before.

I love how I might actually be one of the younger ones here. I keep thinking that the next GEN has taken over avatar sites with how social they are, but I guess more for us, then?

sunny:

Yeah definitely not too old for Voltra! Welcome :) You're a writer? Me too! What kind of stuff do you write?

NSFW stuff, romance, adventure fantasy, supernatural, and some poetry. I keep wanting to break into horror and comedy writing, but I feel the need to practice both with some prompts before giving a full-blown effort on that front.
I've been taking a number of courses that I'm confident will help me with my writing, and will even help as I try my hand as a freelancer editor -- looking to work more as a Developmental Editor than anything else. (Currently working through Canadian Literature, and Human Sexuality alongside going through several classes through MasterClass. Even putting together a Literary Binder, two sites, and even trying to build on my Werdsmith portfolio.)

Was hoping to see what kinds of characters everyone likes~?
Whether it's the rowdy hero, the brooding love interest, vague protagonist, the dazzling upperclassman/senior, bad boy that's super sweet, good guy with lots of edges, or something else~?

Just came over to check the place out, and see what's going on~
You can call me Mauve, or Niall. I'll probably be hanging out over with the writers, but I do love to play word games~
Probably a little too old to be hanging around on avatar sites (29), but while I'm back at schooling, and setting up a pair of sites... Hmm, may as well have some fun while I'm at it, right?
