Yeah haha.. I just didn't mention that mistake to avoid awkwardness ^^;

Anyone know that feeling when you have to do some kind of small project/assignment and the possibilities are limitless?
Specifically, that feeling of "too many options, yet I can't think of a single thing to do"?
Bleh.
I get that all the time.
Yeah... It's bloody annoying, especially since this thing is due soon.
One of the many reasons I don't like English classes: interpreting the themes and ideas of a chapter in a book in the form of a mini-"representation"-project.

Reminds me of my Steam library..
It would remind me of my rather minimal Steam Library (and assortment of other games) but then if I'm on my good computer I can just go:
"SCREW IT: SKYRIM!"

This is why I can't make characters. Too many options and no plan of where I'm gonna go.
I'd give you advice but I have no idea how I come up with half my characters.
The other half start off by taking personalities and/or appearances of characters I like and tweaking them until I have something almost completely different.
-I started with an appearance in this case. I was watching Hellsing/Hellsing Ultimate at the time and really liked Alucard's design.
-I take an old race idea I had for an RPG, the "Enigma" as I called them way back then. On a whim, I changed their name to Espers. I apply said race to Alucard's design. Hm. I want this character to have blue hair; they tend to have awkward hair colors. One of their predominant features are their catlike red eyes. The story I want this character in (at the time) takes place on a modernish Earth, where aliens and other creatures are unknown by most of the population. I really like Alucard's sunglasses, let's keep those - they'll let him hide his eyes. Heck, let's make him light-sensitive too; another reason for the shades and a legit excuse.
-Tone down the victorian a tad. Remove red longcoat; replace with more modern red longcoat. Oh hey, maybe that was an old science coat from like the 60s or something - the design in my head looks kinda like something Area 51ish. Sure, let's say he found it when he arrived at Earth and took a liking to it. Maybe his race is used to warmer temperatures too. Yeah, that'll do.
-Remove floppy red hat. I love that thing but there are limits.
-Make his hair messier! And shorter. He seems like the kind of character who would have messy hair.
Okay let's leave the visuals there for now. Name? Personality?
-Well in the old RPG I had a Enigma/Esper character named Aris. I like that name, but it's too short. Combine it with random things... Most of these sound terrible. I used to use the name Shade online. Shadearis? Sounds weird. Shaadaris? Ooo, nice. I like it. Let's go with that! Shaadaris Cerq!
-Personality? Well in the story this guy pretty much doomed his race to destruction in order to stop them from invading Earth as a new home for their species. I imagine he'd be pretty broken up over that. Kinda depressed on the inside; but he's polite - why? Very proper upbringing. How about royalty? Sure. As such, he hides his despair behind a friendly and calm exterior. Kind of a cloudcuckoolander - he is from another world after all - doesn't understand human culture, not good with their languages, figures of speech confuse him.
Etc. Etc.
I just keep changing things, removing/adding, making big and little edits until I have a character I'm satisfied with as being different enough from the original idea..
While it may not be in order, this is pretty much how I came up with the original drafts for the character Shaadaris. Starting with something, changing it until it's completely different.
WELP time for bedz.. it was nice being here again, I'll try to post more often ^ w^
Good night everyone~
Depressing loss on that last mission. Sq. Duff botched a point blank shotgun shot somehow and got fucked up by plasma fire, so she had to backtrack towards Capt. Lawrence, who had the medkit, then right as she reached her, caught another plasma round to the head.
Aww.... I can't have a title much longer than ʘ̢͉̻͇̠͋ͧ̽ͩ×̡͕̰͈͔̹̬́̆̓ͧÞ̝̣̩̳̬̉̒͢ͅʮ̝̥̯̣ͪͯ̅ because all the goofy bits count towards the length cap

the length cap is in place because i don't want to see titles that are gigantifuckhuge.
I dislike titles that go over one line, and that's possible with the current length. I do not want to make it go to
*shudder*

I keep losing my assault troopers
I suck at Kerbal Space Program.
I installed a weapons mod.
I still suck at KSP, but now my stuff explodes a lot more!

Yay, explosions! One of the most fun parts about KSP to be sure.
