Something something Tolkien's works dares to be honest that there is no amount of fantasy where anyone amasses that power and remains good... because power, in the end, even if wield with good intent, is still corruption.

Prefacing this to say that I usually write women, so let's see...

- A soft-hearted, sheltered lady of sorts, whether that is an heiress or royalty. Gentle and kind, with an almost otherworldly innocence that is interpreted as docile protector. She does not come off as strong or secure, clever, or in any way academic. 100% Conservative and has a limited, practical knowledge, a small worldview, and meek character. Not suffering financially. Most likely to have internalized -isms of sorts
- A restless daydreamer for a public servant, with canny, shrewd attention span; misses nothing and wants everything. Expressive. Easy to underestimate, given her general noisiness, chattiness, and aura of delight: one would rarely guess her repertoire of accomplishments. Makes empathy her house of worship, condemns violent rhetoric by nurturing hope.
- A charming, young man, capable of being terrible. An (overly) romantic with idealistic sandbox dreams of revolution to the total cost of a crusade. A soldier that was made disenchanted by the Establishment he had served. Puts the Rage in Courage: locked, loaded, and too much of a good thing. Steadily being cannibalized by his own quest.


Lately, been craving to write a Prodigal Prince of sorts, sorta like Prince Aegon Targaryen from House of the Dragon :-*

Claim possession still exists, albeit not a central issue anymore.

I've seen first hand a crowd sweep in, create ten+ characters in a span of a week, racing for certain popular claims, only to end up with 0 posts across the board by the time the monthly AC rolls by; that, or post once to make the AC and disappear again, rinse and repeat.

I've seen this with ic leadership roles too; individuals who want ic clout but do nothing to earn or prove why they deserve such ic clout. This I pick more issue with than faceclaims, especially if it's a narrative rp where certain roles are needed.

It's more along the lines of "maintaining" characters rather than "making" characters.

My experience incorporates two communities. In the rl rpc I've seen rules state that the first two character are free, but going onwards a member must have at least one thread active on all accounts in order to make a new character; I've never seen them use a site store before. Whereas in the animanga rpc (or the sites that I've been on) character creation is a site store purchase (again, hinges on activity bc a member must post to gain enough coins to create characters.) Which I also find fair. It teaches writers how to efficiently maintain their time & the limitations of said time.
