Rejoining Kyngdom?
(Yes, a lot of threads start with this title...but anyways.)
Hello all! It's me, the annoying, completely ridiculous, attention-stealing Icy. I've finally grown up and gotten this weird thing called 'Maturity', which I formerly did not know of. I'm finally getting rid of my crazy side, and now that I have (with the help of a good dose of social awareness), I need a bit of help.
I want to rejoin Kyngdom, but there are a few issues that I'd like to ask for help with.
1. I want to remake Icy--as far as her personality. (I'm also possibly going to make the random fairy wings--ick--a bit more etheral and less useable, so that she isn't another Homo Avian). I'm trying to fix her and change her into a more real character--and this might include giving her her shy, withdrawn, socially-awkward status back, and saddling her with a few more weaknesses. She's also going to go by her old name, Icicle Soul (cold-souled; her very name is a mark of the distrust between animals and humans, since an animal gave her that name).
Does anyone have any tips for fleshing old characters out again? Please let me know!
2. I've been monitoring Kyngdom, so I don't need any plot updates. However, I do need tips--I want to keep Icy in the action, but towards the side. I don't want her to take part in the main Resistance plot--I want to find an in-between place to walk. Any tips on that?
Thanks!

ICYYYY!!! Yes, please rejoin Kyngdom! We'd love to have you back! I don't have any answers to your questions right now, but I wanted to say that I've been feeling similarly about my characters. I was much younger when I first created them, and I feel like I didn't do a very good job on their personalities or backgrounds, and they all feel very cliched.
But yeah, I think it would be great if you rejoined Kyngdom.

*screams* YES ICY I'VE BEEN MISSING YOU!!! Like, a lot!! Please do come back!!!
1. So, as for remaking Icy, my advice is to just go with what you feel is best. I remake my characters' personalities all the time...they sort of mold and shift until they finally click into the right place. One thing that helps me remake my charries is to write random short stories about them, anywhere from chapters to a few short paragraphs. They really help you get a feel for who your character is/how they act.
2. Okay, here are my thoughts:
1) We make a new RP for the characters floating around Kyngdom outside of the main plot who haven't really gotten sucked into a storyline of their own yet.
2) We RP as our characters on the same thread, but their stories start out separate.
3) Either they eventually manage to find their way to other parts of the plot, or they meet up somehow, thus creating a new storyline. Think of it like...a character nursery. A place to build their personalities while waiting to find their way into a plot. Kind of like the 'Normality' thread but, erm, different.
But that's just my collaboration-loving self coming out. I love RPing with other people, and I would totally join that thread. If you're looking for something a little different, though, you could RP on the Power thread. Hopefully you'll find the perfect spot for Icy one way or another!

Icy! I feel the same. All the characters I've tried to do are just......... blurgh. I just wrote them when I was, ahem, to put it lightly, VERY bad at making characters off the fly. Plus it didn't particularly help that every time I tried to join, other people just ignored my posts. Sorry, I'm still rather sore on that point. Maybe everybody was just so into the plot that they never noticed me, or maybe they just....
Oh well. 'Tis in the past. I'm hoping to re-join Kyngdom thread sometime, maybe as an... *Drumroll please*
ILI PIKA!
They are the cutest lil' things! They also are related more closely to the rabbot than anything else. They are actually of the rabbot family. They, instead of normal rabbits, have a voice, and emit a small eep eep eep noise.
Or maybe as a Banded Linsang. So very slinky. Sorry, this post has no tips for re-joining, it's kind of unhelpful.......

Icy! You're back, why did you leave we need you I'm so glad you're back! *wants to hug* *isn't sure if that's okay* *hugs herself instead* *falls over*
I don't know how to remake old charries very well. I'm trying to figure that out. Maybe list all of the traits she's ever had and some more that she could have, and then select some combination of them.
I'm keeping my charries active by RPing about what they're doing (because they'll always look for things to do when they're bored), and giving them personal character arcs, and yet none of them, save perhaps one, are part of the main plot. One is chilling at home, one is out with the Elites, one is in the woods taking a break from her old life, and one is tagging along in the lower ranks of the Resistance.
I think you can find Icy a path in the wilds and not-so-wilds of Kyngdom, traveling with the Oracle like where you left off, looking for the Powers. Finding nothing, or something, or something that's not what you're looking for. Developing as a person, or I guess as a character. People change. You can change her. Write about it happening naturally.

Yeah, this reminds me, I've been meaning to make a Kyngdom character... *smiles ashamedly* I like the idea about having a new RP for all the people just kinda floating around. My charrie is, I think, gonna have been captured by Catastrophe and need to be rescued?
