THE QUESTIONS MEME

A first big 'n successful round of apps has concluded and the game is getting off to a roll - since there are always brains to be picked and new pals and acquaintances to be made, how's about we all play a little getting-to-know-you game?

HOW TO PLAY:
• Leave a comment below with your name and the characters who you play.
• Respond to others' comments with questions - they can be about their characters, their current in-game plans or things they'd like to play, their CR, RP in general, their canons and fandoms, or most anything else.
• Answer questions you've received! Keep it short or TL;DR to your heart's content, depending on how much you have or are in the mood to say!
• After each answer you give, ask a question back to the person who answered you. Keep the thread of questioning up for as long as both parties are game!
• Go for it - make friends, make new plans, make anything you like!

Whenever I do RPGs, I've always been drawn to wizards and spellcasters so that's one reason. I like the versatility that the class affords you. But hearing Taako steal shoes and lie about it, and then later when the story really gets going, how he's both the comic relief and part of the heart of the series, it made it easy to want to play him. People said I'd probably like Taako as a character but I didn't think I'd be able to actually play him until around Episode 50 or so when I got a better view of his backstory.

I think, if I were to go back and change characters though? I'd probably go with Magnus. He's a giant dumb dork and rushes into things, but that change of pace - from Taako's cautious cunning to Magnus' always-do-good attitude - might be refreshing.

If you didn't play Temple, what character are you drawn to next?

I love the trickster aspect of Taako too! And how he’s really fun!

I haven’t gotten to the angst in TAZ yet but I have heard vague things about it, and I can definitely see how Taako would become more compelling once the story gets more dramatic and his backstory gets revealed.

If I didn’t play Temple, I would probably be playing Norm the Genie from Fairly OddParents. He combines Temple’s villain with a tragic backstory (though Norm’s backstory isn’t treated as tragic by the show. Like, it objectively is tragic but FOP doesn’t care about that.) and Temple’s character-used-by-others, which he strikes back against, with the trickster quality that Taako has. And Norm has been my fave ever since I first joined fandom, back in 2009.

And if I was to have a muselist the size of a normal DWRPer’s, I would likely add:

- Alpha and/or Epsilon Church from Red vs. Blue
- Biff from Red vs. Blue, if I’m not the only person with a Temple
- Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown
- Pearl from Steven Universe
- maybe Greed from FMA:B, if I still feel like it once I actually finish the series
- a character with lots of canonmates/castmates available in DWRP because I see everyone with all their canonmates/castmates and get real jealous sometimes, lol

The most compelling story in it is actually, I think Magnus's, but I'll let you decide on your own! I enjoy TAZ:B a lot. I need to start listening to Amnesty again - I fell out of it around late summer because I got busy.

Also I've spent most of my DWRP time as a LCW and it isn't so bad. That's when you get to expand on your character, learning about their IC interactions and how they adjust to new and challenging scenarios. I think that's the greatest challenge for RPers - staying IC while brunting up against these unexpected situations and people.

Yeah, true.

I do like being a LCW quite a lot. But when I see stuff like the enormous numbers of Fate/ and Kingdom Hearts and Granblue Fantasy characters, and how easy it is for them to interact with each other and connect with each other, especially on DWRP memes, it does make me feel kinda lonely. It’s hard to explain but yeah...
