1. Why might other characters like your character?
It's a Corps of Medics! They exist to help those in need, and as a whole they're friendly, although they're not allowed to reveal personal information, which might cause some problems...
2. Why might other characters dislike your character?
Anyone that's attacking whatever the PMCC's lending assistance to obviously won't like them; even in non-combative situations, however, they're generally closed about their personal lives, and don't exactly like to reveal their mission, which can be irritating to their allies.
3. Why do you like playing your character?
It's both a group and a single person. It's a group obviously because there's multiple people forming it, but it also means that each person needs their own distinct personality; they aren't just bunched up as a unit. At the same time, they all fight as one, and in their unity lies their greatest strength.
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with?
Other than simply trying to keep each and every single Medic on the team on level with each other and distinct from one another, nothing much; perhaps the level of interaction each Medic gets.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength?
Their strength lies in their unity; they all share the same end beliefs, goals, and ends. Should any dividing force come in between them, their strength is lost, and they essentially just become individual men with guns; while still potent, are definitely much less stronger than if they were to be fighting as a coordinated unit.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character?
Their unity, their willpower, their beliefs. They are driven with the will to help others, to help each other in times of need, and when fighting alongside one another, they are almost unbeatable.

1. Why might other characters like your character? They don't.
2. Why might other characters dislike your character? She is unerving. Souless. Detached from any emotion. Unable to understand emotions. Or why things make people feel the way to do.

4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with? Finding somewhere for you to be.. It makes it hard to RP her.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength? She relies heavily on her ball, but she can still evade and hit quickly... She was built to be perfect. She is made of metal, so she isn't exactly fragile. But, the metal would be light enough so she could dance and move about as quickly.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character? She's an emotionless weapon imitating a dead girl. ... Take what you want from that.
1. Why might other characters like your character? [Well I’m always smiling aren’t I?] She is someone that has accepted all of her weaknesses and flaws therefore she can accept those from others besides she is always looking up for the weak. 2.

1. Why might other characters like your character? Well, first of all, Vi is a bit outgoing and carefree, so more liberal characters would like her a lot. Also, she's got the whole 'Really-tough-but-if-you-get-to-know-her-she's-actually-pretty-nice' thing going on...that's called 'Tsundere,' right? She's also fiercely loyal, and will keep on fighting for friends until the end.
2. Why might other characters dislike your character? She's an obnoxious loudmouth with an addiction to breaking things over other people's heads. She flouts authority figures; the more authority, the more she disobeys them. She calls people names, even if it's only jokingly, and is blunt about everything she says. In other words, she's socially numb.
3. Why do you like playing your character? Just to get the obvious out of the way: Vi is AWESOME. Also, back on ye olde forums, I always had two choices; RP an OC who is at a severe disadvantage because his combat skills suck, or RP a guy who is designed to be ridiculously OP so that he doesn't have to worry about getting dragged into fights or having a 'You have been slain' sign over his head. I got flak for being both useless and overpowered, and it was exhausting. Then, when I did get a champion, it was a champion I'm not very good at in-game, and he's also widely unpopular, so I never had anything to do, or any clue how to do it with. Vi is a champion I not only understand thoroughly, but who also has an excuse to be proficient at combat. Another thing is that her snarky attitude really fits well with mine IRL, so I don't have to think too hard to talk how she talks.
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with? Her ability to hold onto a grudge. People who know me well know I cannot hold a grudge. You could be the guy who ripped my arm off, and in a week and a half, I'd be inviting you to tea or something, or begging you for forgiveness, because I'm apparently the one at fault. Vi, on the opposite side of the spectrum, is capable of holding grudges for years, if not lifetimes. Another problem is that I'm prone to mood swings. Vi has no reason in her lore to expect mood swings of the same caliber. I dealt with it before by having more-or-less sixteen different characters who I would RP given my variety of moods. But now, I'm going to have to try harder to stick to certain, more common moods for Vi.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength? Running out of steam. Literally. Vi's gauntlets run off of steam power, and while the crystal heating the water is pretty much infinite, the water is not. There is an atmospheric water induction system installed, but if she exerts her gauntlets too much in a short period of time, they'll pretty much buzz to a stop and become non-functioning until they've built up enough steam to move again. She also gets overconfident, which is a huge disadvantage in combat.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character? Just one? Aw, great. Now I have to make a choice, because there are really two different strengths she has, her loyalty and her gauntlets. But I'll stick to the gauntlets. The gauntlets are steam-powered mech fists capable of lifting, crushing, punching, wrecking, and destroying things many times their size and weight. They're also incredibly fast, which is surprising considering the weight of the gauntlets themselves. The gauntlets and the power system that allows them to move and hold onto her basically turn her into an unstoppable juggernaut in terms of melee physical combat.
Post by Alexis 'Mute' Lindser on Mar 25, 2013 16:52:15 GMT -5
1. Why might other characters like your character? Alexis can be considered sympathetic due to her condition and her station in life, and she is kind to those she cares about.
2. Why might other characters dislike your character? Her condition could be seen as annoying, given that it takes her a little longer to respond than a person who can speak, and her brutality when confronted could be seen as excessive, even in Noxus.
3. Why do you like playing your character? I enjoy playing Alexis because she gives me a chance to explore body language, which is something I have trouble with understanding in real life.
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with? The body language is difficult to deal with, though I enjoy playing it out- also, it's going to be hard to approach her cruelty with those who anger her; I'm not a naturally violent or mean person.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength? Alexis' muteness does give her an undeniable weakness, but she's also not very physically strong- she's got the necessary strength to carry a load of dishes or laundry, but nothing that would allow her to overpower a person.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character? She's resourceful- she lived on the streets of Noxus for two months as a mute woman with no major physical strength, so she could get by in a number of situations.

1. Why might other characters like your character
She's very genuine, and tries very hard not to step on anyone's toes. The neutral may like her because she doesn't cause a lot of friction. The good may like her because of her genuinity and her own sense of good. The evil may like her because she is naive and easy to deceive/manipulate.
2. Why might other characters dislike your character?
Nova is very non-confrontational, which to many can be viewed as frustrating. She's also very non-committal (she has trouble picking sides) which can cause sparks. Her lack of visible strengths in typical fields (physical strength, endurance, offensive magic, etc) makes her seem useless to some parties.
3. Why do you like playing your character?
Because she's so small. She isn't very powerful but she works hard just to be significance. She's an incredible force but she's not incredible. She's small and shy and wonderful...and I just really love her.
4. What area of your characters RP do you struggle with?
There's a fine balance between Nova's strengths and weaknesses and I feel like I either swing too far one way or the other. Her balance is hard to reach. I also feel like I really struggle with not making eveyr character ever some form of Sue but that's a personal issue...
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance her strength?
Sometimes I feel the better question is What strengths have you given your character to offset her weaknesses? But let's think. While her magical ability should be powerful, it's mostly defensive summoner spells and her empathy. In regards to her empathy, although she can detect most people's emotions, the following limitations do apply: She has no idea what certain aura colors mean, she cannot read the emotion of anything distinctly outside of the realm of human/void touched/undead or anyone who has defined control over their emotional state (Such as Karma or Shen). On top of that, a good Empath should be able to bend the emotions of others with her own....she's lucky if her's don't get bent out of shape. Non-magically, she's still a great social character, but she lacks physical strength and often, physical presence. Or, in DnD terms she has great charisma but low intimidation/high diplomacy. She's reasonably intelligent, but has few friends. She can't swim, is afraid of the dark, and totally naive. She's also near-sighted.
6. What is one defining strength of your character?
The value she holds in her beliefs. Nova is incredibly passive, small, and often terrified by the looks of things....but she has a set of beliefs that she will stand behind and defend with everything she has. She would lose anything to defend her beliefs and values (except another belief or value).

1. Why might other characters like your character?
When he doesn't want to kill you he can be quite nice, although the chance of seeing that side of him is quite small, as he is mostly neutral or in a killing mood.
2. Why might other characters dislike your character?
He kills for fun and doesn't give a shit about anyone he doesn't know. He's also an assassin and a part of the Glorious Evolution, which will probably cause some people to dislike him.
3. Why do you like playing your character?
He lets me explore a darker side of me, as I don't really threaten people to cut their throat if they push me. He also proves a bit of a challenge, as he is a psycho that kills for fun.
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with?
Well, I think that it's to not kill everyone also not to be too kind as well. As he is almost the complete opposite of me, it makes it a bit of a challenge to not to try and reason with people and instead threatening them.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength?
Well, since he is a psycho who loves to kill for fun, I decided to make it so that he dislike killing women, as he has too much of respect for them because of his mother. Other than that I gave him a slightly too short fuse, even the slightest thing that annoys him will probably make him try to kill you.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character?
His will to keep killing, he will never back down from a fight unless proven that he can't win (Damn you, Eli). He will also protect those who he respect.

1. Why might other characters like your character?
Oh, really, you flatter me too much.
I'd say that if anyone does like Aatrox, it's more a case of having to. For example, when I'm speaking like this, I have a certain...convincing tone about me. Also, he's revered as a 'savior' still thanks to all the historical accounts. Any people who haven't done much research would think that I'm actually on their side. Ha!
2. Why might other characters dislike your character?
Hello? Demigod of War here? Ok, not really a demigod, but really, I start wars. People may remember me as a war ender, but people know me as a war igniter. Anyone who's caught me in my craft is likely to be rather ticked at me.
And Tryndamere. Because aww, did you like your village? I thought it was a bit too quaint for someone as much of a meathead as you.
3. Why do you like playing your character?
Puts me on the world stage. Lets me think about things. Who could I kill to get these people angry at those people? Do we really need that city-state to be unified? How can I keep my plans a secret? It also means I get to be in on a couple of Swain's plans, like [REDACTED] or [REDACTED TOO].
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with?
Same thing I like about RPing him. You have to be dipping your hands in EVERY honey pot. You lose track of certain diplomatic interactions (like Jarvan III being poisoned) then you lose track of ALL the diplomatic interactions.
Also, his lore doesn't give you much to work with.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength?
Ha! Weakness? What is this--ok, yea, I've got weaknesses.
I rely on my sword to keep me alive. While it's potent, it needs blood every so often to keep it powered, and if I can't get a victim's blood, it needs my blood instead, which doesn't drive it as potently.
If I don't get fresh blood for too long, I revert to a hibernation state, where I can't be killed, but I can't do anything else either; I'm turned into a statue until I'm given a blood offering to reawaken me.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character?
I'm a symbol of victory in war for a reason. I can walk into almost any battle and change the tides in my favor. It means anyone who's got me on their side can count on much easier victories.

1. Why might other characters like your character?
He's a likable guy! He doesn't argue much, enjoys others company, and isn't forceful. Heck, I bet even Demacians would like him!
2. Why might other characters dislike your character?
He's Noxian, so a lot of Demacians may just look over anything positive about him and concentrate on the rivalry. Also, he can be klutzy and inconsistent sometimes.
3. Why do you like playing your character?
He's really the guy I want to be, in both appearance and personality. It's a bit like living a fantasy. Also, it's nice to make the more serious characters a bit less on edge. We can't run around constantly proclaiming the end of the world, now, can we? :)
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with?
His innate ability to be charming. I never realized how many people would like a bumbling klutz.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength?
He can't use magic without what may be considered the biggest non-League sanctioned mana battery in existence. If he lost it or broke it, sure magic would have no effect on him...but he'd be cut off from the entire world.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character?
His positive attitude! Keeping people positive wins both in League and in real life!
Sometimes, when you've been stuck alone for long enough, you just have to break out into reality, with no regard for what position it may put you in. It is better to try and fail than to never try.

1. Why might other characters like your character?
I think other characters will like Tyrith because he is direct. He has a firm stance on what he feels is right and wrong, but in his travels he has come to understand that "right and wrong" are relative. If one person has to die so that twenty others can live, Tyrith will comply but have no joy in doing so.
He is also reliable to a fault. Willing to help just about anyone, regardless of their alliances or disposition.
He is kind with a bit of a humorous nature and truly enjoys the company of others.
2. Why might other characters dislike your character?
He can be a bit of a smart-ass and has a wild streak. He can sometimes come off as condescending when he knows a lot about a particular subject.
For Males: He is competitive by nature, even though his talents are somewhat limited.
For Females: His use of the word "Dear" as a term of endearment may be off putting to many. He also comes off as an ass when he is intentionally trying to hit on a woman.
3. Why do you like playing your character?
I like the idea that he, at his core, is a liar. He created a false persona that he can't let go of for fear that people will see the truly damaged soul within him. He longs to gain acceptance somewhere after losing his mother and adoptive father. Inside he is more like a frightened child than anything else, and that intrigues me.
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with?
Keeping up the false bravado while still making him seem real. I've been writing mock posts with him to get some practice with it, an they seem alright, but at some points he seems like a poorly written old school super hero, without the powers.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength?
The fact that he is not actually a trained fighter is a major counter-balance, as he really has no strength to speak of. He is a talented blacksmith and machinist, but beyond that he doesn't really have a major strength, unless you count bluffing.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character?
His kind, if rational and guarded, heart.
'Freedom cannot be forced into existence, nor can it be won through painful struggle. Freedom cannot be bought or sold. It has nothing to do with one’s social status; one’s profession is of no consequence. In order for you to accept yourself as you are and live with your soul at peace, you must simply teach yourself to let it be, only then will you discover freedom.'

Well ah, I am usually pretty horrendous at those but I guess I need to clean my mind and slate a bit so as to re-obtain clear consciousness.
1. Why might other characters like your character?
He is always someone that can be reasoned with, he is decisive when required but never to a degree of impulsiveness much like the designations of his training. His avoidance of political affairs will lead people in political turmoil to seek the refuge and information that he could and will provide.
2. Why might other characters dislike your character?
His mind is attached to a concept that is very hard to define on the moral spectrum, he carries no emotion under his breath, can be perceived as a person very prone to compromise and also can be seen as the man who does everything, but does nothing.
3. Why do you like playing your character?
I presume it is because of how much insightful comment that can be injected into his dialogue, because of his lack of emotion, they become very dead pan, which is a personal joy to witness. It is how much that he can bring different viable and illustrative alternatives onto the table that makes him a fascinating character to play when engaging in conversations, debates and arguments, that combined with his information network, gives him that appeal on diplomatic levels.
While in regards to combat, he as can be seen in the game itself, is durable, steady and unwavering, to combine with the speed and lethality of real life ninja practices will be a blast on making the character the anonymity of common place.
4. What area of your character's RP do you struggle with?
First and foremost, he have not seen enough combat for me to comprehend the difficulities behind writing combat scenes, that is something yet to be uncovered in full scale.
But the current matter at hand is the decisiveness that I need to inject into the character as to when he would realise that conversations are pointless and would go for his blade and when he should consider the situation to be too sticky to stay in, it is a matter of how much I inject into the balance and I am not pinning down that hard enough.
5. What weaknesses have you given your character to counter-balance his/her strength?
He struggles with the concept of balance, the very thing that he has sworn to uphold, that is, if he knows what exactly he is upholding. He is most prone to ironies, for a man who that sits still will not weave discord, but when he stands to quell discord, he will upset the balance he have so cautiously attempted to preserve, that is why his moves can be very limited, or requires more planning than most.
6. What is the one defining strength of your character?
He could be regarded as a soul of caution, he have made it thus far because of how cautious and careful he is as a leader and as a individual. He does a lot of things with pre-planning or gathered information, even his taunts on field and off field could be said to be a little... Well, premeditated.
