Description Don't you think?
Actually I feel like I'm the only one who thinks that.xD Most peoples' character have flaws and negative traits, sure... but it usually seems to be there for cuteness (shy, clumsy, naive) or out of obligation (short-tempered, rash, etc. - anything to avoid Mary-Sue trap holes). Or worse yet, people will justify their badness...

So that's why I decided to do a picture of a bunch of my characters showing off their bad traits. Because I love bad traits! They make characters more interesting and whole!

As a matter of a fact... I encurage others to do a picture like this, too! If you, I'll sketch something for you! Be sure to show me if you do, though.

From top-right to bottom-left: Totti (an Eblet) and Corina being hilariously racist, Vanessa and Merl are dirty cheating liars and Valeria is painfully naive. Juniper's manipulative ans Tamas is thick as a brick, Tai-Len is condescending and Rinka's a rule-happy conformist. Alexandria's insensitive and Conif (also an Eblet) is weak-willed and spineless. Noel can't take anything seriously as opposed to Chae who takes EVERYTHING seriously and has a horrible temper (when he loses it, of course) and, of course, Aisha and Klein are both huge flirts. Last but not least are Hina and Rowany. One is bossy, stern and unforgiving and the other is preachy, judgmental and holds grudges for looooong amounts of time; former being Rowany and latter Hina.


I said naive was cutesy but blegh, not Valeria. Actually Valeria's naievete borders on downright annoying considering how much of a pacifist she is. She'll probably give Juniper a heart attack. And yes, Totti calls Corina a "lushy". It's Eblet slang for human. He's being racist.^^


UGGGHH WRITING THIS WITH THE ONSCREEN KEYBARD WAS MURDER. D;

I am totally going to do a picture like this! ^^ Your characters are all so different, I think your right, alot of people don't point out the bad traits of their OCs ^^ I think it defines the character more. I absolutely adore the Eblets XD~ They are so cool. Your artwork here is incredibly adorable~<3

Oh hell yeah. I kind of noticed it especially in that Audition Comic you were making. It is quite funny especially Sarr's rude remarks.

Indeedy! I couldn't put Sarr here, though. He has so many bad traits he'd make everyone else look like saints.xD

Exactly! And because they promote things like character development, a sadly dying thing.xD

Loss of character development is a sad thing. sometimes you look at these characters and it's like : Not good for the brain. X(

No problem^^

I agree with you; I like character flaws, they make characters so interesting! What fun is a personality if everything is peachy about it?
"You're soo tiny I didn't see you there."

And I know how it feels to have to use an on screen keyboard! I coughed up grape juice on my laptop once and I panicked when my keyboard started freaking out. I had to use the on screen keyboard to get online and figure out how to clean the keys off. I'm glad I found it; it's useful but really tedious!

BottledStar [2010-02-25 00:52:22 +0000 UTC]

owo I totally agree with you~ You've met tons of our characters by now and must've realized that about 99% of them have some serious...issues. We'll call them issues. >.> <.<

I think bad traits and flaws are super important, especially because you can have so much fun with them~ I'm actually planning on doing something similar to this in the future, I just haven't been inspired yet. owo This might have done it~

And omigosh, your chibis are so cute. XD Plus your characters seem really interesting. I'd love to learn more about them.

And about the on screen keyboard... So much perseverence!! I salute you.
