Extended Thoughts on: Dexter Feiselberg/Muu'laqh The Heft
8 years ago
General
Leave it to bdun140 to give me awesome ideas. Not only did they give me details and advice on the character, they provided five references for me to look at. If any other commissions I receive from people are half as helpful as bdun’s are, I’ll be grateful.
I went all over the place with writing this character. Usually I write the openings first, then write them in order of their paths, as in completing all the waitfor sections before moving on to the next. Dexter was completely random: I wrote snippets of the finished tf, the body and limbs in bits, and ended with the mind “as a treat”. As such, I’m worried that there’s a lot of inconsistencies with the character. Maybe.
Trivia:
- I might not play D&D like Dexter, but I’ve been playing NetHack for over a decade. A lot of Dexter’s nerd-speak comes from there. So let’s get nerdy. His equipment follows the syntax of a perfect ascension item (+x blessed rust/fire/corrosion-proof equipment of enchantment). The Staff of Aesculapius and Whisperfeet are artifacts, and like the game, I didn’t really care about his pants.
- He claims that his equipment gives him four stages until a waitfor phase occurs on his mind. I don’t know where he got that information (strange, since I wrote it), but there are indeed four stages before his first mental change.
- Latin is my cheatsheet for when I want to create foreign names that have hidden meaning. The “Ops” in Opsrung is power, and the “Ferox” in Mamferox is fierce (and the mam is obviously mammaries). I don’t really know how I came up with the name Muu’laqh. It just happened.
- Crackpot theory time! Mamferox is the same place that Kentoleth Si’Trana (the tf of Kara Hoovester) is king.
- I spent way too much time forming a conlang for Muu’laqh, only for a single word to appear in the finished product. I started with the language Taurens speak in WoW, and added some sounds that cows and bulls would make.
- Mariah Carey and Gerard way never helped me with this character. Lazy assholes. What, do they have something better to do than provide the soundtrack for a horny dude writing cow porn at 3am?
My question: Do you roleplay? I never got into it, but I see it everywhere in this community. What are some memorable RPing experiences?
Oh, and Buck Bicorn's coming up next, btw
Ohwoh Koosn (Good bye),
