♪~~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Oh no, here I go posting dumb stuff again
Ok so. This is a 5:00 am journal because I have nothing better to do and sleep is for the weak[end]. So I figured I would just give my two cents on characters and their associated lore/story/background/etc. And personally, why I think it matters.
Ok so first off, as many of you may or may not know, a couple of months ago i bought the rights to a character called 'Magna Firemane', who is a Qarow developed by a friend, Prince Vaxis. They no longer felt a connection to a brazen, dominant horse with a thing for white hair, and decided to part ways with them. Now normally, I wouldn't have bothered buying them. As much as I like aggressive fighting characters, maintaining a Russian accent was a lot of effort with little reward. Not to mention almost all of the art of her was porn. Now don't get me wrong, I like porn as much as the next person. But when you have a character that - lore-wise - is supposed to be a bold warrior who defied her own clan and was exiled, and instead is leaving holes gaping in her wake, you get some mixed feelings.
I suppose the main reason that I decided to purchase her was to keep her lore intact. Because her lore was over five years of time and effort put into it. She was introduced into Vaxi's personal role-play server, and had been built up over the course of five years. Character interactions, dramatic choices, and life and death situations. Quality. Content. And all of that was about to go to waste once the character was sold off to the highest bidder. THAT is what didn't sit right with me. Knowing that five years of effort on their part, controlling the character, and five years of time on my part, interacting with that character, was about to be erased.
So I bought her. To preserve her story and keep it going.
Its five years of effort, time, and imagination. I may not love the character themselves 100%, but I do love the story that has been crafted with them, and that they are a crucial piece in it. Now obviously, since they came into my possession, a few minor changes may be in store for her. Over time. Through story. And honestly, that is what makes a character good. Having quality characters interacting with one another and shaping the book of their life, one chapter at a time. So yes, Magna Firemane is still a part of Vaxi's personal rp server. Still is still an elite warrior under the High General's command. She still chases after those with white hair, including the High General himself. She still fights, and she still fucks. Though arguably, not as often. But that's a part of her ongoing story. And its a story I'm happy to continue to work on.
