Thoughts about my character

Honeyfur's picture
With recent events, I'm beginning to wonder what other players think of Honeyfur. I don't want people to think of her as a godmoding tool and what not, and especially to think of me as someone who likes to godmod. Sure, she's part dragon and can breathe fire, but I limited that so she only uses those powers when absolutely necessary, meaning she's not one of those "ARRRGH I'M GONNA EAT YO DURR *GROWLHISSSNARL*" kind of characters.
I can't see myself changing her, since, well, it wouldn't make any sense now; but to those of you who know and have interacted with her (as well as those who have only read her bio), I'm very curious to see what you think of her.
I guess I'm just being my paranoid self, but I'm just worried that I might come off as someone who makes up these "epic bad-arses that kicks butt 24/7", since HF has had plenty failures in her life, near death even.

Nngh, I'm rambling now. I'll delete this when I'm satisfied with the comments C:

I think HF is a great

I think HF is a great character. I love dragons, haha. I'm glad you limit her dragon-abilities, like I do with my dragon character, Anthrax. I don't think you god-mod with her at all.

I love Honeyfur! I think

I love Honeyfur! I think she's a really cool character. I don't know much about her powers, only that she has them Sticking out tongue 'i don't think you need to worry about anything Smiling

The only advice (If you need any...) I can give you is that everyone has a weakness and flaws. Even ones who do have powers (and the ones without them). This, in my mind would keep you from god-moding and such. But I think you know this anywho Sticking out tongue

Ryff: Thank you! Oh I do too;

Ryff: Thank you! Oh I do too; dragon HF has been my OC for several years, and I wanted to get her in something. I was a little apprehensive at first, but I noticed other characters with powers also, so I went ahead and added that side of her. Thank you very much! 8D

Bayleen: Awww thank you! <8D Yeah, she's been severely wounded before and now, so she's not invincible at least ;]

Even if I sometimes don't

Even if I sometimes don't fully agree with such characters it isn't my place to tell you "No you can't have one blablabla!". It's your character, do what you want with it. If you think your character isn't a good idea, give it some thought, maybe there's something to your feelings and the vibes you are getting from others.

One thing that does come to mind in regards to the powers you've listed, and something that I tend to grade other players on, is the realism to how they play their characters with. For instance, have you considered the Forest-wide consequences of a character who breathes fire? Powers like that would have a very good chance of unleashing a forest fire, which could destroy large areas of forest, possibly killing several characters in the process. Deer don't really have any method to combat such fires, unless there happens to be another deer with water powers around at the time.

Now, this doesn't mean that I am telling you "Your character can't breathe fire, it's unrealistic." what I am asking is for you to consider the full implications of that power. How would Honeyfur respond to this idea? Perhaps your character would understand that her power was too dangerous to others and to The Forest itself and would chose not to use it. That self-sacrifice would be a good way of both building the maturity of her character and might help you with these issues of feeling like she is too powerful. The power would still be there but if I may drop a Spiderman quote; 'With great power comes great responsibility.' Eye

I've never seen her as

I've never seen her as intimidating, overpowered, or even in any way threatening.

In fact, every time I've seen her, I've felt very good vibes from her as if she is a strong willed protector and a dear friend.

She and Quad share quite a bit in common as far as powers. His powers of flight and light are only used against Iugulare and her infection, and otherwise he doesn't use them against another deer unless he or another deer is in serious danger. There's nothing wrong with Honeyfur having powers that she uses in emergencies, nothing wrong with that at all.

I don't have anything to say

I don't have anything to say against Honeyfur the way I know her, but I do wonder why it is necessary to bring her fire-breathing dragon form in the forest. This is a game about deer, after all.

Honeyfur is not the only one that makes me wonder though, but since you asked I shared my thoughts on this. (:

I'm just going to second

I'm just going to second Terabetha's awesome comment here. Fleshing the whole concept out and thinking about the immediate consequences is definitely useful! Not much else to say on my part because I never really indulge in characters and character development.

Terabetha: That is a really

Terabetha: That is a really good point, Tera. To be honest I haven't really given that idea much thought. It would be like her to realize that she is more powerful in that way, and would lessen her time as a dragon.
Lol I always think of that quote when I think of her xD That, and the great points you said might just get her to back off and use her antlers in her deer form more often. You were a big help, Tera, thank you so much! <3

Quad: I'm glad you think of her like that, because I didn't intend for her to come off as any of those first three traits. Thank you! <3

Snow: I figured since, before she arrived here when she fell in a puddle of chemicals, it latched and fused itself to her DNA, allowing her to maintain her powers. Of course, she'll only use these powers when she really needs to, so it won't be constant.
Thanks for sharing! I really appriciate any comments here, whether the person likes HF the way she is or if they have issues <3

Unplugged: Yes, it's making me think about it, and I'll have to flesh out her personality/abilities (need to re-do her bio anyway) ^^

I am going to third Tera...

I am going to third Tera... but otherwhise, I LOVE HONEYFUR TO DEATH

I'm very glad the the advice

I'm very glad the the advice will be helpful! I'm a bit of a nut for character development lol. Cx

well as you know NANE AND I

well as you know
NANE AND I LOVE HONEYFUR
and I might agree with Terabetha on some aspects but moreso towards other players.
I've seen what you've done with HF and I don't think you've at all used her to godmode.
I think if you just make sure she also has weaknesses to balance out her strengths she's good : )

LOL thanks Panda!

LOL thanks Panda! <3

Tera: Lol so am I. I'm always fascinated by how much or little a character progresses <3

Uwharrie: FFFF thank youu! <3 Heh, yeah, I've been meaning to put up a fighter's chart for her, but I wanted to change the CSS in her bio before that....I'm starting to think I should do the chart first now xD
