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 love Honeyfur! I think
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
Ryff: Thank you! Oh I do too;
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
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.'
I've never seen her as
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
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
Terabetha: That is a really
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'm very glad the the advice
well as you know NANE AND I
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!
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
I adore her.And of course you
~will post more later <3
I love how Honeyfur has
And Phobos as well as I are always excited to see her!
FFFF thank you WD! ;3; I
Awww ;A; Likewise! <3
