How's My Driving | August 2014

HELLO CHELONAUTS! Summer has come once again and with it, our next quarterly HMD post that is slightly late to be posted because Li is forgetful oops

How's My Driving?
While each and every character must have an HMD page available, we offer a gamewide HMD once every calendar quarter. This is an opportunity to get together and discuss IC interpretations and portrayals in a respectful, beneficial fashion. In a nutshell, it's a chance to see how we're doing in the grand scheme of things.

There are a few ground rules to cover off before we can start:

• Participation in the quarterly HMD is 100% optional.
  
• Be respectful, anon or not. It's a lot easier to give and receive crit if all parties are making it a discussion of it rather than an argument.
  
• IP logging is off and anonymous commenting is on. You can offer crit signed-in if you like, but the option's there.
  
• New! We ask that each concrit provided consist of one positive and one constructive bit of feedback. Bring up something that you like about that player, and in the same comment provide something that you feel they could work on. This is to help round out the feedback and provide a better experience all around.

To make things easier, here's a handy-dandy code box:

<big><b><i>Player Name</i></b></big> <i>Character Name:</i> <i>Canon:</i> <i>User Name:</i> <I>Focus:</i> Optional. Do you have particular concerns about your portrayal that you'd like to be the focus of crit? You can link any threads you'd like a second opinion on here. If you're looking for structural feedback, or would prefer things like grammar not be mentioned, put it here.

Li

Character Name: Jack Frost
Canon: Rise of the Guardians
User Name: wintershepherd
Focus: I have definitely backed off tagging with Jack as much (particularly since Bakura got a lot louder muse voice recently) because at one point I was tagging almost EVERYTHING with him but I want to make sure that it's not coming across as OOC for him not to be involved in as much.

Character Name: River Tam
Canon: Firefly
User Name: problematical
Focus: I think I'm finally starting to find traction with her! I enjoying putting her in a mission and her CR pool is starting to widen. As always, I worry that I make her dialogue too stilted, so if that's a problem please let me know.

Character Name: Yami no Bakura
Canon: Yuugiou
User Name: denyamenti
Focus: Bakura has had an explosion of CR across the board and I'm literally gleeful about it. It's really a goal to make him seem complex and nuanced and not just "shonen villain" without HAVING to resort to throwing around his canon backstory since that's not IC for him to "use".
