Meme: Reverse Questions

[not_acute]

Muns: Post here listing all of the characters you play (you might want to list journals, too, just for reference) or are thinking of playing.

Everyone: Ask the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR PUPS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc.) You can even have pups ask the questions, but ANSWERS are coming from the MUNS.

Which of your pups do you think "needs" to be in Darrow the most? (For rescuing from their canon, for reasons of personal change, etc.)

I personally never think about taking up a character as rescuing them from their canon. These characters were formed by their worlds, and they had lives which may not have been ideal, but still built them to the point of being interesting people (and people that I happen to love).

I think my opinion there largely stems from what I know about my parents' backgrounds, having grown up at a time and in a place that is frequently addressed by history books as being terrible (especially in Western history books, you won't really find any that have a net positive view of Mao Zedong). And yet there were still certain things that they understand better and strengths they learned as a result of having been from that time. Also, I think 'rescuing' is also dangerous because it assumes a sweeping good in the way that a more modern, Western society is constructed.

So instead of 'rescuing' characters, I think instead about two flows: are they going to learn something from being in the city, and can they teach others something important by being in the city.

Given that, I think... Korra is probably the one whose learning is closest to a 'need.' She is really narrow-minded given her sheltered upbringing, and the series does a great job of starting to open her up; Darrow does that at an even more accelerated rate.
