MEME: Reverse Questions
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.
For the last time we did this one, check out the tag.

No, more seriously: What is it about a character that makes you want to play them? Is it different every time or is there always the same sort of pull? Is there ever a common catalyst?

It varies, to a degree. I like characters who are outcasts, in some way. I like sarcastic bastards, but that generally have a lot of depth to them. I like people who exist outside of society or outside the law, in some way. I tend to like characters who have one major flaw (either real or perceived by them) or reason that they fundamentally hate themselves (LOL). I tend to play characters who appear not to give a shit about anything/anyone, but who are often secretly pretending to be apathetic, to protect themselves. I tend to enjoy characters that seem to be one thing, but at some point in the canon, your opinion of them is turned on its head, like with Merry Barrett. A few of my characters have been unpopular with fandom (Carl Grimes comes to mind). A lot of my pups have major daddy issues, for whatever reason.
A LOT of the time, I can pick out the exact moment/line with in a canon where I knew I wanted to play that character. With Tommy, it's the quote at the top of his wiki. It was this very startling A-HA moment for me in the theater. With Carl Grimes, it was the pudding scene in season 4. With Curtis, it was his confession near the climax of the movie. With Nick Clark, there was a very specific scene in the season 1 finale where I was like WELP.
A lot of the time, for me, it happens really suddenly. I'll love a character, but it's not until they say and do something that surprises me, that I'm really pulled into the idea of playing them.
