Oh i can't wait for classes tho i'm not sure i can just yet because i'm not in the index. So i might have to wait a bit.

To do classes you need;

To be on the site 10 days (you joined the 19th so it will be the 29th).
To have at least 20 posts.

No indexing needed.

Opeila Winters wrote: 28 Apr 2022, 00:33 Little correction- It's 10 days starting the day you got validated. If your registration and validation date are the same, then it'll be the 29th, if your validation took a few days, then it'll be a few days still until you can access the homework system.

Yeah you can't delete your post once someone else posts after you, you can only delete the last post of the thread.

I think you should add more magor events to her history

Like what?

I noticed that you said her mother was dead, or something like that, why don’t you add that to you history, if you want I can send you a template I use when writing a more advanced History. It’s similar to the one about starters, asking you questions so you can see them visibly and you can answer them, then put it all together in the end.

Solomon Lear wrote: 27 Apr 2022, 21:26 A character is more than a single facet. Think about how being gender fluid will be relevant to your character's story. If it is there just as a header to say you are gender fluid, your parents were murdered tragically and you have had unusual access to the magic/,muggle world considering your blood status... then it is not the way to go. Think about the story you want to tell, be it coming of age, romance, adventure, slice of life. Now Think of a past that facilitates a good base to build that story off of.

Think about where yiu want your character to go and then think about where they were. Your story then (here) is the journey from then to there.

Like he said.

It takes months for me finish a history, what you see in my ency uis only a place holder and so I know what to add and where all the details go. And even after that, I’m always tweeking and adding more details.

-------------

These are all great points, I do have to add that gender identity shouldn't exactly be 'everything' nor be a 'personality'. I incorporated a thorough story to my character that connects with their identity but not in a crazy way, my character's mother was too ill to care for Jay which then resulted in her abandoning them. My character then grew up around other orphans and in a messy orphanage, they were not treated the best and they had a lot of influences from older orphan boys. Because of the way they were raised, led to questioning gender identity.

My character's childhood also has many other impacts on their personality and how they perceive others. When writing a story for your own character, it is important in my opinion... to not make gender identity the [main] story at least.

Reducio

Oh and to add on, seeing from other people on other rp websites, making your character lgbt simply to create 'problems' is not the way to go, only change your character if you truly feel like it is what they would be. You mentioned "to add more to her history" and this came up in my head lol

I myself am gender fluid and somewhat incorporated my own experiences into my character's history in order to help its authenticity.

these are all simply my opinions

Orphanages have not existed in the UK in over 30 years.

To clarify, my character lived in a small orphanage in Japan. Modernly, there are small orphanage institutions in Japan still. I luckily did not end up in one
