Ask for an Original Character
Hi Firestar. I just need to test you for the character. In Percy's character, can you write a paragraph of dialogue, one of thought, and one interacting with other friends/campers?

Can you write one paragraph that is only dialogue, demonstrating how Percy would talk? The second paragraph would purely demonstrate how Percy thinks. These paragraphs can be about any subject as long as they demonstrate that you can write and understand the character.


Sorry I haven't responded to this, Firestar. Since the two of you are interested in roleplaying original characters, why don't you roleplay Percy and Calypso interacting. Then, I can test the two of you separately. I would prefer if we stuck to the paragraphs- 1 purely of dialogue and 1 purely of thought along with the interactive one- already mentioned, because this will show how well you can stay in character Percy and Calypso consistently for a chunk of time.
@Sallie
For this test, please try to have a five-sentence minimum. I have also noticed that you haven't been very active in the group. We will be checking up on how often you use these original characters and if you want to continue roleplaying one, you will need to make sure you are actively roleplaying him/her.

You can use html, but I usually just skip a line between paragraphs.
You can also create your own character too. I highly recommend you also create your own characters too, because only roleplaying an original can very limited. You can go to this link if you want to create your own character. The rules for character creation are at the top along with an outline. If you do, let me know the name and godly parent of your character in the Character List.

Yeah, okay. Sigh. Sorry. People are impatient and infuriating. Anyway! Let's see what you can do. I guess I will use Brooke. Why don't we go to the Big House rec room?

Thank you so much Jaqueline!
No, Annabeth isn't taken. I have asked one of the other mods to test you. They/she will help you when they/she come online.
hey wild, i can help you test for annabeth! you'll just need to do one paragraph to demonstrate how annabeth would think, and another paragraph to demonstrate annabeth's dialogue, then i'll do a roleplay with you to see how you roleplay with other campers :)

like what do you want be to base it on

yikes sorry i was in the middle of a class! and you can base it on whatever you like, it can be just general day to day things about camp, or anything really.

1) you really need to study harder.
2) Can you try to brush your hair before a date?
3) Harpies (meaning "snatcher") are winged spirits of sharp wind. They are known as the hounds of Zeus. Sudden, mysterious disappearances are often attributed to harpies.
4) I love you. " Annabeth said
it's good, but is there any chance you could set it out more like a paragraph of dialogue in a roleplay? like have it more as annabeth's side of a conversation with someone?

Sorry if I am overstepping, Beth. I don't know if this would help or not, but have you heard of soliloquy? Maybe you could try a paragraph of dialogue where she is talking to herself?

nono you're not overstepping, that's a far better way to put it. thank you, i didn't know there was a word for that haha

so wild, do you think you'd be able to do that? like a paragraph where annabeth would be talking to herself.

sure! you'll just need to do one paragraph to demonstrate how piper would think, and another paragraph to demonstrate piper's dialogue (i'd recommend a situation where she's talking to herself, that is probably easiest!), and then i'll do a roleplay with you to see how you roleplay as piper with other campers :)

No, she isn't. I am going to have to test you on your understanding of her though, but I am going offline soon. The test requires a paragraph of thought, a paragraph of dialogue and a more interactive roleplay with another camper in Hazel's character.
If you would like to start roleplaying sooner, I would recommend creating a character of your own first in the meantime.

This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
In the past, there were many problems with keeping to the characters of these originals, so when you ask a mod for a specific character, that mod will test you on your ability to write and understand the character.
* Means that they are occupied at this time. We do conduct a monthly sweep through though, so any character that is not used for more than 31 days will automatically be given up for grabs again.
Message crunchylemon, ember or me if you would like more information on any of these characters!
