Oooo now I am only MORE curious about Lucile's background!! Just so then I can compare. Plus, there is a big twist in Slickers story that I did not really include with my other characters so I would love to see how that plays into these two! Interesting theory (sadly I can neither confirm nor deny) but I love it! :D yeaaaah sorry I am so slow with Vera. I love her character but she really clashes with my writing style which makes things a bit difficult for me :/

Lucile's backstory is huge, but I'll definitely be fitting in what I can >:) With characters like Slicker and Alice around it'll show up in chunks soon enough Really looking forward to how their backstories effect how they interact with each other though, I can imagine they'd make great friends over it - Looking forward to seeing how it actually played out! - Thats fine, take your time! Very excited for it~ I might honestly try changing up my writing style a bit, try doing something more like my normal, novel style. I just don't think my RP style is as descriptive, in-depth, or animated as I'd like it to be so I'mma try to incorperate some of my other style.

huge backstory??? I am here for it!! :D gosh I am so excited for Alice and Lucile to interact with each other too- you have no idea how hard it has been for me not to type anything for her. novel styles are so hard to do in rp format so I have infinite respect for you! my style of writing is kinda the exact opposite of yours but i find it super hard to get out of. it also definitely makes less talkative and expressive characters harder to write for me. you must be incredibly gifted because youre able to change your style so easily!

By huge I'm talking about 10+ major events and 20+ smaller events in between, and half of them are music inspired. I have a whole 150 song playlist solely dedicated to inspo for her, Ollie, and Roxie's story. Its big XD I'm so excited for Alice to have some lines again,, I really loved her first few posts ^^ Alice and Lucile interactions gonna be wild for sure, between Lucile being like "oo, pretty lady" and "Oh noo, not another rich snob woman-", and then just Alice in general is gonna be fun - Novel styles in Rps are super hard- Its weird because the way I write a novel is I imagine how every scene plays out and I write it as it plays in my head to whatever music I'm listening to, but then with roleplays I don't imagine any of it as I go, and then I go back and imagine it while I read which just makes it so much less thrilling. The only bad thing about the last "Novel styled" story I wrote, which was a short story for school that kickstarted Lucile's whole backstory and personality practically (which I wanna eventually re-write), was that my characters just didn't have as much personality as they do in my Rps, so I'mma try and combine the styles together to make something hopefully better. But thank you for the kind words! :D - Also, lately Lucile's design has been changing more and more and I think I've finally got something I like about down. So her body type is kinda hard to describe, but I finally found a character that fit what I was imaging. Prince Naveen from the Princess and the Frog is the closest I can find to her body shape (though not her face) and hes also become her more 'masculine' voice claim, unless I find something better, but hes the only voice that popped into my head. I'll eventually be updating her appearence description, though shes hardly changed besides that. She did get more scars, and her color pallet has been updated to something I was origanally imagining, it hadn't turned out before for some reason. Heres her image gallery if y'all intrested in seeing her sort-of re-design (I still don't have her present appearence or body type any art so that'll be coming soon-): Link Edited at August 10, 2023 09:28 PM by Black_Sand

oh my god that is much bigger than I thought- I mean, I have lots of small moments with Matt+Slicker planned, but 10 major things is crazy dude- kinda reminds me of one character I have who also had a massive backstory. (Also playlist please???) yayyy Im glad you liked her! And yeah, absolutely. Alice, Esther, and Lucile all interacting together will be a minefield and I will love it. I relate so strongly to your first few sentences of that oh my god- it is so good to know someone feels the same way as me :') also you deserve more kind words when it comes to your writing. you are fucking brilliant and I cannot compare. Oh my god I absolutely love everything about her being redesigned as a female Prince Naveen. I am here for it. (Also the stuffed you linked looks gorgeous?? I mean, hello???)

(if there's any typos it's because I'm on my phone and autocorrect sucks-) - Yeahh, I've gone pretty in depth with some of my OCs but never as in depth as I have with Lucile and them. I've always loved westerns, I grew up watching my dad play Red Dead Redemption and I loved watching shows like Gunsmoke with both my grandfathers. Music, TV, stuff like that definitely drove me to make her story so expansive, and it'll probaly continue to grow as I write it. Also, currently since I'm on my phone I can't link my playlist cause it won't let me, but I'll clean it up and send it tomorrow! It's a bit messy *-* - A Alice, Esther, and Lucile interaction sounds like the stuff of nightmares :') and thays why it's perfect - Lmao, I'm glad you feel the same way! And thank you, but lordy you gotta give yourself more credit, I don't think I've ever loved somebody's characters and their expressiveness more to be honest! Out of all the characters I've had the pleasure of RPing mine with you and Roaw's are right at the top, the skill is showing <:O - Glad you liked it! I needed to make Lucile handsome, and Prince Naveen is what I'd personally deem handsome All the extra stuff linked is mostly outfits I've made to help me with visualization, and for art! I honestly can have a bit of a hard time if I cant see perfectly what something looks like right in front of me, so I like making character sheets, outfits, and maps to help me along. And speaking of maps the map is also getting a slight redesign because I realized I should flip the locations. Like the restless wastlands should be on the south side while the town of Blueberry and stuff should be up north. The geography just makes more sense in my head that way

I will have to watch Gunsmoke cause I have never really heard of it! if I am honest though, I only got into the west more recently because I love history and I just thought it was a neat era. plus, I am helping to make a game at the moment and one of the areas is heavily inspired by old western shows. also, I cannot wait until you are able to send that playlist!! :D those three would be so perfect, but poor Aiden and Del having to deal with three moms like that I'm glad you like my style but I definitely have more to improve. Roaw is definitely great at writing though and so are so many people I have met here so I guess it just feels hard to make a good, enjoyable style in comparison ^^' Not gonna lie- definitely had a crush on him (and actually Tiana too) as a kid. Ooooo map redesign?? also I totally recommend notion for keeping your thoughts together if you're interested-

Id definitely recommend it, it's a great watch! Wonderful cast, a very simple, yet extremely recognizable intro, and a lot of gunfights. Litteraly every grandma and grandpa I know knows what Gunsmoke is. Lone Ranger is also a good Western from what I've seen, though I haven't watched that one as much. Clint Eastwood does some great movies as well. And I'll also add in The Ridiculous Six as well because it's a good laugh, the whole things just a bunch of satire western tropes and i love it, it's a more moderen movie though - Aiden and Del having to deal with three completely different personalities and attitudes, they'd be so overwhelmed XD - Everyone can improve more, but your writing is still great as is. Anything can technically be improved with some improvement (after typing out this sentence and rereading it I've realized it's time for me to get some sleep x_x) - Same though, Tiana and Naveen were some of my first childhood crushes. They were both such good characters with such good looking designs And I searched up the site and I'll keep it in mind! I've been needing something like that, thanks! :D Edited at August 10, 2023 11:41 PM by Black_Sand

I've cleaned it up and ordered it all in a certian way. The first couple videos are just sounds and stuff like that for some relaxing writing. After that is a long list of songs particularly from Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 that work really well for just plain vibes, plus some of the songs are great fight scene inspo. After all those is just more songs for vibes, and then a lineup of Marty Robbins music and then American Murder Song as well for story + inspo. More inspo songs, and then some videos I found for research. After that is a lineup of songs that go with a certian scene from the story going in order of their timeline and the character they belong with. By the song Put On Your Sunday Clothes all the rest of it is ordered by vibes.
