meme: reverse questions

My office is silent, my boss isn't here and I have a giant case of the "I don't wanna"s. Let's meme.

We last did this one in January.

Tag in with your characters and then people will comment asking the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR CHARACTERS, 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 character?", "How do you channel them?", etc).

Don't forget to check back to see who else has pinged in for questions!

Re: Lucifer | Jesse | all the rest

Specifically?

Jesse - easiest: She's anxious around people, which is something I DEEPLY UNDERSTAND AND EMPHATIZE WITH and is thus extremely easy to write. But compared to some of my other characters, she's also just very quiet and gives people a ton of space instead of overruling them or taking over. Which has been strangely nice.
- Hardest: Unlike said some-of-my-other-characters, she's quiet and kind of shy and doesn't have the high highs or low lows, so it takes more push to get her out there, to convince her to talk to people, and to do more than just quietly go about her life. (The internal dialogue habit I lifted from canon helps a lot.)

Lucifer: - easiest: I always love playing characters who just take over a room when they step inside because you can basically put them in any situation and know something's going to happen, and coming up with a reason for them to be there isn't hard. And he's loud and snarky and emotionally complicated so it's not particularly hard to get him from 0 to 'interesting, messy conversation', and it's in those interesting, messy character interactions I always find the most fulfilling RP.
- hardest: ... but he's also a mess with a capital M and there have been multiple times over the past year I've been worried I might have torched all of his most important character relationships just because he had a snit. That, and as I kind of lingered on up there, it's tough finding the right balance between 'has grown emotionally and cares about people' and 'narcissistic dingbat who frequently takes the wrong lessons from any conflict or therapy session'. I flail about going too far in either direction a lot.
