Meme: How did you pick your characters?

[single_man_tear]

Was a meme requested? No. Did I want a meme? Yes. So I picked through the list of meme and found this one, which apparently hasn't been done since 2012.

Why did you pick the characters you play?

Be it because they're just your favorite, or you thought they'd be a challenge, or someone dared you or something, go ahead and tell us what made you want to bring them to the game.

Dean Winchester - So I had been out of the game for a while and suddenly after multiple projects had settled down at work and home life had become manageable, I started toying with the idea of coming back to FH. I had been playing an online D&D game with a few of the players online for a couple of years at that point so I felt like it was a good time to return.

And then I couldn't think of anyone. So I forgot about it and went back to my usual binge watching and playing D&D. Now I had based one of the characters in my campaign very loosely on Dean Winchester and because of some in character decisions, that character had to leave the party and I brought in a new character. But I REALLY liked the idea of playing Dean.

So I went back and forth a couple of times and finally after chatting with Nu about it I sent in the app. I think part of the real reason I sent him in is that I also had a different mindset when bringing in him. I didn't have a goal for the character, which I had whenever I app'd other characters. I just wanted to throw him in and see how he did.

And I think he's doing pretty good.

Kamala Khan - So I was staunchly saying the entire time after I app'd Dean that I was NOT going to have another character. Nope. Didn't need one. Dean was fine. All I needed was Dean. Who needs another character? Not me.

And then the app session opened for new characters was posted and I immediately started thinking of who I could apply. Yes, I'm that guy.

I wanted someone a bit lighthearted this time around. Originally it was not Kamala at all. I was thinking of Gar Logan aka Beast Boy and that was sparked by Gabriel Picolo's artwork he had been posting showing Beast Boy and I started reading the graphic novels by Kami Garcia and... I think what really killed it for me is the lack of icons the way I wanted them and while I liked the graphic novels it wasn't really that inspiring to me at the time.

So that was it. I was done. No student app for me. I then turned on the TV and went to Disney+ and there on the "Watch Again!" category was Ms. Marvel which I LOVED when it came out. And my brain went: "OH! There we go."

And I wrote the app in about an hour.

Yelena Belova: I believe what happened here is that I was looking at another person's app while I was re-watching Hawkeye during the scene where Yelena Belova was talking to Kate Bishop and said: "You know what this island needs? Florence Pugh characters."

And so I wrote the app.
