rpanons | [D] Free space

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Concerns?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Looking up stuff on Finders in general isn't a bad thing at all. Toma certainly seems to give us some decent background during the Martel Arc early on. There may also be something in Grey Arc and/or the Character Book, but if there is unfortunately I don't have links to translations. Perhaps someone else does.

Aside from that, there's always Kanda's novel where he's stuck with a Finder where you might be able to gather some additional info and the anime also told that story in episodes 33 and 34.

On headcanon, it's true the line between minor character and OC can vary, but I think it depends on the character. Personally, my sense is that as long as the background you have in mind for him is believable, makes sense for him and doesn't impede on any other canon characters then it can't hurt to have an idea in your mind what his background might be. I think for characters like Doug there's less concern in general because he's not a game changer/breaker like say Neah/14th is.

So if I were playing with you and you came up with a backstory for Doug that was convincing I'd roll with you, but I love minor characters and their potential for play and development whereas other players aren't so into headcanon. It just comes down to communication with potential cast mates if you're apping into a pre-existing cast or you LCW it and have castmates join you.

...there are translations of that Kanda novel out somewhere? I had no idea. Do you have a link? (I mean I found the anime episodes on YT, but it'd be good to have the novel stuff as the main source.)

There are translations of Kanda's story here: http://yamamoto-kou.livejournal.com/3545.html

And the rest of them are all listed here: http://nofutureexorcists.tumblr.com/Reverse_Novels

Hope that helps :)

Ahh, thank you so much! I haven't read a lot of these yet either, this is awesome. ♥
