Gooood morning friends, it's finally my day off, let's have a tag and fanart plurk! (Because you all have reminded me how much I used to love doing those)
One of the things that is fun about playing a DND guy is that the character designs are so loose. We have one avatar they commissioned for official art and that's really it.
The problem comes from trying to stay true to the monstrous design but also trying to capture the player's likeness too, because the players expressions and acting really are so much of the character
Torbek-->Rocket I love playing Torbek off Rocket like this; they both fill that niche for eachother, Rocket seeing Groot and Torbek seeing his goblin friend but both are still furry science experiment victims. They have a lot to relate with, I think
Torbek-->Bakugou is THAT more helpful, Bakugou? ;> I love that there are just zero humans in Torbek's party. The closest one is the genasi who still has like bright red skin and can set his beard aflame. You know, human stuff!
it's funny it's been so long since I've been in a game, .i have to remember what device I could write on the quickest. my computer keyboard is nice but uncomfortable to relax in and i put drafts on my phone in discord anytime of think of them but autocorrect borks em bad. so maybe it was my tablet i wrote best on?
once Torb gets some actual CR I know it'll come easier too, right now everyone at Lab are still kind of in acquaintance status with eachother but it's gonna be so cool to see how they all get on together after a longer time of adversity and mingling
that said I'm delighted by the mix of bafflement/annoyance/begrudgingly warming up responses he has been getting from first impressions; it's exactly what I hoped for. I also chose this guy because he has so much room to grow. I'm excited to see what direction that will be in
now I'm just waiting the inevitable moment they do actually cross paths in a hallway and the acknowledging ah. that IS what was technically described...
Torbek-->RSchefs kiss that's what I call a good confession. Gotta say it is fun to play someone who will just blurt out anything. I'm trying not to have Torb take over a thread with his own trauma too much so others can have their time in the spotlight too
once he's more established and the people around him know his DEAL I'll be able to pull back the reigns a bit more, but some situations lay just perfect groundwork
one of the things I love about yugioh is it started off intended to be horror. executive meddling made it be about card games. but the mangaka kept dragging the horror in as much as he still could.
Torbek-->Rocket almost a wrap but oh man it really would be so nice if Torb can pal around with some of the GotG cast; their humor and antics totally match his podcast's vibe
Torbek-->Steven Listen, I know Torbek might usually be better at judging this as a social faux paux but I am here to play an awkward monster that throws people off and makes players laugh; rule of funny demanded I go with this option
Torbek-->Tawna Might have been too late to tag into this one, but the idea would not leave my head and I kept trying to find a way to throw him at Tawna in the TDM already.
Don't uh. Don't worry about it ;>
but also just as often him failing at everything ever
Or everyone is as a result of his presence
