RP:ing a physically different character

[SekoETC]

My newest charrie happens to be blind as a bat, but I don't want to underline it since it would seem.. cheap somehow. So I have to write all kinds of subtle and not so subtle hints so that people would notice it without bigger fuss. She recognizes people by their sound since she's too shy to approach a complete stranger and say: "Excuse me but could I touch your face so that I'd learn to know you?" Not even real life blind people do that. Ok, it happens in real life too that if a blind person was walking around without the white stick, not many people would pay much attention to him.

Actually I have another character too that is physically different, but not so greatly as this new one. I'm talking about Yvonne. Her hair is almost white for some reason and sometimes she's over stressed about it though other's don't pay much attention to it. It would seem über-clumsy to write: "You see a young woman with nearly white hair." every time someone new enters town or when she enters a new area. That's why it would be good if there were character descriptions.

My stuttering and nowdays dead and buried Frederick Wilkinson became blind after catching the sleeping sickness.
I would write down "heard X's voice and the date" for new people I met...so if it wasn't to far between meetings he would recognize them.

Damn...I miss him so much
He was so complex...

[sammigurl61190]

He died?

What happened to him?

[Pirog]

He got killed by raiders somewhere in the Reniov Mountains.
It's kind of sad, because I heard the guy/guy's behind the raiders got kicked for cheating or something a short while later...

[sammigurl61190]

What happened to Sarana?

[Pirog]

You mean Sakura?
She made it out alive...that much I can tell you

[sammigurl61190]

Yeah, that's who I meant.

[Pirog]

She must be Cantrs cutest character

[sammigurl61190]

I don't know, I've seen some pretty cute characters.

[Pirog]

Damn...we have really messed this topic up now....better stop.

[sammigurl61190]

Oh. Yeah. *stops*

This is in General Discussion. Keep discussing, you non-discussers.

If you don't keep discussing, I'll be forced to make fake discussion posts for you.

An example:

...Or no example, LOL. It got really bad as I typed it, so I removed it. You two are lucky.

[Claivuus]

I'd like to see where that would have gone...

[sammigurl61190]

Then, Pirog, we should keep discussing--by the order of the demi-god-moderator.

I still say there are lots of cute characters besides Sakura. Say, Silly, in Drojf. I've only had a little experience with him, it was fun. Plopping grapes in the lake.

i really like sakura. she was the only one who tried to understand my character.
