fabricati | Natalia and Kanna

[theriflespiral]

Vivala is the first formal game I've been a part of in DWRP. I didn't even go to bakerstreet or anything, I just reviewed the differences gdoc and dove right the heck in

and despite that you all have been more patient with my bullshit than I think anyone has a right to ask. It's been wonderful so far playing with you all.

[newmemorywhodis]

You are doing great with your first game! And honestly I can't imagine DWRP is the easiest thing to get into this days, so kudos to you for being willing and able to leap into the deep end like that.

And of course I very much enjoy Natalia's social awkwardness - I feel like she and Link are two peas in a pod in many ways - and Kanna's bubbly personality. I hope to thread with both of them more!

[purplexing]

That's the best way to go about it! You have so much thought put into your character intentions and writing. Natalia's certainly been an interesting character to bounce off of. I'm glad you put up with Tau, haha! Kanna was a pleasant surprise to see around. I need to have Donnie find them both to thank...

Wow! I had no idea this was your first game, you really have done a great job getting into the flow! Also I totally forget that you play both characters sometimes because they're so different and so interesting to engage with in different ways! I love Natalia's introspection and that very first thread we had together still stands out in my mind in terms of sheer uniqueness and instant understanding of one another. And I love Kanna's energy and bravado. You've been a really engaging person to play against and I'm looking forward to more!

Fun fact: Natalia has the record for the highest notoriety score in one month. Your pace is remarkable!
I haven't interacted much with Kanna yet, but Natalia is fun the way she is clearly filled with a lot of the emotions others have but always shoving it down. I really want to see what would happen if she lost control. 👀 Temporary Winter for an area?

[theriflespiral]

Would you believe I did not realize that?

-- As for temporary winter, one of my initial plans for Natalia was in fact to make her a lady of winter, or even get her killed and come back as an agent of Hel. Just. Full-on Snow Maiden with it.

I might still go that route, but I think Dancer-class stuff is a lot better overall for that balance between high-octane action moments and careful strategy.

... I also need to think of what would really make her lose it. I'm not sure anymore.

Still-- Atom's been a delight to play opposite Natalia. Just solid.

[upupatomway]

I'm sure Chrysan would be happy to hear any ideas you come up with for a possible loss of control player plot. Maybe a small island would be plunged into the cold for a while? She's clearly well trained to control it- does she ever break in canon?

[theriflespiral]

It's a flexpoint in the campaign how exactly her frozen heart manifests. Usually it's most effective when something's trying to take her over, and she just sort of... masks through it, or it gets replaced by her heart and emotions freezing up on her.

That said, there's a scene where she breaks angry in Fable of the Swan and attempts to fist-fight Death.

She loses, of course, but
1) holds him off long enough for the actual protagonist to realize the things she needs to do to make Answer to the Bleak, and
2) actually makes him flinch, AND, most importantly--
3) lives to tell the tale.

so... something spectacular, to be sure.

you're doing great for your first game! aira loves her russian bestie, and it's awesome that you can be so prolifically active while putting tons of thought and effort into your tags. like we've done threads about food/clothes/dance/etc. and the attention to detail is there with every rogue subject

also dwrp has plenty of its own silly bs baked in, so new blood and fresh perspectives are a 100% positive in my book
