You make me blush with pleasure, Noon. Thank you... I had thought a week would pass without my character speaking to anyone! ^^; I am very grateful.

Thank you very much for your help, but it's not the mannerisms I have trouble with - it's the need to form bonds with other characters. Most shy people develope a social life based on their livelyhoods, but that isn't an option for a new character who doesn't have a job yet.

Hmm... that's an excellent idea. Thank you very much.

I admit, I jumped into this character a little quickly. (The sad fact is, I thought he would be easy to play because his social skills are similar to mine :oops: I try not to play characters who are smarter or more socially adept than I am, simply because I wouldn't know how to play them. ) He speak...

But how can you use '#me's to get into a plot?

Yes, shy, but painfully shy. Someone who wouldn't call for the gaurds if he/she was being robbed, for fear of bothering the gaurds. (That's a bit of an exageration, but you get the idea.)

Thank you, I hadn't considered 'me' actions...

Does anyone have any tips for playing a socially anxious character?

Not thier mannerisms, but how to get them into the gameplay!

How can yo get into the game when your character is too timid to say hello?

Well, if you want to go in the bandit direction, I would have to make a new character, too - my current one is strictly a sneaky type.
Thank you for the advice.

O.O <3 *Falls in love with this idea.*

Well, I've always loved thieves for exactly that reason - they seem to have a talent for making things interesting.

Now I badly, badly want to hear more about what your character has done!

:shock: Woah, I hadn't considered all that. When I crafted my character, I had hoped that he would start out as a bartender (his old job) and eventually become a spy, based on his peeping-tom nature. I hadn't realized that functions such as sneaking and pick-pocketing would be based on player-to-pla...

Thank you very much, that was very helpful. I hadn't thought of finding a teacher before. However, how would you find a teacher for a profession which is not typically supported in general society (for example, banditry, thievery, or proffessional flasher?)

Thank you very much for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Hello, as you've probably guessed, I'm new. When I first saw Illarion, I was (and still am) so excited - I've been looking for a place like this for years. However, that also makes me very, very nervous, mainly because I've never been in a place like this and I have no idea how to conduct myself. :o...
