◊ : What's your favourite thing about your muse?
My favorite thing.... I don’t know? I love Kenpei as a whole. He’s just the right combination of humble and polite, and then murderous awful and violent.... Together with his good looks and his character arc within the story (even though he’s really not that big of a character, more of a minor villain even if his role is high position-wise) he’s irresistible to me.
When it comes to role play in particular I like how I have to think through each and every step properly. I have to reason with myself just how he’ll behave towards who and why. I can also indulge in my own morbid interests with him and the fact that people will allow me to do that gets me incredibly giddy (just as giddy as my muse, really)
♠ : What is the hardest thing about playing this muse?
The things I like about Kenpei as a muse are also the things I have trouble with. It’s difficult being really friendly to people because of the way Kenpei is. It is the reason why I have to mentally battle with myself as to whether or not he’ll keep up his kind/polite appearance. It’s really difficult for me to manage that, but so far I think I’m keeping him IC, considering the situations.
And then I also have to worry about whether or not indulging in his hobbies will get me in trouble or not. I want to make sure I have the 100% explicit permission of whoever I RP with before I start doing things to anyone’s muse. It’s my law. I want to be able to live out Kenpei to his fullest, but I must be weary and I must make sure to get the okay. It’s difficult getting the courage to step forward and say “Hey, would you allow me to let Kenpei hurt your character horribly and revel in it in gross drawn-out detail?” You know.
Aside from that, Kenpei’s difficult with dialogue, he has a few different ways that he uses to refer to himself (normal I/me, ‘yours truly’ and ‘my/this humble self’) and sometimes I just don’t know how to lace that in properly.
