☏ What is the most challenging aspect of playing this muse?
Gar is a simple person. He has simple thoughts and wishes and needs and desires. He doesn’t overthink a lot of things.
I on the other hand, do. I’m constantly calculating this and that and if something is okay or if I should or shouldn’t do something. Stepping into Gar’s shoes is basically throwing away a lot of self-questioning and anxiety I’ve had to grow up with over the years. It’s liberating, but difficult.
Another thing is making him believable. While yes, he’s from a fictional video game universe and yes, you can do things like hold sixty sets of armour or eat 1000 sacks of flour within a second to heal yourself, I try not to bring mechanics and numbers so literally in representations.
So he’s super gigantic (read: sliders set all the way to maximum muscle and height and size and booty) but he’s not macro-sized. He eats a lot of food but he’s not a black hole (although I take a lot of liberty with how much he eats. I basically estimate he eats enough for a family of four), and his feats of strength are probably outside of the average spectrum (and maybe even above average human spectrum), but within the bounds of his physical constraints. He might be able to shoulder bash through a door and break it, but that door isn’t flying off and becoming a projectile.
See what I mean about overthinking things? XD
