I understand it kind of takes away from certain characters, but I think all the characters in the series should have some ethical alignment - I don't mean D&D alignments, I just want to make sure every character has a purpose - even the hired help and the mercenaries. Even though some characters will at times have neutrality about them, I would prefer to make sure every character takes into consideration lifegoals. Usually I wouldn't care,  but it makes it better for purposes of writing, because it's easy to write for a character who simply does nothing that could potentially conflict with interests of good and evil - that is to say, it makes the characters kind of boring.

All of our characters have vices

Chaos has his pipe, Noxigar has his cigars(and his crazy), and Lex is an alcoholic. While these are kind of cliched archetypes for us to portray, I like how we each have one.

It makes the series clean. Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:12, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it's much better than Redux, where:
  • Chaos: SUPER POWERFUL DEMON WHO IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
  • Noxigar: SUPER KILLED NOBODY WHO IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
  • Sephiroth: SUPERMAN RIPOFF WHO CAN REVIVE HIMSELF WHO IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

Lex 11:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Chaos: blatant disgregard of authoritah
  • Noxigar: lack of a pathos and constant self-alienation therefrom
  • Lex: I actually cannot find a proper vice for Lex's character. Unless you count excess cursing... Noxigar 20:42, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Um... He's a notorious womanizer, having numerous illegitimate children from women he's slept with throughout the years. He hasn't met any of them. Lex 21:02, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Chaos has more of a brash sense of realism that interferes with Noxigar's alienation and Lex's womanizing as much as possible. Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 04:18, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
A womanising alcoholic. Add that with his nostalgic personality, and we've pretty much got ourselves a Dean Martin wannabe. Lex 10:27, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Now I need a vice, so I don't get left out and all... Oh well, I still have flaws, right? RemolaySig.pngtalk 02:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Just a silly question

But do you have any particular voice "headcanons" for these characters? Like when you read them, do you imagine them with any particular voice? Just out of curiosity, I mean. Lex 02:33, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Your Homestuck obsession has obviously sparked this hasn't it Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 22:06, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
yes
yes it has Lex 01:19, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, I do imagine the main cast being voiced by their respective users(so you for Lex, myself for Chaos, etc.) and off characters like Droll and Rosenberg are simply given borderline generic voices. For example, I totally imagine Droll to sound like Gambit from the '90's X-Men cartoon.

Can we eliminate neutral characters?

I understand it kind of takes away from certain characters, but I think all the characters in the series should have some ethical alignment - I don't mean D&D alignments, I just want to make sure every character has a purpose - even the hired help and the mercenaries. Even though some characters will at times have neutrality about them, I would prefer to make sure every character takes into consideration lifegoals. Usually I wouldn't care, but it makes it better for purposes of writing, because it's easy to write for a character who simply does nothing that could potentially conflict with interests of good and evil - that is to say, it makes the characters kind of boring.
