The Roleplaying Academy : Where We Seek to Improve Ourselves, and Others

[Lumine]

Requesting a Mentor!

Username: lumine
Requested Mentor: Ordeith or Lord of Chaos [whoever has an available space for one more student ^ ^]
Reason for Request: An overall critique, as well as improvement of whatever my writing style lacks, and for that I'm requesting Ordeith's or Lord of Chaos's help :3.

Edit: I've already contacted Lord of Chaos and he agreed to take me in. :3

Excuse me.

Which one out of the mentor types teaches you how to make a good appearance for a character?

[OmniChaos]

Well, it really depends on what exactly you are looking for. But, I would suppose, it would generally fall under the category of "Creative Extraordinaire."

[Bonechill]

Ah, okay well I'll make a request

Could I please ask for a creative extroadenaire to help me in my character appearance? Anyone availabe please

[Orion]

It depends on what you mean by character appearance: Do you want them to wear spiffy clothes? Or for them to have physical traits to complement their powers? Or to be of a non-humanoid species which you need help constructing?

I won't deny you have your own reasons and they are most likely valid, but I will still ask this: Why does it matter so much how your character looks? Once you get past the first couple of posts, their appearance is almost never described in detail again.

If you need help with a species, I can certain help in that aspect.

[Bonechill]

I'm pretty fine with species and races but thanks Orion.
All I need is help making their appearance, I'm sick of looking at everyones having detail and then I look at mine and it is plain

[rpgangel]

^ You're gonna have to be careful there. There's a difference between a well-described character and purple prose overload, as some people do here.

if i asked for a mentor, and i think they forgot about me, should i ask for a new one?

[OmniChaos]

You know, I'm really glad that this academy hasn't died...

Yes, it might be worth it. Email them, PM them, something. That usually gets their attention

[digimikej]

OMG AN ANSWER! /gasp. lol ty i shall do that.

Ahmm. Rise and shine, everybody? Requesting a Mentor.

Username | Rhapsody (but "Rhap" is also fine)
Requested Mentor | LongLiveLife
Requested Role | Cunning Linguist, Web Weaver, and a perhaps little bit of Arena Master on the side? In other words, teach me all the tricks you have up your sleeve. I'm lacking.

Mentor request accepted. :D However, because of my impending exams, I'll only be available after June 14 -- in a week's time.

How would you prefer to host our 'lessons'? PMs, VMs, MSN, and Skype work for me.

[Rhapsody]

Schweetness.♥ And the availability issue is totally fine; take all the time you need!

I prefer we do it through PMs. My inbox is generally empty, so there's more than enough room there.

[digimikej]

ok, so after i got the answer to PM him again, i learned my previous PM hadnt gone through,a nd he wasnt ignoring me, but just never got the message. i sent him another message. its been weeks, can i request another mentor now?
