Hey all! Quick question that I have been wondering for awhile. A lot of people here use canon characters in the RP, but do you all try to emulate the character exactly like they are in the show or are we allowed to develop the character more than what they had gotten in the show?
The reason I ask this, is because Airazor had gotten almost no character development at all in beast wars (besides the relationship with Tigatron). She's currently a pretty boring character which has a horrible dry sense of humor and loves nature... thats about it. I would like to really develop her more as an individual and member of the maximal team, but I'm not sure if this would be allowed since it could possibly effect her personality. I wanted to ask first before others get annoyed at me for developing her more and deviating from her show persona more and more as time goes on.

Oh no, we allow that. Scorponok has the same issue.

Cool! Can't wait to see what you do with her character.

I agree with NK. You can elaborate with canons. After all, we're not the writers of BW so we can't know exactly what they'd really be like in every situation. Just do what you think feels right with the character. We're pretty flexible, I think. 
I'd love to see more depth to Airazor, like Alak has done with Scorponok (which I love!).
I'm just winging it with Optimus, Rattrap and Tigatron. ...Isn't it obvious?

This is just the fanboy in me talking, but maybe the players for Tigatron and Airazor can expand on the relationship between the two. Watching the show, I never actually realized they had anything going on until like 2 seconds before they were abducted/killed/whateverwasintended.

Yeah, it was hard to notice in the show until that point. The only episode besides that where its noticeable is Spiders Game where Tigatron pretends to act stronger than he is to impress Airazor. xD Otherwise, they just worked together on missions a lot. There was also a few cases where it seemed Airazor liked Optimus too, but I wont go into that. haha.Alak wrote:This is just the fanboy in me talking, but maybe the players for Tigatron and Airazor can expand on the relationship between the two.

But yeah, I agree we should definitely expand on that relationship more. Although, Airazor wont just fall for Tigatron right away, hes gotta work his magic on her a bit.

I agree, Alak. But a little more of their relationship shined through before they were abducted. And then that was that.The only episode besides that where its noticeable is Spiders Game where Tigatron pretends to act stronger than he is to impress Airazor. xD Otherwise, they just worked together on missions a lot.
LoL Yeah, I noticed that too, but I think it went both ways.There was also a few cases where it seemed Airazor liked Optimus too, but I wont go into that. haha.

It's already crossed my mind... But I'm mature enough to handle it, NK! Just for that, I won't bother doing CPR on you if you do start dying of laughter. "Well, that's just prime!"

Well I heard the new CPR removes the whole mouth to mouth thing.. so it might not be as fun anyway.
