  1. I'm feeling lonely but okay, I feel like I'm finally letting go on the people that I kept holding on to, I could be sad but I don't have the energy to cry since I'm extremely tired...

    Don't worry. Whenever i feel like crying, i cant seem to do it either. I think it's because my tear ducts are dry or my nose ends up leaking instead of my eyes.

  2. **Now, there's no need for that guilt-tripping. We are not trying to muffle your creativity, we are just trying to give you the help you've asked for. If other critics are saying the same things about your character, perhaps you ought to give their advice a chance rather than get upset about it.

    *I think the main issue is that you're trying to make your character so cool and dark and packed full of drama that they don't really fit into the mlp world, and therefore don't really have a reason to be in said world. Right? :o Your stories and characters are allowed to make full use of your imagination, interests, and personal experience, but as soon as you tie it to another work of fiction (in this case, mlp,) you need to make sure it fits into that world--otherwise, there's really no point in tying him to that world at all, right? Again, we're not trying to muffle your creativity--we're trying to teach you how to adapt and how to make a balanced, believable character.

     

    Now, characters like the ones you've described aren't necessarily bad, they're just better off in their own world, a world of your creation, so you don't have to constrain them to the laws of another fictional universe. That said, if you really do want to make a character that can fit into the world of mlp (for roleplay or what have you), I can certainly help you out if you just shoot me a PM.

     

    Another thing I want to point out about this type of character is this: A character who creates action is typically far more interesting than a character who receives action. Sure, every story needs its driving force to start out. but if a character is just being pushed around by fate for its whole life, readers are going to have a really hard time relating to or caring about them. Characters need to make their own decisions and their own mistakes in order to feel "real".

    well, he has received action, however, he's more than capable of dishing out more action than he's received. Plus, with the help of someone else, he/she helped me understand the fatal flaws of my character and i revamped his backstory a little bit. It mostly involved severing Kronos' personal ties with Sombra and Chrysalis entirely and making his parents anonymous instead and i clarified that his backstory isn't tragic, but rather his life was rather glorious because he's from an isolated community where soldiers are highly regarded and he's the best of the best in terms of being a soldier.
