What does your character do in their downtime?

[Szar]

Szar is the kind of person to work himself to the point of collapse. I haven't had this happen yet, probably after my current job I'll have him crash. In his downtime, he likes to ice skate. It's just something that relaxes him, and helps him clear his head. Anything that involves being cold he enjoys, really. It reminds him of home.

[Ashe]

Every single time I went a period of inactivity with Reijin, I made a point of referencing some activity that I considered a canon part of his history, even if I didn't manage to write it. Like the loss of Videl in Hell thing (her existence), and a few other things in his time. I just can't get around someone only existing during saga times.

As far as Ashe goes, part of her biggest appeal is RPing the most normal activities.

[Alura]

I think downtime is boring. At the start of a PS or saga I might include what Orion had been doing between roleplays, but if it isn't of significance then I don't focus on it.

Well, yea, I don't mean you should ROLEPLAY downtime, but I do think that perhaps it should be mentioned, like one sentence saying that Orion had a delicious lunch like he always does, with his favorite meal, which is <blank>.

[Ander]

Chris would often role-play things like going to the bathroom. He was one of the few who actually paid attention to that kind of stuff.

[Tyr]

Downtime seems to be a great way to 'fill a post' when I just got this post that I want to take somewhere but feel the process to going there is way to short, then I figure throwing in a shower, eating etc. would be good.

However after reading this post, I'll try making my character do the basic things regularly.

Bet I'll forget it though and eventually I'll have to roleplay him starved...

[Kappa]

I have writing issues. This is one of them. I've yet to fix it.

Guess I'll get back to you =/

[Alexander Trafford]

my character slumps on a couch and does illicit drugs while observing apples.

[Celena]

Downtime seems to be a great way to 'fill a post' .

Exactly. It's filler. I couldn't write without fillers.

[Aero]

Aero's your cocky inner-city guy that simply doesn't give a fuck about essentially everything. He usually spends his days either training with his sensei, going out and seeing what type of trouble he can get into, or just go to a local bar and womanize every woman there.


He's one of those lovable assholes, basically.

[Cain]

Talks to himself.
He's crazy, afterall.
