Only constructive thoughts, please - Orion - 10-18-2003
OK, after reading Reijin and Raditzu's rather lengthy post about the history of this RPG, it got me thinking. I know that technically TU is a new character and that he is not either FT or CT. However, there is something telling me that I should perhaps stop using TU. Out of respect for the past FT and CT. I know that might sound a little silly, seeing as TU is a fusion of the two traits and is techncially new.
However, it feels a little ... disrespectful, for use of a better word, to the great work that these two RP'ers put into the Trunks duo. Plus it would be nice to be another character whose history has not been clearly defined in the past.
So I ask you your opinion, do you think it would be respectful/good idea/whatever to switch from the TU character and create my own history with Cell? Please only constructive replies.

About the respect part:
They have chosen to give you this character and they have done so with respect. You are more than capable of handling the character and FT would have taken his baby away if you were not up to standards.
About the other part:
If you don't feel like your character is yours, you have a few options. Either just RP him changing into who you think he should be, it's your character now. Not anyone else's so you will be making most if not all of the descions about the character. Yeah, he still has remenants of his other selves but now he's a different guy. Your other option would be, like you said, to change characters. While, I understand why you could want to I don't really think you should.
It's up to you.

What he said. I think you are more than up to the challenge.

I agree with them. You are an outstanding RPer, and you can mold this new guy to be what you want, though like Koola said, hewill still have some of the other characters feelings and the like.
I've never switched a character in any RPG, if I have problems, I work on them. If 18 got boring, I'd RP having her becoming insane or something, or evil.
You could switch, but you deserve TU, they said it.

Thank you all for your kind words, they have spurred me to keep TU, at least for a little while longer. It still however does not change the fact that his past has been written for him. I just think it would be better if I defined the past of the character, so I immerse myself more into him. But then again I don't think I should, I have put about five solid months into Trunks Unified and I don't really want to erase his progress.
Oh well, my problem I suppose... I'll sort it out.
