Only think I have to point out thats wrong with the above, is that druids have to get their power from gods. While this is true, they are not like clerics, their nature magic actually does not cease if they become faithless, neither do they have to appease their gods. Druids who change deities keep their magic in the transition (I base this on several FRC precidents-not on source, someone can answer that more then I can). but I would infer, based on the precident, that nature magic is a completely third party realm, despite that all magic uses the weave (which is not known IC), despite that it is granted from nature deities, that because it is neutral deities that provide this magic, they would not care (as much) about what favor they grant, as much as say a cleric. Do I agree with the precident, not 100%. but how do you piss off a neutral deity? even as a cleric, the 1 step rule, means you pretty much can be any alignment and still receive your magical powers. I use the 1 step rule as an example, because I believe, that the 1 step rule is a proxy for favor. If you become "Evil enough" lathander wont give you your spells. but if your only neutral, lathander might see that you can be redeemed. this is why that mystra being NG makes no sense, as a neutral being she allowed magic to be made, in any form, (thus evil and good spells, not necromancy but in dnd there are good and evil spells.) According to this server, we druids get our powers from gods and lose our powers if we become faithless. We have to pick a deity and we have to please that deity. There has been a druid who, in the past, switched deities and spent a month unable to cast spells or use druid powers. I TOO thought this!, as Quendros lost his powers. BUT, in recent years, I know of two druids who switched faiths, and when I told them they should be unable to use their magic, a dm ruled they were ok. So it seems we have had differing experiences. |

I think McGuffin really just hit the nail on the head with his comments. You shift too much openly, and you need to be willing to let others take the center of attention sometimes.

So over the course of 2 years that ive been here, Fenix has transitioned from a very crazy, egocentrical character with no grasp on what hes doing and no drive, to the being that he is now. I have gotten the pleasure of interacting with the many varied faces of Forgotten Realms Cormyr, and been able to expierence each and every one of their stories to some greater or minor extent. So with all that time put in, I now want to bring this back to the forefront.
The original topic asked the same thing I will be asking now
Fenix as a character is vibrant and varied in behavior, so much so that even I don't understand him sometimes. He comes to live and breath on his own terms, and guided by his own actions more than simply being played by a person behind a keyboard. He will make friends or enemies as naturally guided. I ask of all of you, what do you think of this character thus far? I want open and full criticism from anybody whom has an opinion on the PC, no need to hold it back. If you have questions about something about the character that I can answer, I will see fit to do so here. If you have a problem with certain behaviors or anything along those lines, please do voice them. We better ourselves by an active effort, and the first step is to seek where we fall short. So lets have it.

Not sure what's being asked. Are you asking for opinions on your PC, or opinions on your writing? Opinions on another player character are purely subjective, I'm not sure if they should factor in at all to what you do with your PC. Opinions and criticism on writing style and narrative prose, if anything, is far more critical in making your PC more enjoyable and believable. The willingness to interact with others in a meaningful way and get them involved in roleplay is also critical, but that is again a somewhat OOC trait. How anyone plays a PC shouldn't matter, good, evil, right or wrong, so long as you play them as best you can, with as much quality writing as you can muster.
I haven't interacted with Fenix enough to really make a call about how you write, really, which is the only thing I care about. What I have seen has generally been competent and inclusive towards others, so I guess you've got props for that. Again, how you play the PC shouldn't matter terribly much, as they are their own person, how you want to play them. So long as you're having fun, being OOCly courteous towards your fellows, and writing as well as you can, there's not much else to say.

It is a reflection on style, writing, etc. A good example would be the posts on page 1. Id be more depthful but im on my cell phone at work right now |

Fenix is great, I like seeing how he's progressed over time, as I do with many characters. You can see the time and effort put in, and the results come out. And I know exactly what you mean by him coming to life and just doing his thing. It's much the same with Dreshae for me, and I like that our lil people do that. Just keep on RPing as natural, and good things and progression'll come. Keep it cool and IC, and it rocks.

Fenix seems to have done a fair bit of growing, it's really nice to see characters that change over time.
Unfortunately from my characters perspectives he's often focused on seemingly acting like an childish prankster looking for attention, which pretty much keeps them from getting involved with him, but I've gotten a few small glimpses at his serious side which has proven to be fairly thoughtful - and I generally as a player am /sadface that I haven't gotten to see more of it due to character prerogatives.
I think so long as you're telling the story you want to tell with him, you shouldn't be too worried about what other players, or their characters think.

Cant say I'm an expert on druids... but as far as his alignment goes (im assuming chaotic neutral) its pretty spot on... I never know what to expect with him . Drunk dress fenix, serious face serious fenix, friendly fenix, dramatic tension against obvious ebil fenix.... good fun.
EDIT: After reading some other notes here, Im inclined to agree on the public forum shifting... I kinda wish the first time I saw it ic that I would have rp'ed "GAH! Were-beast! Killit, killit with fire!" but that boat has sailed  |

As I have been tend to do over the time i've been here I would like to renew this thread and get some opinions and constructive criticism based on what others have gotten to see of my roleplay of Fenix. He has become a vastly different character than he once was, and that is something reflected in both his roleplay and imagery. Just like in the first post, I would like to hear the views of others around my character, as kind or harsh as they might be.

my 2 cents, i always saw Fenix as CN by the by. but a druid in a lawful society would imo lean towards CN anyway. My own interactions with fenix have not had much depth but...there is reason for that. I like the character i like that the druidy side isn't so pronounced. I think there is a lot of lore and expectation by players about what a druid should be (where are the neutral evil blight druids trying to poison people?). I am not saying i think fenix has abandoned the lore but i think he is in the process of making his own interpretation of what that lore means to him.
What i don't get from fenix is any sense of purpose, i don't see a direction for him i don't see any goals. not exactly a criticism as i havent interacted so much with him just wondering if fenix has objectives he is working towards and how he plans to go about achieving them

Fenix is a hard character to explain. Its in a way that makes it actually a challenge to play him for the same reason that even I don't understand everything he will do when im in his mindset, though all of it inevitably links to some other purpose. If I had to give an accurate portrayal of Fenix's character as he developed, hes a mixture between Shifter and Tender of Worlds. The way I view a shifter and the way they were explained to me is that they eventually become akin to a Shaolin Monk. Highly wise people, that look at the world around them and seek to find an inner peace relating to that world. As a high natural wisdom that Fenix has received, its not uncommon that people will actually see that reflected in some opportunities, but at the same time hes a very young man, whom didn't entirely grow up quite obviously, due to his life experiences. A mixture of wanting to be the mature wise person that people expect him to have to eventually be, and the kid thats fighting growing up because being young is much more enjoyable. As far as the druid lore goes....theres a two part issue there. As a newer DND player, I knew nothing about the lore of DND when I started. i got much better with that, but the information (especially accurate third edition+ information) is very, VERY limited about druids, their behaviors, etc (though theres some really -really- cool *chickenwing* you can read about them if you look deep enough that I use on Fenix). The other part is backstory based where Spoiler? Fenix grew up going master to master as he moved across Faerun until he reached Cormyr, learning different perspectives, outlooks, and ideas. Different interpretations of how to be a druid, and what that means, all of which ultimately culminates in "It only means what you decide it does, and you have to figure out what that is yourself. Fenix has very clear goals, especially more lately. Are they flat out "Hey im doing this"? No, not really due to some restrictions and roleplay blocks. But from a bystanders POV its not always easy to get that full story either. I appreciate the Feedback and I hope I managed to keep my thooughts together long enough to make sense of some stuff for you |
