One of my favorite concepts EVER was the one I made for Selina's 1890's game, Clarissa Landen. The game ended up being unsatisfying for me to play, not by any fault of Selina's, but because I felt my character just did not fit in with a couple of the other PCs in it.

So I parted ways with the game, but I never stopped liking Clarissa!

Recently I had the chance to make a concept of Clarissa's later incarnation in the canon Second Age of Exalted. I'm not sure I'm 100% satisfied with what I came up with, though. But I did pass on her best artifact, my favorite of the ones I made for her: the Scepter of Mourning. It's a cane-sword, with a white jade outside (can be wielded as a cane, too) and a starmetal blade on the inside which doubles the effect of Lesser Sign of Saturn (3 minimum LEVELS of damage for all in range of the effect, devastating!) While sheathed the cane has social effects pertaining to leadership and Endings.

I just don't want to ever. mess. with website tags again. x.x

It's much harder to mess with them AFTER the fact. I have this nasty perfectionist streak, which doesn't help things. I always want to FIX it better. I'll go through the old posts and go "I should've used that tag and that category" or "this has too many categories, must be something wrong with my organization system!" and so on.

I don't even think I'm satisfied with it now, but I don't think I will EVER really be satisfied, now that I think of it. Even before the big tag change, I didn't really like them. I do think it's *better* now than it was before. But there are things that need to be addressed still.

I'm just going to do them later. =_=

My sis is coming really soon now! And there's lots of stuff (namely RP) that I'm doing before then.

Sunday: Wardragon and Panoply! Winning day :D
Monday: Emberdays. 2-3 minis, so might be a lil' draining.
Tuesday: Ex2 one-shot during the night hours, with Riezsa and Kiran!
Wednesday: ED - Iesan's intro, hopefully a conclusion. :/
Thursday: ...hrm! Maybe L5R, but I kinda have a feeling it won't run.
Friday: Helping Jon finish cleaning and preparing for my sister's visit!
Saturday: Sis flies in! Yay!

I just finished playing 1890's game, too. It was a good session. It's been VERY slow in coming, but I'm starting to get a feel for Clarissa, my Sidchar. The future visions thing, I think I can really work with. And her academic sorcery schooling. Hopefully I'll actually get to use some of her socials some day. ^^

Anyway, is bed times nao. I have RPs and Kalli fic-readings when I wake!

Like the title says... I got Jon to buy me fig newtons, and I am eating them. <3 (random~!)

Anyway, I ran ED today, and it went fairly well. I shouldn't get so enamored at my NPCs, but I liked portraying Jackal for Milena. His methods may not be good for the Realm in the long run, but he certainly thinks they are. Well, he's just one of those stubborn-to-a-fault Sids, I guess!

Milena's scene needs to continue sooner or later, I never got to bring out Elyssa. ;.;

Lim and Valeriya got more Vermillion talk and I sure hope that I didn't reveal so much the rest of the game is pointless. I don't think so though, since even without those revelations there is still plenty that can happen in the Realm to give PCs something to do. Besides that, they have to actually figure what to do with that knowledge, if anything.

Well it's Christmas Eve now, and I'm going to be heading to my inlaws.

I've not been up to much lately except not getting enough sleep, being irritable and stressed about the littlest things (like, a couple days ago I was so fucking pissed off about not being able to S-rank PSU story missions for PA frags, and I kept trying and trying at it until I got it) and basically wanting to give up on life, or at the very least participating or socializing in it.

I was supposed to play Wardragon yesterday but I couldn't because I was so damn sleep deprived due to all the depression, stress and anxiety keeping me up all night. So I just exploded and said "fuck this" more or less and said I'd leave the game, since I couldn't post anything due to being too damn tired and distraught, and people would disregard my character's attempts at leadership and just do whatever they want, anyway.
