The IC Critque Meme!

[lifetothefullest]

Have you ever just wanted to tell someone flat-out what you think of them as a person? Does your roommate have this one quirk that drives you up the wall, like dripping apathy all over the kitchen sink? Sometimes all it takes to be the best person you can be is a dose of self-awareness, sometimes what it takes instead is a cluebat to the head... and sometimes they just have a stupid name you can never quite spell right.

For all this and more, have I got the meme for you!

THE LOWDOWN
i. Post a header with your character's name.
ii. Comment in-character to other people's headers. With what? Depends on your CR! Maybe they're a good person and really should keep on keeping on, maybe literally everyone can see they need to suck it up and confess already, maybe they'll change their wicked ways if just one extra person casts aspersions on their pompadour. Bring in examples if you want, as with any helpful critique. Be as creative as you like!
iii. Other characters will comment to yours, no doubt overflowing with well-meaning advice on how to be the best person they can be. Your character is free to respond. Excuse you, maybe despair is still in fashion??
iv. Feel free to assume there's a compulsion to speak their minds, if your character's not usually the type to give unsolicited advice.
v. A probably unnecessary reminder, but just remember, this is not a place for OOC crit! There are other, more appropriate channels for that.

You need to take better care of yourself.

[dragonsgrasp]

It's... not as bad as it seems, I promise.

[fracturedbeauty]

You could be more interesting if you tried, instead of running yourself into the ground. However, I can appreciate that you're easy to tease.

[dragonsgrasp]

More interesting? [Hm. He's not so sure what to think about that part. Does it matter how interesting he is or isn't?]

Anyway, I'm hardly that easily teased. [...Ha, yeah, right.]

[fracturedbeauty]

Undoubtedly. You would probably make delightful conversation if you weren't so inclined to self-destruction.

Oh, is that so? Well, perhaps I can go pick on Rydia-chan~

[dragonsgrasp]

Self destruction... you're exaggerating. I'm hardly that reckless.

[Except... everything that keeps happening here says otherwise. The Gods' War really has changed him, made him more prone to taking awful risks.]

You had better not bother Rydia...

[fracturedbeauty]

Hmm, and here I thought you were just stubborn. Don't tell me that you're foolish enough to believe that you aren't just running yourself into the ground. Your skill is admirable, but there's no precision behind it.

[dragonsgrasp]

It takes incredible precision to be a dragoon, as well as discipline. You're wrong about that.

[Can he argue the part about running himself into the ground? Well. No, not so much, really.]

[fracturedbeauty]

Translate precision to purpose. What's the point of your determination to be so reckless? You are a fine knight, but what good does it serve you, or anyone you care for, if you keep throwing yourself needlessly in harm's way?

[dragonsgrasp]

It's not that I actively try to throw myself into harm's way... It's just... It's complicated. [He sighs heavily.] I've always been very driven to strengthen myself. To... prove myself worthy, as a dragoon. I suppose... given some things that have happened, that drive is stronger now than ever before.
