Erm . . . I'm thinking about doing some stories and maybe participate in a little in-character roleplaying in an MMORPG, and I was wondering . . .
. . . Just how SHOULD certain characters talk?
In particular, Reimu, Marisa, Alice, and Suika, but . . .
I decided to make this topic to help all those who are interested in writing in-character dialogue for the various characters of Touhou Project, but aren't sure how to write it.
If you have tips on writing for a particular character that you'd like to share, or have a question about how to write for a specific character, then by all means post away!
. . . And if you can answer the questions of those who have posted before you, then by all means do so!
So, that said, I'll open it up with a few questions and a little tip.
The tip: If you want to include the 'da ze' or 'ze' verbal tic of Marisa, you don't have to include it after every other sentence! For a possible example on how often to use it, try listening to (of all things) the Japanese voice acting for Prinnies (which are famous for having a verbal tic of their own, '-ssu'). That'll give you a good idea of how a tic should be done.
And now my questions:
1st: How high-and-mighty should I write the lines of Alice Margatroid, if at all? I know that she's occasionally portrayed with a sense of superiority, but I'm not sure how much I should lay it on (without making her unlikeable, preferrably).
2nd: Suika Ibuki is famous for never being sober. However, I don't know how to 'type drunk'. By this, I mean . . . A) How would one 'sound drunk' in typed text without being wholly unreadable, or B) If it comes down to Suika typing, how 'badly' would the alcohol make her type?
If someone could answer these questions, I'd be appreciative, though you are all welcome to ask questions on this thread as well.
With that, I bid you adieu and happy writing!
