*Looks like Edgar Allen Poe the day he went insane*
Upset isn't expressive enough. Try "Completely and utterly devestated and has lost all sense of self-confidence."

*sighs* Listen Rojo, it's not that the character in itself was bad. The character was actually very good. It's just that he doesn't fit into the CM world. I guess when you were creating him, you misunderstood quite a bit about what Asila was trying to get at.

Yes, of course I did. I tried my best and it wasn't good enough. Nevermind, at least I won't ever get it wrong again.

You know, it's not a complete loss though. The character, like I said, is still a very good character. He seems like he might have fit very well in a 'modern day' werewolf rp in comparison. And instead of Guardians, the enemies would have been vampires.
But, I'll also have you know you weren't the only one. I also had to write TheFoeBane late last night, telling him his character was rejected.

Poor him. I'm sure he (And by that I mean someone with an ounce of literary talent) will think of another one. That sounds like an insult, but it's not.
Well, at least you can't get it wrong if you don't try!

Yah, he took it pretty lightly. He already has an idea for another character.
Well, if you don't try, then you can't play!

Wow, I wish I could be as good as that...
...I thought that was the point?

Well, Tim/FoeBane has been rping since he was your age. And now he's 21 or something. So he has a lot of experience. And I'm sure he's had his fair share of rejections, enough that he's used to it. The idea is to always remain a little objective. It's not like we're rejecting your character because we wanted to. In fact, Asila was nearly having a breakdown, feeling like a horrible person. She didn't want to have to reject your character. And she was afraid of hurting your feelings.
The point is, Rojo, that you're going to face rejections of all forms throughout your entire life. I got rejected from the top choice for universities I wanted to go to. People get rejected at job interviews for positions they were dying for. But we also, time to time, are accepted. And it's that much better when we are.

Pfft. Don't be silly! Asila didn't hurt my feelings at all! In fact I'm grateful for her showing me what an awful character that was! What a waste of two hours of my life! Two whole hours spent on that awful, gimmicky, stupid character!
Yep. Rejections teach us how stupid we are and how to better ourselves until we finally have a chance to scrape a living of our lives!
Yes I'm lying so I don't end up breaking things!

Knock it off Rojo. You're not being cute or clever. And your sarcasm and cynicism aren't appreciated. There's only so much repeating myself that I can tolerate.
To begin with, you decided to take a risk in making a character that was so, so different. Whenever people do this, they tend to ask the moderator/creator if it's all right first, just out of courtesy. And so they don't wind up finding out later that their character can't be used.

Okay, I'll be honest: I do not think I am good enough to make a character for CM. This is not me being stubborn or crying for attention, I just don't think I have the writing ability.
Yes, I did take a risk. And I was wrong. I could easily pin the blame on someone else, but that wouldn't be fair. I accept I didn't think things through and it's my own fault.

Rojo, first of all, you already have a character. The Vigilante is plenty cool. Second of all, yes, you do have the writing ability to rp in CM. And I don't think writing ability is going to be a big issue even if you did. You forget that a lot of rpers on FF have varying writing abilities. Pan is dyslexic, so by saying you don't have the ability to, you're also saying Pan wouldn't either. Third, getting one character rejected is not the end of the world. You can make other characters. There are plenty of cool groups to belong to. You could make a forsaken, of a werewolf sentinel.

Oh great. Now I feel bad for making Asila feel bad. CURSE ME AND MY TENDANCY TO GET OVER THINGS QUICKLY!
Also, I'd just end up making something terrible like a farmer with a chainsaw for a hand...ooh... *notes that down*
And the Vigilante is NOT cool. It's like my version of Batman.

But Batman IS cool....
*coughs* Actually, I was curious as to where you were going with Vigilante. (though yes, I recognize it's a 'mystery.') *grins* I actually thought that the parallelism between him and Asila's profile was uncanny and pretty cool. Like, he decided to pick up where Asila had left off when Asila was captured. *can't help but speculate*

True...but that means someone has to be the Joker...hint hint...
...I think you just somehow helped me improve my horrible character. Anyway, who said it's a he? *Grins* You'll have to wait and see. That is if they don't die really quickly because I made them so poorly.
