Hehehe I think my memory serves XD. From what I remember, he sounds like a very scary dude that I do not want to cross... And which makes me scared for the gang because he sounds scary. I LOVE IT WHEN VILLAINS SCARE ME! I made one villain who is an absolute psychopath who scares the shit out of me, but that kinda helps with motivation, if that makes sense. And when reading about a villain that's scary AF it really helps set the mood and connect with the character. Hmmm, the story not changing if they were removed might not be good (unless that's what you want, like if you want them to have a smaller role). That reminds me of my cut comic relief characters - they served no purpose and I somehow convinced myself I liked them as much as the other protagonists. Don't know if I convinced anyone else tho XD. But one day I got the brilliant idea to cut them and it was the best writing decision I made, because without that I never would have started this draft. Let's choose to ignore my nostalgia ramble. I loved Jade on the MB, she was hilarious and her quips were everything. I can see how Brandon is the big one, since he's the leader, and then Wolf is kinda with Ash since I think they were brothers (can't remember if it's biological - but don't remind me! I wanna be surprised!). It's fair that everyone else falls off a bit, since there are so many of them. Thinking of that many arcs takes time.

I think it would be a real balancing act doing development solely in RP, since there will be a lot of people possibly trying to achieve the same thing. I feel like characters will need to help each other while also developing (at least in a few experiences I've had - not here on the wiki but in other places), which would be challenging but at the same time be a good experience as a writer, since it could help with multitasking. I've found that I'm a control freak because if there's not a plot in which I am prominent in, I kinda go like "?????????". I like to have a say in shaping the plot and I like for all characters to have the same amount of importance (or for everyone to have one important character and maybe a few others that are important but not like main main characters) so that everyone gets acknowledged. Kinda learned this side of me from said RP experiences elsewhere XD. I can't wait to see Sandi develop! And it's one of the frontlining characters of my writing project lol, she'd be best friends with Kaili (I'm actually having a name crisis with the project too tbh, part of me wants to change up a name or two and hers is one).

It could also be called "Verity likes a lot of RWBY OC names and wants them for her project but Verity doesn't know if she'll get confused if she uses them for both". I have no clue if I'll confuse characters if they have the same name (especially first name) so I'm either doing name changes or moving characters to background characters to avoid that possibility. And I also wanted to change my second team (KRYL) because part of me just wasn't happy with the name. I don't even know why :P
