I’ve read your posts, and I think you have a routine of writing things based on everyone having an ultimate goal of achieving this “great power.” I respectfully disagree, and feel characters, like yours, can be more fleshed out. This is better than your other posts I think, because it more details the mental burdens your character is having, rather than being the “epic” character shooting for power, though I still think it can be improved. It comes down to why I believe Marvel is better than DC. While DC has aspects I like, I feel Marvel takes the cake because the stories aren’t always solely based on some legendary battle or artifact of power, rather the struggles the characters have as heroes. I loathe characters like Superman because they’re boring and smash heavy, and I much prefer characters like John Constantine, Punisher, or Spiderman, who all have an internal struggle as characters beyond their hero identities. In LotC, the best way to understand this is looking at the magic and supernatural elements as the setting, and an aspect of the game, rather than the plot. The plot should be what your character is going through psychologically, physically, etc, rather than grabbing for power. Having a character instantly jump to t5 magic is just boring. A lot of the enjoyment of magic in LotC is progressing in it slowly, and developing your character as you do so.
I wasn’t going to respond in any criticizing way to your posts, but I was a complete edge lord once, and while I like your enthusiasm to write, I feel like I can help out. I have sympathy for you, and I feel like people are giving you too much ****, instead of trying to help a newer player nourish. I want to teach you what I’ve learned in writing and storytelling with my time here. My discord is LeoRabbit99#2143, and feel free to message me. If you don’t want to, don’t feel obligated, but I wanna help out if I can. In the end, if you’re having a good time, stick with what you’re doing. It’s only a game, after all.
