That's ok. Things happen.

Well, Fletcher has been buried. Morgan is still by the site. Gaz went inside to drink. Asda is tending to Hunter who arrived fairly recently. Andromeda is still outside as well.

No, Desmond is/was outside the bar... in which direction, I couldn't tell you. We are nearby (?) Gaz's ship. You'd probably here a sound in the bar, though it wouldn't be explosion-loud.

So, I thought it would be a fun idea to create an obituary page for all the patrons that have met their doom at the GESB. If you have any characters that have died at the bar (or in their spin-off threads) post the information and I'll combine it all.


Here's mine:

Name: Zorish 3-5-8 of the Kelp Siat Pool
Age: 46 Cycles
Species: Yeerk
Alignment: Imperial
Cause of Death: Starvation


Name: Tamora Rerin
Age: 20
Species: Human
Alignment: Imperial
Cause of Death: Decapitation


**Older peoples, if you know of any deaths before we joined, feel free to add them!

Well, there was a character who brought these demons to the bar just to fight. I came up with something powerful because I wanted something like Mar or the demons, and it was kind of like the death star. the Vampire came from there and fought one of the demons. They killed each other. Mechastar, as I called it, has faded out like some of my other characters.

So yeah, I had an Energy Vampire. Though he was just in for the fight and had no development. That's why he had no name. I tend not to name unimportant people. There was a Hunter after temrash that originally wasn't named, but I wound up having him talk to the people and gave him a name.

This is exactly why it's important not to bring in a character without an idea of backstory, M.O., personality, and of course a name :P

Only important people get names. That's how you know you're meant to care about them.

A friend of mine wrote once a short story in which the main character (1st person narration) was never named, nor was their gender ever revealed. They were still important, and the reader still cared about them. It was actually a really cool experiment!

But yeah, I think the point is that it's better to care about and develop all characters. Creating characters is the closest the average person can come to actually creating people; there aren't undeveloped people in this world, so ideally, there shouldn't be undeveloped characters, either.

And, when I'm reading someone else's story, I like to piece together (and invent) information about so-called unimportant characters to make a richer and more enjoyable story and world.
