I dont really care whos an [REDACTED], but Everyone is going back and forth on if a sprite can be this or that. Well, a sprite can be anything the person behind the computer screen wishes it to be. That's the glory of Roleplay. And for the record.. I've seen a sprite run into a wall:P

The glory of having the different sprite cultures is for explaining why Bob the silly sprite isn't anything like Sally the blood thirsty sprite. I have seen a few sprites lately though they are all diabolic and a bit freaky scary, but i wouldn't call it 'bubbly' for sure, well, maybe after their stomach is full of whatever corpse they just finished eating, two come in mind quite well.

This is the fundamental issue. Is roleplay enhanced by strong racial traits, or is it enhanced by freedom to play whatever combination appeals? Sign me up for the former.

It's fine to bend concepts a little, to come up with something different. Every race has its oddballs. But blatantly breaking concept is damaging to our joint illusion of an IC world. It's OOCly unpleasant to be around such characters.

what i am saying is there is not a set mold, most of what you see in the HELP <WHATEVER> race is quotes from other NPCs. the cultures are different, they are a preface of what that culture is like, not each individual.

I personally couldn't careless if someone made a serious sprite, perhaps that sprite was raised differently, perhaps he didn't grow up in a sprite home, i'm sure he'd have some sort of issue. The only real limitations is what the player puts on himself when playing. Or maybe my imagination is just to big, but to me, anything is possible.

A macabre female griffon purses her lips.
