Post your name, along with what character(s) you play.
If you want, specify particular areas you would like feedback on! (It's okay to ask for just general feedback!)
Indicate whether or not you're okay with anonymous feedback. (It's totally cool if you don't.) You can also post links to your character's personal HMD if you'd prefer comments there.
Reply to other people telling them how you think they are doing.
Be polite and objective! If someone says they're cool with anonymous crit, that is not an invitation to be unfriendly. No one likes a Diamond Tiara! If you have something negative to say about somebody else's playing, make your points politely and suggest ways to improve. To give an example:
X - Unhelpful Diamond Tiara - "Jeez, Terri, can you learn to type? You've got about a billion typos in your posts!"
O - Helpful Not Diamond Tiara - "Hi, Terri, I noticed you have a number of typos in your posts. Something you might want to do is give your posts that one last look-over before hitting submit. It would really help with readability!"
?????
PROFIT
You don't have to post your own characters to give other people feedback! You don't have to post your characters at all if you don't want to. It is 100% OPTIONAL. If you do post, we would encourage you to give feedback to at least one other person!
Speaking as a canon-familiar person, I think you're doing really well with her personality. She's definitely the Nephenee I loved from the games, just gone through a couple events that have affected her realistically. (And, you know, a pony now.)
Voice-wise, rendering her accent that way is a personal choice, and I might not have chosen it myself, but I think you do it well.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that your Nephenee is very close to canon, and I enjoy seeing her around the game.
I'm glad to hear that, especially from someone familiar with the canon. Because of the sheer lack of screen time, there is headcanon involved, but I try to infer from canon on that regard. I'm glad she feels like the real Neph, albeit with more fighting and forced-interaction (from living in the city AND from being here) under her belt!
The accent is definitely a personal thing. I very much imagine her as the soft-southern accent (South Carolinian in this case), not the harsh 'hick' feel that slams you in the face with accent, which seems prevalent in fanfic...
Yay! Thank you for the feedback! I hope to continue to make her come out right!
You can't avoid having headcanon. I wouldn't be playing a silent protagonist if I didn't have headcanon. But your headcanon doesn't take away from what we have of her, which is the important thing.
Myself, I'm not good at typing out accents and keeping them consistent and reasonable. So I tip my hat to you.
Dang man I tip MY hat to you for being able to do a silent protag. As much as I'd like to pick up a main character, so many are silents that I get nervous and go 'nope'. I am glad I'm not playing her from Path of Radiance though. We'd have a close to silent then!
I think the reason I'm consistent is...I live in Gerogia. And my family lines are mostly here in the south... plus keeping readability is important. It's part of the reason I switched her 'ta' to 'to', even though it does come out the other way. It just reads easier.
My own accent is neutral, so I sympathize. Although this little one has...made it go a tad southern >>
Also reading back, I missed you saying that you think she's been realistic in how things have shaped her, and I'm glad to hear that. The Shadow event's...events, won't fix things automatically, nor did Nightmare Night's. I treat them (as well as her living in Melior and now in the commune) as the catalyst to push her. She'll still have days, I think, where she's more shy or reserved, because that's just her. But she's come a long way in a short time, I must say.

Yeah, that does help a lot! I'm an Ohioan, I don't get exposed to many accents like that. I think.
