I have a funny habit when I RP. Have for a while, so it's not just a recent thing. I tend to devote heavily to a single roleplay, even if life of late means less so than I used to, between school and my kitten, and yet my interests while branch off dramatically. I'll be up to pace in maybe two RPs. It's not hard usually, though the splitting into many separate scenes and tendency to play them through and reach casual points or to slow down because of repeating things that've been done before. I love playing these things out. They're a lot of fun and it brings out a human side of the character. It CAN slow things down though, especially when one's attention is split amongst a number of things.

Why is it, though, that when I am just about set to catch up on this RP and start getting things rolling with one character that I always seem to suddenly start getting bursts of temptation to create a second?

I brainstorm these things all the time, but rarely stick around long enough to flesh them out- especially as I usually alter them to suit the world I put them into, so I have to decide where and how I'd RP them before I do it for too long. So why do I do this? Why keep getting bursts of ideas and urges to play them out or build them when I don't have the time to devote to making them full? ADD? Bursts of shininess and inspiration?

Then again, there's always a bit of time in things like Heaven or Hell where I feel like I'd like to try a different character archtype since I've been playing Rayner this long, or to get something with powers so I could really do combat as a light activity. Just kick back and have fun. if nothing else, powers allow such visual images and themes to be weaved, it almost seems a waste sometimes to not use any, even if it's just how things should be for Rayner.

So.
