I like the idea, maybe these character could guide you around the site when signing up? just what i was thinking of!! each character could give a tutorial to the new player when they enter their shop/etc. we could have one character to be the leader of the tutorial though, probably the character we'd place in the help section. i like it !! we'd have to hear with the coders when it's time, if it's even possible to make it happen |

I like that. What may be an option, though, could be in settings the option to turn off the dialogue? Not that I don't love the idea, but - unless we create a heeeck of a lot of dialogue - they're gonna be saying similar things each time you go back and some people may not like it. So we'd still have the characters but they are just seen as part of the shop or maybe just say 'Hello' but it's not as big as it would be in the introduction? I mean, my thought will largely depend on where the characters are located in the shop. Some games have characters whose dialogue goes over the shop (a bit like that character on VP before you log in who tells you to sign up etc.) and it's a pain to click off of when you already know how it all works. but otherwise, I really like the idea and it'd be great to be able to start planning it better when the layout and features of the site are better known :3 i think it would be great if we could have the option to completely disable dialogue from the characters AFTER the tutorials in each spot where the NPCs are. and the basic hello after the tutorial is a go-to idea! lemme explain in pics...  do u get what i mean i also thought that we wouldn't buy the clothes by clicking on them. that option would make our avatar try them on (and it'd just view the character wearing the skin they have on atm and the clothing of choice. ) and then as the player can check if it looks ok, they can decide if they wanna buy it or not. Oh most definitely after tutorials. It'd be real annoying to have to keep explaining things to people that are in the tutorials, to find out they'd disabled the dialogue -.- I know there's people who will do it. There's always one ; - ; Ahh I get it, so kinda like the dialogue bubbles you'd get in Pokemon DS games, for example ? (it's the first example that I could think of for what I meant haha) Idk why, for some reason, I picked the NPC on the left side so I was really thrown to see it on the right haha. like on VP ? |

That sounds really awesome. NPCs on sites can really add a lot!
We maybe need a theme first? XD

"Just like you, I was also a mortal once. However here in the Afterlife we forget our pasts and take up new challenges! Let's get you started in your new life." I really like that... Like people forget their 'mortal' life (aka real world life) and becomes really focused on the virtual world instead (A new life), you see where I'm going?... I honestly find it kinda creepy, but at the same time I really like it |

while not a character, i think our mascot should be a red bear (in homage of the fuckening blue bear) i figured since blue is the opposite of red and the blue bear is the only thing wrong with the site, the red bear would embody everything right with the site idk i feel like i sound like a moron saying that but?  |

I dont really get it. Where is the blue bear from? (also ... the complementary color to blue is orange, not red. red and green are complementary to each other.;; sorry ) |

When there is an error on this forum, there is a bear on the error page. If you haven't seen it yet, you're lucky.
So it would be like a nod to this halfway site.

I have so contradictory feelings about this idea. First of all I would love for the theme to be as neutral as possible, so we can reach out to as many and different people as possible. W/o all these characters or this big plot around the site.
But on the other hand I kind of love the idea of having a FEW characters, or HOSTS on the site, but a very limited amount and not too much focus on this.
An idea to the idea, would maybe be to have a main HOST character who welcomes you and explains how the game/site works, with tutorial and that -maybe including a shorr backstory of the site.. Someone to represent the site? And maybe he/she would only be found later in a section for FAQ, where he/she will answer the FAQ for you, or recommend to you someone else (a real person) who might give a better and longer answer if you didn't get the answer you needed. This recommended person might differ based on your question, what area of expertice is needed.
So in other words, this ONE character would maybe be enough, so we don't overdo the idea. In addition we could maybe have a character to represent each mini-game as well, as that might be more accepted to a wider audience.
