Game Discussion / Re: Unappreciative of original characters...
« on: October 14, 2012, 11:58:42 pm »
I've had this happen to me a couple of times where people have told me that my character's color was too unatural. "So what?" I say.... "It's my character, I can make it look however I want". T^T
Don't let these trolls tell you how to design your characters. Just ignore them.

Game Discussion / Re: Feralheart Used for Sexual Behavior?
« on: October 12, 2012, 05:39:42 am »
I don't like it when people come on FH and do this kind of nasty stuff. I especially hate it when people try to bring it into friendly RPs, especially if they are my RPs.  >:(  I do not tolerate any nasty sexual behavior in my RPs. If I see them doing anything like that, I say "If you want to do that kind of stuff, take it somewhere else. It's against the rules and it's NOT happening in my group."
And what surprises me even more is that some of these players who do these sexual roleplays are kids younger than 12! -Facepalm- What is the world coming to?!  :o

It's nice to have character names spelled differently. It saves people from confusion between, perhaps another that might have the same name (but different spelling ;)). But most of my characters' names are really uncommon or improvised, so I don't have this problem very often - only once.

Exactly. I have some friends who came up with some really unique names that were, as you said, "improvised". I like it when people get creative with their character names, especially when they made them up themselves.  :)

Ikr. I have seen some people fight over that. I find it funny because it's nothing but pointless arguing over names that are commonly used throughout FH.
One time, some troll came up to me and harrass me because one of my characters supposedly had the person's real life name. She got upset and told me "That's my name IRL. I suggest you change it right now!!" -Facepalm- I couldn't believe it. I told her that I had named my character after something else and NOT her. She eventually left me alone and went away. Some people are just so vain. -.-  I've seen a few players run around with characters that have my actual name, but I don't say anything to them at all.

Vain? I would have gone with looking for a reason to be mad, or just plain not smart.
If that person thinks they're the only person in the world to have that name, and that anyone that uses it is stealing, well, then. Just. Lol.

Well, that is a good point. Some will do that for an excuse to fight and argue, because they got nothing better to do. That's when the block button comes in handy.  ;)

 I've never had anyone challenge me about it, but it's quite funny when it does happen. Especially when I've seen a "Shadow," call someone out on that, then fight with another "shadow," about name stealing.  ::)

Game Discussion / Unique Character Names: Why make a big deal about the way it's spelled?!
« on: October 06, 2012, 12:55:56 am »
You may be wondering, "What do you mean by that?"  :-\

Well to put it this way, lately some of my characters in Feral-Heart maps have been getting attention all because of the way I spelled their names. For example, I have a fox character that I called "Kopper". Now I spelled her name with a "K" instead of a "C" for a reason. I was NOT trying to spell out the word, "Copper". I meant to spell it as "Kopper". I got that name from a little doggie I used to own. However, some random people have come up to me and blurt out "That's not how you spell copper, you illiterate idiot!" or "Copper is spelled with a C not a K. NAME FAIL!!!"  >:(  
I try to explain it to them that it was spelled with a "K" on purpose, some appologize while others just "roll their eyes" and call me illiterate. Spelling a name a different way does NOT make someone illiterate! It makes the name somewhat unique. I like giving my characters unique names that you don't see very often around FH... spelling them a different way is one way I do it. There are several names that can be spelled different ways.

I also have a warrior cat character with a different name that some people have harrassed me over. I have a queen-rank cat with the name of CoffeeCream, and some of these so called "warrior cat experts" have come up and told me... "A cat would no NOTHING about coffee or cream! NAME FAIL!!" Often times I tell them that this character used to be a house-pet at one time with the name of "Coffee". It usually shuts them up.... and I get to keep my awesome name ^^

So the question is, should people be harrassing other people over the names of their characters? I think NOT. If you think they missplled the name on their character, think AGAIN! It may be spelled like that for a reason. IF they did spell it incorectly by mistake, give them a helpfull and polite suggestion on how to spell it correctly.
Do say: "Excuse me? Did you mean to spell it like that? If not, the correct way to spell it is ......"  
DON'T say: "You moron, you spelled ..... all WRONG! Do it like this.....!!"   That will only cause trouble and tension.  

Besides, there is nothing wrong with someone wanting to name their character something different from everyone elses. I see alot of common names like, Shadow, Raven, Lilly, Angel, Sarah, etc, etc. I have seen some people with names that can be spelled in different ways... like Kristen: it can be spelled like Christan, Kristan, Cristan, etc. Or Jacualin: Jaquallyn, Jacualynn, Jaquallin, and so on and so forth. But I've seen some players harrass each other over it. "It should be spelled like this..." "No, it should be spelled like this!..." What does it matter?! -.-

**The only character names that people should REALLY worry about are the inappropriate, rule-breaking names. I have seen some players give their characters really nasty names that were really offensive and considered against the rules.  :o I won't give a list of what names I have seen, but you get my point.**

All in all, the way names are spelled, pronounced, etc, does not matter to me. If you want to name you character something unique and original, I say go for it. Don't let others tell you how you should spell it or what it should be. It ain't up to them, its up to YOU. After all, it is your character, you made it so you call it whatever you want (as long as it's appropriate).  ;)

Yours Truly, Alizarin


Enough with the ranting, let's talk about unique character names. Do you have any character names that are made up, of another language, or spelled another way? What kind of names have you come up with your characters?  :D

Game Discussion / Re: The Craziest thing YOU have done!
« on: October 02, 2012, 03:49:06 pm »
The craziest thing I have ever done in a FH roleplay was... bringing a rabbit that was scared to death back to life, by shocking his heart with an electric eel.

Wolf: This rabbit is dead now -.-
Kopper Fox (me): What to do?... what to do?... *thinks* I know! I'll shock him back to life! :D
Wolf: <_<
Rabbit: o.O)
Kopper Fox: -Goes down to the water to get an electric eel and brings it back. Puts the eel on the rabbit's chest- CLEAR! -Eel shocks the rabbit-
Rabbit: -Arms flail-

How did you come up with your username?

Well.... The name "Alizarin" is the name of a very specific shade of red. In my painting class, one of the colors we were required to have was Crimson Alizarin. And I thought, "Gee, that's a nice name for a color." So I decided that my username would have "Alizarin" in it. I added the "Lady" infront of it to make it all nice and fancy ^u^ .... and that's how I got the username of Lady Alizarin.

Alizarin, for taking the time to do that research and posting this up here, chu deserve a Nuzzle. XD

Of course, I never doubted that foxes do not belong to the same family as a lion. Look at their tail, their facial features, their sounds, their spoors etc... Nowhere near a feline.
But for those that think otherwise, I'm sure they should find this post very useful.

Thank you, Raphilion. I never doubted it either; I've always saw them as being like little dogs.... which they really are. XD

Cheetahs, unlike other felines, are unable to sheathe their claws. Foxes are able to sheathe and sheathe their claws unlike other canines. As far as I remember at least.

I know for a fact that grey foxes can use their claws to climb up trees, I don't know if they can retract them. If other foxes can do that too, then I did not know they could.  I'm not really an expert on foxes at all, I just like to do some research on animals.

Discussion Board / A Common Question About the Fox
« on: September 06, 2012, 11:16:47 pm »
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I had to post it somewhere.

Lately in FeralHeart, some people around me have been asking me or some of my friends if the fox is really a canine or something else. Some people have told me that it is more realted to the cat instead of the dog. When I was in my fox RP, some warrior cats were around us and a random wolf came up and said "Why do you cats and foxes even fight? Don't you know that you are both related to each other?" Then the whole thing turned into a big argument on what family the fox belonged to.
If you are wondering the same thing, I do have an answer all based on research.

Fox
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Canidae
Genus: Vulpes
Species: V. Vulpes

*Compared to other canines

Grey Wolf
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata  
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Canidae
Genus: Canis
Species: Canis lupus

Coyote
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Canidae
Genus: Canis
Species: Canis latrans


The fox is infact a member of the CANINE family. The only thing that makes it different from other canines is their genus and species. It has the body type of a canine, can bark, howl, yip, and act like other canines do. Nevertheless, it has a few different characteristics and behaviors. Some of thier behavior is very cat-like (pouncing, playing, and cat-like energy), which may be the reason why some people may question what their family is. Just because it acts different from other members in the canine family, does not mean it is not a canine.

Let me put it to you this way..... Foxes are different from dogs like rats are different from squirrels. We all know that rats and squirrels both belong to the rodent family, even though they both live different lifestyles and have very different behaviors. It's the same thing with lemurs and monkeys; they both belong to the primate family, but have differences in physical apperance and in their gene pools.

I hope this answers your question and clears things up if you were wondering.
