Your Daring Do is a lot of fun to bounce off of, although if I had to give crit it would probably be this;

Because you play so many characters in so many games, you don't have the focus (you can't with this many) to infuse each incarnation with an engaging personality. Daring is a character with lots of shenanigans potential in a game like GB, full of stuff to discover (and she even has her sidekick Dash to help), but your replies sometimes come off as generic, which isn't a fault of your writing, simply a matter of being stretched too thin.

Unless you're like, Kubo Tite (and even then), you cannot keep track of every individual character's feelings and experiences at each specific game, because that would mean keeping not just each separate muse but multiple versions of some muses, with entirely different memories and feelings and casts. Maybe you've just been too nice to turn down people who ask you to play in another game with them, but you're playing in ten roleplays, Riki, and you just can't develop characters over that many settings.

I can only comment on Daring and Twilight personally, since I haven't played with anyone else you have, but sometimes they feel somewhat restricted to their base canon personality/traits. Dash has been in GB for something like 6 months now, and she's gotten to know a bunch of people here-- I especially loved playing her off characters who would be the most confused by a talking blue pegasus. She's also competitive, which is another angle I can throw at people.

Daring has a ton of potential for CR-- she's basically Pony Lara Croft! I think it would actually add a lot more "life" to your threads with her if you tried to write her in a British voice, even just mentally. Or make her like Indie, or one of the adventurers she's clearly inspired by. You're one of the very few Daring players out there, which gives you more opportunities to make her your own.

anyway tl;dr i really do love chatting with you and playing off of you but i'd love to see you when you're really invested in a game, instead of ten games with each holding a small percentage of your attention and CR.
