I try to be open minded about story ideas, to an extent. There are lines that I won't cross but it's gotta be something really fucked up. Like... REALLY! FUCKED UP! Shit that if you actually witnessed or encountered it, you might feel somewhat, mentally scarred afterwards. Stuff that makes you wonder what the writer does, when they aren't rping and if you haven't been talking to some kind of potential, real life, serial killer? See? So that's an intense level, right there. Which thankfully doesn't go down here.

I'm also not a huge fan of pre-determined matches, done for the story aspect or angling. What I like better is random attacks (in ring during a match or wherever, is fine by me) to work off of and build upon.

I'll go along with whatever the character might be too, obviously I have no opposition against strange or unusual stuff but really it could be anything. Whether you're controlling bigfoot, twin demogorgons, a super-realistic, former UFC champion or just a dude working in a barber shop, it's all the same in my book. If you can be creative, capture attention and keep my interest, then I'm all for whatever you want to be in this make-believe land of wrestling. I'll go along with the character regardless but I'm just saying... if you can write the story aspect creatively, it will inspire me to read it and therefore, go that extra mile or take an added step to include everything. When it comes to thoughts and opinions, based on the wrestler and how he/she carries him/herself, through life.

I know Zane's character comes off as very far-fetched but there are ways that I do try to keep him grounded, in the sense that I attempt to write as though, it is a zombie striving to survive and get by in the real world. The issues, drama and internal struggles that he might face; day-to-day, if he wanted to exist as a part of society and not get hauled off by the government and experimented on by a team of scientists. Or hunted down and killed by anyone. He wants to fit in and wishes he could be normal but there's things he must do and endure that prevents that sometimes. Still he tries. And I truly think, he has had quite a bit of character growth, during his time in the XWF.

Also, the rather unrealistic, supernatural qualities and abilities that he does possess, have occurred within fights and segments. Although truthfully, I probably could send in more segments, I don't really do that as often as I should. Anyhow, from his debut match, to now, there have been multiple occurrences, speckled throughout his career. So him being a zombie isn't something that is solely featured, within his rps. But it still seems to be a "go-to" to say he's relying on make up and special effects. Or he's lying... or crazy, basically anything to denounce his legitimacy.

After all this time too, lol. And so much "in show" evidence. Still, to this day, it happens. For me, from my own, personal perspective, I think it's kinda funny. When I come across it, I don't roll my eyes, get offended or become annoyed, I laugh.

I do respect everyone's opinions in regards to this topic, so I hope that doesn't offend cause that was not my intentions, at all. Just thought I'd share, since Zane was used as an example. So maybe you all can see things from my point of view and hopefully understand the character and how I do things, a tad better.
