A Post a Day, #9

Today I spent a good chuck of time working on some prep work for NaNoWriMo. After that I went to the store with one of my roommates, she ended up getting a larger lizard tank for one of her geckos and I got myself a new fish tank. I love fish, and soon I will be experimenting with making a working pond system~

In my NaNo story, I'm working with a bit of fantasy. My character is part of a family tribe that has hereditary paranormal abilities. I made a small system for how the genes work with the powers showing up, and I made a bunch of characters through random number generators and a few small systems I made. I ended up with over twenty characters, and I randomly assigned them meyer briggs types to start a framework for who my characters actually are. I had fun doing it, and I had fun looking at tanks at the store.

My roommate commented on how I approach making characters though. She noted that I make a world first, and use the world to forge out my characters. Also, that she does the opposite, where she starts with a character and then builds a world around them that make sense with how she wants her character to be. We both use MBTI to give ourselves and idea of how the characters are going to approach situations, and I imagine that a bit of RPing might be being done in the next few weeks to better understand some of the types that I'm not too familiar with (or the types my roommates aren't too familiar with).

Out of the four of us who are sharing the apartment, our types are: ISTP (myself), INFJ, INFP and ISFJ~

Anyway, that's all I have for today, a nice short post without too much thought, or anything in it actually. If you would like to confirm your existence to me, and you happen to know about MBTI, you should comment with what your typing is~
