Development of an Amnesiac

For Trilogee's "real" stuff, peek at Trilogee here.

This is more a spot for me to ramble senselessly about what Trilogee is up to, how she's developed, and people to share a couple viewpoints on it. After all, what else is Tril about?

She started as a vague concept. She was much different in the beginning, and considerably less intelligent. A serious ditz with some serious problems, and little beyond that. I got a few weeks of her in, then I lost internet access for several months. Trilogee was pretty much asleep during that time, and I did some doodling and some writing. It's amazing what kinds of changes will happen when your character writing skills develop.

Trilogee grew up. She retained childlike knowlege, but managed to get an older wisdom (though some will disagree with that). She doesn't know how she got the things she knows, she just knows them and doesn't question it overmuch. I'm sure this is a good development.

Playing Trilogee is like writing an experimental film. Her life is lived in abstract, and she remembers the lessons of yesterday, but most of the details are lost on her completely. It's easier getting the point across to yourself than to anybody else, trust me. Writing a film about someone with her mentality would be near-impossible, as the audience would remember what happened, or perhaps even guess what happened.

I still have to figure out how in living Gord she managed to get into the Mess, though.

Comments?

It's hard to find the balance with Very Happy characters coming from the not-so-happy real world. Charlotte-Sophia, for instance, oscillates between being a dumb blonde under the completely obvious control of a robot, and being a very intelligent woman who's had an interesting life-change thrust upon her, and found she enjoys her new self more.

Who cares how any character got into the Mess? Maybe they were made there. Maybe Puzzlebox just extrudes creatures with a mysterious lack of past now and then. As a sort of art project. -Twin

"Another fine Mess we've got ourselves into." Maybe Trilogee is dreaming. Maybe Trilogee only exists on the Mess, being a creation of the social and mental fields of the inhabitants. Maybe Trilogee has always been here, but peeled off a wall in Bottom when the Ontic words were read by Charlie. Maybe Trilogee is an interference pattern of probabilities caused by the Seeramic sculpture. Retcons are key, here; you might just surprise yourself, months or even years down the road when you 'find' out things about Trilogee. Ride the waves and see where they take you. -Zoe

Retconning can be marvellous. The truth about Grace has subtly and not so subtly shifted from when I first arrived onto the MUCK. Like Zoe said, you'll eventually learn things, and they might not be what you expected. -Grace
