Why are Charoda so unpopular?

[Acanthus]

There are only two threads in Charbosi. Why is this? Why are the Charoda so unpopular? They were actually my first choice when I came to this site until I saw that there would be like zero role-playing opportunities with them since no one else played them. Is it because they're peaceful? Is it because there's actually a lot of people interested in them but they all see how inactive Charbosi is and decide against playing a Charoda? What is it? And how can we fix it?

Well in my opinion its most likely because their city isn't written up yet and the fact that they are a water species and thus fairly rare to find on land kinda hampers the places you can RP on with them.

Not much else that we can do about except wait till a AS get assigned to the suvan sea and he begins building it up.

The reasons I see are:

1: Charbosi is closed and undeveloped.
2: they are peaceful race
3: hard to find an avatar
4: ugly

I personally like the charoda, and would love to see more of them, and I'm making a location in Spires that they can take advantage of.

Ah...the fact that Charbosi is undeveloped explains a lot. Well, in the meantime, I'm just going to create a Charoda character and find any RP with him that I can. Also, I don't think they're that ugly. And as for finding an avatar, I created a pretty accurate Charoda with my favorite avatar-generator, Hero Machine.

I think all of you are wrong.

Once upon a time the Konti weren't popular. Once upon a time neither were the Akalak or the Drykas or the Dhani or the Symenestra.

Then, someone came along who was a fabulous rper and everyone wanted to be like them. Suddenly their popularity exploded, people volunteered to mod in their areas, and now they are well covered in the game.

The same will happen with the Charoda. Just give them time and the right players coming along.

So, in answer to my question about how we can fix it, the answer is all we have to do is create Charoda and be amazing RPers.

In propose that, (provided it can be done in a way that doesn't interfere with the acceptable level of technology in Mizahar) there be a SCOBA* suit developed for the Charoda.

*Self Contained Over-water Breathing Apparatus

I think allowing them onto land would ruin some of their charm. The reason I like them so much is that they're an entire civilization entirely under water! It's very...exotic? Intriguing? I dunno, that's just what I think.

They are able to travel on land for short periods of time.

[Acanthus]

I know, but I mean allowing them to travel on land for an indefinite period of time using some breathing apparatus. Besides I don't think it would really work anyway since Charoda breathe through their skin.
