Wow this is... hard? I don't really think about this. It REALLY depends on the s
Prowl: - For my initial getting into character at the beginning I just watched a LOT of TF:A. And then later a LOT of Fistful of Energon, Five Servos of Doom, and Endgame: Part II (bawwww). - In general? Breathe. Deep long yoga breaths, slowly. I've sometimes even DONE yoga. Go for a walk. - Go "What would Buddha do? If Buddha were also a ninja and a motorcycle." If this is young Prowl, ask "What would my brother do, if he were a ninja motorcycle?" - Read TF Wiki a lot. - Read zen koans.
Vexen - Listen to Weird Science by Oingo Bingo. - Try to get as cranky as possible. Take everything extremely personally. - Say things in my Vexen voice. - Read articles about biology on Wiki. - Drink iced coffee. Really.
Aaron - I really have to re-think my process for him becuase I feel like I've been losing his original voice; his original self was actually a rule breaking doof, but he doesn't take kindly to people breaking HIS rules...? And both he and I have been exhausted lately. - ... post as myself, if I were an arrogant, self-centered kleptomaniac...?
Mare - Every post, try to figure out how to express something without SAYING it. If all else fails, write it in text, but be as LAZY AS POSSIBLE with the text. - Think like I did in high school, only with a bit more zen temperament instead of my grumpiness. - Be deathly afraid of getting angry. Due to chardev, this is less important.
Cyrus - Is a lot more concrete than Aaron or Mare - I listen to Enya, Azam Ali, the Album Leaf, and other weird hippie surreal music. - Read religious texts, riddles, and zen koans. - Get myself into a really weird state of mind, sort of halfway between sleeping and waking. Think about everything at an angle. Try to say everything as cryptically as possible.
In general I try to think about motivation; what does my character want in this situation? How is he/she going to get it? Where are they going?
