To be honest, Stanley needs resources and allies because right now he's a hippie living in a cave under a bridge (har har) in Central Park. He could be living like a king with proper use of the Thumb, but like I've said, Stanley is stunted in more ways than one. He would just need someone to show him how to use his newfound cash and ~~minions~~ friends.

Yes, Kefka is ridiculous. But I'd say that making someone or something that is already overpowered even more overpowered would be acceptable if the result is bound to be entertaining. >:) And I'd like to jump at the chance to have Stanley do the influencing for once, even if he doesn't realize he's doing it.

It's what happens when you think in terms of "If I do this, what is likely to happen?" rather than "how overpowered is too overpowered?" But things like that are why we have planning posts. :)

And Kefka, he of the ambition and living the hedonist's life, could give him a hand with that! I head canon that Kefka took on a mentor/big brother role with Celes and he's been trying to relive that on the community by giving advice to Celes-like people - so taking in someone with fantastic powers and teaching them how to live in society would be up his alley. We'd also have Kefka's very cynical worldview, where he assumes almost everyone has malice or betrayal up their sleeve, crashing against Stanley's optemistic and loving worldview!

Indeed >8D And he could definitely do a lot of influencing! Especially since he's not intending anything - Kefka hates people purposefully trying to manipulate him, but earnest trust that he can't see any malice at all in? Pfff he has nothing to worry about there, no sir.

Yeah! And so now it can commence! Is there anything else you want to do with Stanley and Kefka?

It takes someone so innocent and optimistic (and great powers, natch) to give Kefka a revelation that he literally did not and could not exist in his world. *zen.jpg* They are great foils for each other, come to think of it.

Delicious irony, Kefka has it. Stanley wouldn't have any clue how to deceive people intentionally, not that it matters since he never tries to be.

All we need is some excuse for the two to meet - and lo and behold, I spy your recent post on the comm. IT WILL BE BY PURE CHANCE THAT THESE TWO DESTINIES ARE FOREVER ALTERED. Also, Stanley's trying to be an interdimensional tourist of sorts; since Greed's mun is on hiatus the plot I have going with him has been stalled. How about at some point Kefka plays tour guide to Stanley? It does not have to be Kefka's native world either.

Yeah! They're on opposite sides of the morality scale, and Kefka's creepy to Stanley's cute. Kefka can show him around his world or a couple others! He knows a few.

What made you interested in playing Stanley? I'm curious!

Stanley was, in a few ways, a very good character to cut your teeth on when roleplaying. Technically, I roleplayed before, but not only had it been years, I was also not someone you could say was much good at it.

Stanley's a simple character who has a surprising amount of agency thanks to his Green Thumb, and with only one movie as canon it is easy to unblind yourself to his story. He's my training wheels, in other words.

That, and I am dead certain that I am the only mun on Dreamwidth who plays ANY character from A Troll In Central Park, let alone its protagonist. I like not being the 22nd Marvel character or tenth Edward Elric, what can I say.

Aha! Coooool. Has he been fun so far? (well, i suppose so if you're still playing him, but hopefully ddd has been a good place!)

I hadn't heard of the movie until I saw Stanley, actually! I did some research this morning on it.

DDD is probably the best place for Stanley, to be honest. And yes, he's been fun. :)

That movie is very obscure.
