Hi-yo, I'm still working out my character's profile at the moment, but one element that keeps occurring to me is the idea that Jay (blah-blah, typical 'Child Prodigy' character in the vein of Zoe, albeit in a more contemporary setting) WAS initially set up for a fairly typical and dry scientific career until a chance encounter with the Doctor... but the question is: which one!? So, since this thread exists, I figured I'd give it a shot and see who might be suggested as the Doctor who helps transition my character from wanting to be a lab shut-in all his life to... well, going into the whole 'scientific adventurer' deal.
My own roleplay style tends towards description focused mostly on the characters and their actions, the setting and environment usually get less work unless directly involved with the scene, or an initial description to set the scene. When it comes to writing, I tend to include little asides, often using parentheses to offer alternative 'thoughts' from the 'narrator' of the post itself. Usually this is an effort at some kind of joke that my character would, himself, be unaware of. Or just random little 'Or so he thought' reminders.
I feel my writing style, also, tends to be rather... blunted. Better suited for quick adventure and moving from one scene to the next. I like to think of it as fast-paced, others might think of it as lacking refined detail-work. Occasionally I delve into my characters' actual thoughts...
But bullet-points... my style is
-Fast
-A little choppy, moving onto new thoughts and ideas rapidly (a bit like literary ADD I suppose)
-Generally light-hearted (except when its time to pull out some DRAMA and make sure its SRS BIZNIZ!)
-Seems suited to an almost pulp-style adventure.

I bring this up because.... well, why not? And now... back to working on my character's actual bio!
