User blog:Sonofapollo/Adult Characters

Okay, so, before we start, this is gonna be a rant blog, but I request you read it in full, and do take in the information.

Now, as you all know, adult characters are fun and awesome and brilliant etc etc, but, I've (and hopefully other admins have) noticed that we have way too many redundant adult characters. See, there are Professors, shop owners, writers, ministry workers, etc, etc; and that's great, it makes the wiki more dynamic from a RP point of view. But we've got to a stage where we have Adult characters, who look great and interesting, but they're of no help to the RP. Most of you are probabbly thinking "haha, that's rich, coming from SoA, who has like 23456000 adult characters" but in my defence, I've got almost (if not) all of my adults jobs which they are currently doing, very few of whom are redundant. To prove it; here's a list: Now, I know most of you are thinking "''what's the point of this?" but, I've noticed this happening: people make adult chars who have jobs, eg writers, but they 'don't write books. '''They're 'famous', yet they've got no works. I've got Regina, who's writing the biography for Einar Faris; doing her job. Then I see things like singers who don't hold gigs or concerts (Look at Lisa Green's concerts, that is her doing her job) or waitors who don't actually belong to any of the restaraunts we have, which is actually quite anoying as we have characters who aren't really being used.

Please, find them a job before making them, or if they're in Hogwarts, plan ahead, and secure some placements for when they graduate. Some possible places are the Ministry, who always have vacancies, or St Mungo's, who have no  healers at the moment.

I know this sounds like one big rant, which it is, I suppose, but we need something to happen. Don't randomly make loads of characters who you're obviously not going to use. Don't make an author if you're not writing a book. Don't make singers if they don't hold gigs.

Thanks for reading,
