To be honest, Ed's the first character I've done for an extended period of time... previous online* RP experiences included some OC/AU characters where I did have to draw all their icons, though, and even with ones (like Ed) where there's tons of icons available I've always just made my own anyway.** (And, should I ever finish the app, I did find a source of Haibane Renmei screenshots I can use to do icons for Rakka, though it's likely I won't go all-out and recolor them the way I do for Ed.)

What were some surprises you had in Akin's heart game? (I read through it all this morning XD)


* ...Well, Journal RP anyway, I also did some PBEM gaming in the past which was 100% text, no icons at all. And I tended to draw or get art for my D&D characters, mostly because it was kind of fun, not for any requirement of the game.

** Including at least one I did draw myself, and a couple I commissioned.
