The Character Development Threads are a series of roleplaying threads that can be found in the Writer's Block section of TvTropes. Intended as a shared story and a writing exercise, tropers can write a character in and develop them through a Story Arc. These threads have become a tradition, since borrowed from NaNoWriMo. Although some of the earliest threads such as Bar, Nightclub, and Picnic have been sadly lost forever in the archive purges, most of them can still be read deep in the depths of the Writer's Block thread list.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There are two main 'styles' of thread: 'serious', 'non-casual', or 'main series'; and 'casual', which each carry their own quirks, benefits, and drawbacks. In 'serious' threads, combat is allowed and characters can fight to maim or kill, whereas in 'casual' threads, violence is generally not allowed and may even be physically impossible.The discussion thread for the CDT threads in general can be found here. |

Anyone Can Die: Troper characters aren't immune from deaths, though declaring that another troper's character died from one of your own's attacks is generally frowned upon. |

Recursive Reality: Dr. Isaac Rose is a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Izeri and Qal are actually from that 'verse. The spirits that directed Izeri and Qal to the Resort, Isaac's friend Alice (who knows what's up but is already too insane to be perturbed by the implications), and reality itself are all working to keep them well separated to avoid any messy results. |

Death Is Cheap |
| | Character Development Thread (Roleplay) / int_37fcf16 |
comment |
Death Is Cheap: Though characters can certainly be Killed Off for Real, this status only lasts for the duration of the thread. Characters who have been killed in past threads are completely free to return in later threads whole with possibly little more than some sour memories and feelings regarding their murderers. |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall |
| | Character Development Thread (Roleplay) / int_4a3e547f |
comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Several characters throughout the threads have openly mused and/or wondered about the nature of the settings that appear in the threads as well as the more classic questions of their own fictionality: Carnival had some characters outright questioning whether or not they're fictional. University had two characters discuss the way previously-described parts of the setting do not appear to have been created by someone who's visited an actual university. Archipelago had Vince- in his tenth thread appearance -actually call the archipelago itself a setting due to how parts of CDT settings can sometimes seem to exist in a vacuum or without permanence, only to then presume that the alternate universe-creating aliens that he studies are behind the 'settings'' existence. |

Genre Roulette |
| | Character Development Thread (Roleplay) / int_4b1ca7d2 |
comment |
Genre Roulette: The genre of each thread can vary quite a lot, to say the least, and even within a single thread. Casual threads tend to be more relaxed, while the non-casual threads have featured Closed Circle mysteries, adventures, puzzles, and so on. But no thread, regardless of style or genre, has ever been in particularly short supply of interpersonal drama. |

comment |
Closed Circle: Castle takes place in an Island Base surrounded by a tropical storm. Hotel and Bar had intense snowstorms. Carnival takes place in the middle of a thunderstorm 30 miles away from the nearest city. Nightclub seems to have this at first, only for the cast to adventure out to the end of the city, into the depths of the ocean, to Rapture. The trope has become less popular in more recent threads, as it can make it difficult for writers if they have to leave. |

comment |
Webcomic Time: An average thread pre-2014 tended to last for around six weeks while usually only spanning twelve hours of in-story time. Many threads from 2014 onward have begun to drift towards more extremes- due to several active writers at the time transitioning from high school to college -lasting for months of meatspace time and 48 hours or less of in-story time. This has resulted in characters becoming way too-close friends over a single conversation, a conversation that might have taken several weeks for the writers involved to write. |

Crossover: Inherent to the concept, of characters from Tropers' works-in-progress showing up in the same place to interact. |

Talking Is a Free Action: Unless enforced otherwise, usually in the form of the writer adding an OOC comment along the lines of, "By the way, you can interrupt him/her/them whenever you want." |
