Ill throw my idea under a spoiler, and note I haven't fleshed it our as much as I wanted, and im not even sure it would fundamentally fix the issues with Lampar as that depends on people not just, acting like they are still as they were, which bad RPers would still, but I had worked out an idea to fix Lampar some. Quoted from what I was pitching people in Skype for feedback on it:
[SPOILER="Bleh Unformatted or Cleaned up Idea "]To dump what I have worked out so far for my "Revised Lampar" pitch: I'm wanting to move them from Evokkar to originating in Daen, near the cielothar areas. Giving them stronger ties to Cielothar in general. Making them social dependents, meaning they get depressed/anxious when away from their friend circles too long. Their driven to form small, close knit friend circles for safety, due to their diminutive size and strength. They are bellow-Ailor intelligence on average but not by too much, attention span issues removed. And, because they have relatively short life spans, their evolution is more sped up than other races (besides Maiar), so their 'flavors' or subtypes are based on location of origin (since they have traveled and spread the last few hundred years). So, brown hair darker skin in forested areas, burnt orange, sandy colored hair and darker skin in desert areas, light gray in the north, etc. HIGH flight instincts, so if in a situation that looks dangerous at all, always run. Ditch.
Basically they go from annoying, talking to everyone and everything, to being more focused on their smaller friend circles, of like 5-8 people. Keeping the friend group happy and functional etc. They would also be REALLY good listeners, even if they don't understand anything your saying, they can make it seem as if all their focus in on what you are saying. Shit at advice though because obviously they are still a little dumb, but good to vent to type in general. So more of a social-niche with cutsie on the side as a thing because their appearance rather than obnoxious actions. [/SPOILER]
I doubt my 'pitch' will make much difference for their fate as it seems the decission is made, but I figured, why waste a week of thought and talk, when I can at least throw it here. I like the general concept of Lampar, so I really wanted to try to find a solution. This, was the best I came up with without removing cutsie rp options or making them generic halflings.
