What An AWFUL RP Style You Have~ Empty What An AWFUL RP Style You Have~

Post by Soiuku Sun Apr 03, 2011 4:31 am

FOREWORD EDIT: Since people seem to think I'm being rude or mean in this topic or attacking the characters they make/have made, and I want to dispel these thoughts since that is not my intention. My point is asking about why people don't make more unique/different characters. Another point I want to clarify is that I didn't and still don't intend for this to come off as superior, condescending, rude, mean or otherwise.Sorry for any confusion on this matter; I was just trying to ask quesions about character development~

I know we've all thought about this at one point or I have encountered on other sites people who it's very difficult to rp with, and people who are afraid to break away from the standard rubric set for a character's personality, style, appearance and whatnot; this is clearly evidenced by seeing mysterious/aloof/tired with life character/distressed characters who gave a short blurb about WHY; and when you try to rp it out you get nadda' to complement it and a refusal to admit if there is something wrong even when it's blatantly obvious. I don't run into these problems here, which is why I keep coming back, but I do see the rubric remaining unbroken, or with people who seem to only be good at making one type of character, or characters with back-story plotholes that I wouldn't mind seeing filled. If you'll notice; heavily tattooed characters or characters with tatooes aren't all that common on here, plus a lack of scarred characters, nor are characters with driving forces that truly motivate them for reasons beyond just joining, or reaching the top; one of my characters wishes to prove herself to her father, another believes she is walking a divine path, and another solely follows her sister; and Terry, as revealed in an rp fight to honor the memory of his dead brother who he truly loves; even in death!~

People on here are far more liberal and open with their characters but yet I feel that lots of people are afraid to take risks in designing characters; making them stick out, and only a few people actually do; some expansion on their characters beyond simple details in RP's and a backstory on the profile. While I like to make my characters more elaborate and outrageous; I like to add more to them and I plan on doing an overhaul as I mass edit/fix my characters and even add on to the list with more characters; but I must ask: are you really afraid to take risks on your character design and what you feel would be nice & pleasant or mean & swarthy?~

Another question I have is this; when posting or doing a collaberation on work do you like to try and drop cues to guide it? I admit that I do, but I usually catch a go with the flow feeling from people or a this is my house feel. In other words, matches and rp's have ways of the users working together but usually; I end up feeling people in rp's in general trying to avoid the happy medium for them to instead dominate the rp or leave you in charge as you work out the story. Believe it or not; I'm actually a fairly competent writer in my own respects; even been offered a deal for ananthology of short stories I did, which I had to turn down due to circumstances at the time; I even do collab work with people anonymously for fun, and while I have found my happy medium with those people and others I often times feel like the happy medium people simply aren't around anymore;a distant and fading memory.~

In my works, one of my characters is a detective who is on the run from the law since he tried to take his son from his wife who he pulled a gun on before Police arrived and he sped off in his truck with his dog named Wolf because he simply can't deal with his wife, and his kid forgets him more and more. While on the run a magical Grand Grimoire starts following him as he reads it and tries to avoid the magical situations for obvious reasons before finding out along the way that it has dire consequences such as when his son is destroyed as a young adult in an inferno by a demon which he absorbs in his rage; due to his nature and he starts to weep as he finds a disintegrating picture of him before a ghost of a girl gets trapped in his body, dead from the fire, serving as a comedic relief. Later on he attempts to stop these occurences and battles a phoenix to absorb it and use it's ability to kill himself and revive his son who is actually being held alive in a block of ice by an ice demon gangster who runs an insurance firm which insures supernatural creatures everywhere. This leads him to question his friendship with the ghost and if he is willing to help her and leave his son and his family alone ~

Sre what I mean as in story and how people work with or around it? And what about risks? Where are they nowadays?~

Post by Bluemouse Sun Apr 03, 2011 8:49 pm

The thing that stuck out to me first reading this is that you point out that there are no heavily tattooed or scarred characters (I don't know if we have any artists on the forum, but most of us I think pull art from elsewhere to use, and heavily tattooed girls aren't prevalent in anime culture, at least to my limited experience). And then in the same sentence you're talking about motivation... is there a connection to tattoos and character depth that I'm missing? I mean I've noticed that not a lot of characters here wear hats with fruit on them. Ya know. I'm also not too sure what risks we're talking about here.

Not to be a jerk, but I don't know what purpose you see this thread as serving. You spend time talking about how no one else can rp, while mentioning how good of a writer you are and how you would be published right now but something came up. Man. Rough.

Well I hope I'm not someone who's writing and characters you hate, though I wouldn't guess that you've read anything from me. And if this forum and the people here aren't a good fit for you, then I hope you can find a place that is. The internet is big enough for all of us, even if we all suck.

Tattoes and scars represent important or at the very least a painful moment in the said characters life. Besides that matter, people like to try and fit in with their characters rather than imagining greater because they fear that if the character is too abnormal or different then less people will want to RP with them.~

The purpose is to discus the things that define our character creation process, and the things that prevent us from breaking the rubric for character traits and such. Please show me where I said that I'm better than everyone, will you now? I am not great but I know that my skills as a solo writer are decent enough; which I used to point out in a condensed and incomplete story piece how I like to take a character and create an elaborate yet emotional and realistic character in some sense. Also, I already acknowledged that there are good authors/writers on here ; to add to that I didn't say that anyone on here sucks since all people have there own merits~

Okay then, I said clearly in the start of my writing above was that I like this site and the open minded people keep me coming back. I feel much more at home here than every other RP site in fact, so you lost me on that one.~ :" T

Babel Gilles de Rais EASILY my most bizarre character is someone that people like a lot so I don't really see what you mean there.

I have Lu Jiao Jocelyn who is tattooed from head to toe and she is one of my most requested. All her tattoos are there for a reason and well explained.

I go to great lengths to not only explain why someone is the way they are but how they ended up in AFW.

I've never had a problem finding matches or rps and no one has ever not wanted to rp with one of my characters cause they were weird. It's all about making them come across as interesting. Even someone who is very plain can be interesting if RP'd correctly.

I don't think a lot of people even realize that they can get pretty creative. It's not out of fear of not getting rp'd circus freak shows don't show off a bunch of WASPS now do they? So i don't really see the correlation between outlandish and unplayable. in fact I think it would be the opposite. Usually the more out there the character the more interested people are in at least seeing what they will be like.

Usually the more out there the character the more interested people are in at least seeing what they will be like.

People prefer normal or comfortable; they fear unknown and different as history dictates through numerous encounters with other races of people and such. My topics point is to point out that the majority of people are hesitant/afraid to make truly unique/different characters. Creativity in a character makes people like them but the more different and odd the less people are sure they like such a character; quirks are the minor things that make them stand out and be thought of as neat whereas too odd and out there makes people unable to relate and thus less people are cpmfortable with them. Being different only helps you so much until it eventually becomes an overload; tattoes are more accepted and are viewed as sexy on many woman by men /women so it's no surprise. When you add that there aren't a whole lot it increases the allure. Also, I've already said there are good RP'ers are cool/unique characters made by people but still, I prefer to avoid namedropping~
