but you would see your character misrepresented. And you would find yourself playing a character you might really hate. And fights would probably break out all over.

I still don't see how that is bad, that seems very pessimistic. Plus, it's something new (not actually new but it'd be new to most people here) and out-there. Let's be honest, no matter how hard you try, any character you make is probably going to be 'you, but different', whether that 'difference' is them being cooler or just having the opposite type of genitals.

Why play a character you made based off of yourself, when you can play a character someone else made, which they based off of themselves? It'd be such an interesting thing to explore. Especially if they're a 'type' of character that you never played before.

Plus, if it was deemed necessary, after everyone made their CS and showed it you could just ask people who and who they don't like, make specific sub groups, and THEN 'roll the dice'.

that is actually innacurate. Yes, every character will have some segment of oneself, but what amount that is depends on your character making process. My own, I can give as an example, has had me make characters so opposing to my own nature I even found myself disgusted by some attitudes they took on occasion.

Well, I can't argue with that, but I still think doing this sort of shit would be dank as fuck

by all means, do try and tell me how it went

what's a fourth wall?

it´s hard to explain but to try to put it simply, a fourth wall is when a character becomes aware of the fact they are on a story or points out elements that are merely descriptive for the medium

The term originates from theater, when a stage usually had three walls. The 'fourth wall' is the imaginary wall that seperates the stage from the audience; when the stage interacts with the audience directly, they 'broke through the fourth wall'.

yeah, but there are other instances of it, that don´t require a direct contact with the audience, Windsock

can you put it in an example?

Count Gensokyo thnx

Idea my next question is what do you mean by one person breaks the wall and the other person would do it normally? You mean that if a person were to role-play then one of the people controlling the character will make them say something in a fourth wall?

more like, one player would write a normal roleplay post, then the other would basically write the character being aware of the post and possibly doing things differenly or outright refusing to do what the other post says or something

*giggles*
Character(Player1)- *I shockingly unsheathe my sword still looking down at the sleeping man and hold it up about to deliver the strike to end this poor man's life*
Character(Player2)- Uh, no. I don't think I want to take someone's life. You got the wrong character. Why in the world did I evens sign up for this job? Deuces. *leaves rp*
