That said, I've always wanted to play the SCUMMIEST, most DISGUSTING, TWO-FACED, CHAOTIC EVIL snake to ever exist in an rp. Unrepentantly evil, self-serving, and just slimy in general, the character is a walking, talking slimeball that makes everyone uncomfortable by just existing in the...
I do not wholly despise the idea of pigeonholing yourself to certain types of characters, but I think that not stretching out of your boundaries is a bad practice in general. You CAN have a certain type that you really enjoy to play, but it really limits the reach of what you can do somewhat...
Aye, but unless it wasn't submitted through PM, it is a big no-no on my end since they can easily just bullshit their way through anything. An open-ended backstory basically means that the character can be anything between a Miss Universe winner to the most bestest ninja samurai robot of all...
1) What is justice to you?
Performing the righteous deed, but with good intentions and within reason. E.g. Punish a man who was caught stealing, but alleviate the sentence a little if he had (assertable and unshakably) good reason to do so, such as having no money to feed his family.
2) What is...
A blatant copy of an existing character from an official media with none of their redeeming qualities is my favourite thing to see in an rp. It brings so much to the table, ain't that right, folks?
Your mileage may vary on this, i think. Mayfly-December romances are pretty okay in my book, unless one half of the party is under the legal age of consent. Immortals are, after all, still allowed to love, are they not?

These traits of adults acting like children, and children acting not like children have been around for a bit. It really doesn't irk me at the very least, unless...
Keep up that backhanding of my choice of words, amigo.
It's not 'competitive nature', friend, that I'm irked about, it's purely balance, pal, of the rp. There's an issue if every other applicant to the rp is a charismatic Adonis with Herculean strength, and genius intellect that would rival...
A character in a story written by one author being a fuckall powerful being is in a different ballpark of criticism than a fuckall powerful being character in an rp with multiple players.
Just wanna pitch that curve ball there.
Lemme copypaste something from some WoW Rper:
"You can create incredibly diverse and unique characters without having to hammer in 'unique' ideas like this. The best characters I've ever RPed with have been a standard human rogue, an unremarkable worker at the Darkmoone Faire, and and Night...
On the other hand, it's a sure sign of a slightly skewed GM if you and a bunch of other pals have already made a bunch of balanced characters, like for instance, A is a super strong combatant, but lacks in interaction with people, and B is a healer support with good communication skills, but...
I cannot understate how much I agree with this. There are even worse where they take a character from a lesser known anime/game/media, and try to copy paste that, in hopes that no one will notice. I remember someone taking a character from a Fire Emblem game that wasn't TOO popular, making a...
THAT IS, if their player doesnt throw a shit fit, or bullshits his way through, like "oh but he's a badass, see, he's a trained killer he knows how to kill mobs with his bare hands."
At which point, people really should just quit.
A gentle reminder that zombie rps attract the worst kind of crowds who think that muh eastern swords can cut through bone cleanly, and that swords of any kind aren't a weight and a half to bear.
Edgy, tall, dark, muscular, ex-military badass wannabe characters. Ultimately, you can only expect one kind of post from players who play this kind of characters: their characters flexing their muscles and beating up mobs of NPCs, and NEVER LOSING because they're 'badass'. That's not human...
There's this, and then after a set amount of posts, they complain that no one is interacting with their characters, which is only just another nail in a nail-ridden coffin.
