I've had this weird idea for a while for a character who's somehow been fractured into a bunch of different people with different personalities. The second they touch another person who is a part of them, they absorb that person back into themselves and gain all the person's memories. They...

For some godforsaken reason I just love playing characters who are crafty, conniving little weasels, who are mostly looking out for their own self-interests. There's a surprising amount of depth you can explore into how they became the way they are and how they justify themselves to other...

1. What is your favorite non-traditional relationship in roleplays? I love stories about sisters with a strong bond, or friends who are close enough to be soul sisters a la Thelma and Louise. Kinda get tired of women always competing with each other, being jealous of one another, being catty or...

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet: Make a character whose powers are not a means for them to reach their goals. Or, even better, their powers are an obstacle to them reaching their goals. Take One Punch Man. He works as an incredibly OP character because his goal is to find an opponent...

I need to stop trying to be perfect. That sounds counterintuitive, but bear with me. I have a hard time finishing anything because it's just. Not good enough. So I have to tweak it. And tweak it. And tweak it. And I just never feel like it's good enough to show to the world. And the longer I...

That's the best name I've ever heard.

Well, I have nothing constructive to add, but... Hold on, fuck, does GM really stand for "general manager?" I always thought it stood for "game master" like in tabletop RPs, lol.

As an anecdote, the longest I've taken a break from a 1x1 is six months, lol. But it didn't last long when we came back. Unfortunately, I think the absence made things a bit stale. So, I recommend coming to your partner with some fresh ideas about the RP if you want to revive it. Introduce a...

I think I was 17, and I also started on Gaia Online. It actually played a part in my decision to major in English. I even used some of the stuff I wrote for contests on Gaia in my creative writing classes, lol.

Yeah, the best thing about Zerochan is that the search bar is inuitive. You can specify things like a single person (solo), red hair, male, female, etc.

Pixiv and Zerochan are great if you're looking for an anime faceclaim. I generally use Pinterest to find other faceclaims. Try the character inspiration, characters, OC, and OC art tags.

One that hasn't been mentioned yet is the obligatory amnesiac. 9 times out of ten, it's used as a lazy shorthand so that a character can appear ~mysterious~ or so that the player doesn't have to come up with a backstory. If your character must have amnesia, it's as simple as having your...

I don't really look for length. There are two important criteria I like to see in each post, and as long as they're achieved well, length usually isn't even an issue. The first has already been mentioned. The post should move the plot forward in some way, big or small. Even if it's just a...

Going with a trope: I love playing mad scientist characters. They're eccentric, they're passionate and not afraid to show it...there's a strong possibility they're morally bankrupt. They're just loveable. Plus they can invent stuff for other characters to use or make a death ray or whatever...

If you've ever taken a fiction writing class, you've probably gotten the advice that if you want to know how people behave, watch 'em and take detailed notes. So, it's easy to just modify that advice to be specifically about men. If you want to know how to write men, watch men. Watch a lot of...

Well, since every person is an individual you have a lot of leeway, but just in general to give you a starting off point: Happy-go-lucky characters tend to visualize the best possible scenario in any situation. So think positively. What's the best thing that can happen? What good can come out...

I haven't managed a ton of RPs, but at least one felt like a success, so fuck it, I'm qualified. : P Okay, so first off, are you in any group RPs or have you been in a few of them, at least? If you haven't, I would start there. Get the feel of group RPs by seeing how other people GM. If you...

I used to mostly write characters in their early 20s when I was a teenager, but now that I'm in my mid-20s I write mostly characters in their late 20s and teenagers. I dunno. It's weird.

One of the few fandoms I really want to do is a 1x1 based on Parasyte: The Maxim, maybe set sometime after the events in the manga. And I'd really like one of us to play a parasite and the other the person it's attached to. I don't know if this is just too weird to be up anyone's alley...

Immediate issue: White on sky blue is really difficult to read! I'd go for black or dark blue text.
