When I say it is.

I have a dozen or so good ones I know from generally sci-fi and fantasy that people rarely if ever bring up or use anymore in RP or writing. Mazers - lasers but instead of photons and the visible spectrum, it's microwaved, these are real, invisible focused rays of microwaves which fry the...

pacifism has many forms and many levels, though I'd say at its core it's weak, it flies in the face of many great thinkers and people wiser than us, to be a pacifist you must depart Shakespeare, Socrates and Plato, Albert Einstien (who claimed pacifism but dropped it in the face of Nazi...

yeah then we'd agree for the most part on characters (though I've seen both cap and supes done very poorly, though generally handled well and of course which universe you're talking about changes the context greatly, but on average my point about those characters stands) nor did I say perfection...

How would you place characters like Captain America and Superman? they are morally perfect, attractive, special to insane degrees, perfect or nearly perfect leaders, everyone for the most part respects or adores them, their life is littered with tragedy, in the context of their stories they are...

Then OP characters are not the issue then, they are symptomatic casualties of your lack of trust as well, people's poor mishandling of them, I don't engage in much open roleplay, I tend to be a bit selective nowadays, so perhaps that filter has prevented the flaws from being exacerbated for me.

Interesting what you choose to agree with and what not, I deleted my post for the sexuality part as I suspected it would spure pointless arguments of me being a bigot or something. I think your disagreement on OP characters was more my point, they are powerful, in that relation of their power...

shy butterfly OCs, no inspiration or character, mary sues to sit up there but these are so strawman and uncommon these days, which is good. personally I find it the mark of a good RPer or writer if they can get me to hate a character, being apathetic or uninterested in a character, is worse to...

What I mean by this, is, what is the three characters of your universe that would pretty much be its mascots. (In your OC Universe.) Is it because of what a formidable trio they make in combat? because they represent in part the best aspects of morality or human? are they simply the most...

calls it posh. but thinks its "absolutely disgusting." and ghosts people on that merit, yeah I don't think you have a place in calling people elitist.

Wanted to get some general opinions on what people thought of posting music to go along with a written scene, this more applies to longer winded RPs but still.

As for characters traits that people male or twisted/fake/perverted archetypes I hate. Mary Sues are an easy one to rag on, but I've noticed they are becoming phased out more another more toxic shit show of an archetype. Shy butterfly types that are "misunderstood" and "unstable" even though...

or you don't get the reason why someone would do a trickster that which is more a show of your shortsightedness rather than their dickishness. no! its not like trickster's are a cultural archetype found from Asian to Western culture and myth or anything... like its one thing to say you don't...

Personality and character motive notwithstanding... The hardest part by far, (but also the most fun) is making powers which are believable and work by some kinda ruleset, Its easy to just say "My character can shoot fireballs out of their hands cause MAGIC" and honestly this is why I lean...

Shy butterfly characters annoy the ever living piss out of me, but dumpster fire edgy OCs who hail from some kinda fandom or Mary Sues also make me take the piss. content wise anything besides sexual stuff I'm fine with, ethical issues are far more interesting to play out than binary good vs...

depends on the character and setting. but after enough changes and tweaks you might have well made a character from scratch.

As much as certain "special groups" would say, something with dramatically biology at least has some core factors from that which shaped their personality, so if you're a dragon cat person from the planet smugo, there personality is shaped in good part from where they lived and what they did.

Yeah I probably subscribe to that method, expect I would not even trying using an OC if I had to alter her/him to the point it wouldn't be that character

This is a pretty small thing to ask but how do you guys go about adding your characters that are OCs and have a defined backstory that might be based in a certain setting, and put them into other RPs and worlds? Do they just hop over from their universe and timeline and are semi-aware? or is...

ever considered you just don't like authority or being told what to do? better to assert standards than get stuck with someone who is garbage, which happens more often than not, so simply scaring off the shy butterflies isn't a bad tactic.
