one of my favorites would be “summoner” type characters— i have one in particular who wields a cursed blade that slowly corrupts the user into a demonic kind of entity, and ultimately traps their soul in the blade itself, where it can then be summoned by the next host.
in general, though, i...
physically scarred male characters who are seen as more attractive or rugged because of their scars, but i rarely see people do the same with women characters. booooringggg.
or if they do have scars then it’s something minor or very easy to hide, probably on their torso or back so they can just...
and to be honest, i was guilty of this at one point in my life. i just wanted someone to satisfy the plots that i wanted to do, so for their story, i’d kind of just half-ass it, just to keep the ball rolling. this was when i was younger, but still, it made roleplay so unbelievably dull! people...
i understand why doubling can feel tedious, but it’s so deeply engrained into the oc x canon subset of rp that, if you simply cannot bring yourself to double, you’re better off sticking with oc x oc or cc x cc. i can assure you, it’s not likely you’ll find someone who’s willing to write a story...
recently had someone take my whole plot concept and pass it off as their own in an interest check, soon after we decided not to pursue our story further 🧍 like… if it was just the basic premise, whatever, live your life, but they literally took so much of my worldbuilding that they did not...
kind of an underrated one, but quotev is my guy. some people on their do pms or feed rp, but they also have the option to make private groups, which is great for avoiding character limits. i used to rock with discord, but the lack of formatting options and the character limit were so annoying to...
honestly, same, but i’m almost always met with “ughh why do you have to be so serious, it’s just an rp, it’s just a hobby” like… yes! it is an rp!! for a specific fandom, one that i enjoy, and supposedly my partner would too!! so why would they be so insistent on straight up ignoring major parts...
i mean, rpn itself has a lot of lovely codes / templates that i use, and the private workshop is perfect for storing characters. mine is laid out like so ( along with a section for fandomless characters and anime ocs ).
before rpn, i was on a site called quotev, which had a great journal...
primarily being a fandom roleplayer, it’s a common practice to have pre-made ocs for each fandom, just adding to them and altering them over time, or as needed to fit the plot. i have like 14 different marvel ocs ( for most fandoms i’ll only have one or two ) — i find this not only easier than...
the other day, this guy ( not on here ) tried arguing with me about the topic of character sheets. it’s bizarre, mainly because i clearly state in my guidelines that i’m not one to jump blindly into roleplays without some level of plotting first, which includes character sheets. he says “have...
when people seem to only vaguely read my responses… like, responding to just one or two things that happened in my reply. it feels so disconnected, like my character may as well not even be there.
man, even with nitro, i always had to split my replies into 2 - 4 pieces on average, it was… i guess a minor inconvenience, but still enough to annoy me. i also hate the formatting on there 😭😭 i personally like to use bbcode in my replies, but even if not that, some basic formatting would be nice.
why do straight people need Everything to be about them… be fr 🧑🦯 if the character being bisexual has no real effect on the plot ( when they’re still going to be paired with your character of the opposite gender ), why do they have to change it so their character is hetero? weird. seems like...
yeah, that’s why i said… both are weird to me, esp if you’re doubling. and most of the time when people refuse to do queer pairings, it’s because they’re alienating queer couples [in media], hence… why people say that it feels homophobic.
they both sound bad 💀 obviously i’m not going to write...
i dunno if i’ve said this before, but when people adamantly refuse to do certain gender pairings… like, if you only do singles then whatever, i don’t care because we most likely won’t interact anyway, but it’s weird for doublers to me. for example yall… when people are like “i won’t do mlm or...
this is such a minor peeve of mine, but like… the use of “crush” instead of “love interest” 😭😭 it doesn’t make me upset or anything like that, idk what it is, it just makes me cringe i think? the phrasing of it just seems childish in a way, if that makes sense?
EDIT!!!! because i figured out...
not related to the post itself, but to your uncertainty on whether to use “a” or “an” — it’s an! if a word begins with a vowel sound, you’ll use an, whether or not the word actually begins with a vowel. so you’d say a roleplay, but an rp. similar to that way you’d say an hour, an rv, etc— a...
idk what kind of genre you do, but why not like… expand? like, if it’s such a big deal then obviously your only solutions are to try different types of rp, or to just write a story on your own. if you can’t find any groups to do your plot, why not try 1x1’s? in my experience, doublers are...
