I assign a character's personality based on their zodiac sign. Essentially I look at the traits associated with each sign, pick the one that fits them best, and then use that to describe their personalities.
The zombie apocalypse child, struggling to survive every day when their world suddenly becomes formidable and unsafe for everyone. They have to make unimaginable, difficult decisions.
The comedic character is another favorite of mine. They brighten up everything (:
Characters that can...
I do some of those.
I've done the eating-a-character's-favorite-food and it's very interesting. It makes you think about why they like it, and even what they have in common with it. One of my character's favorite foods is kale chips. Bitter, seems unpleasant. But after a while of eating them...
Everyone's got great feedback but here's some more:
-Make them forget their wallet at home, or where their keys are
-Make their phone run out of battery
-Have them tell a white lie- "I can't go out tonight. My dog is sick."
-Make them sick. Give them a cold, etc.
-Is he tall...
My favorite OCs are the villains, and even though they're not that atrocious I'm scared to write about them in fear that people would think I'm weird. (American Horror Story gave me a lot more confidence in that regard.)
Even though I'm female myself most of my OCs are male.
I highlight...
I've seen lots of people center RPs around a certain time period, and I think it'd be helpful to have a thread where people can share their experiences on writing for a certain time period, and which resources they found helpful to use.
What are some of the challenges you encounter? How do you...
Good:
The Villain Master: He/She is a God when it comes to creating bad guys. Constantly full of surprises and continually blows you away with well-written villains who are effectively awful, yet full of redeeming qualities. This person is even willing to sacrifice them for the plot...
Couldn't agree more.
The good thing about not being the "Best" is that people aren't intimidated to rp with you. I used to be worried about doing an rp with writers who were more skilled than me, but I'm starting to like the challenge.
I've seen that. And I don't understand why (because the official character is obviously appealing to play even though they're older) few give them a chance. On some level I understand it. Younger people find it hard to relate to old characters, and the media they watch (Tv shows, etc.) usually...
-When people don't contribute to the plot. I don't want to write everything myself.That's what I'm roleplaying for.
-Being expected to read a person's mind from a two-sentence post and trying to figure out what they want me to do
-Roleplays that die after a week (RIP)
-When I create an...
