More so the: "Realism Nazi" and "Tolerant sadistic"
RN: The act of some douchebag that will over analyze everything, thinks mostly logically, and will let you never hear the end of it in creative ways if you so happen to misplace a screw in a ventilation shaft. The bringer of annoyance and totalitarianism to those repeatedly refusing to research topics or not listening to someone that actually knows the technology. The end all be all of 1984 semantics, grander than the canyon if the soviet union ruled over it.
TS: The Ubermensch asshat that will tolerate most to a extent, but retaliation is absolutely cruel and unusual punishment. In my case, equal to the amount of what I or others can view as annoying at best, and pathetic scummy hogwash at worst. Will wait a week for a response patiently, but complain if it is a one liner. An absolute disregard of what happens to your character health if they do something absolutely stupid [like running at a machinegun], the destroyer of mostly character mental states, and no hesitation to implement repercussions and benefits to every action. So much so that we actually have to put up a disclaimer over it.
Also a democrap. I like testing new potential mods and GMs and see how they react under pressure to specific situations and only helps by democratic votes when in other's RPs, but when all the responsibilities of someone else fall on me without warning, it all falls apart. I also hate the idea of altering another's creation by a fundamental level, unless I practically made most of it. So I have natural restrictions so high that having me as a overall GM in your RP rather than dedicated like a CS reviewer, or enforcing existing and explained rules is a crappy idea.
Also throw in varying elements of the existing Autor. Especially anything to do with large posts, minus the fact I don't care how large a response post is if it works/isn't some disinterested "Hidar! Me Peter!" thing. I also detest the lazy and desire to blitzkrieg them, and negative towards not reading a post unless you are too busy for it. I'm sure something else might also appear at some point, that I could also be viewed as. I prefer story/RP than partaking in ooc shenaniganry, but I do emphasize and focus on fun when possible.
What we really need this scientific masterpiece for is determining this guy.

Nope. I'm making fun of myself in a joke way, but I suppose how it is worded does appear that way. Exception to some like one liners, which is just me copying, pasting, and exaggerating semi-ly for effect.
I'm just hoping that this doesn't turn into a derail like how talking about Mr. Friendly in HL turns into 75 page documents on alien dong, or the time people made a riveting debate on whether or not the line "I farted" was a storyline on another thread lol. Though there's plenty of great and effective vent threads to use if something agitates people.

I'm a wine critic. XD

The Pun Tyrant
I thinkI have a bit of “the autor” and “the wine critic in me” with a few differences.
As “the autor” I definitely prize long posts. That said, it’s not a matter of one thing being better than the other, I just find short posts extremely bland, no matter how well-written. They feel lacking, and 99% of the time do lack the things I want to see in posts. Furthermore, rapid-fire posting really doesn’t work for me, I am a (very) slow type, and I’m also willing to wait if my partner(s) need it.
As for “the Wine critic”, I don’t really look for things to criticize, but opinionated as I am, I do look for things to give my opinion on. Naturally, I do do my best to at least make sure I am adding something pertinent to the conversation, and may avoid it altogether if I don’t feel I would be able to.
I do however have a tendency to approach feedback with criticism first and praise later. The way I see it, besides the overall “is it a good idea or not”, the point of feedback is to identify and fix issues. This means not only that issues should be brought up, even if minor, but that one should strive to be clear on what the root of the issue is.
Update: I guess there's a very small fragment of me that fits with the "BBCode Addict". I do love BBCode and persistently want to use it for every character sheet I make and even my RP posts. I also really appreciate it in other's content, and tend to give more leeway to interest checks that have impressive BBCode than plain ones. That said, that's where my association with the archetype ends, seeing how I never demand of anyone to use BBCode (I do it myself because I like it, it's a bonus not a necessity) and I try to do what I can to ensure that people can properly read my posts regardless.

I notice some people treat NPCs like they're subhumans and give no reaction to them, or have any qualms about slaughtering them. But when any injustice is done to a PC they become a moral paragon.

Not sure if I have anything to add...or anything that hasn’t already been covered...

The English Teacher - Closely related to the Grammar Nazi, this person takes every grammar mistake and mispelled words and keeps a running tally. The biggest difference between a Grammar Nazi and the English Teacher is that they will practically grade your work (in terms of mechanics, spelling, and grammar - never your story elements because those weren’t important to them) and then disguise their disdain for your work as ‘helpful advice’ - which usually comes off as passive aggressive at best and completely toxic at worst. While this is nice for maybe...three posts, they do this habitually. Every post you make, every chance you take, every spellcheck that breaks - they are there, to judge the bejeezus out of you...and break your soul.
The Mad Scientist - It is ALIVE! (But usually not for long) This person has watched Frankenstein one time too many and sees every character and story as a chance to experiment. While not necessarily a bad thing, if left unchecked, you may find yourself grabbing a torch and pitchfork and humming a mob song to deal with an out of control character. Considered a cousin of the Mary Sue/Gary Stu and the Line-Crosser - characters of a mad scientist tend to pan out in only one of two ways. They either create something brilliant that actually works in a story and plays nicely with other characters...or you get a character that makes everyone else think ‘Kill it with fire’.
If you find yourself writing with a Mad Scientist, enjoy the creativity they bring in, but be ready to put on the brakes when they start wandering into dangerous waters. They won’t know they’re in over their head until they’re drowning.
The ‘Open to Critique’ person who is actually saying ‘OMG, if you say anything bad about my writing I will take it as a personal offense and claw out your eyes’ - Ah yes, this is an interesting species of writer. They want to know why people bail on them after a few posts and claim to be open to constructive criticism, they go ballistic if you actually point out something that is an issue. They will than fly into a tirade where they attack you as a person - calling you a plethora of foul things - and then block you before you can say anything. Bonus points if they write more during their attack on you than they ever wrote for their characters in the story.
Performance Anxiety Person - The writer that is insecure, young, new to RP, or has been through enough toxic partners that they freak out over every post. Every failed role play they think is somehow their fault (which is possible, but usually is a gross over-estimation) and if they do get someone to stick around, they seek reassurance from their partner(s) on a routine basis. Healthy in small doses, but pure poison in larger doses, most really do try to be a good partner - but trip themselves up in the pursuit of perfection - which is too subjective to ever attain.

If I were to propose a suggestion: the extraterrestrial elitist.
An individual with such an estranged set of favourite ideas, topics, and story elements that they might be from Mars. But not any kind of martian, the deadly, kill earthlings variety, which sees no other form of enjoyment than their own as sacrelige.

Ahhhh, yes, another two in the books. 14 and 15, the Irrational Hope guy and the Unicorn Collector.

when you at the when you you when the
he used to be so much worse when we were both like 12 and on the roleplaying subforum of the roblox forums thoughHaz. also get called out nerd
like no joke I used to absolutely hate him when I was younger because he quoted edgy ass shit from youtube videos and came off as such a little jerk
and this should all be taken with a lot of salt because little me was going through some irl shit and tended to be very salty when even slightly inconvenienced in the magical happy place, and as such probably viewed things a little more onyx-colored than they were
obviously he’s cool now, I’ve more than forgiven him and junk, plus my ego has died enough that I admit I wasn’t any better in some aspects at the time
but geeeez
Haz.
you are literally one of my favorite fellow roleplayers now and I wish I could write as much at such quality as youbut you really used to suck dude

has summoned me. Ummm alright I guess I can give it a shot, I haven't really RP'd on here for a while so I'll give it my best shot.
When I first started (World of Tomorrow) in 2016 I was most likely the first one, which is the closest thing to a noob you can get on the list. Being a nation builder and the first RP I basically have ever done, the nation I made (which Kazami knows very well) basically became the world power without even trying because hover tanks, laser rifles, flying fortresses, and other sci-fi shenanigans in what was supposed to be a post-apocalyptic nation builder. Yes, this is one of my biggest RP regrets.
As for what I am now I don't really know. The only nation-builders I have ever done has been with people from World of Tomorrow or WoT spinoffs. On the side, I did some realistic/modern hero RP's cause why not. First really was an edgy mary sue, so MarySue Creation Station at that time, but soon I developed a toned down and significantly less edgy version of that dude. I then switched to an iron man-esque character who was essentially the tank but not quite the mary sue the first guy was.
As Kazami said, it's gonna take a scientific breakdown in order to find out what I really am. If I had to say one it'd be the scientific, technological, and logical characters/nations/whatever. Although that isn't really a type of person on RPN thing, more of a favorite type of archetype thing.
