Looking around, I decided to post to this thread when I saw it! I never thought I was a picky RPer, but some bad instances on a different site made me realize otherwise.
- Search threads that are too business like. Roleplays aren't a business transaction, at least, to me. I get majorly turned away if the wording is too stiff, or if there are too many rules that make it sound like a contract rather than an invitation.
- Related to the above: I vastly dislike threads that go "Muse A x Muse B" or propose a roleplay between their OC and a canon character (you). It's just... Boring, to me. I mean, I've kind of done Muse A x Muse B prompts before, but only with a trusted friend that I was well certain would make it interesting to me.

- I have to be able to talk OOC with the person, or well, talk to them in PMs. I'm not the kind of roleplayer to just roleplay with no ideas in mind, even in the middle of the roleplay. I'm going to come to you with ideas that we can execute, and I expect the other person to do the same. I'm not much of a chatty person, but I'll also probably be chatting with them about other things, so I'd hope they don't get too snappy lol.
- Kind of related, I want a person to be able to come up with their own ideas and not just agree with me. Roleplays work both ways, if I'm the only one coming up with ideas what's going to happen is I'll experience burnout.

- And dear god, please don't ask me to roleplay a real person, I'm not here to fulfill your fantasies at the risk of my comfort v_v
- Somewhat related but is only really a preference: I tend to not use Face claims, because when I create a character I think about their appearance first. And a majority of the times, their appearance is far too different than an FC I could find. Maaaybe I'll get good enough at drawing to draw my characters, but until then
