"How to Start RPing With Me" Guide
6 years ago
After many months of procrastination and laziness, I finally managed to write up a list of how to effectively RP with me. Now that I have this new keyboard, I can type pretty well now without losing motivation. Since I know people will be flocking for RPs, I might as well make this and other stuff just in case people are really eager for me to RP with them. More will be added as needed, but getting this put out now can really help in the long run.
1) Send a Note or Direct Message, stating which character(s) interest you in an RP Session
2) Mention what theme or idea you have in mind with the particular character. It helps me suggest other characters for roleplay should I have someone else that fits the theme better, or offer my own ideas to give my side of things.
3) We discuss what events should occur during the RP and go from there, seeing what would happen in the theme.
4) We RP from there, acting out our characters and seeing how the two pair well.
5) If interest in the RP is lost, or silence between us happens, it’s possible to talk once again and start another RP should the previous steps be taken.
> All RPs will be considered Non-canon. Characters will act and respond how they would if they were in the situation, but will not deviate from their character any further.
> As the owner of these characters, I have the right to deny RPing if I feel uncomfortable with the theme, RPer in question, or any other reason I deem fair.
> I will not develop new or existing characters around yours for the sake of an RP. I may tweak their story to match the RP theme, but never around someone else’s character
> If I am silent for a while I appreciate being reminded about the RP. However, spamming mentions every hour will not get me to RP sooner as there are things that may keep me busy.
> I’m very literate in how I RP. While I don’t expect the same level of literacy from those eager to RP, I at least ask for 2 sentences with a modest level of literacy.
> None of my characters are self-inserts. By saying “You” in action dialogue, you will be referring to my character. This also means I will treat any character in the RP as your character.
> I enjoy RPs where there is a strong focus on story and character development. I’m sorry if you wish to go straight into the action.
> Pokemon, Digimon, and Monster Hunter are themes I’m highly open towards
> Some themes ( Spiral Knights, Fantasy, Yugioh, Persona ) are possible, but won’t be as open to due to a lack of experience.
> I would prefer it if universes do not cross. If they do, I would prefer some backstory or explanation to justify it.
> I have no skills in RPing as a human, so any human-focused stories are out of the question.
> I would prefer to have some interactions and ideas before an RP turns NSFW
> I'm fine with sharing all the kinks I'm most comfortable with when discussing the theme in question.
> Greeting me with RP Dialogue without any prior discussing or talking.
> Refusing to accept my decisions on who I use in an RP.
> Refusing to accept my boundaries on what themes I'm willing to do
> Forcing me to use a character I have stated is not available for specific reasons.
> Using characters that clearly aren’t yours ( Using it as a representation of what your character looks like is somewhat fine, but taking the whole character isn’t. )
> Requiring me to develop new characters to fit your themes or interests.
> Attempting to take control of my character’s actions without any OOC talking or agreement.
