Hydaelyn Role-Players

I. Basic Info

II. RP Style

Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy):
Medium, though I only RP when it would be logical for my character to be in the situation that is currently going on. As such, approaching me at random will have mixed results.

Views on RP combat and injuries:
Combat is a tricky subject, but I'll leave emotional baggage out of this and just say I don't believe rolls are the be-all-end-all of combat and deciding what happens to your characters after they get injured. In addition, pure emotes just tend to become an advertisement for..."Electronic Male Enhancement", if you catch my drift. I believe in happy mediums, like rolling for certain things but hand-waving rolling if an emote was logical. Finally, please, for the love of the Twelve, don't write anyone off as dead in a story just because they messed up an emote in an RP fight. I've seen this happen multiple times on other games and the person usually got blacklisted before they could even type "Sorry".

Views on IC romance:
Love me some love! That being said I do require a level of communication if you're interested in romancing one of my characters. Finally, I can and will retcon things if the relationship turns out sour on an OOC level. As for IC, it's mostly up to what would ICly happen in that situation.

Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc):
Family ties are fine but please, consult me first! For instance, Heemi's family is relatively small, and Kai'to's is entirely dead. Any other relationship of a platonic manner should be heavily discussed before anyone approves anything.Â

Views on lore:
Lore is your god, your character its temple. If I see you actively going against lore, or making up new lore that doesn't mesh with the setting, I will ask for an explanation. I need to know you respect the writers and aren't a "Death of the Author" type. I've encountered far, far too many people who think they're above the creators of their greatest treasure. If you are one of those, I may try to educate you, but only if you're receptive. Call me a stick in the mud all you want, but I've had to deal with Player-controlled Death Princesses before, and if I see one again I'm probably going to hurl the perpetrator off a cliff.*

Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc):
All can be IC or OOC depending on the situation, enough said. Most of the time I'm OOC, though.
