II. RP Style
- Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Heavy (IC as often as possible)
- Views on RP combat and injuries: I feel communication in /tell between both parties is important to help facilitate combat. While I'm all for standard combat scenarios being conducted naturally with a back-and-forth method of emotes, I'm also not opposed to utilizing /random occasionally so long as it's realistic and doesn't hinder the RP itself too much. When it becomes a burden and RP crawls to a snail's pace, I find the experience to be unnecessarily cumbersome - RPing out events which should happen in seconds, often over the course of several minutes. If /random is to be used, I rather it be as a guideline than a hard-and-fast rule.
For injuries I am willing to sustain injuries on a realistic level, but anything major (such as loss of a limb, blindness, etc.) would need to be discussed with us OOCly first.
- size=large]Views on IC romance:[/size] I’m okay with romance to an extent. I’m not a big fan of the couples that tend to RP exclusively together and ignore the rest of the community. Thus if I am involved in any romantic RP, don’t expect to see me spending all in game time with the romantic partner (though I'll certainly spend a decent chunk of time with him/her). Also keep in mind that any romantic relationship I'm involved in is strictly IC and in no way reflects my OOC feelings toward said individual. As to how far I’m willing to go: I have never and possibly never will be involved in any overly erotic RP (and if so, it will be 100% private). While I don’t mind my characters having sexual relationships, I prefer the fade to black concept when it goes that far. The furthest I would go would be kissing, some groping, and undressing (none of this in any public chat of course). After that, it should go to fade to black. (copied and pasted most of Kylin's for this since I'm of the same mindset)
- Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Most of Eva's family is deceased. She may or may not have half-siblings somewhere. If your character is an elezen and this is something you would want to consider, than please feel free to contact me to discuss it in more detail. I'm not yet sure how I would feel about such a relationship for a multitude of reasons. All other friendship/business type relationships I would expect to evolve naturally throughout the course of RP.
- Views on lore: I tend not to stray too far from established lore. I’m mostly a by the book type of role-player. While I don’t mind deviating a bit here and there, it has to be at least believable for the setting it takes place in. Royal heirs, aliens, and extreme things like that are a definite no-no in my book. Creating a fictitious building in a city, an organization, or even small societies are perfectly fine with me though so long as it doesn't go against the lore. That said, I'm not opposed to the supernatural (spirits, demons, etc) so long as it's done tastefully. I strongly believe in creative freedom in the world provided to us.
- Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I prefer it when linkshell chat is strictly reserved for IC (in RP shells). Casual OOC chat over the linkshell channel of a RP specific group has always annoyed me to no end since I am a very heavy RPer. I also prefer to remain IC as much as possible at events with other Rpers, though I’m significantly more open to OOC commentary during such events as long as it doesn’t keep interrupting an important scene. Party chat is /usually/ OOC unless there's a private scene going on. Tells will work for me as either OOC or IC depending on context. A number of acquaintances have "private pearls" and utilize the /tell channel as such in an in-character fashion. This may also be used IC if a character is in close proximity and whispering. Generally speaking, regardless of the channel, I will put parentheses around it if it's OOC - unless it's very clearly some sort of OOC/endgame type event.
