RE: IC actions you've regrat - Faye - 01-07-2015
I regrat nothing.
Nah, for real though, my characters are flawed people. They often do things that aren't the smartest idea. The only thing that really makes me cringe and despair OOC are when my characters do things that shatter their relationships with other characters who I OOCly enjoy.

Oh, OOC I don't regret them, obviously.
Just that IC, Kell is like "wtf did I just do this for" sometimes. He is at the mercy of a capricious and easily bored mun.

None on Rough that I can recall!
I usually don't often regret the choices I make for my characters.
RE: IC actions you've regrat - Steel Wolf - 01-08-2015
A couple of days ago I was urged by Dennthota to punch Joundi to "defend Roegadyn honor". In a bit of mirth, I instead lightly socked Denn in the stomach.
Didn't get the reaction I had hoped. Sorta regret that one. Very much hope that Denn doesn't hate Steel's guts for that.

Well, out of character I don't regret anything Berrod does. I do very much enjoy watching him regret it though. Oh, sweet schadenfreude.Â
I think I like tormenting the big lug too much.
RE: IC actions you've regrat - Crisiet - 01-08-2015
Crisiet is kind of a jerk. That's just his character. As such, I try not to regret things he does too much.
Sometimes I might think, "Well, would he really do that? Isn't he more mature than that?" But honestly, it doesn't matter. I don't regret it OOC. Cris might feel like a tool IC though, but that's half the fun.
RE: IC actions you've regrat - Kage - 01-08-2015
Something kage regrets: Asking Denn to the Royal Ball. Trusting Denn. LIKING DENN. HATING DENN. >DENN.
Other things Kage regrets: The big space between him and Roen. Everything that happened with Roen when Nat went craycray on that *nod*
Something I regret that I've said in FoM LS once upon a time. Ended up erp with a little bit of crazy. NOPE'd. Done. Out of there. AHHHHHHH
RE: IC actions you've regrat - C'kayah Polaali - 01-08-2015
One of C'kayah's characteristics is that he thinks of himself as the Beloved of Thal, because he's died a handful of times and been brought back every time. To me, he's always been a killable character - having a character who's completely invulnerable to harm, to me, destroys a great deal of the meaning of their story - and his habit of getting into dangerous situations makes this a very real possibility. In a world with any number of not-uncommon ways to raise the recently deceased, he's been brought back from them all. Most of the time, this makes sense. There were two occasions, however, where I allowed the course of things to change based on OOC objections:
At the First Royal Ball of Ul'dah (back in March 2013), C'kayah was attacked by enemies. It was a pretty brutal attack, with a pretty high overkill factor. The RP story behind this would have been served really nicely with his death, so I decided to let him die. A friend of mine at the time got hugely upset OOCly at the idea of this, and I allowed myself to be badgered into letting C'kayah be saved. ICly it was on the borders of plausibility, because they brought help soon enough that I could see this happening.
The next couple of months were pretty heartbreaking for C'kayah, and he lost everything he cared about. After a last shattering emotional blow, he decided enough was enough, and took poison. It was an interesting end to his story, and I was satisfied with the way it all played out. My plan was to do a server transfer name change (RMT name changes weren't a thing at the time) along with a fantastia and play him as a new character. As a postscript, I contacted a few people I'd played closely with to let them know what was happening. One took this extremely badly and again I allowed myself to be convinced to allow C'kayah to be saved, this time through some pretty serious story-breaking powergaming.
In retrospect, I regretted both of these. In the first, the RP arc I was playing in was materially made lesser, and (in my opinion) stripped of a lot of its impact by my allowing C'kayah to be saved. The second was worse, however, because I basically had to go in with a tire iron and remodel C'kayah's emotions. It took a few months after this before I felt like he was his own character again, and I would have had more fun in that time developing the character I would have replaced him with.

Denn hates everyone, so no worries there.

With abs like that, you can't regret too much.
RE: IC actions you've regrat - Coatleque - 01-08-2015
Crofte regrets being so passive in the past. Natalie wouldn't have blown up a warehouse or gotten shot if she took more initiative to lead rather than follow.

When we all know it was Natalie's fault
RE: IC actions you've regrat - Melodia - 01-08-2015
Ruru - Letting his friendship with Kage fall apart. His entire downward spiral would not have happened....or at least not in the same fashion, had he remained in Ul'dah and been...what's that word? Oh yeah....PATIENT.
Melodia - letting her obsession with Thatcher overwhelm her.
