Yes, I'm a filthy pig. I'm sorry.

On a side note, I don't think anyone has ever ICly made a move on -my- characters. This often compels me to write whirlwind romances in my characters past (cough) rather than actively have him pursue one in the present.
With that said, apparently the ultimate way to get ERP tells is to play an edgelord serial killer who loves no one. Or play a young woman.
edit: or, according to the volume of futa norns in GW2, play a female Roe.

Here. Have some femroe playing "Eyes On Me".

I adore the Roegadyn so hard that it makes me squee when I see another of mah peepulz around the realm. I try not to be some sort of special standout, but my delight of the race has sort of made that automatically happen.
Also, I have to admit that I enjoy drawing attention to my character's self.

I have a FemRoe bard that I like to think falls outside the norms of people who play Roes. She's not a lumberjack, nor a warrior of any real sort. She's a songstress and a drunkard and a bowmaiden and instead of doing pull-ups she prefers plastering makeup on and going to get hammered and sing bawdy love songs.Â
Maybe it's not as atypical as I like to think it is, but either way, she's tons of fun to play.

This is a common joke I make in my FC's chat.Â
"Hey Rae, why don't you find female Roe's attractive?"
"They're too tall and literally every female Roe has a penis, if you don't believe me spend two weeks in the Quicksand, you'll find all four of them, they'll all either be Dark Knights or Marauders, and all of them will be shemales, futas, or mistresses. Any others you find aren't roleplaying with you."Â
Obviously a huge generalization on my part, and this might be because other people have noted their lore is lacking, but you don't see a lot of variety in Roes. Maybe its not so bad if they're not in the Quicksand setting and with their FC's, but the biggest problem I think is in a public setting like the Quicksand where you're likely to run into them, there's very little difference between one and the other.Â
I don't know I feel the same way about Roes as I do about Sith in like SWTOR. For those who don't know the philosophy of the Sith, I can state it if you want, but its so extreme in the way it expects members of its order to behave that it almost always ensures if there's a bad thing to do you should do it. And while there will always be a few really good RPers who can make that compelling, a lot of people end up just becoming basically the same angsty, rage filled Sith who never does anything interesting because their order dictates they'll always do the greedy/morally lacking choice.Â
Again that doesn't mean its bad or shouldn't be done, just that by in large without good effort it ends up being kinda boring.

She really needs to meet Magma Dancer, who serves up as many drinks as you can pay for.

Most of my alts, by the numbers, are Roes, in fact, and not one Futa among them.

Though I will say it is discouraging the amount of lewd advances I have to fight off in tells when I'm just trying to either find work or RP.
Like I play a Female Roe (real female none of this futa crap.) and a Female Highlander as well and they don't get hit on nearly as much as Bear does.
As someone who stalks Bear ICly for RP reasons, thank you for Rping War Bear as awesomely as you do!

(Bear will be taking a small hiatus but he'll still be around here and there!)

I can't help but feel, given the discussion and points made, this makes a good segue into a new thread about each race's cultural norms and how we interpret and portray them in our RP.
RE: So few Roe? - Cato - 10-02-2015
Most role-players - and regular players - will drift towards the conventionally attractive or 'normal' races first and foremost. It's why the majority of characters in FFXIV are either Hyur or Miqo'te and the majority of characters in WoW are either Human or Blood Elves.
I won't lie - Roegadyn don't interest me in the slightest. I'll happily interact with them but I find them to be ridiculously oversized and I tire of how often they're just played as big, dumb brutes with the players behind them claiming that they'd easily overpower anybody they came across.

If someone's arm is the size of my entire midsection I usually give them benefit of the doubt.
RE: So few Roe? - Lydia Lightfoot - 10-02-2015
I dislike any MMO race that doesn't appear to have genetic consistency between the genders. In other words, if the males and the females don't appear to have originated from the same base organism (your gender isn't determined instantly upon conception - for awhile in the womb a person hasn't developed a gender yet), then it defies logic too hard for me. And yes, I know. Fantasy setting, fireballs out of thin air, where is your logic now. I know. Nevertheless.
In FFXIV, the two that scratch this "do not want" itch for me are the Roes and the Au Ra.

The Roegadyn look much like Human Male and Females. If you put a Body Builder Male and Female the differences in appearance are about Roegadyn proportions.

The Au Ra's character models mesh well together but damn that size difference.....
