IC Mannerisms while OOC - K'nahli - 09-15-2014 I'm curious as to how many people do this and how far you take it. I'm sure that many people have been guilty of this at least once, but what I want to know is... Is there any way that you behave while playing a character, even when you are completely OOC and not even close to RP'ing? It needn't even be specific to the way your character behaves or would behave, but even just a reaction to the world around them at any given time. I, for example, very seldom go through Coerthas or anywhere undergoing cold/rainy weather without equipping a set I have that is made to keep my character dry and warm(mainly just a cloak, gloves and decent boots). It's quite bad, to the point that I sometimes question why other people around me, even non-RP'ers, aren't doing the same(not actually questioning them, haha... but in my head...) A friend also has this little quirk where she simply says "Hello." when entering a dungeon, completely absent of any friendliness or smileys - which are almost mandatory in her normal, daily speech patterns and when playing her brighter characters - simply because they do not suit her male characters. So! What are yours? RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - Marisa - 09-15-2014 I've almost entirely stopped using my mount. Pretty much just hop everywhere now. Although I've still yet to come up with any good explanation for Ryoko's constant jumping past "she's weird"... RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - Nebbs - 09-15-2014 Oh I tend to have a sliding scale of RP so will still be doing it in my head even in a raid. I will then adapt to those I am with. Some constant things I do more often than not..
RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - Berrod Armstrong - 09-15-2014 I tank like a wild beast. Once, I did an in character run on Berrod as a marauder and played his style off as wild and reckless. Since then, it's been my style of tanking in non-raid content. Rawrgh! RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - OttoVann - 09-15-2014 Lets see When I was running a Expert Roulette with friends from my FC and LS, I was in my dragoon set, the shirtless sexappeal set. Anyways I would just stop DPS to /pose and flex and talk about how great I look during trash pulls. Sounds about right. RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - K'nahli - 09-15-2014 Quote: Hahaha, that's a nice little quirk that never really occurred to me myself. Its definitely silly things like that which I was hoping to hear about. Quote: That reminds me, I do like to salute NPCs belonging to my GC or for the very rare time I see someone in full uniform though that's not quite an IC thing really since none of my characters are active members of one. Also, when on my hyur, I tend to smile and wave a lot to random people whenever they look my way or for any other natural reason(similar to occasions where you would do so in real life).

I think I have learning to be an alchemist in queue after becoming a scholar.
RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - Warren Castille - 09-15-2014 I'm exceptionally lazy when it comes to capitalization on shells and in chat, but I always put on my English Student cap when it comes to party chat. Proper punctuation and the like go a long way towards looking like you're sane. RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - Coatleque - 09-15-2014 - I turned off auto-sheathe weapon so Coatleque is always battle-read in dungeons. - I always turn her hat on/off depending on if her hair is up or down. RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - Stormsrage00 - 09-15-2014 While running around in crowds, even in OOC, I tend to walk in such a way so I don't physically bump into people accidentally. I'll even jump out of the way of someone sprinting or riding a mount. I am fully aware that their avatar will simply pass through mine, but I just can't help it! RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - TheLastCandle - 09-15-2014 I find myself talking like Yvelont sometimes in OOC whispers, especially when I'm in the middle of RP. It amuses me, but I'm not sure anyone else notices when I do it. For classes I play that Yvelont would never be IC, I've found myself glamouring pieces I think he would wear if it were IC. Like the Pilgrim set for White Mage, because it looks to me like something an Ishgardian priest might garb himself in. I also do as Coatleque does and turn off autosheathing weapons, because I found it too jarring that Yve would put away his weapons when there are clearly more enemies to fight just ahead.

You can't run in or through people.. noo no no. Can't be doing that. No. RE: IC Mannerisms while OOC - OttoVann - 09-15-2014 Oh my god I totally forgot I hit on people inside of Duty Finder sometimes. 100% lay moves on them as I am healing (99.5% of the time). Never works out, they're never from Balmung, R I P.
