It's still weird and creepy. Would you post 'Requesting White Person for RP'
"Guys, if you're playing a light skinned character, I just feel it's more immersive if you are white too."
^ Pretty much how it comes across to me, especially with the added "I can't relate to cats and Miqo'te are totally nothing but cats so I race-changed..." :s A great part of RP is exploring topics you don't fully understand or don't get to experience first-hand IRL. "Write what you know" is a common phrase. Sure, you should have a basic understanding of your character, and be able to relate to him/her. But it's not rocket science to have a basic understanding of how different genders/races/whatever typically act. Furthermore, your character shouldn't be totally defined by their gender, race, or some other demographic. They can and should still have plenty of others traits you can fully relate to.
We have tried to explain what's strange about it, you just keep shouting, "PREFERABLY!!!!" and aren't reading what we're saying.
And no, asking for "Preferably a bard" isn't weird, assuming you mean a bard IC, as I don't think any of us are bards OOC, just as asking for a female IC isn't weird. Asking for a female OOC kind of is. I'm not telling you that you need to change your opinion. RP however you want to RP. If you can't stand the thought of RPing with another dude, that's kinda weird bro, but you do you. I'm just trying to point out how it comes across as odd and is only narrowing your audience here...
