Trust goes a very, very long way for me. I won't involve myself in a lot of affairs if I can't bring myself to trust the people I RP with, especially when it comes to a relationship/companionship.
I also need to have someone that can immerse me in their character, as well as someone that isn't going to try to change their character simply because they want a specific outcome. For that matter, I like people that can create 3-dimensional, believable characters that have thoughts and feelings of their own.
I like those that can get involved in stories as well as come up with their own; someone that isn't going to sit on the sidelines and expect RP to come to them or not get involved if no one goes to them.Â
I think spelling/grammar can play a big part in it as well and, along with this, people that can make posts that accurately describe and convey the scene. They don't have to be long posts, though I tend to be rather lengthy myself when it comes to more closed RP, but the posts need to be more than "So and so smiles at you." I'm certainly guilty of such posts myself, but I tend to only do such in a closed environment. As for spelling, if the person can't spell well, it tends to break my immersion (especially if it's really bad) by forcing me to try to understand what exactly was meant.
To sum it up, just believable characters in a living, breathing world with people that you know and can trust. They don't even have to be like-minded, just capable.
