Interesting characters: This probably should go unsaid since it has been mentioned before in the thread, but I'm going to tag on my own flavour. I like characters with interesting stories that don't include copious amounts of tragic plot points as a backstory. I love doing horrible things to my characters during current RP plots, and I'm sure other people do as well, but I've seen "My super wealthy parents died and before that I had a lot of daddy issues and my life is horrible, inner turmoil *grunts*". If your character is trying to overcome those things, I'm more inclined to listen to their story, but if that is their sole personality trait, I tend to glaze over it and move on to something else.Â
Length: Someone who knows when multi-para is fine, and when someone knows to keep things concise and simple. I love posts with multiple paragraphs in one-on-one settings and when the extra length adds necessary or interesting details to our interaction.
'Clicking': What I mean by clicking is when they two characters bounce really well off of each other in encounters. My character happens to be very rude and sarcastic. If my partner can banter with him, Nick not only enjoys it, but I love it. It makes the roleplay entertaining when two characters mesh well together.
Reasonably spaced out encounters: Despite the above post, I don't want to roleplay with you every day for a week straight. I know that sounds really rude, but I get burned out pretty easily by constantly roleplaying with just one person. Two days in a row? Sure. If our characters are close or bumped into one another randomly, I'm okay with that! But, my characters all have lives of their own and jobs that they need to do. It also gives us a chance to RP with other people.Â
Open to in-character disagreements:Friendships and relationships aren't perfect and no one agrees all the time. I like it when other characters aren't quite sold on what my character believes. It makes the dynamic interesting and gives them something to discuss, talk about, and overcome.
OOC friendliness: I love talking about RP. I love theorycrafting how our characters might get along. I love it even more when the other person behind the monitor likes discussing it back. You don't have to be my best buddy in the whole wide world, but I like being able to get along with someone on an OOC level, especially if we're going to be RPing frequently. If my character is in a relationship with yours? I will probably add you on skype and message you to do other stuff other than RP (Want to farm x,y,z. Want to level another class together?) If my character is in a relationship with yours, more often than not, we've talked quite a bit and become friends on an OOC level as well.
