There's really nothing I can add to this list that hasn't already been covered, but...
I play on a console. I have a crappy Bluetooth keyboard that often times likes to ignore the fact that I've pressed a button, or likes to think I pressed more buttons than I did. I do my best to catch these errors (which can slow down reply time), but yes, I have had posts come out looking like I drank an entire bottle of rum and bashed my head repeatedly against a brick wall.
However, I find that when I give a quick explanation of this to anyone I am rping with, I am readily forgiven and my minor mistakes are overlooked (thanks, guys and gals!! ).
I like para-rp. I sometimes tend to be wordy myself. I try to keep it short and simple in the more populated areas, to show respect for the chat boxes, but in a private setting, I do get a little more verbose.
My char is almost cripplingly shy and awkward...and I intended to keep her that way, but as of late, several successful dungeon runs have lent her an air of gentle confidence, and while I did not plan it, I love it all the same. People change and grow, and so can my character.Â
Also, some of the better RP I have had has actually come from an OOC habit of mine...when the RP is slow or I don't feel like RPing at the moment, I run around OOC, and send people (guys and girls) a compliment on their char. My char has a good friend ICly now because I OOCly whispered to the other girl that her axe was badass. Our chars kept crossing paths, and now Yor has another friend.
