In life, there are no truly good people with hearts of purest snow. Furthermore there are no truly evil people with lumps of iron for their heart, sitting in a black ribcage of Dark Lord despair.
But there ARE dicks.Â
Rather than being a noble hero or mr nice guy, i wanted to try and RP a truly unpleasant person. I have been VERY careful about this, and given my RP character a lot of thought. He is arrogant, vain, stubborn but also a coward. However it all comes from a story based place as to why he's like that. He is never a troll or intimidating beyond the realms of RP and he ALWAYS buckles when threatened so the other roleplayer is in the power position in the confrontation. That way, the player behind the character never feels threatened IRL.
Needless to say, my RPs are confrontational when i RP with this particular character. It never EVER spills out into OOC but i find it limits what i can do with RP as obviously, no ones character wants to hang out with mine (and why would they? He's an arse.)Â
LONG STORY SHORT: Has anyone else here ever roleplayed the bad guy, and what issues or successes have you found roleplaying this particular type of character?
