It just evolved naturally from the backstory I'd built for her... as well as the problems I kept throwing her way. And don't get me wrong, I loved RPing her. So much so, when I switched games, I didn't want to leave her behind. But I did age her up, when I took her to FFXIV and made Ojene. And I didn't put her through quite as much backstory trauma as I did her WoW version. (Which, if you read Ojene's wiki, you might be surprised at. I AM SO MEAN TO MY CHARACTERS.)(10-15-2015, 12:42 PM)Meishali Wrote: This is not quite the thread to discuss this (and I might make one sooner or later), but I personally separate "characters" and "RP characters". While I do make the characters I want to make for RP, I always keep in mind that RP is collaborative writing--and it's hard to collaborate if your character pushes everything and everyone away. I would never get a closed character as my main for this specific reason, or if I do, I usually outbalance it with a "carrot" that makes them come out of their tower, should my RP partners find it!
Well, most people state it, but it's true. Sending a civilized message and asking for RP usually works, as simple as that. And it's actually quite gr8.Â
I agree, actually. I like to think in my case it was a situation of not noticing the pot was boiling; Warren remains a semi-public figure and is always open to people striking up with him (and I love it, too! It's fun!), but then plot continued to happen and he hardened up over the years. It's come up in the RPChat about how to get around or rectify that sort of thing.
I'm pretty terrible at arranging things, but I will give it a college try if someone asks me to meet up with them for something.
So Ojene's a hell of a lot more approachable. And the response to her has been fantastic! But also... a little overwhelming. I wish I had the time and energy to RP with everyone who's been interested, but I don't. Spending all my freetime RPing isn't an appealing prospect these days. Sooo, I've had to pick and choose, which unfortunately means leaving some people out.
Bringing it back to the topic at hand, unfortunately this might be a problem when you're seeking out these "RP crushes." But I think, you'll never know unless you ask!
