Haha, you guys are silly. Going to drop some experience here. Went over the whole thread and I'm having a hard time keeping up with it. :drunken:
In my linkshell, quite a bit of people were transsexuals (Male Mithra undercover!) or just flat out homo. I guess we could call that a cliche.
Another one being, being half-creature. It worked for most people. I don't mind. Solana has chocobo tendencies. As long as it was explained, then I saw no problem with it.
We had an Alchemist who was half crawler from a botched-up experimental accident.
I never did see a problem with demons or having wings. On many occasions, you see characters turn into wyverns, become ravaged beasts from curses, become possessed, etc. etc. It's a magical world out there where many things can happen. Because people can transform and you have the experiments which appeared when Aht Urhgan appeared, it opened up a new set of what can be done in the RP world that's a bit more creative! I don't see a problem with talking animals, either. They could be enchanted. They're special beings. How would one explain the talking doll we see every so often in FFXI? What about Cardians? See? Many possibilities.
Then there's the whole half-breeds. We now know they exist in FFXI. How often, we don't know. There could be a lot of them around the world! We just never ever hear about it, you know?
This is why I tend to mind my own business until someone brings it up as a problem. It was usually brought up on the forum and said person in question had to be legitimate on why it was okay that they did x and y to their character.
What specifically wasn't allowed in my Linkshell though, were characters who would make inconsistencies in character development. Such as, the character inexplicably hates Mithra, then the next day, just suddenly LOVES them, and then they have a sudden bound of amnesia, so none of that ever really happened to them. It's not fair to the other RPers lol.
My suggestion is that many need to just mind their own business and to not be so sensitive on what people are doing. The more people worry about something that should be considered minuscule, the more there's going to be squabbling and turmoil. It's unnecessary to judge others RP and to limit creativity. :star:
Going to say this though. I remember the whole pregnancy ordeal. I can see why the person involved can be upset. Nine months is a long time to be RPing something. In defense of the other party, some people don't have that patience. We don't even know if the gestational period of the races to be honest. Regardless, the person who caused the other to be upset had character development issues to begin with. She married at least half the linkshell and had like 10 babies who fell off the face of the world and was never spoke of again.
I'm confused. BUT HERE'S A GOOD SUBJECT!
How time is managed in the world.
