Oh oh! I know this one!
1. I totally have an entire SOUNDTRACK for each character saved on my computer for different situations. I even shamelessly share them when I'm rping with people in game and they're on skype, just to show what mood I'm setting. I think its a fun step and makes the rp feel that much more awesome!
2. I usually try to remain constant with injuries in rp. I might go a step too far, like once my character had a spinal injury and was actually paraplegic for a few days until a skilled healer saw him. But like, in the even of lesser injuries, I do like remaining consistent with them, at least until a healer gets you patched up. Say like, with a leg injury, I might have the /walk turned on and I probably wont be jumping around.
3. Rping solo is fun to see and is a passive way to let people know you are available to rp with. It also makes the world feel more real, in my opinion. LIke if I go into the Quicksand and sit at a vacant table I'll often make emotes over time that my character might be eating something or reading a book. It's a fun way of letting people know you're an rper and maybe looking for someone to interact with!
4. Initiating "God Mode" isn't very fun if you do it out of the blue. But of course, there are events in movies, anime, or comics where a character will tap into that secret power and make a powerful display of awesome. Usually I've only done it around friends and very rarely if I even do it at all (most of my characters aren't really very powerful). In the event that you want to go God Mode, its good to send the other players you're rping with a /tell to ask if it would be okay. You don't have to spoil it, but as long as it's within the game lore and falls within reason with the Final Fantasy genre, it should be okay. Just try not to overdo it; a lot of times God Mode is best saved for future rp if you're character is capable of doing things like that. Like, if you just met someone, and you run into trouble, you can't just pop God Mode right then in there. I like to pretend, when I rp, I do so with a studio audience watching. If I pull out God Modes all the time or right off the bat, sure it's cool at first, but then there's no tension or surprise for the future, because the audience will expect it. Such things, even in single player games, happened only every once in a while or only once at all, like with Tellah's Meteor spell from FFIV. Do have fun, but remember to make it fun for everyone you are rping with. They have well-written characters too~Â
I hope I had some good information! And have fun~ I hope to see you in game sometime, don't hesitate to give me a shout if you need someone to rp with~
