I went to Quicksands once on my first day playing and two female characters wanted to ERP. All I did was sit at there table with them and talk and then they asked if I like to fool around with them and that their relationship to one another was open. I was really put off by it and have been avoiding roleplaying for the past two months since then. So wanted to get some background to myself to make erpers not interested.

Tam Tara HM was just mentioned, but if you want to be able to see the true form of Voidsent creatures, there's really nothing that says your character can't. Imps can take the form of other things and High Ranking voidsent can possess people or corpses. Having a character that can see their "True forms" isn't too far fetched (And players can choose to believe her or not, still), though I would make it so your character had a terrible run in with the void that could explain why she can see it. Maybe, if you want to go down that route, she could also see mortals who are "Voidtouched" and see just how void-touched they actually are?

Also, ERPers are gonna try regardless of what you do.

Unless you play a Lalafell.
Maybe.

If anything your current backstory will only draw ERPers upon you. Given very few actual lore-abiding roleplayers would wish to roleplay with you. ERPers generally do not care for the lore in the slightest, the thing you seem to be appearing to do yourself. The more exotic, the more likely these people are fawning over your character, seeming they often try to find the strangest of people to consort with.

The closer you stick to the lore, the more chance you have running into serious roleplayers, and not just the deviant type.

"Maybe", haha I guess I will just have to have my teleport ready at all times.

Is there any monster in the void that is known to be like this? Koh the face stealer that would be just the right amount of spooky. Since they steal people aether they are kind of like Koh.

I don't understand how this thread made it to six pages.  Entertaining, none-the-less.

There are many, many different types of voidsent

http://www.ffxiv.gamerescape.net/wiki/Ca...s:Voidsent

of various power levels and such. We actually don't know them all, voidsent could be pretty much anything. I wouldn't really be adverse to just inventing one like Koh if you are so inclined, BUT there's probably someone who knows way more about the void then me around here.

Thank you for the link. What is the most well known voidsent? I may be able to base it around that because there may be more people who know it. Hmmm. Any recommendations for Void experts?

Reading up on the thread, OP wants to be a goddess from another world, from -another- game, have schizophrenia and any number of other things going on?

And refer to the Quicksand and an ERP zone?

The only way to discourage ERPers is to play a character they don't find hot. Otherwise you're gonna get those offers anyway. Just tell them "no".

I adhere to the lore.

I ERP.

And no.....I'm not a deviant. But thank you for the generalization. *bows*

Always appreciated.

I think Virella meant ERPers whose sole purpose of RPing is ERP. There's a difference between that and RPers who are okay with ERPing.

That is to say, people who roleplay primarily for erotic content as opposed to people whose roleplay may contain erotic content. 

something something adults pen0r

I'm not a roleplayer who 'happens' to ERP. That turn of phrase makes it sound so defensive lol. I don't accidentally emote my characters doing the down and dirty and says 'oops how did THAT  get in there'. I am a roleplayer who engages in the act to narrate a sexual or otherwise erotic situation when I so desire, which is honestly nobody's business because I'm an adult who roleplays with an adult. Hell, I posted a somewhat erotic piece on the bulletin board once. 

That said, it is not the primary focus of my roleplay; just as I roleplay fight scenes, bar scenes, or the occasional field-trek, I choose to sometimes (when I'm not fucking lazy, which is ...almost all the time) roleplay sex.

^ That's basically my account, for a bit of perspective.
