To be perfectly honest, there will always be people who view any courtesan type character as nothing more than an ERP alt (even if you don't even ERP...) and look down on that idea from way up on their high horses. The plus side is, these generally are people who aren't worth befriending or role-playing with anyway, so it's a foolproof plan to weed out the people who aren't worth your time. Â The idea of playing a courtesan is completely lore-friendly, so people who'll pick at it are really just beings jerks.
Playing chaotic/evil characters is very fun and I don't regret making the jump from maining a shy, goody-good character to maining a character a bit more... ruthless. As someone also quite shy and timid OOC, playing confident and cut-throat characters like that is a nice and interesting break from reality. And if you do decide to make a courtesan, check out this linkshell! Always looked like a cool idea to me, and PkThunda is awesome.
Thanks for the comments! The RP/RPC community always seems so open-minded and welcoming. I wasn't too too concerned that the people I would want to interact with wouldn't have a problem with it.
I did take a look at PkThunda's shell and considered asking for an invite. Though I have a feeling I'd get booted pretty quickly IC for causing problems among the memberships. Already had an idea from an interaction with a random walk up RP (props to Verad - reminds me I need to write something to) of something terrible she'd do to others.
