I've got my share of RP crushes, but it's usually the walled-off nature of my character that prevents me from interacting with a lot of folks and I'm notoriously bad at alting.
I hope this thread doesn't derail, then. I always give solid questions so people keep in mind the focus of my threads.
I'm an alt juggler kind of roleplayer myself, I think I couldn't deal with having only one character that isn't flexible when it comes to meeting other characters. Since I have more than one characters, it gives me more than one RP route, and it gives me even more goodies plot potential...And even more RP crushes. Save me from my misery.
When you say that tho, it means you've tried RPing with them?
This isn't a problem Ojene's had so much as her WoW incarnation did- she was so closed from people, sometimes it was hard to make new RP connections. Folks would try to interact with her! But more often than not, she'd push them away with an alienating aura. Espeeeecially if she was on the job.
I've never been good at keeping up with alts, so... this meant my RP opportunities were a bit on the limited side.
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
