I'll check their user info, then their FC info. I prefer user info that gives me something to work with; if it just says [rp], I'll keep walking.
Recently, I've taken to writing current physical appearance in the info box like:
eta: I may be wrong, but it really seems like for every one person that will just march right up to initiate RP with someone, there's 9 that won't. So you have a bunch of people just sitting around all night, hoping someone will walk up. I've initiated conversation and I've been ignored more times than I can count as the person/people nearby have either a friend or someone else who is more palatable to their RP style walk up. So, you kind of have to be okay with rejection.
Recently, I've taken to writing current physical appearance in the info box like:
- Burned on right half of body, partially healed (or "Pulls down sleeve to hide burn marks")
- Glances furtively around before shuffling away.
- A friendly face.
