Muse and mun is in my eyes often used by people who cross the line with IC and OOC a bit too much. My roleplay characters is far from my inspiration, a tool, not a person. She's just my roleplay character. I'd also not degrade myself or others to be 'mundane', because real people are not boring :^)(10-14-2016, 09:31 AM)Throm Wrote: I know this is quite some time after the fact however I've recently ran across MuseCast XIV which is a exclusively a lore/RP based podcast.

Currently listening to this, thanks to this thread. Agreed that it's pretty entertaining, although there hasn't been very many episodes yet.
I'm currently on episode two, and I don't know if it improves, but there's a lot of dead air on occasion, which implies that the hosts don't really have a script, and often just fall silent when they run out of things to say. It's one of those things which can absolutely be corrected with practice, so I don't begrudge them that.
Anyway, what prompted me to comment here is something from their first episode; namely the idea of the "muse" and "mun". Is this something that's widespread in the FF14 RP community? I admit I've never heard of this, but it does make sense in that there has to be some way of signifying the separation between character and player, and "muse"/"mun" is as good a method as any I've seen elsewhere.
But each to their own. Most people don't use it in game though, I've only strictly seen it used on Tumblr.
