That was good and all until we decided to take our OOC relations into IC and when things ended, it kinda made me look at my char and go "ehhh.... I'm not feeling it", mostly because it felt it crossed too far into the territory of the character itself. I think at some point I claimed there was a hidden marriage of some kind but it felt like the relationship grew OOCly romantically first, we began RP'ing together, then eventually the OOC life kinda poured into the IC one at some point. Then again, I was a light RPer at the time with not much time so, who knows what happened there.(07-23-2017, 08:58 AM)Valic Wrote: As a personal experience, I developed a romantic relationship with my previous persona out of a duo that started as treasure hunters. It also stemmed off an OOC relationship but that was prior to the persona's birth as is. In the end of it, I felt weird mixing the IC and OOC relationship as it was such a big part of my character too. It feels awkward to play as a persona that is so related to someone or nearly requires their character to exist that I figure any IC relationships or etc for my character should be less of an impact on my characters here on out. I've restrained from any relationships IC that may develop OOCly and vice versa to prevent this again. I can see IC relationships still happening but the degree I had mine on my previous persona was too far into the base of the character for the persona to work or feel right again, so for now I feel personally that relationships IC should be somewhat less priority or it takes away from the character themselves. Or it may leave an certain impression that may change how you treat this char ICly/OOCly too depending on how things go in said relationships if they get involved both OOC/IC. That's all just my personal experience though and how I go about it.
Oh yep, I never roleplay with the intent to have romantic relationships. In fact, I started with my silver-haired OC (Krice) almost seventeen years ago now, not even wanting the possibility of the relationships (I was a kid back then, what did I know lol), and I tried to avoid them, but naturally over the years, he grew to become his own man, almost external from a character standing, and developed the relationships on his own, even though, at THAT time, I didn't want relationships because I knew they'd make things complicated.
Now I let things flow as they will, and it's great. Sometimes it ends and it's miserable, but at least it's organic and realistic, and doesn't feel forced.
