I'm having difficulty just like... "getting in" to things. Not as in my interest is low, but I'm sort of just having issue trying to join in on something or involving myself, which kind of frustrates me because I feel like it should be much simpler than my mind is making it.
Despite having a couple of people directly involved with my character, he's still not really doing anything. And then recently I asked for RP partners and friends in this forum, and I got a good response from a lot of you, but then I don't know what to say to anyone because I don't really have any ideas for plotlines or our own arcs or anything of that nature.
I'm not sure if I'm just shy or I'm still that awkward with people, or maybe I'm just an unimaginative moron. But I was hoping for any advice on the matter.
Thank you.
I may be misunderstanding the advice your are looking for, but have thought about going to one of those people you have been directly involved in, and asking for help iccly with a guildleve or maybe just ask them to show you around a town you are less knowledgeable off? I think its good to go out and do something tangible with a character, even if its not about a specific plot line.
If you can get an 'outing' with them, try to ask them about themselves and listen Ask them questions about themsleves and focus more on behaving with your characters personality. React to the world around you through the eyes of your character. After a trip or two you may notice some holes in your back story or character. Maybe your character has started to form some opinions of life around him. And you may have a better feel for who your character is. You may find planning a plotline or knowing how to get around your characters social flaws easier then.
TLDR? OR somehing like that?: Ask one of the people you met to help you with something (quests or locational help etc) Take your character for a couple reserved test drives, and then go back to the planning plot lines or developing your character.
