II. RP Style

Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Light to Medium

 

Views on RP combat and injuries:

Depends on the situation. I am fine with combat as long as I can co-op with my rp partner. Injuries and attack abilities should fit the character's skills, limitations, and other factors. If I know my co-writer, I'll generally go with the flow. Otherwise, I prefer a /random 20 pass/fail system to leave successes and misses to fate. 

 

Views on IC romance: 

I like naturally developing romances for the characters. I do not pre-promise characters to a relationship, and there is always a chance the romantic effort will fail or be unrequited.

 

I don't believe in rewriting character beliefs and concepts to 'fit' a pairing, or love at first sight. I also belief that a romance is affected by IC behavior- or lack thereof. If a lover says something hurtful to my character, they will react. 

Ghosting for weeks and suddenly come back= character is concerned about where yours went, and will act according to their personality and backstory to the reasoning.

Ghosting for a month = The IC character abandoned mine, and my char will believe and act accordingly.

 

Pet peeve: NO CROSSING THE IC/OOC BARRIER. Those who confess an IRL crush or act like we are 'together' ooc because our fictional characters have a romantic relationships will be given my character's 'out' and we will sever our rp partnership. Turning fiction into irl is not healthy for either of us!

 

 

Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc):

LOVE! They lend extra depth to the character's background that is beyond my control. Which leads to great twists, turns, and character development. I generally only play family rp with people I trust to stick around, as it is *awful* to get ghosted by someone important to the character. I'm very open to childhood friends, clanmates, hunting partners, clan rivals, etc though.

 

Views on lore:

Lore is EXTREMELY important. It lends flavor, setting, and boundaries to shape character perceptions, limits, belief systems, behaviors, and more. More importantly, it gives us a standard to help us predict how characters might react to certain creatures, characters, and circumstances. For example: Tempering up until now was essentially incurable and practically a death sentence. Someone playing a tempered character should expect that anyone unaware of the recent developments in MSQ will be distrustful and potentially try to 'put them out of their misery.' 

 

On that note, I don't mind lore bending as long as it is 'lore probable.' If it gets into lore breaky territory, we'll briefly pause, try to come up with a reasonable solution, or gently recon as best we can. If it is totally unworkable, we'll quietly disengage and go about our respective days. I want everyone to enjoy their gameplay experience, so no hard feelings if that means we end up parting due to differences in lore-preferences. ^^

 

That said, my characters reflect the good, bad and ugly of lore. I do not pull punches on the lore-based perceptions and mis-conceptions the characters would have in this setting. They are not 100% perfect rays of sunshine, not are they a reflection of my own OOC attitudes and beliefs. If you are easily OOC upset and offended if a Miqo'te fiction character is a jerk to your woodwight because of the longstanding 'poacher' thing? Or you see red if lore actively prohibits something you wanna do with my chars?  We're not a great fit, and that's okay! Just don't make it some big OOC drama. We can part ways without it turning into some sort of name-throwing, label making, reality tv drama. (I'm too old for that bleep.)

 

Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc):

I'm not a fan of using linkshells for more than ic and ooc communications. I like /s and /em for rp, whispers for ooc discussions or ic whisperings, and /p for private rps if its a scene we don't want random people to walk into.  Such as a mission or an oocly time-constrained meeting.
