I M P O R T A N T   I N F O R M A T I O N

When you message me for roleplay the following must be understood:

 

I will NEVER..

• Play as characters other than the ones I wrote myself.

• Play in private with you unless the RP I find in public leads my character(s) to private meetings.

• Play your favorite published canon setting(s) -- I don't even care if it's a TV series I like.

• Join your moderated group or forum.

• Tolerate having my characters behavior censored because you're squeamish.

• Play with or tolerate "nexus" ("time" or cross-over -- ie; modern jeans and guns mixed in with medieval) characters from strangers.

• Play in a modern or modern fantasy RP setting with a stranger.

• Write you a character for you because you're an unimaginative twat.

• Promise to be gentle with yours or your character's feelings.

• Promise I'll like your character or promise you'll like mine.

• Apologize for an IC impulse or behavior.

• Agree myself or my character will want to have sex with you or yours.

• Permenantly deny you role-play for shit you did a year ago after the dust has settled.

• ... but most importantly I will never feel like it's "my loss" when you read my "nevers", and tell me we're not compatible. Telling me that is a pointless exercise.

 

I will ALWAYS..

• RP sex WHEN the RP makes me feel like fucking.

• Get turned off by you asking me if the RP is making me feel like fucking.

• Role-play in PUBLIC medieval fantasy chats with ANYONE who wants to play.
   - At least when I am actually availible for roleplay.

• Multi-Paragraph role-play or Short paragraph role-play.

• Risk or threaten my character's life or your own in pursuit of excitement.

• RP my character's personality, even when it is inconvenient or dangerous to herself or others.

• RP things that offend people.

• Publicly embarrass people who lack a sense of irony or ability to laugh at themselves.

 

In RP, I absolutely LOVE..

• Authenticism. (If you RP something you know a lot about in real life, good on you~!)

• In-Character Drama. (If it hurts, makes you laugh, get angry, or cry it's done right!)

• Generic Medieval Fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons themes.

• People taking creative license to make shit in their RP make some practical sense.

• Magic that is mysterious, dangerous and rare rather then common - such as magical boons with down-sides, magic items with curses  or that influence their carriers negatively. Defying the laws of physics should never be the easy way to do things.

• Seelie & Unseelie fae that don't really give a fuck about mortal values, who's ethics and morality can barely be fathomed or understood by humans.

• Old-style gothic vampires, werewolves that were legitimately horrifying, murderous and monstrous, thought provoking as predators and mysterious/hiding their nature.

• Classical sirens and mermaids that sank-ships and/or lured/drown and ate sailors.

• Classical centaurs that drank heavily, kidnapped, and raped throughout the Greek mythology that invented them.

• Other classical monster/horror elements that have been blunted or humanized by modern literature.

• Slavery that is slavery rather then a euphemism for BDSM relationships.

• Sticking it out through hard-times, because the group loves the RP and I appreciate that they appreciate my RP and when you stick it out through hard-times, so we can look back on these RP's 10 years down the road, and talk about them and other people like old-times.

 

In RP, I HATE when you..

• hide on an alt, and pretend to be someone else who I didn't know two years ago, when we all know based on your typing style and fetishes that you're not. =P

• present cheap story-arcs that are presented so my character will fuck a stranger's.

• say things like or equivalent to: "mm..so looking at her profile, I do have to say, those are some awesome boobs"

• apologize reflexively rather then simply explaining more clearly when I  say I do not understand something.

• use so many pro-nouns in place of proper nouns that I have no idea what you're saying.

• don't capitalize or punctuate 90% of the time it's appropriate.

• make excuses and want to tell me all about them. You are not required to justify yourself to me, no matter how much I ask. If your answer is stupid, or a lie -- it's better for both of us if you just suck it up.

• think playing in a medieval fantasy setting is inherently, somehow indicative to being a real-life racist because they lack the imagination to insert their "Filipino" (or other ethnicity!) character into the setting without blue jeans and a gun. It's a fantasy world; grow an imagination and make some shit up. You don't have to be a drow to be from a culture that has no parallel in IRL history.

• OOCly end stories that multiple people's plots and efforts have gone into because you don't like how your character's behavior reflects on you and aren't willing to affect change in your own character. "Lol. Annikan Skywalker suddenly ceased to exist because they player was unhappy other character's hate his because he chose to murder children - wut? What are we going to do about Luke's dad story-arc?"

 

However...

Doing any of these things that I hate, will not cause me to instantly dismiss the possibility of RPing with you, so long as the actual ratio of your OOC to IC is quite a bit heavier... as in... "I regularly get more RP out of you then I get flak". If you want to be on my good side... when I'm RPing.. start RPing. Just stop talking in my fucking IMs... open an RP Room... start RPing with people, and even if I hate your OOC mannerisms, I'll probably still think far more highly of you then I do people I get along with who never RP.

 

I don't choose my friends based on how often I agree with them. I choose them based on how we handle the things we disagree on.
