RP Questionnaire

Thu Oct 22, 2009, 8:44 PM
Stolen from :iconlostandtold:

++++

1. Personal information
d: I think you're all pretty familiar with the fact that I'm pretty secretive about my personal info. Aeorys, Anonym, Eris, AK, etc. are common usernames I use while online. I'm a legal adult (18+) and a resident of SoCal. I'm a first-generation American-born Chinese.

2. Genres
A mix between original and fan RP; specifically, RoLaS and FE. I prefer original RPs over fan RP most of the time unless I'm really familiar with and into the fandom. Fantasy is my favorite genre, without a doubt, especially combined with medieval/Middle Ages settings. I don't mind modern, post-modern, or post-apocalyptic RPs, either, though futuristic ones are a little harder for me to do. I'm not so great with SciFi. I like action/adventure roleplays, though I'm apparently better at social RPs rather than combat ones.

3. Style
Forum RPs are the main, though I do cheap script-style OOC RPs with my friends over instant messaging or in chatrooms with close online friends for fun. Novel-style, 3rd person limited, generally, unless I'm running the RP with both villains and multiple hero or non-player characters. I'm kind of anal about my writing, and I try to shoot for at least five paragraphs per post. It usually takes me a few hours to post for some reason. I'm kind of slow at writing. /: I hate sounding redundant, so I really like thinking things out. I won't post if I feel like I'm being inadequate. >>;

My actual writing style is heavily influenced by Brian Jacques, whose writing tends to have a sort of whimsical tone most of the time. I both love and hate classical English, and some may notice that I tend to use older grammar structures and/or wording. I like putting quite a bit of detail; almost too much, sometimes.

4. Characters
I'll play just about any type of character. I tend towards female characters in general, but prefer those with strong personalities. I do feel like I have one too many at this point, but so many RPers have male characters, so I feel obligated to end the sausage fest. I'm also kind of bad at RPing guys for whatever reason; I'm probably just out of practice. That, and my guy characters are either FABULOUS or MANLY.

While most chaps prefer the hero role, I'll actively volunteer to play the villain. Most of my characters are what I like to call 'grey' (neutral) rather than a straight up 'white' (good) hero or 'black' (evil) villain. The same goes with my baddies. They're evil and all in their own right, but often have characteristics that could render them potentially 'good,' or at least 'neutral.' I like to think that it gives them a little more humanity. As much as I love evil, twisted, maniacal antagonists, they do become very cliched and shallow after awhile. Depth is a wonderful thing, folks. Not everybody can be pure-______.

5. Ratings
I prefer PG-13, specifically. As much as I like gore and sex, it's really kind of unnecessary. I mean, I love character interaction and all, but is it really necessary to have a topic just made for John and Mary making love? I think not. If you want to love, do it on your own time; we don't need to see it. That's private stuff. PG-13 allows for some decent flirtation, some pretty good gore, and swearing. That's about all that I really want. Oh, and it allows for same-sex relationships.

5. Ideal RP partner
Somebody with a similar thought process and doesn't mind giving/receiving input and critique. It's awesome to scheme relationships between our characters, as well as plan out things in advance. I'm not very picky about RP partners.

6. Peeves
I hate control freaks, people who don't read, bad grammar, short posts, ambiguous posts, powerplaying/godmoding, Mary-Sues/Gary Stus, arrogant assholes, false intellectuals, idiots, n00bz, waaaaaambulances... The list goes on. >>;

Oh, and I really hate people who can't take criticism. We're trying to help; if you can't take the heat, GTFO. You CLEARLY don't care enough about improving yourself as a writer to swallow your pride and actually try considering that you MIGHT be wrong.

BRIAN JACQUES IS MY HERO :love:

I don't know if you're very much into the wuxia genre (ancient chinese fantasy action/adventure), but Brian Jacques's writing is just like that. Only anthropomorphic and European. :love:

LOL >: I can't read Chinese, unfortunately. I was totally fluent up until 3rd grade, and then over one summer, I forgot EVERYTHING. Except how to understand it. XDX My dad used to read a lot of wuxia stuff, and we have loads of the old martial arts/fantasy etc. dramas. That stuff is way awesome, though. I'd probably read it if I knew how.

Lumo: YES. I'm guilty! I stole the paper clips! And you'll NEVER get them back D<
