i personally like pre-set relationships, personalitys, everything. perhaps being a perfectionist, sometimes, you stumble upon these characters that dont belong. and you really cant say no, because "bad character" is a stupid excuse. they dont follow the plot, and everyone ends up losing the actual meaning of the roleplay.

preset personalities and relationships prevent that. all the roleplayer needs to do now is just post that they claim such character

you guys say its annoying to be dictaed, but thats the point! as a roleplayer, once you reach the top (perhaps literate), you have no more challenges. playing a preset character challenges you. maybe you only play a particular personality. try something new!


*awk* okay. going away now ...

no i completely agree with you mint.

Sometimes you make a role play and someone joins but the character was nothing you were looking for.. I feel it's easier for everyone to be in agreement if there are already premade characters. It doesn't give you the cahnce to make your own personality, it challenges you to mold around the preset character to make it your own, not necissarily by rewriting the preset personality in a form but writing it out in your posts and showing that you have in fact taken someone elses creation and made it your own.

..Sorry for rambling, it probobly sounds really stupid and dragged out

I like them both!

Preset relationships and preset personalities (as long as they aren't super detailed) allow you to get a lot of the settling into the character relationships out of the way. I like having to make a character, say: "A boy who isn't too bright, but is very kind and considerate." As long as I've got the freedom to work around that, I'm happy. The one thing I do not like is preset personalities that are generic. Either give me something unusual to work with, or let me come up with my own, because I'm not playing: 'A pretty girl who is oh so shy and sweet who likes to read and ride horses'.

And then the ones with open relationships and personalities? Those are fun too. That's where I bring out my absolutely crazy and atypical characters.

My favorite kind, usually, are ones that have roles and suggested relationships. Leader, medic or popular, shy, etc. That way, you can settle into a character dynamic quickly enough, but you don't have to be confine yourself exactly to the personality type.
