3. No, I definitely don't. I think that sometimes illiterate role players or a creator with false information about the book/movie/TV show/etc. can easily ruin your thoughts on the original. I think that people should be creative and make their own R.P. I don't mind if you use concepts from one, or loosely base it off of one is fine, they're all good inspiration, however like I said I think that people should mainly use their own creativity.

Hmm its an interesting point you raise there {I have a lot of those same thoughts in regards to fanfiction}. But working within the limitations of a world which has already been created is a great way to further explore a detailed world. Some of my favorite things about fandom are how analytical the fans get. Now, I've never been one for fanficton or for "canon" characters in roleplay but I do enjoy exploring Pern in DRoP roleplays and trying to go deeper into the world that McCaffrey built. For instance, her main characters are mostly gold- and bronze- riders with very little exploration on heroics from other dragon riders. I love dropping my original characters in a setting like that and seeing how they play and bounce off of the limitations and restrictions within that world, trying to find new "routes" so to speak in the vast world that McCaffrey only hinted at or did not explore further. For me, as a fan, I see problem areas within the book I wish to 'fix' or figure out why things work the way they do. And although I like traditional set ups I also enjoy the more free DRoP games when mutations and other colors get thrown into the mix, the sexuality-based Impression gets completely shoved aside, and the limitations built around rank based on colored dragons is challenged completely. Or dragon wars. xD I always enjoyed those as well, dark as they got, when the dragons would be forced to fight each other and flame each other from the skies--something which never happened in the books.

A lot of the problem I have with completely original roleplays are that they are so plot-focused it is really hard to explore every bit and inch of an original character, and also sometimes the plot {frankly} is boring. I always feel as if my character{s} are simply pieces of a puzzle that have to fit in a certain order of things, instead of just living their lives in a more natural flow.

I guess I somewhat agree with you on that.
There are a few role-plays based off of certain shows such as Avatar: The Last Airbender that can and should be used as R.P's.

What is your favorite form of roleplaying? See, I'm a forum-based roleplayer and I love DRoP roleplay {Dragonriders of Pern} but I cannot for the life of me play on a forum like this where the different boards are about CS and there's only a thread or two for the actual roleplay. :? It seems confusing and disorganized to me. I like having a forum where the different boards represent different "areas" to play in and each thread is a different time with only the people invovled in that plot/mini-plot actually posting there. The one time I really enjoyed playing here was when I was part of a Hetalia roleplay, and that was just because of the less-serious nature of a parody-comic-based roleplay I'm supposing.

I know some people love chat roleplay {msn}, email/pm 1-1 roleplay, yahoo groups were big at one point, and others prefer this sort of board for various reasons. What are some of the reasons you prefer the style that you prefer? Do you venture into one or two of the other types of styles?

Do you all prefer book/movie/tv show based roleplays? What about your own character vs a canon character? Or is it all-original from the get-go? Darker stuff or lighter stuff? Romance or not? xD

And how did you start roleplaying to begin with? xD I was a Neopets kid. -shame- And I used their board for roleplaying kind of like this only the threads would go rapid-speed and a whole plot was usually completed in a day. {My name was Dragonkim33 if you ever rped with me?} I never tried Gaia. I learned roleplaying from a great forum-based Harry Potter game called "Wizarding Realm" where you get up the rank system as your writing improves. I was about 'intermediate' level when I left. About nowadays I churn out a regular four paragraphs per post, sometimes more. Which leads me to another question... do you prefer roleplay posts sweet and short, or long and with lots to reply to?


OHBOY IT'S LIKE A MEME!

1 ) Forum based, definitely. I've only started rp'ing on CS recently. Having one thread for EVERYTHING really bothers me and confuses me. D: I'm like 'WAIT WHAT.'

2 ) I love chat rp for just crack stuff, nothing serious. Like one time we did Kanda from D.Gray-man getting drunk and turning into a kissing monster. Then one time, a road trip with all of our characters, in one van. My friend and I have an IC chat box on our site, but I also chat rp on msn or cboxes.

3 ) I like either original or based on anime. 8D I enjoy playing canons more than my originals most of the time. xD Darker stuff, with a bit of romance. <3

4 ) HMM. The first rp I remember doing was Wandering Hoofbeats on Proboards. It was awesome, but then it died. D: It was a horse rp, which is what I started with. Then I moved to Hoofbeat and am still there after 4 or 5 years. xD 2007, I know ; we started on a different website and moved two years ago. Man, it was bad when I first started. I did a one word post. YOU CANNOT BEAT THAT. i was 9 though so. >>; Anyways, I prefer long novels. 8D I generally write three paragraphs on a good day, 1 and a half on a bad day. I've done 1500 word posts easily.
I'm back. :^)

Hello, everyone! :D
Form

Username: Spawn

Favorite type of RP: Hmm, let's see.... I tend to like semi-realistic wolf RP's, and what I mean by semi-realistic is that they can speak, sing, dance, etc. No purple fur or wings, although, odd colored eyes, like green, yellow, gray, and sometimes purple, are allowed. I also like simple human RP's, usually teenagers in high school. I just happen to like apocalyptic RP's, and mental disorder RP's, where there are crazy people and such. By the way, I usually only roleplay on only roleplay websites, so this is my first roleplaying and etc. website.

Sample of writing:
Translation for Italian: Please lick your wound clean, Dear, and I will put thyme on it. Please whine once you are finished so I may heal it.
A normal day, indeed. It was a fine day. The sun was shining, not a cloud in eyesight, and the blue sky was bright and elegant. Banshee had been collecting poppy seeds and cobwebs. She had been lucky, finding chunks of cobwebs and plenty poppy seeds. A small smile came upon her black kissers, was this the emotion know as 'happiness'? The sun felt good on her dark pelt, the feeling of the grass kissing her pawpads gently. Then, it seemed as if hell came out through the sky, like hell acting like bright heaven, deceiving all those below the bright heavens. Rain came pouring down, and Banshee had very little time to react, the only thing dear Banshee could do was grab more cobweb and poppy seeds, stuffing them into her mouth.

Wind howled, trees rustled loudly, the sky turning black with demonic clouds. Banshee attempted walking towards the camp, hoping to get to safety, but that was not going to happen, Banshee could already tell. Wind hit her with terrible strength, as if it wanted to blow her away with the wind. As Banshee continued to take slow steps towards the camp, branches and leaves ran into her at full speed, giving her small cuts all over her body. Banshee didn't mind nature hitting her, she couldn't feel pain. Pain was an emotion, she still couldn't identify it. She continued to walk on, her mouth slightly puffed out due to the herbs hidden in her cheeks.

Water ran through her claws, under her paws, wanting to take the lithe girl with it's current. Banshee continued to walk on, her icy blue eyes narrowed against the wind and rain. Her pelt was quite dirty, due to sticks, leaves, and mud sticking to her chocolate fur, making the weight on the girl quite a bit heavier. Suddenly, the focused female felt her paws go out from under her. She fell to the ground with a heavy thud, closing her eyes as she hit the mud ground. She attempted to get up, but then realized she was now part of the flood. The water carried her with brutal force, pushing her along with the debris filled water. Banshee fought the current, trying to get away from the flood made river, but she just couldn't get away from it's watery clutches. Suddenly, she felt something sharp and rough rake against her side. Banshee was sent underwater, sending bubbles through her nose, as she saw a large branch raking her side, that started from her hind leg. It came quickly, tearing at the flesh of her side, and soon, it was at her head. She was in a terrible daze, she had no idea what was going on. Acid didn't say a word, most likely because Acid also had no idea what was happening. Banshee saw a cloud of scarlet underwater, and noticed it was blood. She came to the surface, taking gasps through her nose. She soon was rammed into the trees, hearing sickening cracks that were obviously from her ribs breaking. Her eyesight became blurry, and soon, blacked out due to the loss of her precious blood.

A dark phantom in the brutal darkness, the elegant blue eyes glowing cruelly upon young Banshee. Dark browns coated the large male, his stormy eyes staring down at Banshee as if he was observing her, about to test her, about to experiment on the young wolf. From the corner of her eye, Banshee saw a light brown female slowly creep upon the large male, and soon, the female even pounced upon the male. Banshee wanted to say watch out, since the male looked quite dangerous due to his ivory canines and dangerous ebony claws. But, instead of the male attacking the female, he simply blinked with surprise, and soon gave a loud laugh. At least, it looked as if he was laughing, Banshee couldn't hear anything, as if she was deaf. The female laughed, and soon, her eyes open. Banshee's own eyes widened, and noticed the female had similar color of eyes as Banshee. Banshee shook her head, her side rising quickly and falling shakily. What had she just seen? Banshee shook her head, and rose from the muddy earth. It seemed that she had escaped the water. She felt an emotion, most likely 'pain' due to the long bleeding gash on her side. She also felt her ribs out of place, and her tail was crooked and wouldn't wag, a bone sticking out under her skin. She then heard a loud howl, and instantly knew it was Ruelle. Banshee, still with herbs unharmed in her mouth, began to limp/trot towards the long howl of her leader.

As Banshee arrived, she noticed Bush Wolf and Non Talker were already there, and they weren't in the best condition. Ruelle seemed to be fine, which Banshee felt quite 'glad' he wasn't injured, or their pack could be in danger. She noticed that Blue had coughed up blood, and was quite injured, a broken ankle it looked like, perhaps a few broken ribs like Banshee. Nameless seemed to have quite a few injuries too. Banshee dropped the herbs under scarce shelter, to keep them from getting soaked. Her side still dripping blood, her tail crooked, and her bones sticking out from under her skin, Banshee said strongly, "Banshee is here, Ruulle.... I feel... fine. Even... though... I am injured... I can't.... feel... it." Banshee gave a small nod, and Banshee gave a small cough, which soon came to a loud hack, and soon, a glob of blood came from her throat. Banshee gave a weak smile, before her eyes rolled up, and collapsed on the ground.

'Banshee, you're stupid. You lost far to much blood. Tsk, Tsk, you should have healed yourself.'
'I must... help the...pack before myself'.

This was the first time Banshee spoke with Acid directly, and it was fairly pleasant.

'Hmm, should I take over? Heal ourselves and our pack? I swear I won't eat anyone.'
'Fine... go... ahead.'

Banshee could see a smile from Acid, and soon, Banshee was sent into the depths of her own mind.

Acid slowly stood up, her head low and slightly hanging, her legs in a wide stance. A large grin came upon her lips, and as her head rose, her eyes were narrowed in a quite seductive way. That was Acid. Acid looked from wolf to wolf, as if they were scum that didn't deserve her. Acid gave a sigh, and soon gave a soft growl to herself in Russian, before she spoke in her high pitched, scream-like voice, "Crappy weather, no? Some of you may know of me, but none of you know me directly. I am Acid Ripper, at you're service." She gave a bow that was quite mocking, her eyes still narrowed to a seductive look. Giving another sigh, Acid spoke once more, in a quite lazy tone. "My my, quite an injured bunch here, no? Might as well heal your poor little wounds." Giving another grin, Acid licked the long gash along her side, just to clean it up a bit, clear the dirt. "If anyone has any d*mn dirt on their cuts, lick it off and spit it out." Acid said, as she waltzed gracefully over the herbs that Banshee had brought. She also found quite a bit of thyme, which would be fairly useful. She bit at the stalk skillfully, and chewed a stalk to a pulp, and approached Blue. She attempted to smear the pulp upon her wounds, going quickly and skillfully, without a word. She chewed a few more stalks, tasting the bitter taste, and she soon approached Nameless, going slowly, like a phantom. She attempted to smear the pulp upon his left hind leg, which had a wound, above his eye, and she soon noticed a terrible wound on his ribs. She observed it carefully. She wasn't tempted to eat him by looking at the wound, she was observing to see if any bones were sticking through the skin. None that she could see. She gave a small nod, and then said surprisingly gently, "Si prega di leccare la pulizia delle ferite, il miele e timo porrò su di esso, va bene? Si prega di lamentarsi quando si è finito." Acid spoke fluently in Italian, giving a small smile. She had recently found out that Nameless could speak a wee bit of Italian, and so, Acid would speak to him in Italian. She then nodded, and walked before Ruelle.
"My Lord, no injuries? If you don't have any, what the hell shall we do about this d*mn flood?" Acid gave a narrowed look at the alpha, as if challenging him, but of course, that was just her normal look... Or was it?

Any semi-lit/lit RPs you have: None at the moment, sadly.

Hi Spawn! 8D *responses to note above form*

Ahem, anyways. I'm remaking one of my CS pet RPs and I'm making it literate. I'm going to be kind of harsh with accepting on this one. (I know I've been making RPs like no one's business, but I'm only in two semi-active ones as of now) I'll be remaking the plot, but I just.. can't think of one. Is there anything anyone would like to see in an RP? :3 I plan on making this a *don't use your own pet pictures and show off, find that picture in the archives* kinda thing, I think. O_o

xD yeah, it is kinda~

So you started out in forums? I agree, one-thread rping {with more than one person} confuses me. Everyone talking at once in the same place. 0_0 So... lost...

Okay, would anyone be interested in a simple ballroom dance/ costume themed romance role play?
Well... here's the plot, if the above portion didn't explain it. ^^

the grandfather clock in the hallway rang for a time, marking the time as midnight. yes, it was an odd time for such a grand experience, but then again, this was no normal ceremony. ten people, five men and five women were set to arrive, each carrying a large suitcase with clothing and necessities to last them the week. each person is without a partner, and this statement works in two manners. each one is to merely meet one another, and are not allowed to speak beyong introductions on the first day yet they are to put in a request, for a partner for the upcoming ball. it's a way of testing instinct within relationships, and the pairs are to spend their time together, though of course they are to interact with others. the last day of the week, is set as a ball, in which you and your partner are to dress in a unique costume with a particular theme. in all, it's a week to meet the one of your dreams. and, dance with them at the unique ball that could commemorate the beginning of your relationship.

{if so, here's the link to the thread. I'm planning on accepting only nine people. [five males, four more female characters] ^^ }

I made my runaway rp =3

__

Image
This is Garam Orphanage, it was founded by Lisa S. Garam in 1961 and this place has a few dark secrets. The children that were sent there got tests to make them better than the average human in some way. Hundreds of people have died, and some were lucky enough to break out. Even after you turn 18 years of age, you somehow disapear off the face of the earth. Nobody knows you are there, and you can't get out. Security is impossible to get through, check in times must be followed, A group of three broke out in 1982, but two of the three were caught, brought back, and then had their memory erased. It is now 2011, and another group is planning their great escape.

    I'm a complete 180 from you guys.
    Having more than one thread drives me insane.
    I can't keep up to save my life. :c
    And it's annoying to have to make a new thread on a different board every time you change locales.
    (-is assuming you guys are talking about Proboards style RPing- x3)
