Character development =/= revealing your character's overly tragic past.
Fail person is fail.

I hate this!

*Puts on fashionista voice* "Giiiiiirl, tragic pasts are SOOO last season!"

Ugh. I mean, really--85% of people weren't abused as a child. It's not that way in real life! I understand a few tragic pasts, but when every single charrie has one....Ugh.

I would very, very much like to point out that that statistic is crap.
Child abuse is horribly common, most cases aren't even reported.
So yes, it is that way in real life.

Overly tragic pasts are an annoyance.
If you character is being chased by a muderer that killed their entire family and foster family that abused them in every which way that I'm probably not going to accept them.

Oh mai.....I didn't know that. That's quite sad, actually.

Well, you learn something new every day, even if it's not something good.

But, yeah. If you burned down your house with your family in it on purpose to murder them when you were five, joined a gang at age six, and killed someone when you were twelve....Just no.

... That made me think of a Silent Hill game, sadly enough. -mutters about Pyramid Head-

I'm talking about the attention seekers, though. I know a couple of people who were abused, and they don't go about flaunting it to get attention. Makes me want to go find my school shooter character again. >>

I feel like people will get sick of me if I'm in multiple RP's with then. All of my charater's are different though, maybe it's just my worry-wart self. ;.;

I guess the most tragic thing in my characters past is that they nearly drowned as a kit. (It's warriors RP) But, that happens in the books, so you know, wasn't really that tragic to me.

Yeah, it'll be okay. So long as you're a nice person in general, I'm sure that they'll be glad to have you in multiple RPs.

O_O I feel like a creeper when I'm in the same RP with someone all the time

ONE strict rule I do though....

I NEVER trade with those I RP with, unless

1. They have something I REALLY want

2. They send the trade.

Agreed. I don't trade with people I RP with. X3

That I can't come up with an idea for one of the NPCs I'm supposed to be coming up with for my 1x1.
WORK BRAIN, YOU! You can usually churn out these guys!

I personally prefer to rp with people I am familiar with. I know who to accept into my rps and who to keep out. Like those who post one lines and dont follow the rules... but still, if you are a nice person in general I'm really sure others don't mind ^^ I have no problem with ya lol
