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.
I really fear
That love, my dear,
Is very hard to find.
And while I've been searching for it,
I think I've lost my mind.

... 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 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.

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
