Am I the only person who gets annoyed by personality’s some people give their characters? I mean, not to offend anyone, but something like “He can be shy when with strangers, but likes to be with his friends” isn’t very unique, I mean, basically everyone I know has a personality like that >.> They could at least add a few more traits. Sorry if I offended anyone, it just annoys me. ._.

"She is very polite and nice, but when she's angry, she can be merciless and cruel."

^ Excuse me? WTH. You just said your character was polite and nice, but then when she's angry you "better watch out"???? Um, no.

I hate people that do that, contradicting personalities that is. It makes no sense, and in a way, kind of makes a perfect character (aka: Mary Sue/Gray Stu).

Those don't bother me too much, but I hated this one character in an RP.

Basically, she had only just started in the RP, and my character was high in the tower, talking with another. She wrote something like:

'Dark looked up. She saw the wolf. "Ima gunna shoot that sucker out of the sky." Dark shot a plasma beam from her paws and shot the other wolf down.'

>.>.... I chose to ignore that post, because we were having a crucial moment to the plot, and kinda in the middle of something else. Plus, her character had never met mine before, and had no motive for shooting Time out of the sky...>.> Then she fell in love with my female charrie's mate, which sprung up a whole nother predicament.

This thread is a great idea! I've got lots to rant about :3

I hate, hate, hate it when people write in their personalities 'shes like me so she changes'. I mean, that could be true, but that's just taking the easy way out; they could AT THE VERY LEAST put something about themselves. It just annoys me so much.. :\ Anyone else have this problem?

That doesn't even make any sense. o.O Whether you're a good roleplayer or not, you can atleast put something down for a personality.
Plus, strangers on the internet do not know your personality. If they're like you, then talk about what you are like, or whatever. You can't just expect people to know who you are.

Ugh... >.> And then another wolf asked what she did that for, and she replied something like 'I'm 1 of the most powerful wolfs around. i can do what i want!'

Did she end up mating with your character's mate?

Yes...>.> Which caused another melodrama.

And her mate was mating with several other wolves too, when I was on holiday, because he thought I had quit. I noted him about my leaving for four days, and made my character go into a coma of sorts so that nothing could happen to her whilst I was gone.
It was in my sig, big red letters too.
>.> And then he lied about it. I asked for a recap when I came back, and what had happened of importance, and he said that *insert character's mate's name here* had stayed by Nasme's side the whole time. 'How loyal'. I can quote...

Then I later find out at the same time as my character, from another user. o.e

Isn't power play and god-modding against role play rules here? Couldn't that get them reported?
