OOC: Even if you're religious, that's no excuse to impose your biases on other individuals. Being religious just makes your stance understandable, but, in the context of an RP, I'd hardly call it permissible. If your religion is that strongly opposed to characters people have made, [i]politely[/i] talk it over with them and hope they don't find you horribly offensive for demanding they change some core aspect of their character to fit your personal needs. If they refuse, either suck it up or join a different RP and hope for the best.

IC: Religious characters with strong to zealous beliefs add a good measure of spice to character interactions. This is a welcome thing, usually.

IC: Religious characters who are flagrant self-inserts intended to chastise all characters who disparage religion in one way or another [i]can still be a good thing[/i] with a group who can roll with the punches. Usually, though, these characters just get damn annoying since self-inserts rarely develop past flat characterization and vapid interactions.


On another grievance along the lines of "so edgy you're making me bleed" characters, I already dislike the basis of those characters, first of all, and then, more specifically, I feel their sharp pain every time someone writes in an "Extras" section or a "Hidden Aspects" section that the aforementioned Edgy McEdgepants is actually a giant teddy bear who loves people with all of his giant teddy bear heart, but because his body is made of diamond-edged razors he tends to be misunderstood by those around him, something which cuts his heart so deeply he is eternally hemorrhaging inside, so his agony is twofold and very badass.

Sometimes, I'm so touched by their depth that I cry black tears for those kinds of characters.
