Roleplayer Confession #1 -I hate restarting characters. When I create a character, I continue said character from the point they left off. If they move to another roleplay, the experiences are continuous. If I create a character, there is typically a connection to an existing character of mine. Multiverse logic is fine, they simply will not start over from scratch. I completely refuse to. This is my #1 quirk >.> Roleplayer Confession #2 -I make little Q&A sheets for my characters and prefer that to hardcoding a character's personality, history, etc. Virtually all of my characters don't have a proper sheet, just those little Q&A things. Roleplayer Confession #3 -I have over a thousand unused characters. By now, hundreds have died, never used in a public context. Roleplayer Confession #4 -Playing canon characters is not the issue. My issue is playing them well. If I do not think I have a total understanding of a canon character, I will not play the canon character. 'tis rare for me to play a canon character unless said character is not fleshed out to the point where I can simply create the content. Roleplayer Confession #5 -I love lore. That said, I hate joining roleplays with lots of lore, for much the same logic as above - there's too much for me to gain a true grasp of. In addition, the more in-depth it is, the more it moves away from my somewhat picky tastes. Kinda why I love Battletech, want to do a Battletech roleplay, and hate doing the actual roleplaying. Roleplayer Confession #6 -I've been the source of a few dead threads and roleplays from the simple fact that once my interest shifts, I am unable to get back into the mood of the original interest for some time. Roleplayer Confession #7 -There are two Sci-Fi contexts I like. The rest turn me off immediately or within a short period. One was a swiftly dead martian roleplay and the other was built using Starcraft 2's Cortex Roleplay as a foundation years ago. Roleplayer Confession #8 -I stalk 1x1 threads and think some people are great roleplayers. Objectively, I think they would be on the same page as me. And then I think about writing, get self-conscious and never do anything. In case anyone who cares [s]pah[/s] wonders why I look at their profiles too damn much. Roleplayer Confession #9 -Going back to the original points, my characters are continuous, which means I age them and they eventually die. They do not sit in stasis unless they are immortal or close to immortal characters. Roleplayer Confession #10 -This is the first time I've made a wall of the above things. I must be bored. Roleplayer Confession #11 -Physical character descriptions are fluid for me; sometimes I change details in my mind and consider that canon until the next time I change the given details. I'm usually unable to find a good image for characters because on one side, I have no artistic ability in most areas, and yet on the other I have a very specific image in mind that I'm not willing to pay to create (and at any rate, I'd piss the person I'm paying off by having demands for this detail and that detail after the outline is made). Names also change; one year a character goes by x name, another a character goes by Y name. Sometimes they don't have names at all, or even physical descriptions - just the core that I use to define all my characters. Roleplayer Confession #12 -I must spend at least a day looking at a roleplay to know if my interest is going to last should it catch my eye. After a day, there's a higher chance I'll stay if I decide it is for me. If I create a CS for a public roleplay, I am then set on being in the roleplay. If I don't wait first, I'll make a CS, and then possibly withdraw in a few days.
