Though I have not made too many posts ( mostly due to my nature as a lurker tbh ) I am not new to the RP scene. I am also unfortunately NOT a RP " Veteran " for those of you who remember using yahoo and other older, now either neglected or simply forgotten sites. I am simply a person who loves to read, and tries their hand at writing down the multitude of incomprehensible ideas that show up, then tries to put them into a format that makes sense. 

At any rate, My question for the audience ( getting a little ahead of myself there. ) is this.

Out of everything you have seen in your time roleplaying, be it participating or simply watching silently with your popcorn like it's some sort of episodic soap opera, are there cliches, generes, character archetypes that you hate seeing? Do you enjoy anything fitting these descriptions? Why? 

Personally, I myself enjoy trying to properly create older characters, not quite elderly but more along the lines of a parent. I also enjoy the whole " hopeless romantic " trope if the people involved know what they are doing. 

What I dislike however, is the character type I will simply describe as ' EDGY ' though it can be so much more. When a character is sad and angry just to be sad and angry, with no real goal in mind and nothing else interesting to the point that it forces others to bring up that the character is sad and angry. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having bad things happen to my characters, not everything can be sunshine and rainbows, but when those bad things are all that is interesting about the character, well it's a big turn-off for me.
