[quote=@Todd Howard] It gets brought up in every IC post they make to make it extra repetitive and annoying. And even leaks into OOC conversations as they just continue trying to push it further, and further as something truly horrible that we should all be taking note of every breathing moment. [i]pain[/i] [/quote] I completely forgot about the OOC leakage, ugh, pls no. [quote=@Hey Im Jordan] Yes, yes, yes. This so hard. I write a lot of fluffy slice of life RPs(don't @me), and so so many people write long, edgy, over the top, and angsty backstories. I've done it before myself, sure, but people will make it like the entire focal point of their character. Like, there is nothing to this character except their depressing backstory because everyone looks at roleplaying as a way to drink an espresso depresso. [/quote] You just don't understand their paaaaaaaaaiiiin /s It just gets so old so quick...worst part is, a tragic backstory can be used well. It can add some depth to a character, provide some motives, too. But no, this sort of character prefers to just be 2edgy4u.
