2. The Precipricks will kick your ass

3. RPGuild is more divided than I ever fucking imagined

4. A thread is able to be 50% meme and 50% real shit

High Casual Rant

The various troglodytes of this forum find solace in the multitude of labels they proliferate. You are right in that the issue is more than just the various tags and descriptors that they use; it lies in the fact that these veritable cromagnons and their writings have depreciated and decayed in astronomic degrees for the last few years.

As I write this I hear the crowing of my neighbors lone rooster, a sound that I have heard for many days at this point. I can be rather assured in saying that the crowing of a rooster is a representative in my steady-state world - someplace where I feel at ease due to routine and the homogeneity of experience. The simians of this forum also vie for routine and safety in their own experience, which has led to such a vast congregation of them amassing within the Casual section. Of course, this need for routine has led to other problems, most notably the perpetuation of GMs who are propped up solely by their own cliques or the general lack of originality or experimentation within roleplay ideas, but the concentration of so many roleplayers within the Casual section is most pertinent to this discussion.

Chimps are naturally social animals, which means they wish to stick within groups of their own kind, for reasons of safety, protections, mating, food, etc., yet this also means they adhere to social hierarchies. The chimp who has climbed onto the branches of the trees sees himself as better than one who can only climb upon fallen logs, yet is intimidated by the branches further up, where his more confident brothers play. But what happens when too many chimps climb onto his level? Well, the ape wishes to distinguish himself once more, so he sees fit to climb one branch higher. There! He is now above the majority of his brothers once more! Of course, he is not at the level of his brothers on the canopy further up, but for now he is content - he has not strayed far from his place of comfort, but he still feels himself superior than most.

In general, I agree with Deadbeat regarding the stagnation of the sections as well as the general poopoo-fication of the boards. Yet perhaps it is not cowardice that stops these primates, but rather complacency and laziness.

Princess of the Hightower and Oldtown

Age

18

Appearance

---

Mariela is quite pale (and not surprisingly so, considering the fact that she is from the Reach) and has thick chocolate-brown hair that falls to about halfway down her back. Her bright, lively eyes are the same warm brown shade as her hair, and they are usually filled with cheerful mirth or playful mischief. Mariela is slender and svelte, though not the tallest of people, standing at five feet and four inches. She moves with the elegance and grace characteristic of a highborn lady, and there is always a smile on her face. Mariela tends to gesture excitedly no matter what the circumstance, and there is a general air of flighty liveliness about her.

Mariela takes great pride in her appearance, and she is prone to spending an inordinate amount of time choosing a gown for the day. She favors fine silks and satins decorated with jewels and intricate embroidery. Mariela is also quite fond of lace, and she is especially partial towards anything flowery. Mariela prefers bright pinks and yellows and greens, and she secretly wishes that the colors of her house were something more vibrant than gray and white.

Reputation

---

At a first glance, Mariela is unnecessarily focused on small, overly specific details and unbearably...girly. She is well-mannered and polite, if a bit too talkative, and her friendly, cheerful disposition is well-liked by her peers, even if her cousins make fun of her for wearing over-the-top gowns everywhere she goes. Though Mariela can be very prissy and a bit, well, shallow, she doesn't have a single mean bone in her body. She can talk about anything and everything for hours on end. Some tend to find this incessant chatter exceedingly irritating, which Mariela is not always the most aware of (read: she is completely unaware of). She is a kind and sweet person at heart, and she refuses to say anything bad about other people as a general principle-though she will gossip about anyone and anything to her heart's content, thank you very much.

If Mariela is not always aware of how much she talks, she is aware of the feelings and thoughts of others. Mariela is naturally people-smart and is good at picking up subtle hints that indicate shifts in emotions in others. She's a very good listener and always willing to offer comfort to other people. Empathetic, understanding, and nonjudgmental (well, on anything besides someone's taste in fashion, that is), Mariela is open and accepting. She has an infernal inability to keep her mouth shut on things that don't really matter, making her an incorrigible gossip.

Despite her overly enthusiastic tendencies, Mariela is a natural-born diplomat and compromiser, capable of expertly mediating tense situations. Armed with a firm belief in common courtesy and a natural gift for "reading" people, she is able to get even the most stubborn of people to agree to things through the application of sugary treats and pure politeness. She has a breezy, brisk way of going about her business, and she is unafraid to say what has to be said, even though that does sometimes entail being horribly impolite. Oh well.

Finally, although one wouldn't guess it from Mariela's outward appearance and mannerisms, Mariela possesses a sharp intelligence and an ability to analyze all sorts of problems and situations in the blink of an eye. Mariela is perceptive and observant, despite the fact that she comes off as very oblivious.

Mariela is generally known as Lord Cordin's flighty daughter and the princess's rather, er, annoying lady-in-waiting and companion. Most people don't think much else of her.

Relations

---

Lord Cordin Hightower
Lord Cordin Hightower is Mariela's father. As she is his only child, Lord Cordin is especially protective of her. The two of them are on good terms, and Mariela hates seeing her father so grave and solemn after her mother died. However, for once in her life, she doesn't know what to say.

Ser Jorgon Hightower
Ser Jorgon Hightower is Mariela's uncle. Mariela isn't sure about how she feels towards him-on one hand, he is her uncle, and she cares very deeply about everyone in her family. But on the other-gods help her-he has no manners! Regardless, Mariela would hate to see anything bad happen to him, even if he can be a bit more brash than etiquette allows for.

Markas Hightower
Markas Hightower is Mariela's cousin. Mariela is quite fond of him, as he is probably one of the few people in the world who doesn't immediately get annoyed when she opens her mouth. She worries that their uncle is pushing him too hard, sometimes, but she would never openly voice such an opinion because Ser Jorgon knows what he's doing, right?

Princess Serenei Targaryen
Mariela has been Princess Serenei's lady-in-waiting and companion for four to five years (a position that she obtained due to the arrangements of her father and Queen Daenerys). Mariela has always liked Serenei-she likes almost everyone she meets, really-and thinks of the princess as one of her closest friends.
