Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our annoyances.

(Note: I just had LASIK surgery, so my eyes are blurry. I may not catch the mistakes when I write this...or care to fix them if I do).

The only time I think it is a problem when characters react opposite of what we hope is when they never react different than that. Like, sometimes, I play a character who is an angel. I play on the "Angels know Love and Protection." So, they don't understand fear, hatred, etc. When this is known ahead of time, you can EXPECT that this character won't have many emotions to show no matter the situation.

But then there's time when you get a NORMAL character being played, and they play them absolutely emotionless and there is no 'reasoning' behind it... That's the only time I might come out and say; "Hey, it's hard to really respond to the RP if you never show anything emotion wise... If you plan to keep acting like this, my character won't stick around..." And, in 1 x 1s, if someone leaves, the RP ends.

What I hate is when...I look for a partner for a plot and describe how a specific character they play will be demeanor wise...and they want to do it...but then completely flop the character into someone else...which totally throws the RP off... I don't mind if they ask to change it, but since the plot I was expecting called for specific types of characters, when they take a cold hearted guy and make him a softy from the get-go, it's just weird...and basically stops the RP. Growing to be softer hearted is fine, but not without depth to build to it.

Sparrow said Was it something I said?

Well, if it was just in one night, it's not a huge deal. She very may have wanted to go to bed and needed to do a few posts elsewhere first. That's not a sin, and by the time you were posting, she may have gone to bed and it just said she was still online.

If it's going on over a course of days, and she won't respond, it's just a ditch. o-o

Well, I was talking more 1 x 1. It's funner without the character sheets to me. The worst that can happen is I find someone new later.
I believe the GM should see them and be smart enough to keep the characters in check. But I won't be reading everyone's sheets. I'd rather just go for it in RP.

I had an RP where character sheets were required, but only I would see them. The only thing I would post on the thread was the main information; Name, age, image.
Then I'd make the people actually meet them to learn more. No one ever complained because I was a close-watch on what I allowed and didn't.

I believe that is the best thing to do on characters. It's why I refuse profiles.

1 ) It gives away too much. People tend to blurt out EVERYTHING about their character. I'd like to learn it naturally.
2 ) People assume whatever they want by it instead of meeting the character and learning what it really means.
So on and so forth.

Given I don't know much, it doesn't help. I am not a fan of cliche characters myself. I'm very much against them because I get bored, but to each their own. It's easier to leave the RP than bitch about someone else's char unless you have control.
Going on what it sounds like, he/she just doesn't like the idea of what they feel is 'cliche' and has a lot of contradictions.
I don't know your char or the RP, so, I don't know if it's justified, but sounds like one of those people who, instead of leaving on their own, rather bitch.
o-o

That happens a lot. This is sometimes where it rolls back into; "Is it justified?"

I've literally seen characters that literally say in their profiles and sheets that they are perfect in all ways. Strong, beautiful, this that and the other thing. I will often dub them; "Miss/Mr Perfect" when referencing them. But it's justified in a way because they have basically created a mary/gary sue and it's just stupid.

Then you have people who are just assholes to any given character because they may top their own.
