A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying: Chaos says "Come back Sakky"

OsakaSun — GMT

This is a guide on realism. Now, I know exactly what you’re thinking:

[i]Why the hell did you make a guide on realism?! It’s a roleplaying section! Half the stuff here is sci-fi and fantasy and whatnot! Nothing is realistic![/i]

Yes. That’s all very true, but that isn’t the exact kind of realism I’m talking about. For those of you who do roleplays with aliens and robots and all that, you can just skip the section on characters if you want to be like that, but you all should read this anyways. I’m talking about the stuff that ticks me off like hell because people can’t seem to make their characters act realistic, or else can’t make their actions within the normal human limitations. That may seem a little harsh, but it’s so effin’ true that I’m wasting my free time to write this guide in order to help prevent it.

So there.

Reading this thread obviously is not mandatory; I can’t enforce it in any way and it is impossible for me to make you read it unless I know you in real life (if I do, you’re dead meat) so I’m just going to ask nicely. Please, please, please read this and spare us all your unrealistic bullsh*t! I promise I won’t hate you if you do!

(I may add a table of contents when this expands.)

[size=18]Section I- Character Realism[/size]

This is one of the most common instances where I see people being wildly unrealistic. The reason for this, I think, is because people want their characters to be two things:
1. The center of attention.
2. The best.
If you think I’m lying, just look at fight scenes (although that’s covered in a later section); people are always trying to win. Or else look anywhere else. There’s drama like crazy because people want their characters paid attention to. Seriously, I’m not lying. Even [i]I[/i] make drama so people pay attention to me. And I’m, y’know, me!

(Note that this section covers the realism of human and human-based characters. Animal behavior is different, unless it’s an anthropomorphic roleplay.)

[b]I-a On Mental Illness [/b]
[size=9]I am not by any means a specialist on these sorts of things, but I can tell you how you’re being unrealistic in this field.[/size]

People always say that you should give your characters flaws so that they aren’t ‘Mary Sues’. That’s very true, but the thing is that too many flaws can also make your character a Mary Sue. Plus, when people thing flaw, they usually think mental illness. Also, I see a lot of noobs/newbs making mentally ill characters, which really ticks me off because they’re so inaccurate.

If you’re going to start roleplaying, start normal, and even if you think you’re ready for mental illness in characters, I’d really suggest that you don’t use it.

Now, I be you’re wondering why I’m covering this issue first. (And believe me, it is an issue.) That’s because it’s the one that bothers me the most, having a touch of mental illness myself, and because it’s horribly overused and exploited. See, mental illness implies silliness, right? It means I can make my character do crazy, stupid things, be the center of attention, and not get in trouble at all!

Well… not exactly. I’m going to show you a few examples of the things I see most commonly and why you shouldn’t be using them for your characters.

[i]Schizophrenia[/i]

What do you know about schizophrenia? Really?
I’ve had a friend confuse it with MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), and I argued with him for about an hour in order to set him straight.

Now, I have only seen people who have schizophrenic characters portray this illness accurately one or two times. In almost all other instances, people use it as an excuse for their characters to be totally random. Like this:

[quote=OsakaSun]"The government!" Willow started to rant again. "They stole our water and now they're stealing our souls! Lightbulbs are bri- K IS FOR POTASSIUM! Get your umbrellas, folks, it's gonna be a rainy day!" Okay, maybe she'd completely lost it...[/quote]

Now, Willow wasn’t schizo, she was just totally freaked out and such, but I see a lot of ‘schizophrenic’ characters doing similar (less funny) things. It’s just not accurate.

Let me guess what you’re thinking:
[i]Okay, if you’re so smart then then tell me what is accurate.[/i]

Well, for one, it’s not MPD. People don’t develop other personalities from schizophrenia. Schizophrenia entails auditory and visual hallucinations (hearing and seeing things that aren’t there), paranoid or bizarre delusions (this is where people go wrong), and/or disorganized speech and thinking. [size=0]Thanks Wikipedia[/size]
That’s common knowledge, right? So what do you know about anxiety, depression, and substance abuse? Did you include that in your schizophrenic character? Odds are you didn’t; you were just aiming for silly, not ill.
But guess what! Schizophrenia is a mental [i]illness[/i]. If you want a schizo character, you need to throw in everything (and throw ‘em in with accuracy!) or else it’s unrealistic and gets on my (and many others’) nerves.

[i]DID/MPD[/i]

Do you know what those stand for?

Dissociative identity disorder/Multiple personality disorder. They’re the same thing. What do they mean?

Split personalities.

I’ve certainly seen this several times, often confused with schizophrenia, and like schizophrenia have only seen it portrayed accurately in roleplay characters a few times. Yes, it shares symptoms, but it’s not the same thing.

Here, before I go about telling you why you’re so wrong, here’s a list of symptoms found on Wikipedia:

• Multiple mannerisms, attitudes and beliefs that are not similar to each other
• Unexplainable headaches and other body pains
• Distortion or loss of subjective time
• Comorbidity
• Depersonalization
• Derealization
• Severe memory loss
• Depression
• Flashbacks of abuse/trauma
• Unexplainable phobias
• Sudden anger without a justified cause
• Lack of intimacy and personal connections
• Frequent panic/anxiety attacks
• Auditory hallucinations of the personalities inside their mind

Now, how many of those did your character with MPD exhibit? Maybe the first one and the last one, right?
Otherwise, the characters are just totally random. You know, they run around doing crazy stuff then act normally and call themselves by a different name.

That’s not MPD, that’s a toddler in an adult/teenager’s body.

Really, I can’t do much about this. What I can say is that, unless you’re able and willing to have such a complex, in depth character that shows most if not all of the above symptoms (accurately), you should steer away from MPD. Really, you should steer away from any mental illness at all.

Most people aren’t even aware that they have it, and it can be fairly hard to detect. Really, I’d suggest you stay away from it altogether; it’s too complex for the average—and even several of the more experienced—roleplayer(s) to handle. (And that is NOT a challenge.)

[i] Bipolar Disorder[/i]

I don’t see bipolar characters very often in roleplaying, but when I do it’s treated just like the previously mentioned illnesses; it’s used as an excuse for random, wild behavior.

This really ticks me off because my family actually has quite a history of bipolar disorder and I may or may not have it myself, so I know a bit about it.

Bipolar disorder is also known as manic depression.
Ring a bell?

Maybe. See, bipolar disorder is not just crazy mood swings. It’s a series of ‘episodes’ that affect people in different ways. There are episodes of severe depression , and other such things.
Really, you should do research if you want to make a bipolar character, because I may say something incorrectly.

[i]ADHD[/i]

Now here’s one that people use very often so their characters can be random. Like with MPD, I’m going to list symptoms:

• Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another
• Have difficulty focusing on one thing
• Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable
• Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new
• Have trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities
• Not seem to listen when spoken to
• Daydream, become easily confused, and move slowly
• Have difficulty processing information as quickly and accurately as others
• Struggle to follow instructions.
• Fidget and squirm in their seats
• Talk nonstop
• Dash around, touching or playing with anything and everything in sight
• Have trouble sitting still during dinner, school, and story time
• Be constantly in motion
• Have difficulty doing quiet tasks or activities.
• Be very impatient
• Blurt out inappropriate comments, show their emotions without restraint, and act without regard for consequences
• Have difficulty waiting for things they want or waiting their turns in games

Now, if you know somebody with ADHD, then that’s fine and dandy; you know the condition better than I do, so you can skip ahead, but the thing is that people with ADHD usually aren’t super random, they’re just easily distracted. That’s a huge difference. In fact, ADHD is often accompanied by depression and anxiety, which means that people with it aren’t happy-go-lucky, OOH A CHICKEN.

ADHD is also accompanied by more than just depression, usually it comes hand-in-hand with OCD, BPD (borderline personality disorder), bipolar disorder, vigilance problems, etc. If you want an ADHD character, you’re really going to have to go more in depth than—OOH ANOTHER CHICKEN!

[i]Depression[/i] [color=red]*New*[/color]

Oh, boohoo! I am so depressed and sad! I think I will wear all black and too much makeup, then go around crying, writing poetry, and cutting myself! I am so emo, woe is me! The world sucks; I hate everything.

That’s what I believe most people think when they hear the word depression. Emo automatically comes to mind. Why? Because we’re stupid Americans. The worst part is that people actually [i]laugh[/i] at the kids who are actually like that. That makes things even worse, makes them even more depressed, and probably drives them to at least attempt suicide at one point.

Why do these misconceptions bother me? Well I got hit with depression pretty badly. In fact, when I was cutting, people didn’t know but they’d point at band-aids on my wrists, laugh, and ask if I was cutting myself. They didn’t know that their jokes were actually correct.

Do you know how much that hurts, to have a problem that everybody is inadvertently joking about?

A lot.

See, depression can come from a lot of things. Stress, bad experiences, mental illnesses, etc. It’s usually about the same, though; you feel like sh*t. You hate the world and the world hates you back. You feel like lying in bed all day and doing absolutely nothing, because if you do something you know you’ll find out yet another ugly truth about our society. You think that, if you just died, nobody would really care. Hell, you’d be doing them all a favor. One less mouth to feed and all that. You get irritated at the smallest, stupidest things. Are people listening to music you hate? You yell at them to turn it off or call it stupid or something. People bothering you? You act like a totally antisocial jerk that just ignores everyone. You get these urges to just take some sort of blunt instrument and bash all the annoying, ignorant peoples’ heads in. You put your head down on the desk at school every day and try to sleep because at night, you can’t. You have nightmares, you hallucinate, you toss and turn, whatever. You just can’t sleep.

That is depression. Not poetry and eyeliner and all that crap.

Remember that if you want a depressed character.

[i]In Conclusion…[/i]

Mental illness is a hellhole of details when portrayed accurately, and incredibly annoying when it’s not.
If you still want a mentally ill character, I suggest you research the condition in question first.
If you want a super random character, then just say that they’re weird and act accordingly, don’t give them a condition that you only know the common knowledge about.

(This whole section may be inaccurate for all I know, so please give me suggestions for changes and additions to it.)

[b]I-b Emotions[/b]

This gets unrealistic as well, you know. People sometimes forget that their human characters are human and therefore forget some things that come with being human.

[i]Fear[/i]

A big scary monster is coming right at you.

You know what adrenaline is, I’m sure; it’s that burst of energy you get when you’re scared out of your wits. It comes with the flight behavior that kept us alive when we didn’t have weapons to fight off bigger, more dangerous animals than ourselves. You may get an adrenaline rush in response to the big scary monster.

Then there’s another reaction. Ever seen a deer get hit by a car? When they see the headlights, their whole bodies just freeze up. They can’t move. That happens to us too (although we might also pi[b][/b]ss our pants as well), in moments of sheer terror, and it’s quite often more common than adrenaline rushes.

So instead of,
[quote]Justin saw the monster coming and felt his heart begin to pound as adrenaline rushed through his body. He had to get out of here. Grabbing Maiya’s hand, he sprinted for the door as quickly as he could…[/quote]
perhaps
[quote]Justin saw the monster coming and felt his whole body freeze up as icy terror crept down his spine. He had to get out of here! Next to him, Maiya was trembling with fear as well, but he couldn’t even coax his hands to move so he could comfort her…[/quote]
would be much more accurate.

See the difference? It’s even more dramatic than running away, too, so I don’t see why people don’t use it more often.

I’m guessing it’s because they’ve never experienced the ‘deer in headlights’ response to fear before. After all, I doubt many of you have been faced with a hungry predator or a man with a gun pointed at your head before.

[i]Shock (The traumatic kind)[/i]

I don’t see shock very often in roleplaying, which is why it’s so unrealistic. Everybody’s characters take huge, lifechanging news and giant bloodbaths (although that constitutes survivor’s guilt, really) and whatnot perfectly in stride. It’s like stuff like that happens to them every day.

Shock, like fear, can be shown in several ways.

Some people actually do take it in stride and don’t react much on the outside.

Others totally shut down, and just sit or stand where they are with vacant expressions on their faces. Maybe they rock back and forth and mutter to themselves as well.

And then there are the people like this:
[quote=OsakaSun]"The government!" Willow started to rant again. "They stole our water and now they're stealing our souls! Lightbulbs are bri- K IS FOR POTASSIUM! Get your umbrellas, folks, it's gonna be a rainy day!" Okay, maybe she'd completely lost it...[/quote]

Yes, I used that example before, but this is actually what she was showing: shock. See, she’d just found out that she was dead; a lost spirit trying to find her way through a forest full of demons so she could get a second chance at life. People in shock usually don’t scream or say random stuff like that, but they often will talk really fast about what just happened and maybe veer off topic a bit, but not as severely. These are the people that you’ll see getting slapped while somebody yells “GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, (WO)MAN!” in movies (or soap operas). If you want experience on this kind of shock, go watch a few horror movies and the most recent season finale of Grey’s Anatomy with the crazy gun guy.

[i]Anger[/i]

Whoa, Osaka! We do anger fine! Haven’t you see—

No. Shut up. You don’t do anger fine, nor do you do the reactions of other people.

What I see when people exhibit it in real life:
(This actually happened)

My Dad: Where’s the remote?
My Brother: *on couch, playing on his laptop* I dunno.
Dad: Help me find it please.
Brother: *keeps playing on laptop*
Dad: Hey! Help me find the remote!
Brother: Huh?
Dad: Help. Me. Find. The. Remote.
Brother: But I’m watching my show…
Dad: *a little while later, after finding the remote. Changes channel*
Brother: HEY! CHANGE THAT BACK!
Dad: I’m watching my show.
Brother: I was watching mine first! *changes channel with remote he was hiding*
Dad: *gets up* Change it back!
Brother: *also gets up* No.
*both migrate to the other end of the room, screaming really loudly about the TV shows*
Dad: *throws chair at wall, shattering the chair* SHUT UP!!!
Brother: *runs away to go cry on the porch*
Me: *scared as hell, peeking out of the room she was taking refuge in before running outside to comfort brother*
Me: (brother’s name), are you o—
Brother: SHUT UP, GET THE HELL AWAY! *starts throwing things*
Me: Calm dow—
Brother: SHUT THE F*CK UP!!! *throws more things*
Me: *runs to the backyard to go cry*

That is a real-life argument and also the main reason I hate it when people fight. Trust me, my dad never yells, and he scared the sh*t out of me when he started up.

The thing is that people fight about stupid things, usually work themselves up to the screaming stage, and then feel absolutely terrible afterwards. It’s called remorse. Also, some people get scared, usually onlookers (such as me in the example) and will probably not try to get the others to stop, rather comfort them later.

In roleplays, I see arguments (fortunately started over stupid things) that get straight to yelling, then maybe fighting. See, people want their characters to win, while in reality the smaller, weaker one would likely give up and walk away (crying, like my brother) eventually instead of resorting to blows.

I remember in one roleplay, this little toddler character was (unrealistically) standing up to an obviously murderous, terrifying character who had a shotgun. The toddler probably would have gotten freaked out and clung to his mom (who he was protecting) but instead he tried to kill the murderous guy. (He was a werewolf, so technically it was possible.) That particular fight, due to the lack of realism, sparked a massive fight in the OoC thread and ended in the person controlling the murderous guy’s resignation from the roleplay.

The IC fight was unrealistic, but the OoC one was not.

But yeah… Unless you’ve seen a lot of fights and arguments (NOT on TV; those are often unrealistic as well unless they’re in soap operas [and then the making up part is unrealistic]), you may want to steer clear of that argumentative character with anger management problems that you were planning.

[i]Love[/i]

Hoo boy… This one is really just playing on what people have seen in TV, or maybe just assume from what they’ve decided love is all about in their heads.

What have I seen?

I’ve seen characters just up and confess their love to another without being nervous at all.

I’ve seen love at first sight. (Highly uncommon in real life, although it does exist.)

I’ve seen—

You know what? I’ll stop right now.

How many of you have actually been in a real relationship?

Not the middle school sh*t—I’m not talking crushes and ‘boyfriends’ and ‘girlfriends’— I’m talking the real deal. Maybe love wasn’t involved; maybe you were trying to find it, but still.

If you’ve had that, then you can just skip this section right now, because you know those feelings. If not, well… random making out occurs, and that’s substituted for the actual emotion ‘love’.

Love is a word that can mean a lot of things to be honest, but the best way that I can find to describe it is that you always want to be with the person you love. Just doing nothing together makes you as happy as you could ever imagine. You don’t need to ‘go out’ or make out or anything, just being there with them is the best feeling.

Love is blind.

Love sucks.

Love hurts.

Love is the sun.

Love is the rain.

Love is a fistful of glitter in the air. [size=6]Music nerd… Teehee.[/size]

Like I said, love is just doing nothing with somebody and having the time of your life.
Now try putting that into writing.

[i]Sadness[/i]

Sobbing uncontrollably seems to be the most preferred way to express sadness around here, and once the person who was crying had been comforted everything is alright again.

Tell me, does that work for you? Probably not.

Ever had a loved one or pet die?

Grief is a form of sadness. You cried, didn’t you? It was horrible. It felt like the whole world was crashing down because something or someone you loved just disappeared forever. Maybe you even got to the point of sadness where you became depressed. Everything sucked. You cried and you cried. The littlest thing would set you off all over again; anything that reminded you of the death. You’d cry yourself to sleep every night and wake up in the morning with red eyes and a heavy heart.

When did it get better?

When your best friend gave you a hug and said it would be okay?

Sure, maybe you stopped crying, but you didn’t stop being sad. That couldn’t get rid of the feeling.

So when did it get better?

Maybe it did when you came to terms with it. Maybe it did when you forgot. Maybe when you found something to be happy about again. Or maybe it didn’t.

Why can’t we remember this when our characters are sad, then? They’re supposed to be people, so why do they just forget about sadness?

I don’t know.

You can fix that if you try, I’m sure.

[i]Stress[/i]

We get stressed out when under pressure. Like, when there’s a huge test coming or you have to do too much work or whatever. Everybody knows what it’s like to be stressed out; you get annoyed with every little distraction and you pull out your hair and everything.

The funny thing is that I rarely see stress in roleplaying.

Remember that time when the fate of the world depended on that one character?

What’d he do? He just went through with it. He may have gotten a little nervous, but if that were to happen in real life I feel like he’d have been pretty stressed out. Maybe people would have encouraged him and he would have snapped at them.

Yeah. When something really important is about to go down in a roleplay, try to show a bit of stress in the characters.

(I’m done with this for now. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions, I’ll be happy to hear them.)

[b]I-c Behavior in General[/b]

This section isn’t going to be long, I’m just going to say a few things.

What do you do when you write your posts? Do you put yourself in your character’s shoes and think about what they would do, or maybe think about what you would do? Or maybe you just wing it?

Generally, things are more realistic if you think about them. Just give it a shot, I can guarantee you’ll get results if you try considering all the details and backstories you’ve created for your character and then think: [i]What would s/he do? [/i]

Or else: [i]What would I do?[/i]

It’s better than just glancing at the previous person’s post and having them just do whatever pops into your head.

(I’m done with this for now. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions, I’ll be happy to hear them..)

[size=18]Section II- What the Hell are you Talking About, Man?[/size]

The section you’ve just started to read covers metagaming and godmodding. These issues, too, come from the need to be paid attention to. People still want their characters to be the very best (*guitar* like no one ever was!) by giving them superhuman abilities and knowledge that they just shouldn’t have. It’s effin’ crazy.

So we’re fixing that now.

[b]II-a The Art of Meeting People[/b]

That section title probably gave away what this subsection is about: characters meeting one another.
Now, I wonder what you’re thinking right now. Maybe that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with how your characters meet? Well, uh… How the hell did that guy magically learn the other guy’s name when they’d never introduced themselves! It’s just like, they meet up, say hey, and then go do whatever it was they were going to do without even bothering to exchange names. Then they magically know it later. Not only is this lazy and ignorant, it’s also technically metagaming.
Ooh, snap. I went there.
It is metagaming by definition; you are giving your characters information from the OoC that they technically did not receive IC. So have them introduce themselves.

(I’m done with this for now. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions, I’ll be happy to hear them..)

[b]II-b How the Hell…?[/b]

I’m sure you get this reaction a lot when you see godmodding. You know, a character does something that is totally illogical, even if they do have superpowers, just to show how awesome they are.

[i]Mortal Kombat™![/i]

The number one instance of godmodding, in my opinion, is endurance. I’ve seen fights go on for pages and pages with none of the people fighting even breaking a sweat. That’s because nobody really wants to lose. But the thing is that if there’s a rule against killing in the roleplay, the characters really won’t have much more at stake than their honor.

So why, then, is it so important to win?

Seriously, tell me!

I’ll admit right now that I never try to win fights in roleplays because, for one thing, I think it’s much more interesting to write if you’re trying to lose. Plus, I’m, uh… [size=6]not very good at fight scenes…[/size] As a result, my characters are often pacifistic and will not fight unless absolutely necessary, in which case I don’t let the fight last long so nobody godmods. And I always leave room for people to dodge my attacks.

That brings me to the auto-hits and auto-dodges: sometimes people just automatically hit the other person’s character without leaving room to avoid, and sometimes people just magically dodge some basically undodgable attack.

Whenever I fight (keep in mind that I usually [i]am[/i] trying to lose), I always say something like this:
[quote=OsakaSun] Piper had unwittingly positioned herself in such a way that she was tensed perfectly to spring, and the personality-- not Ripper this time, mind you-- that was taking control used this to its advantage. The instant Matt touched her, her eyes cleared up and, though they weren't visible at all, her pupils had become more elliptical than circular, and then she growled and literally pounced on him.

Her hands pressed hard against his chest and, with the momentum she'd achieved from that tensed position, he'd likely be floored if he wasn't prepared.[/quote]

See how I gave the person she’d attacked the choice to let it be effective or not? Now, it may have been godmodding on his part to say he was prepared, but that doesn’t matter. I left him a choice.

(He went with letting the attack work, by the way, but ultimately his character overpowered Piper/notRipper.)

Then there are occasions where people make characters designed to be cheap in battle. Take the massive monsters that spit acid and somehow also have teeth on their tongue example. Also they weigh several thousand pounds and can fit in small spaces and—

See what I mean? That’s just plain… myeergh. The thing’s only weakness was that it feared fire and, although it never did make it into the roleplay, the idea of it doing so made me think of godmodding. So please don’t make characters over equipped for battle; it’s not fair nor is it particularly fun for anybody but you.

(I’m done with this for now. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions, I’ll be happy to hear them..)

[b]II-c What You Didn’t Foresee was… I Had It in My Pocket All Along![/b]

The title suggests magical objects that weren’t there before to help characters out in sticky situations, but that’s not all this subsection covers. It also touches on magical knowledge (not metagaming, though), and insertion into backstories.

Here are some examples to get you started provided by my BFF, Cha-Cha.
[quote=ChaosHarbinger]"It was a good thing that she had prepared a medikit in case she got hurt, Laura thought to herself as she bandaged the injury. The whole works was in there, from bandages to adrenaline to disinfectant to gauze. There was so much that there was scarcely any more room in her backpack. Carefully packing it all away, she brushed back her hair and continued walking.

... *** ... ***

What a relief! If she hadn't been wearing that hardhat, the fall would have given her a nasty concussion! Still, at least it didn't mess up her hair - no protection for her hands though. They were starting to get very sore with all the scrapes they were exposed to.

...***...***

As darkness closed in around her, night falling swiftly in these parts, Laura hastily whipped out her lantern and lit it, checking compass and tightening her gloves. A mountain lion roared in the distance, but Laura wasn't afraid - she had carefully sprayed lemon along her trail during the last couple of hours, the pungent smell sure to drive the creature away."[/quote]

See how Laura was magically prepared for everything? This actually happens quite a bit. People, not wanting some horrible misfortune to befall their character (like death by mountain lion), suddenly bring up some never-before-mentioned knowledge or object (or weapon in the case of a fight) that would help them out perfectly in the given situation. That, my friends, is godmodding.

It’s even worse if the godmodding involves the plot or subplot. Like, let’s say somebody’s character is horribly ill with some mysterious, incurable disease. Their whole character is based of that fact, and perhaps their purpose in the roleplay is to find out how to get better.

Now enter character two, who falls hopelessly in love with the sick character and can’t stand that they’re sick, so they use their magical powers or incredible medical knowledge to cure the sick person. Problem solved, but subplot ruined.

Finally, there is backstory insertion. It’s just plain annoying; your character knows somebody else’s character, right? Their character goes off and then starts saying things that your character apparently said in the past. Now, that’s okay if you gave them permission, but otherwise it’s not only godmodding, but essentially powerplaying because they’ve basically taken control of your character.

This happens too:
[quote=Eochaid1701]Another example of nonviolent godmodding: inserting yourself prominently into someone else's backstory without permission.
"So where are you from?"
"I'm from (name of far-off, undiscovered country here). I was banished, and I'm the only one ever to make it to what you would call civilization."
"Oh really? I'm one-sixteenth (that nationality), and I'm descended from the ruling line. Technically, I should be king right now."
"Bull****. We've had democracy for ten generations."
"But it's true, I really should be king (goes there to retake control and godmods again in his attempt to do so)."
[/quote]

Makes you wanna bash the one-sixteenth (that nationality)’s head in, doesn’t it?

(I’m done with this for now. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions, I’ll be happy to hear them..)

[b]II-d What are You Talking About? I Knew that Already![/b]

Ah yes, magical knowledge. This is both godmodding and metagaming depending on the context, but we’ll just call it metagaming for now. Pretty much, your character has not let off a particular fact about their past or perhaps even their thoughts. In no way was any of that information implied, but you made the mistake of mentioning it in your post or in the OoC, and this happens:
[quote]Perry was shifting his feet awkwardly and kept sneaking looks at Emma whenever she was occupied with something else. He thought she was so pretty, but there was no way he’d go near her… Good thing she didn’t know he was watching.
---
Emma noticed Perry looking at her and walked over to him. “Hi Perry!” she said.
---
Swallowing nervously, Perry smiled and stammered, “H-hi Emma.” She was so pretty…
---
“I really like you Perry. You’re so sweet. Do you like me too?”
---
“N-no…” Perry lied. He was just so nervous…
---
“You’re lying, aren’t you?”[/quote]
See? Emma somehow magically knew that Perry was watching her even though the first post stated she shouldn’t have, then she knew he liked her, and finally she knew he was lying. That’s just so improbable, it’s painful.
It would have been much more entertaining for Perry to have stuttered his way into a perhaps oblivious Emma’s heart, wouldn’t it? Sounds cheesy, but oh well.

Then there’s also this:
[quote=Cha-Cha] "It is pitch-black inside the tunnel and hiding a deadly basilisk, which would awaken the moment a light was lit to fix the unfortunate interlopers with its lethal gaze, although the adventurers could not sense it. Yet if they stayed put in darkness, the wraith pursuing them would have no fear of attacking."

"Ever wary of being caught unawares, I cast a targeted spell to restrain any magical animal ahead so that it cannot move a single muscle. Then I light a torch."[/quote]
Notice how it said that the adventures couldn’t sense the basilisk, and yet the other person still cast a spell to keep it from moving so that he could light the torch and also prevent the wraith from attacking himself and his companions.

And here’s yet another example of metagaming:
[quote=Luna_Cat16] OOCperson1: Wanna know something cool about my character?
OOCperson2: What?
OOCperson1: Promise you won't do anything about it in the IC?
OOCperson2: Yup.
OOCperson1: Well, my character has asthma, but she hasn't told anyone.

Meanwhile, in the IC...

Person1: Mary suddenly fell to the ground, her hands around her throat. Her breathing was coming out very shallw and ragged, like something was constricting her lungs. "H-he-elp..."

Person2: John knelt over Mary obviously very concerned about her at the moment. With a bad astma attack like this, she could die! "Everyone! Get an inhaler, or something! She's having an asthma attack!"[/quote]

See how many different ways you can metagame? I know it may be hard to not include a neat fact you learned in the OoC, but it’s much more fun for everybody if you allow the person whose character it is to reveal it themselves IC the way they’d intended to.

[size=18]Section III- Character Types[/size]

Ah, the character. Not only are they the most fun parts of roleplays (for we all know that a roleplay is not a roleplay without them!), but they are often the most difficult to come up with, get right, and be realistic about. We get all sorts of things that (like everything else according to me) are spawned from the (apparently omnipresent) need to be paid attention to. We get Mary Sues, Gary Lous, drama kings/queens, defective robots, suicidal wolves, drug addicts, monsters that are actually teddy bears at heart, you name it.

It’s kind of infuriating.

[b]IIIa- To Placate GrandEnder… Artificial Intelligence! Yay![/b]

Most commonly found in those futuristic space roleplays that I deplore so much, Artificial Intelligence (or AI) is what you give to a robot so that it’s not a Roomba. Essentially, it is an incredibly complex series of programs that gives an artificial being (robot) free will and perhaps even “emotions”.

Now, I generally see two types of AI in roleplays: the Perfect and the Defective.

“Perfect” AI means that the programming is flawless and the robot acts exactly as it should. Now what could possibly be wrong with that? The thing is that humans are very complex creatures, and Perfect AIs act just like them. It would be impossible to perfectly replicate human thought process and behavior, so Perfect AI is therefore impossible [i]unless[/i] there were glitches (there always are) that made it act more human. Essentially, I think that a Perfect AI would follow its programming perfectly. If it was made to protect something? It would protect it [i]at all costs[/i] unless there was something in the programming that would not allow it to do so. In my eyes, a Perfect AI is not a robot that acts perfectly human, but a robot that acts as it should: like a robot.

“Defective” AI is what you get when people like killing machines. Usually, they have huge glitches or flaws in their programming that turns them into something they shouldn’t be. The thing is that [i]all[/i] AIs would have glitches or flaws, and very few if any at all would turn out to be like the killing machines I’ve experienced. The programming for Artificial Intelligence is so complicated that it’s impossible to avoid something that shouldn’t happen. It’s just that those things aren’t usually as drastic as people seem to love making them.

(I’m done with this for now. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions, I’ll be happy to hear them..)
(*coughs* You may have noticed that I totally bullshitted my way through this subsection. Don’t follow it if you know more about AIs then I do; my only source is a humor book about killer robots [which did have legitimate sources, though].)

[b]IIIb- Hi, I’m Perfect![/b]

Ah, Mary Sues. Or Gary Lous. We all know what they are, don’t we? Our lovely little perfect characters who do everything right, are super smart and super strong, and never fail to get on our nerves. Some people just don’t have the heart to give their “totally awesome” character a single flaw, and they end up being so infuriating that every other character ends up trying to kill them but ultimately failing because Mary/Gary Sue/Lou godmods their way out of the situation.

So what am I trying to say here?

Don’t be perfect. Give your character a flaw that could potentially be their undoing. Are they really strong? Make them unintelligent or have low endurance. Do they have an awesome superpower? Make it take up a lot of energy or hurt them every time they use it.

Just be careful not to throw in too many flaws, because otherwise they’ll become an attention wh*re like those characters with all the mental illnesses that always grab the spotlight. People get very bored very fast when somebody’s character is always getting captured by the enemy or getting injured or simply complaining about everything.

A good character takes time to make, but don’t be afraid to try and make one. I’m not kidding; everybody will be a lot happier and have much more fun if you do.

(I’m done with this for now. If you have any suggestions for changes or additions, I’ll be happy to hear them..)

[b]IIIc- …and Now Ah Keel You![/b]

Who here hates psychopathic killers? Raise your hand. Please. Raise it now, so I can see it and yes, I can see it. Is it raised? Good.

Those characters that attack others for seemingly no reason and try to kill them and all that crap are perhaps some of the most irksome things in the whole world. They have no purpose other than to cause harm, no thought process other than “He saw the little kid and threw a rock at him, then laughed when the kid started crying”. It’s just plain annoying.

[i]Nothing[/i] in real life is like that. Nothing. There is always something that fuels those brutal killers we here about on TV, always a reason for seemingly senseless killings in movies and TV shows. People and animals do not kill each other for the sake of killing each other, and they do not simply move on to their next victim afterwards.

Take one of Murt’s pet peeves for example:

[quote=murtagh1135]This is totally random, but since this is a realism guide after all, I feel like mindlessly talking 'bout irritating things.

It really, REALLY pi[b][/b]sses me off when someone randomly has their character eat someone. I'm not talking about the werewolf that can't help but staring at you while wondering how loud you would scream if it took just one little bite. I'm talking about those one liners where a normal human character just randomly EATS SOMEONE. Superpowers, etc. or not, why the hell...?

[quote=Crappy post] Bob went and killed someone. Then he ate the guy.[/quote]

[quote=Crappy but somewhat realistic post]
Still feeling rather sick, Gabriel stepped out of the bathroom. The... thing disturbed him. Would it grow back? How long would that even take? He couldn't bear to think of could happen if anyone knew. This wasn't normal. He'd never heard of some rare disease that had a side effect of growing a freakin' tail, for god's sake!

A small groan escaped him as a boy stood in front of him. Big, mean, with an ugly face. There was no mistaking Bruce. The guy that would stuff your pants with ice and stuff you in the closet to freeze your *ss off. But Gabe nonetheless tried to push his way past.

"Hey, d*ckface! Where you going, lady?" With a grin that could make your stomach twist into a hundred knots, the Big B grabed Gabe's jacket.

In a low voice, Gabe whispered, "Hey, man. I j-j-just-"

Gabe couldn't finish, because The Big B chose then to spit in his face. "What's that, princess?"

[i]Grr.[/i]

Gabe's face felt hot, but his body was tensing. He didn't time for this. The teacher would notice his absence soon. A detention was [i]not[/i] what he needed. This was...

"Answer me, dipsh*t!"

How... ARGH! F... Oh, if only that b*stard knew. How dare he insult Gabe! He didn't want this. He had to get back. Grrr, the little...

"I'm talking to you! A screwhead, just like your [i]mother[/i]."

Gabe finally snapped. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY YOU F***ING *SSHOLE!"

"Or what?" The Big B was sure that the little wimp would- no, could never fight back. After all, he was like a god in the school. A huge, smelly god that would endlessly torture his subjects for his own amusement. Too bad that he was so incredibly wrong.[/quote]

I had to cut out the inappropriate stuff, and info you wouldn't understand without seeing the entire thing.

But see? Gabe's mind is like a hurricane, he has lots of sh*t going on, and he happens to be growing lots of hair, having random toothaches, and did I mention the fact that people are looking less like friends and more like something that doesn't have a thick hide to tear through? It's that sort of thing where veins flash like strobe lights, you can't help but block off escape routes, and your buddy smells like your favorite restaurant when you haven't eaten all day.

It really makes me go WTF when a character randomly eats/kills someone.

And while I'm talking, a police officer once told me that when a man starts to cry, that man is probably going to get violent. Just a random bit of info for you to use.

*takes breath*[/quote]

Stuff like what happened with Gabe isn’t only for eating people; it’s for a lot of things involving violence. Killers don’t just walk up to somebody and shoot them in the face or decapitate them or whatever. They select their target for a reason. Maybe it was somebody who bullied them in school, maybe it was somebody who they had a deep grudge against, or maybe it was just a girl that said no when they asked her out. Either way, there is [i]always[/i] a reason for violence.

After selecting their target, they often make plans. These plans take a long time to formulate; usually the killer doesn’t want to get caught, so they follow their target around and select the best time and place to strike.

Afterwards, there is guilt. Remorse. You don’t just kill a person and think nothing of it. I am not a murderer, but I can imagine what it would be like to have killed somebody. They would have nightmares about their victim(s) coming back from the dead to get them. They would be paranoid of getting caught. They would regret ending a life. The dying screams, the pleading, and the look in the eyes of the person they killed would haunt them to their dying day.

You can’t just walk up to somebody, stab them in the face, and move on.

You just can’t.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying

If you need someone to contribute to a part on metagaming or need any other help, I'd be happy too.

I'm interested in schizophrenia mostly because the inaccurate online tests I take tell me to consult a doctor immediately, which is slightly foreboding.

Anyways, some other symptoms of schizophrenia can include having an idea or thought that you stick to: one person with schizophrenia said he'd heard a message from God telling him to walk in the desert for 40 days without food or water: and after 3 years of psychiatric care, he STILL attempted to do it.

Some schizophrenics are overweight, they frequently go over bad or embarassing scenes from their past in their heads and can often have delusions: they can perform miracles no one else can, they can see things no one else can, they can do things that no one else can.

Schizophrenics are also usually antisocial and I'm not sure but I think some can have irrational fears, but I'd have to get back to you on that.

As for the treatment of it, I'm of no use to you there. I only know a bit about the disorder.

As for "love at first sight", there is no such thing. There is LUST at first sight.

I maintain the belief that love and any form of positive affectionate emotions (such as friendship) are a way of shackling you from your true potential. How many married people spend hours on end at the lab finding cures for diseases? How many more spend hours on end standing in line buying things for their kids? Enough said.

Another note: Don't have your characters pass out randomly. I had one RP where each person had their character collapse when they went offline so they didn't "miss anything". It wasn't a Scrubs RP, where that might've been acceptable, instead we spent half the time running around getting smelling salts. Ugh.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying

MicktheCreator — GMT

Well, i agree a many people out there do stupid things to drain the attention to their characters. I don't want to be rude but; RP are... Usually based upon a fiction. And that fiction is usually as unrealistic as the hollywood movies. Realism is necessary but if you get too real, the fiction/story can get really boring. I really liked your argument example. But i cannot really find a way to put it into a rp (not the ones i play).

A second though... Yeah... Many people are getting too well with their allies. They actually can start pointlessly but "getting the story more interesting"-ly.

Many feelings like love are really hard to be realistic at. Take me as an example. Im 16. Only had a girlfriend once which didn't even feel like a relation ship. Now what do i know about love? Not much. How can i express it here if i cannot even express it in the real life.

Still; you have taken the risk of annoying people and did a good thing. Well done. I hope such lame players will read this. Unfortunately... Most will be so lame that they wont admit these. You might want to show some examples from famous rp's. That would be risky but... better .Many would say "i don't do such stuff" anyway.

I completely agree that people are losing realism with their charries. Some people say, for example (JUST MAKING THIS UP):

She ran quickly from the beast.

Where is the detail in that? Where is the fear? This is what it should sound like, in my mind:

She ran quickly away from the beast, her mind focused on only getting away, things around her becoming quite a blur as she dashed through the forest.

Ok, time for an analogy.

What is fire, without getting to scientific about it?

Well, fire keeps us warm during the winter and lets us cook food. Fire is great, but fire is a two-edged sword.

Fire kills people all the time, it escapes the fireplace, and now your home is lost. Fire is beautiful and dangerous, it just depends on how it is working, perspective.

Love is the same way. I have felt heartbreak and see how it can take all your focus away from more important things. For instance, having a crush on a girl/boy in high school, and getting to involved and you skip out on making a career, only wanting the other person. You may waste your life on that person, and they care little to nothing about you, or the relationship won't last. But Love is also beautiful, look at what Love has done for the world, I should not even have to explain or show examples of how much it helps.

It is about perspective, Love can be good or bad, but it depends on how you use it, like forgetting friends and family and your whole life over one person.

I may have not heard everything right and wrote that whole thing for nothing, but I hope that does point something out without spamming Osaka's thread too much.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying

Coryn — GMT

Oh hey look! I'm back from my pilgrimage at Livejournal and I'm actually posting an opinion!

I read through your posts and this is what I have to say on the matter of reactions. (I hope this helps someone, somewhere!)

Even without medical hindrances in the equation, emotions are complicated. Different people will react to different things in different ways. Whether its more so because of how they were raised, or if the personality was decided upon through genes is up to the player to discern. (I'm talking about the Nature vs. Nurture debate, look it up kids.)

I personally am more on the side of of 'nurture'. That said, this is my thought process when I post something on livejournal now a days:

If you want a character to respond in a certain way to a certain thing, ask yourself:

'Why would they react that way?'

- Maybe the character flew at super scary monster because when they were younger scary monster was in a focal point memory from their childhood. Now that character is older and stronger, he will try and defeat monster and right the wrong in the traumatic experience of that focal point.

Character has a motive based on past experiences. Congratulations, your character is having a logical reaction to the situation!

-Wuzaat? This super scary monster is something entirely foreign to you and it looks hungry?

Dude, unless you have something you think you can defend yourself within your reach I don't think you're going to have any option but flight.

[b]And for those times when you have no idea what that character would do in that situation[/b]: Put yourself into that situation. No, seriously. PUT YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION. That's probably the most realistic reaction you'll get.

All in all though, I think the best guiding light in roleplaying is a combination research and life experience.

[quote=Legs250]Hey, Osaka. Great guide, this will probably become I reference for when I need my characters' emotions to be actually realistic instead of shallow and stupid.

Anyway, in the I-b Emotions section, under [i]Stress[/i]... It sounded a little like the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode [i]Nightmares and Daydreams[/i]. Can't remember the episode number... It was part of season three, right before the invasion episode(s). If you don't know what I'm talking about...

How about a guide to sad characters that aren't cliched and overused? I for one just recently read a book with a sad little dwarf named Geppo and the story was so shocking and realistic it actually brought tears to my eyes and it wasn't even a full novel. Just a quick eighty page thing that introduced the characters set them on a quick adventure, gave a brief explanation of their lives, and killed them off.

"It was a good thing that she had prepared a medikit in case she got hurt, Laura thought to herself as she bandaged the injury. The whole works was in there, from bandages to adrenaline to disinfectant to gauze. There was so much that there was scarcely any more room in her backpack. Carefully packing it all away, she brushed back her hair and continued walking.

... *** ... ***

What a relief! If she hadn't been wearing that hardhat, the fall would have given her a nasty concussion! Still, at least it didn't mess up her hair - no protection for her hands though. They were starting to get very sore with all the scrapes they were exposed to.

...***...***

As darkness closed in around her, night falling swiftly in these parts, Laura hastily whipped out her lantern and lit it, checking compass and tightening her gloves. A mountain lion roared in the distance, but Laura wasn't afraid - she had carefully sprayed lemon along her trail during the last couple of hours, the pungent smell sure to drive the creature away."

Bipolar disorder only really has two moods; one where you have all the energy in the world and you want to do everything all at once, so you join a cooking class and start taking apart your car and call all your friends over and over and over and take up knitting and you feel like everything has to happen, now, or else.... then suddenly you just don't have the energy to do anything anymore. And you're depressed, so you don't go to cooking class. And you tear up your knitting. And you don't talk to anyone. And these can last months on end, and then change suddenly. Both moods, I can tell you, are immensely hard to deal with.

I read through your posts and this is what I have to say on the matter of reactions. (I hope this helps someone, somewhere!)

Even without medical hindrances in the equation, emotions are complicated. Different people will react to different things in different ways. Whether its more so because of how they were raised, or if the personality was decided upon through genes is up to the player to discern. (I'm talking about the Nature vs. Nurture debate, look it up kids.)

I personally am more on the side of of 'nurture'. That said, this is my thought process when I post something on livejournal now ...

Sociopaths are easy - since they have no real interest in doing anything with other people, they almost universally fail every aspect of education, end up illiterate and on the dole, or outright criminals. Exceptions to this are the most dangerous and rarest of the mentally ill, since they must inevitably learn to conceal their sociopathy and thereby pass unnoticed by the rest of society, leaving them free to do whatever they like uncontested for a long time before they are caught.

Exactly. Sociopaths generally lack almost all kinds of emotion, and the ones they do have tend to be more negative, rage, hatred, disdain and so on. Unfortunately, as Chaos said, when you do get one that functions in society they are usually incredibly smart, manipulative people. Truly terrifying. Psychopaths or people who suffer from psychotic disorders like bipolar, megalomania, schizophrenia, paranoia, mania etc. etc. Very different.

Incidentally, if you have the book, I suggest you look up Patrick Hocksetter in "Stephen King's IT" - he is a perfect example of a true sociopath and accurately written. His latent homosexuality and solipsism are merely additional personality elements, not innately connected with sociopathy.

Incidentally, Wikipedia has tagged him as a psychopath, but that is not strictly correct. He displays psychopathic [i]traits[/i], but is predominantly sociopathic.

Whilst I'm on the subject, another good example of a sociopath - identified in the material itself, no less! - is Rorschach, albeit one with obsessive tendencies that have given him elements of humanity. At the core of his character though, is an abiding contempt and hatred for society and its products, even down to those people he tries to call his friends.

How the hell is right.

Most of the time, when I do that whole endurance thing in a fight, I've tried being fair. It's usually not a two-way system, so I just match them, because people almost never use common sense in fight scenes or sequences.

Also, two more things.

First, for ADHD, add 'have trouble letting arguements and/or issues go'. That's another symptom, usually overlooked because adults are like that usually, regardless, and parents just think of their kids as stereotypical teenagers. But that is a genuine symptom and it can become detrimental to you in certain ways.

And also, for DID, you don't lose the memories, they just go somewhere else, don't they?

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Assuming you don't throw it up, that's correct. If you keep vomiting, you can keep drinking with little ill effect beyond what you actually retain. Lamentably, I've experienced this for myself back when I was but an amateur at the task.

shadeofmoose318 — GMT

There's 'stupid' drunk and 'angry' drunk, and 'passed out' drunk. Did I miss anything?

@Osaka: I agree with most of the godmodding/metagaming examples, but for the asthma one if the person was in med school or had an asthmatic friend he might've known. Still, it was metagaming. Could you add a part about how to prepare your character without godmodding? (Ex. Your character is a nycrophobe so before he leaves the house he grabs a flashlight, and then when they're in the pitch black chamber he has a flashlight to use or something like that.)

More importantly, the difference between and Alchoholic and a drunk. I'm about to educate a good number of you.

Alchoholism is a physical addiction. Being a drunk is not. First things first, how do you tell the difference? An alchoholic will never get drunk. It is likely that they will sooner die because of alchohol poisoning. They don't drink to get wasted like a drunk will, they drink due to a genuine physical addiction, with physical affects from withdrawl. A drunk with a high tolerance to alchohol is not an alchoholic either. That is someone who is addicted to alchohol mentally, mental and physical addictions being rather distinct. A drunk will suffer effects from withdrawl, like irritability and such, this may or may not be from the actual lack of alchohol, but probably the lack of the drunk (essentially the high). Alchoholics will suffer the same mental affects without alchohol, but if I remember correctly, they may also suffer siezures, headaches and migraines. Alchohol has become a neccessity for their body and as such it shows in the severest of medical ways at times.

But the reason you're a threat to yourself is because you think you're a threat to yourself. Therefore walrus the guy who gave you this idea is the real greatest threat. Either go after him or beg for mercy.

[quote=Voter]How the hell is right.

Most of the time, when I do that whole endurance thing in a fight, I've tried being fair. It's usually not a two-way system, so I just match them, because people almost never use common sense in fight scenes or sequences.

Also, two more things.

[b]First, for ADHD, add 'have trouble letting arguements and/or issues go'. That's another symptom, usually overlooked because adults are like that usually, regardless, and parents just think of their kids as stereotypical teenagers. But that is a genuine symptom and it can become detrimental to you in certain ways.[/b]

And also, for DID, you don't lose the memories, they just go somewhere else, don't they?[/quote]

[quote=Voter]More importantly, the difference between and Alchoholic and a drunk. I'm about to educate a good number of you.

Alchoholism is a physical addiction. Being a drunk is not. First things first, how do you tell the difference? An alchoholic will never get drunk. It is likely that they will sooner die because of alchohol poisoning. They don't drink to get wasted like a drunk will, they drink due to a genuine physical addiction, with physical affects from withdrawl. A drunk with a high tolerance to alchohol is not an alchoholic either. That is someone who is addicted to alchohol mentally, mental and physical addictions being rather distinct. A drunk will suffer effects from withdrawl, like irritability and such, this may or may not be from the actual lack of alchohol, but probably the lack of the drunk (essentially the high). Alchoholics will suffer the same mental affects without alchohol, but if I remember correctly, they may also suffer siezures, headaches and migraines. Alchohol has become a neccessity for their body and as such it shows in the severest of medical ways at times.

You'd think so, but according to the Swiss Parliament you'd be wrong. I don't understand it either. There's so much red tape that the parliament building in Bern is buried under it. I know not one single person who's ever figured out how to support or condemn national legislation. Last time a Swiss person cast a vote it disappeared into a continuum vortex, and that was twenty years ago. No one bothers because nobody understands it.

Not that it matters, because no one here has actual citizenship. Citizenship requires you to go through herculean tasks that include, but are not limited to, barechest wrestling with a mountain troll. Last time anyone I know tried to get true citizenship they never came back. I later found their cloths in a bearpit in Bern, on fire.

The Gum On The Mantlepiece is a part from a book where someone left gum on a mantlepiece over a fire, so it stayed warm and moist.

People came in the room: important, high class people, and and all came dangerously close to the gum.

But who would get stuck by it? Who would be the victim of horrible ridicule? What if it got in their hair? Hours of mind numbing-

The janitor came and picked it up and kept cleaning.

The Casanova is the romantic interest that has no purpose other than being fooled around with than other characters. No complexity or thoughts, just non stop caressing.

The Gary Sue is the character that luckily carries around a flarepistol, a first aid kit, an inflatable raft, a gun, some rope, several knives, a TV with 4 seasons of Scrubs, and a copy of Robinson Crusoe with him at all times: and the RP is called Stranded and is based about being shipwrecked. Of course, he has survival training, army training, medical training, is handsome, has a 250 IQ and is in peak physical condition.

The brute is simply a steroid-addicted, muscular behemoth that smashes things first and thinks never. Frequently people make the brute twice as smart as Stephen Hawking, which leaves a totally godmod character.

The saving grace character is the one that is pure evil but people think it balances out by them having one flaw. (ex. Lex finished butchering his victims and washed his hands. He left the room and Spike happily bounded up to him, barking happily. "Who's a good doggy?" Lex said happily, scratching Spike's ear. Ah, if there was one thing in this world he loved, it was his puppy dog. He kenneled Spike and got in his car, driving off. Mid-journey, he threw a cigarette (lit) at a gas station and sped off, watching the flames in his rearview mirror.)

The list goes on.

For any superpower RP, there's the generic powered character: flying, speed, strength, fire/ice control, weather.

And yes, there was. He was very disturbing during that time. The word "predatory" and "stalker" springs to mind. His PMs to her were worse...especially seeing as how she was 14 and he at least 19 (or claiming to be).

I'd change your name to Joe Angus (Taken, is my falsebook) and go live in China, where he can't learn about you anymore.

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Eochaid1701 — GMT

Know how he used to brag that there were a million results for his name, and that his privacy settings rendered him unfindable?
To keep that true, then
a) never reveal your full name, and
b) don't trust FB's privacy. Ever.
There were only four results that were people, and only one in his state. It was actually really easy once he played his cards all wrong.

Don't worry, I unfriended him shortly after blocking him from everything, which I'm sure he also did to me.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

That's what made him so effective at riling the mods and getting information. But basically, Colossus began to focus on Sara422 constantly, claiming he thought of her at all times, encouraging sharing of information, praising her at all times - hopefully without ever having actually seen a photo of her - and more worryingly, she seemed to be buying all his crap. This was also around the same time that several of Colossus' first forays into writing were removed for being too sexually graphic...and at one point, he referred to a young male as "an Adonis to me".

wolfji, piePIEpie and Bender19 would all probably remember her, since this was in an RP they all helped in - Mecha 3 -and Colossus' responses to that were "Sara, you already broke my heart when you left, Please don't torcher me :Cry:" and "OOC: She logged on just to torcher me...She doesn't realize it but I miss her with everything that i am.

Anyway, AI work differently depending on what they do. For instance, we had a glitchy AI, So iT AlWayS TaLKed LiKE ThIs. That is, until he got fixed.

When playing as an AI, don't talk like a human, at all. It ruins it, talk like you are an intellectual and you know exactly what you are talking about, usually using big words, sometimes over and over because who knows what words were uploaded to the AI, it might not know it should change out some words to not be repetitive.

Thats my two cents.

I say you should also play without emotions also, or if you use emotions, they are fake, so it should seem fake. Like irrationally getting super enraged over a little thing, because the AI knows humans get mad at that sort of stuff, but does not know [i]how[/i] mad people get, cause it has no understanding of emotions.

In all honesty, it is science fiction to give a machine emotions, most of the Science section agrees, you never give a machine emotions.

Ya, but she has a good reason, all AI need a good reason. Hers, from what I can tell, is she would have to deal with humans a lot, so having an understanding of emotions helps, due to the fact we are very emotional creatures, some of us anyways.

Ya, I know she had real emotions, and look what that did lol.

That is why it is probably better to be an AI without emotions, because realistically I am sure an AI of apathy would not take the crap emotional humans dish out. That, or have a morality chip or something, but even that can fail.

@Osaka:

That is better then actually having emotion. Over in the Science section we have come up with no benefits from having a robot with emotions could give, it would, for what we can figure out, lead to more problems. It would just seem better to never give them emotions in the first place.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

You should do a section on epic characters. Alot of the time they can be kinda looked down upon, but sometimes you could do an epic, utterly fantastical, Lord of the rings-ish character, and I'm sure that there is a right and a wrong way to do it.

If you are looking for ideas, you could do death scenes with a character dying by very painful wounds and saying final words.

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

OsakaSun — GMT

I'll update it when I get the time to write a new section, which will probably be later today or else tomorrow.

And I was considering death scenes, thanks for reminding me.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Lokaz — GMT

I've seen some death scenes in which the person tries a little too hard to make them dramatic. They usually end up looking corny in the end instead of moving. Things like, "I've always loved you" through diffrent variations like, "I will never forget your love," and, "I love you...". Sure, it's sad, but you could at least put in more detail than saying "I love you" in diffrent ways over and over.

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

OsakaSun — GMT

Yeah.

I remember I've roleplayed a total of... uh... I think two death scenes. Peter and Riley/Sno, both in my Bioshock roleplays. They weren't that dramatic, but they were still good. I ought to reread 'em, because they'll probably help.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Lokaz — GMT

I tried out a death scene before, although my character didn't die, but it seemed so to the others. I'm not sure how corny it sounded, but I'll look back at it to see if it really did end up sounding overly-dramatic.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

geekmonkey42 — GMT

I had one that I really didn't like in Atrocity. Of course, it wasn't death either, but randomly exploding and then getting up just fine out of a puddle of molten glass just seems... meh.

There is. Remember that epic characters are up against equally epic enemies and so have no reason to succeed any more than others - the only thing that changes is the SCOPE of their efforts.

Death scenes though...they only become good with practice. Or inverting the situation so that you don't get a chance to die quietly after the action. One of my Havamalar, for example, in the second of the Wanderer RPs was killed quite horribly in the middle of a scene; another ended up nearly dead after a monumental collision with his archenemy that literally split them both open - they kept on trying to kill each other even as their life bled away. As you can see, I prefer inverting the scene to a quiet death afterwards!

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Lokaz — GMT

What would be the reaction of the GM is you randomly killed off your character in a fight scene?

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

ChaosHarbinger — GMT

It wasn't too bad. The first one was a minor character who I had slated for death anyway - and I had others to replace him - and the second was handled with all the care to make the near-fatal experience a memorable and plot-improving one. He lived...admittedly only by having his brain preserved until a new body could be grown.

Hehehe. That did lead to a notable scene in which his voice synthesisers apparently got stuck on his outrage: "I am a brain in a jar." Just that, repeated over and over to the scientist trying to get him back to full health. Quite unnerved him too. Ah, good times had by all then!

If you are just generally killing off your characters though, either have a new one already waiting in the wings to replace them or be sure to have worked out how to make the ending at least slightly meaningful (even if in-story it is a senseless death - they are the best to providing meaning for others to keep going).

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Lokaz — GMT

Almost everything in the story should have some type of meaning applied. If there's no meaning or at least a small purpose to anything in a story, it's just filling up space.As you said, pointlessly killing off characters for the sheer sake of removing them from the plot doesn't serve anything. Now if the character was killed and left a secret behind, the plot could unfold. In contrast, if a chracter was killed and was barely mentioned again, why kill him off at all? Applying meaning will help as long as it actually fits into the story.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

greenducky3 — GMT

Nice job sakky, I could use this info...

You did miss one form of metagameing, that irritates me very much though. I hate it when your character is told something, and the other characters somehow know you were told, or suddenly also know. Here are some examples.

[quote] "Tom! You won't believe it!" Jack said quickly.
"What is it, Jack?" Tom asked, puzzled.
"The Demon! It's gone It opened the gates of hell, and just left!"[/quote]
Now let's imagine a third character, named Hannah, is still hideing in a hollowed out log in the park. Let's say she see the Demon leave.

[quote]Tom went to go tell Hannah the brilliant news. When tom arrived at the park, Hannah was there in frint to greet him.
"Hannah!" Tom screamed.
"The demon's gone!" She yelled, grabbing his hands, and jumping up and down. Wow, she does get hyper. "Jack told us, remember?"[/quote]
No, he only told Tom, but since it was said in the IC, they assume they know. Other times I'll just see someone knowing what your character is trying to do, although your character only acted, no speaky-speaky.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you mainly talked about characters knowing things only said in the OOC, but people knowing things said or stated in the [i]IC[/i] that wasn't told to them, or them knowing of an event that they were not present at, is also a problem.

Although, maybe you did touch some of this and I just forgot... XD

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Lokaz — GMT

You should add a section about people using language in a realistic manner. For example, would you hear someone in real life going around saying "I am good;You are good; We are good; They are good"? It sounds robotic and unnatural, doesn't it? I've seen people not use contractions while roleplaying, even in casual talk. I understand why they wouldn't if it was a debate RP where you're a representative of a nation, but when a player is casually talking to someone, they would talk normally, correct?

Just some stuff to add to Schizophrenia:

Frequently schizophrenics also believe that they have supernatural abilities or powers that no one else has or can comprehend. Seeing the future, reading minds, etc.

Schizophrenics also are delusional, and some may get ideas into their heads and then not give up on them. For instance, one schizophrenic tried to go out into the desert and walk around for 40 days without any food or water. After a year or so of therapy to try and keep him from doing this, he STILL tried to. I am not trying to provoke religious arguments here (I myself am religious) but I think we can agree it's safe to say that he was being delusional and was not hearing the voice of a supreme being.

You mentioned this, but schizophrenics are usually addicted to some substance, whether it is alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, etc, to try and help relieve the severe depression and anxiety that many experience. It's sad, because whenever they binge another 6 pack or tie that belt around their arm again, they are only worsening their condition.

There is a difference between schizophrenics and schizoids, although they do share some symptoms. To quote Wikipedia:

[quote]Schizoid personality disorder (SPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle, secretiveness, and emotional coldness.[1] There is increased prevalence of the disorder in families with schizophrenia. SPD is not the same as schizophrenia, although they share some similar characteristics such as detachment or blunted affect.[/quote]

((For anyone curious about what blunted affect is: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blunted_affect[/url] ))

I'm studying mental disorders, so I thought I'd try to contribute what little I know to help this thread out. Congrats on the sticky.

[quote="ADHD"]

Now here’s one that people use very often so their characters can be random. Like with MPD, I’m going to list symptoms:

• Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another
• Have difficulty focusing on one thing
• Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable
• Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new
• Have trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities
• Not seem to listen when spoken to
• Daydream, become easily confused, and move slowly
• Have difficulty processing information as quickly and accurately as others
• Struggle to follow instructions.
• Fidget and squirm in their seats
• Talk nonstop
• Dash around, touching or playing with anything and everything in sight
• Have trouble sitting still during dinner, school, and story time
• Be constantly in motion
• Have difficulty doing quiet tasks or activities.
• Be very impatient
• Blurt out inappropriate comments, show their emotions without restraint, and act without regard for consequences
• Have difficulty waiting for things they want or waiting their turns in games [/quote]

I'd hate to have OCD. It's only usefulness in a roleplay is to engender sympathy and pity in a character.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Lokaz — GMT

If you have OCD, it seems as if you are under constant stress. For example, if a person with OCD would think something bad will happen to him or her for some illogical reason if they did not do something, such as tapping a pencil twice before you pick it up, or having everything organized in alphabetical order.

I'm requesting it because I've discovered the Quote Bomb's true destructive power. It's so laggy, I can't post a reply to the thread, and it's difficult to even get onto the previous pages.

This is totally random, but since this is a realism guide after all, I feel like mindlessly talking 'bout irritating things.

It really, REALLY SPORE me off when someone randomly has their character eat someone. I'm not talking about the werewolf can't help but staring at you while wondering how loud you would scream if it took just one little bite. I'm talking about those one liners where a normal human character justs random EATS SOMEONE. Superpowers, etc. or not, why the hell...?

[quote=Crappy post] Bob went and killed someone. Then he ate the guy.[/quote]

[quote=Crappy but somewhat realistic post]
Still feeling rather sick, Gabriel stepped out of the bathroom. The... thing disturbed him. Would it grow back? How long would that even take? He couldn't bear to think of could happen if anyone knew. This wasn't normal. He'd never heard of some rare disease that had a side effect of growing a freakin' tail, for god's sake!

A small groan escaped him as a boy stood in front of him. Big, mean, with an ugly face. There was no mistaking Bruce. The guy that would stuff your pants with ice and stuff you in the closet to freeze your *ss off. But Gabe nonetheless tried to push his way past.

"Hey, d*ckface! Where you going, lady?" With a grin that could make your stomach twist into a hundred knots, the Big B grabed Gabe's jacket.

In a low voice, Gabe whispered, "Hey, man. I j-j-just-"

Gabe couldn't finish, because The Big B chose then to spit in his face. "What's that, princess?"

[i]Grr.[/i]

Gabe's face felt hot, but his body was tensing. He didn't time for this. The teacher would notice his absence soon. A detention was [i]not[/i] what he needed. This was...

"Answer me, dipsh*t!"

How... ARGH! F... Oh, if only that b*stard knew. How dare he insult Gabe! He didn't want this. He had to get back. Grrr, the little...

"I'm talking to you! A screwhead, just like your [i]mother[/i]."

Gabe finally snapped. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY YOU F***ING *SSHOLE!"

"Or what?" The Big B was sure that the little wimp would- no, could never fight back. After all, he was like a god in the school. A huge, smelly god that would endlessly torture his subjects for his own amusement. Too bad that he was so incredibly wrong.[/quote]

I had to cut out the inappropriate stuff, and info you wouldn't understand without seeing the entire thing.

But see? Gabe's mind is like a hurricane, he has lots of sh*t going on, and he happens to be growing lots of hair, having random toothaches, and did I mention the fact that people are looking less like friends and more like something that doesn't have a thick hide to tear through? It's that sort of thing where veins flash like strobe lights, you can't help but block off escape routes, and your buddy smells like your favorite restaurant when you haven't eaten all day.

It really makes me go WTF when a character randomly eats/kills someone.

And while I'm talking, a police officer once told me that when a man starts to cry, that man is probably going to get violent. Just a random bit of info for you to use.

Weird why all the words that have to do with killing or maiming finds its way on that list lol. Why they all sound interesting is also weird.

Neon slugzilla leeches are devouring the dew-covered hawthorn trees! Revolt! This mayhem must end before the hazard of their saliva becomes a crisis! Avenge your brothers! Gorge yourself on the slimy flesh of their cybernetic dire wolves before they gorge themselves on yours!

Carnage?

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section II is up.)

Added carnage, streak, and stalker.

As far as I know, the most interesting zombies are those who are more and more human. I've seen the dynamic of eating brains causing them to regain more humanity or memories, make them more human, etc. It doesn't have to be mindless to be a killing machine, but to do inhuman acts to regain it's humanity, it's soul as it were.

I'd imagine something in the realm of single-person with optional control over larger groups. In a future-modern apocalyptic style but with significant numbers of nontechnological people. Probably include other factions such as zombies, aliens, mechanical monsters, rust giants, strangelet horrors.

No. If I wanted to make it myself, I wouldn't be complaining to all of you.

Actually, Aba, I wanted something where we are first-years (sequels could be the next years) and it is after Harry. I want to have all new teachers, the old ones having died. Some of us could make teachers fore the different subjects.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

abasplores — GMT

Please, do. Thanks, Ethan, but I probably won't be too involved as OP. I'll have (near) equal status as any appointed mods.

I'll need help planning and, eventually, modding, because I've never actually completed a first-person RP, much less created one.

So:

Setting: Hogwarts, post-Harry era
Playable Characters: 1st years, Teachers (Second Character for mods perhaps?), ??
Plot: ???

Maybe we should put up a planning thread. I'll go do that, then, if you're not interested in the actual OP position Ethan?

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

EthanAlex — GMT

Whatever you like. Maybe, if we have enough mods, teachers would be only playable by mods.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

geekmonkey42 — GMT

Or they could just be NPCs.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

EthanAlex — GMT

Well, I was thinking that teachers should only really be used during a class, or dishing out punishments. I dunno, what do you think about that? Of course, we would still have to design the new teachers (except Mr. Binns, of course) even if we don't control them directly. Also, I was thinking that we could have the House Cup thing and record how many points are taken and given away from each house. We'd need teachers to give out those points.

And, about sorting, should we have the person say what house they want their character to be in, or will we sort them?

To make it fair, it should probably be done by the GM so that Slytherin and Gryffindor aren't the only Houses with PCs.

And there actually is a planning thread for this.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

ChaosHarbinger — GMT

I advise you to get three mods, have them play a minimum of two different teachers and one student, the latter of which has to deal with teachers run by a different mod when it is time for that lesson. It worked perfectly in Unuhexium's RPs which used teacher-student models.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Da_StrongWill — GMT

... That dude...

He SPORE me off because he would always god-mod, and whenever I tried to do the same thing to point out his unfairness, Eo or Jac would tell me to shut up. Then he would always somehow know how my character was feeling, even though he was totally indifferent, even in his manner.

When I then began to make mine own RPs, or join one anyone rarely joined, he would follow me with intentions of trying to make things better between us. He would then of course, continue in his old ways and SPORE me off even more.

And then he would try to psychoanalyze me and tell me how horrible a person I am, how insecure I am (sure, Im insecure, but of other things than he told me). And I would dare not tell him off because Jac or Eo had already warned me that my next argument meant banning. Furthermore, telling him off would require the use of giving my personal information away, and giving away my own inner workings, which I will not do. I get depressed enough when I myself analyze my situation and who I am.

But, who ever it was that showed him the hate thread, that was going way too far. That was mean. He was a fellow sporumer, and you had no right to do that. Sure, he had his flaws, but we all do, some more than others. He definately did not deserve that, and when I put myself in his position, I almost cried.

So please guys, don't do something like that again...

It was a terrible thing to do, and I felt very sorry for him.

As Sakky likes to say, fo' shame!

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Legs250 — GMT

Thats awkard...

The only real time I ever RPed with him was when he was in the original Werewolves vs Vampires. My characters never actually interacted with his, though... But he did cause many problems with all the other characters, got into an arguement with darkdragon (which caused her to go all depressed and left for a short while [which was about... One day or something... Either that or she just talked about it.]). After all that, Colosuss just quite the RP. I think a paragraph that held an idea he had given to the RP is still in the OP if anyone wants to read it.

I tried to join one of his RPs, which I posted in once... And then I think it just died.

Edit: Woah... Those paragraphs put mine to shame...

I watched the guy argue with Stinky for a long time, in which I tried to remain indifferent... At which point both of them began annoying me greatly.

I planned an RP with him. He asked me to, so I did. Somehow, we ended up with a giant stone castle floating through the sky. Oh, and it houses Robots who kidnap people and turn them into mutants and other bizarre unnatural creatures. Then he quit as I was about to post the OP for some reason.

...Seemed like a better idea at the time.

I believe I RP'ed with him once in one of Pats old threads. He seemed determined to become the largest part of the RP, somehow conjuring up 9 creatures of the elements, all with fantastical power which his character could then harness. Soon after the ninth was found, that great thread died. Quickly too.

I'm just going to put this out there for Unu, as I have very little to no experience with Colossus, was he like an early Hock? Then I can truely understand everyone elses feelings.

Also, you should have taken such huge damages to your population, that simply staying alive would have been a problem. Also, with the Juri, during their development, no-one complained.

Technically, we were all fine with the development of the Juri. What we objected to was having you add stuff to them whenever it suited your purpose. The first engagement with the Calian Drakes had them jumping upwards, for example, to breathe fire - later on they suddenly revealed wings. It was the same power creep, power seep method that Colossus used with his characters. The idea behind the Juri I particularly liked - it was just how they got out of control in the later stages that bugged us.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Oh...I get it now...Sorry

Wolf-Senpai, your getting my races mixed up. The Konks lived for 400 years on average, and grew a special kind of nut that packed most of their needed calories, vitamins ect that they needed for the day. They were masters at cross-breeding and the such, and no-one really complained.

The Juri were a mix between the Konks and the Daemons(That is right, right?) They bred like rabbitsm but did not have the same long life span as the Konks. Instead, they lived for an average of 150 years. They were carnivores, and always hungry. Their main enemy were the Calain Drakes, but I kinda botched that up with my stupidity.

Ah, Unu remembers. Quite the alliance.

They began under the name of simply "demons" however, they eventually developed into the Ha'rak, more intelligent and cunning then vicious, but still with a cruelty strike and some light elemental properties between them. If I could go back, I'd have made them more ruthless and vicious, and probably take out the elemental parts of them, one for water, one fire, one earth, one water.

Never give the AI emotions, and like Grand was saying in a roleplay with an AI, give it on off/on switch that is easy to reach.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

leestriter — GMT

I disagree with how fervent people are on the inability to control AI. The rampant public belief in them going rogue, or not being trusted, already ensures that billions will be spent on overdone and probably unnecessary failsafes, along with extensive testing.

A robot and AI are extremely different, different as HAL 9000 and a Roomba, infact.

People, remember, a machine is lines of code being executed. It may be able to run a simulation of the human brain, but a machine is still rhythmic, constant, more like an insect or more base, instinctual animal then a man. They also won't have random, useless capabilities, their extreme cost shows they would have only what they need to perform whatever task they need, limiting them to probably subhuman, not superhuman intelligence, but instead perhaps more of them.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Imperiex-prime — GMT

on/off switch, that would solve most problems of fear. Them going rogue really is unrealistic, but it makes for cool movies.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Well, if the AI is truly complex, an "on/off switch" would be oversimplying it. Lost data or damage caused by such an action may actually cause what it is meant to prevent.

Hmm, so my roleplay with an AI without an on/off switch actually is a bit more realistic.

Anyways, ya, but still, you can turn a computer off. Just get a good booting program, I could pull the plug on the computer I am on now, the only thing lost is newer data, the core programs would still be fine. Now doing that over and over would probably hurt the computer, but just an every so often thing would not be horrible.

Well the Bulbaro remembered as well it was the same mind throughout the whole thing and it blamed all its biggest misfortunes on your alliance. I'd even say that would be expected. You wound up killing/enslaving more Bulbaro than the shifters or Juri ever did. I also had this sub plot planned where the Bulbaro under mek control would see Vaia, recognize how much she looked like a ving body, and split into two factions one loyal to each. Afterwords I would explain exactly how the Bulbaro were originally programmed and why they only resisted the mek when they were certain they would die otherwise.

I do.

I wanted to have a slave race, and Hock didn't co-operate. Thus, I attempted to obliterate the race. That....didn't work out very well, and led to the real collapse of the RP. To much inner arguing. And yes, the tuba did play a very large part in its destruction. Not to mention silly youthisims, nerdiness and all around sheer hatred for the other player. This was spwaned thanks to the powerful thing known as the Human Brain.

On AI.

-Cannot cross running water (except in canoe sanctified in blood with paddle made from bones of enemies. And a life jacket woven from the hair of the deceased.)
-Are seriously hurt by silver.
-Seriously hurt by fire.
-Are extremely charming and charismatic.
-Must return to the grave by day.
-Requires blood of others to live.

Shape shifting and the requirement of being invited into a house before actually entering.

Anything holy is instant death. Superhuman strength, immune to metal weapons, vulnerable to wood. Also any whip or person named belmont (Not sure I spelled it right...) can kill a vampire.

Yes but then I lose the ability to mess with other peoples characters and scare people with the unknown because from what I've seen you control the cult in general.

Original [i]Stokerian[/i] vampires, you mean to say. The original vampire myths are even more varied at times. Some Slavic stories relate how vampires are actually burned by water's touch, as if it were acid (which is where the [b]Legacy of Kain[/b] games got it from), whilst others tell of vampires that are more werewolf than anything else. Also there are types of vampire even within the same tales - a Moroi vampire, for example, is almost Stokerian; but a Strigoi is closer to a succubus than a Stokerian vampire.

There are vampires in Oriental and African tales that are little more than malevolent gusts of wind or otherwise invisible spectres that feed on soul-energy and emotion rather than blood. The crucifix does not work on them because they did not have the belief of Christ in life - a vampire older than Christ might be turned by an exorcist's prayer in Yiddish, or by the sheer [size=11]GOODNESS[/size] of an ascetic holy man.

If unu doesn't make blackmoon I'll come up with a layout to make this a survival rp where you have only what resources you can find, one mystical ability per character, and your wits. How does that sound?[/quote]

1) I'll make it as soon as I can (A day from now...)
2) The fact you just called it "blackmoon" denies you any right to make a spin-off.

Horror needs empathy. The monster is much more scary because we have learned to feel with the person viewing it. The description is nice, emotion all the sweeter.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

murtagh1135 — GMT

Lee has a point. Some horror movies would be better if the main characters weren't random wh*res that irritate me. Sometimes that just makes the viewer want to see them killed, but then it's not exactly scary. Like whatever the hell that was on tv the other day, I had to smash my head on the couch and wish I hadn't wasted my time.

Take Ginger Snaps. I would easily call that one of, if not The best werewolf movie(s) out there. You just can't help but liking Ginger and Brigitte.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

hockeater — GMT

And that's why it's better in rp form. You're pretty much guaranteed to relate to your own character if you have even a scrap of literate roleplay skill. The tricky part is going to be finding a way to scare you even though you are literate... From what I've seen you could accurately pull of what I like to call a class three psychopath when you feel like it.

Better still if you can empathize with the monster fresh from the uncanny valley.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

murtagh1135 — GMT

I wouldn't quite agree with that. The only person who has scared me in an rp is Coloss, and you can understand why. I'm usually attached to my people, but it's not the same.

You know that they'll survive, and you can complain if they don't.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

hockeater — GMT

How about we change that rule to: They can die and if they do make a new character. More scary for everyone.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

murtagh1135 — GMT

Still a no.

Have you ever had the sh*t scared out of you in the first five minutes of a movie? No? Exactly. You have to build the mood. In an rp, you wait for someone to post. You get something to drink. You eat dinner. You watch tv. The mood evaporates.

The presence of something scary means nothing. In my rp, we're currently mauling a baby. But I wouldn't call it scary, would you?

Well, when dealing with alien parasites, you rarely can be original now a days. And now that your rp has actually started, you can't really tweak them into something more original. Such as, maybe a parasite that made people smarted, more attractive, and over all better, which would inflate the ego of those infected, and have them kill people not because they're controle,d but because they think they're better and that they deserve to get away with it.

Really though, with what you have, it's gonna be hard to be original.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Skip parasites and go for symbiotes. Then there will be people who want to get "infected".

Have you ever seen anyone with those yellow-ish or violet eyes? For that matter, have you ever seen someone with any of those rarer eye colors?

If anyone cares, I got so peeved at not being able to find that site that I just decided to write my own guide on those sorts of things. Currently researching eye colors. After that, I'll skim through various novels, rps, etc. (and my own head, of course) to make a list of words to describe them. I'll probably add examples and my own personal opinions, which includes information on what is typically cliché, attractive, unattractive, etc. After eye colors, I'll move on to hair styles and colors (with plenty of information on hair dye and such), then body types. Dunno what I'll do after that. Might research scales, fur, claws, etc for fantasy races.

It's just a bit creepy to stroll around the park, and ask everyone what their eye color is.

That would be nice.

OMG. Just got an idea. I can't wait till Sakky comes back now.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

murtagh1135 — GMT

On specific songs, I particulary remember American Idiot, The Greatest Show on Earth, Panic Switch, Shameful Metaphors, Another Way to Die, Uprising, You Got Me, Freak, Love Hate Sex Pain, Bodies, Flagpole Sitta, Life Less Frightening, Take Back the Fear, In Snakes I Bathe, and Six Foot Deep.

Coincidentally, Creature Feature inspired the rp. Heavier music made up most of the rougher concepts. Bands like Silversun Pickups, As the Sun Sets, Chevelle, Crash Kings, etc. made up the finer details. The creatures were mainly You Got Me, Panic Switch and Flagpole Sitta. The Deathwalkers spawned from just one line from a Muse song.

Flagpole Sitta and Life Less Frightening made up my character. Mainly Flagpole Sitta.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

caryon1 — GMT

Did you see the play, American Idiot? Yeah, there's a play. My mom and my older sister went to go see it. Basically, its a show to Green Day music. When Sakky comes back on, I've got an idea that came from me listening to Comfortably Numb, but Another Brick in the Wall would just be a perfect theme song for school. On the Run is also a little bit of inspiration for whats to come.

I can't believe what kind of cr@p people listen to nowadays. I mean, Green Day isn't cr@p, but Justin Beiber definately is. Anyone can make a song out of the word 'baby'.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

I'm just going to go out on a limb here, but does anyone else listen to Video Game music while writing posts? I feel music that was specifically made to emphasize on a certain emotion/mood can really help. Also, they can really help if you want to go for a sad theme.

Not to mention music from anime, that being the original Japanese soundtrack.

Holy crap yes, video game music is perfect. If there is vocals in the song, it kinda screws it up for me when I want the emotional and sounds of the song, not whatever the crap someone is singing. KH game music, specifically the boss songs, are by far the most of what I listen to for roleplaying.

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Krane_2000 — GMT

If you want a good vocal song for saddish moments look up Slave Maria- Peace be With you on Youtube. I would post it here, but too many videos on the one page creates the page lag.

[quote=Krane_2000]Ah, but that breaks every single rule Shade. Thats metagaming, god-modding, auto-hitting ect.[/quote]

In that particular situation, most people would have a FIRM grip on the gun, and would be so trigger happy they'd likely blow out all six rounds (or five, or eight, whatever) as soon as someone twitched. It's not like the action movies where the heroes can magically dodge everything.

At least put something like, "He lunged wildly for the gun, flailing to try and knock it out of the assailant's hand."

I think that it shouldn't really be considered autohitting if you have a gun or some other weapon and you hit someone with it, you know what I mean?

In real life you can't dodge sniper fire or duck when someone puts a shotgun to your skull and pulls the trigger. Sure, maybe a really quick, really lucky person could, but the odds are against you.

Or at least let yourself get shot in say, the foot, where it is excruciatingly painful and hindering, but not lethal (for now)

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Legs250 — GMT

Shade, Ninja's characters have dodged things that shouldn't be dodgable (knives at really close rang being sliced upwards/downwards, longswords being swung vertically at close range, etc, etc) many times before. He's dodged harder things than bullets before.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

shadeofmoose318 — GMT

Nothing bothers me more in an RP than people losing sight of what's important and placing the value of their characters over the RP itself.

Think: people die in books in movies. If the bad guys got to choose whether they got killed, NO ONE would ever die.

You should be willing to let your character die for "the greater good" of the RP.

Death and loss makes all sorts of tension, and it can really accelerate a plot.

You build a city full of buildings, each with their own effects on the city. You can also build up an army of a variety of different units, and hire heroes to lead those units in battle.

Its an interesting game, even without buying their 'diamonds', which 'enhance' the game.

I was thinking of [i]perhaps[/i] joining a roleplay that isn't mine, but they all are too fast.

What I need is a roleplay that grows barely one page a day and is fairly new (under 10 pages)

It's too bad things have changed since I first joined. Ah yes, those were the best. Back then, if a roleplay grew more than two pages a day, it was considered the kind of roleplay which was for babies and one-liners...

Kind of like what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works were seen as in it's day.

Now look at it.

I remember it was the eccentrics who joined roleplays such as "Wolf Clan RP" which was on pg 200 in it's first week. Have in mind, I was one of the eccentrics, and I remember being quite irate at the fact that by the time I could type up a normal response to a post, there were already three before me.

Even fast moving roleplays have huge posts in them. I would like a slower one, I do not feel like readin pages upon pages to figure out whats going on because no one will give me a summary.

When I saw that roleplay, I thought it meant Terran's from Starcraft 2 lol.

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

wolfji — GMT

Terran is just a pretty common name for humans in a sci-fi setting. After all, aliens in sci-fi settings usually tend to have their race's name be after their planet, like Martians, so humans, being from Terra, or Earth, are Terrans. Though, I'm fairly certian most everyone here knew this, including you.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying (Section III added.)

Imperiex-prime — GMT

Yes, I have heard the Terran word thrown around. I meant it came out at around the sametime as Starcraft 2, and I was wondering if someone was trying to make it a roleplay.

Okay. It's called Empire of Dirt, and based off of a short story I read. Basically you play as either a doctor or a patient in a mental hospital. This is Ward 7, a section dedicated to the study of a new category of symptoms that has risen up. Basically, the patients in that area all have the delusion of having some sort of special ability or superpower, or something else that sets them apart from others. However, you have to actually Roleplay your patient as if they really do have powers. Sometime later on an interesting thing will happen, 'cause just that will be too boring.

I just meant that I'd have trouble coming up with a look for you.

Also, if some one can find some good sprite sheets/sprite backgrounds/sprite stuff in general, send 'em my way.

Well, I'm sure to figure something out.[/quote]The color. And a fox's tail is bushy. A cat's isn't.

Bushy. Make it a little wider. And make sure it's normally pointed down, while a cat's tends to be perked upwards. Well, a house cat's anyway...

[quote=OsakaSun][quote=ChaosHarbinger]I have a slight suggestion Osaka, especially as regards the Mary Sue/Gary Lou part of your guide. You see, before ColossusEpic left the Sporum, a number of us gathered together a selection of his most phenomenal idiocies in character creation and playing, but didn't get the time to pass it onto him as a gesture of "Fcuk you" before he vanished. I can provide the full lot COMPLETE WITH LINKS AND COMMENTARY for you...

Matter of fact, check your PMs Sakky.[/quote]
Thank you for that. Thank you very much.

I'll probably add it once I get the chance to be on the Sporum for more than a few seconds. Apparently getting all of my homework done isn't all it takes for my mom to let me use the internet. [/quote]

You wouldn't if you knew what he started to d before he left. I mean, he was kinda hitting on Jac, trying to get Jac to ban me from all of Jac's rps, and... there was the incident...

I still only have a little to go on Colossus, but from what I saw personally, he was a man that loved to start things, then throw the blame of starting it on someone else.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Times soap operas are mentioned in the guide: Two

Luna_Cat16 — GMT

I let him in my RPs for a while, but that was back when I was more innocent and didn't know how he could be. Then I started to realize his annoying tendencies to be overly important to the plot.

"Hey! Can I use my character's ability to absorb the powers of the main villian and defeat him, thus ruining the whole plot?"

Yeah...I would have none of that...Still, I was too nice with him, and I regret it.

Since my earlier RP'ing days *winces* I try to steer clear of romance. It was the only thing I knew how to write when I started, since someone PM'ed me and asked if I would mind my character and his being in a relationship, so I just stuck to what I knew.

Thankfully, I stopped being so freaking bad and started to learn how to write fight scenes, different characters, etc. My heartfelt apologies goes to whoever put up with my first 15K posts or so.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Times soap operas are mentioned in the guide: Two

I think I should.

It's more of a kid disorder, and I've never seen it in an RP...but it's a Defiance Disorder, where the child has a near obsessive impulse to disobey authority at any opportunity. It isn't just your rebellious teen, it's throwing tantrums...talking back to adults...mouthing off...anything to get into trouble.

That would be very amusing. But the disorder itself, from what I read, is actually pretty bad. In fact, the main character in the short story based off of it has the same problem. He also thinks he's a werehyena, but we don't need to talk about that yet...

That would be hilarious.

Better that he doesn't really. Matter of fact better if I can get chaos to not talk and maybe get one of you to allude that something is going on once he finishes his part.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- "Could of" is not a thing. It's "Could've" or "Could have".

Nope.

The main character is possessed by the demon of a girl who allowed herself (and even wanted to) be raped, stabbed, and murdered after her lover butchered her family (who he constantly tormented because they did not allow her to be with him). Only way to tell which person is currently using the body by simply looking is that the dead girl, who I can't think of a name for, pushed her fingers into her eyes so she wouldn't have to hallucinate. I'm not interested in looking at photos of this sort of thing.

[quote=BurntCrow]That's certainly a different slice of story.

Talking realistically?

Well, your eyes can move in their sockets somewhat, but not as much as say a cougar. Their eyeballs REALLY move around.

Anyways, it would probably damage your eyes, if not causing you to go blind, or go through excruciating pain, going blind or not.

I am sure if you pushed hard enough, it would probably damage your eyes, or get so painful you would not be able to get to the point of damaging them.

This is all guesses, I don't idea exactly what would happen 100%.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- "Could of" is not a thing. It's "Could've" or "Could have".

Going blind is sort of the point.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- "Could of" is not a thing. It's "Could've" or "Could have".

Imperiex-prime — GMT

Well, it could cause you to go blind I guess. Your eyes are very sensitive, little spheres full of nerves, neurons, liquid. So I am sure with the proper force, without bleeding eyes and everything, you might be able to go blind that way. It would hurt like crap, beyond that, but yeah, it could work that way. If not, losing two eyeballs is not so bad.

A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- "Could of" is not a thing. It's "Could've" or "Could have".

Actually the eyes don't have many nerves if any at all. I think I read that somewhere, anyways...

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- "Could of" is not a thing. It's "Could've" or "Could have".

BurntCrow — GMT

[i]Might[/i] go blind? No offense, but I would think that shoving your fingers into your eyes with the intent of crushing them (mm, watermelon) pretty much screws any chance of you seeing anything.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- "Could of" is not a thing. It's "Could've" or "Could have".

Imperiex-prime — GMT

Well yeah, only a few for actual eyesight, but it is extremely sensitive. Notice a particle of dirt does not cause pain anywhere else other then your eye.

So it would be extremely painful to inflict self blindness, but I am sure this demon girl thing is tough enough for that.

@Burnt:

Yeah, if you crush your eyes. Shoving your fingers in your eyes will not just crush them instantly, notice a lot of people shove their fingers into peoples eyes in self defense, and it does not always lead to blindness. If you crush your eyes, yes, you would go blind without a doubt.

Everytime Sakky isn't happy, a spammer gets unbanned. That's how unhappy everyone else is.

Why exactly ARE you insulting me just for my effin' SIG?!

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Hide the knives; Sakky's depressed again.

'Cause it very much shows the influence of your idiotic Female Overlord crap.

Fine, I'll change it if you are too serious...

I only put that there ao everyone could see it and that I wouldn't constantly have to say that I am female. Now shut up about it, okay?!

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Hide the knives; Sakky's depressed again.

Least most of my post aren't meanless crap.

I don't feel peachy today, sorry.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Hide the knives; Sakky's depressed again.

jch2897 — GMT

And when have you been so peachy, towards me anyway. And listen: When I made BE I had little roleplaying experience, I didn't know what an OOC was and thus didn't make one.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Hide the knives; Sakky's depressed again.

irishpirate262 — GMT

I know, you were a little noobish and that's fine, one RP I joined (which I loved) didn't have an OoC 'til two thirds in, but is was awhile after you were basicly as experienced as you are now to make a OoC.

If you ever did.

WHenever I talk to you Jch, I am pis[b][/b]sed, or most of the time.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Hide the knives; Sakky's depressed again.

jch2897 — GMT

Right, and the hate towards BE, I understand it fully, but BE isn't a spamhouse full of idiocy and a completely no-sense plot. It was an attempt at an idea that slowly turned towards something more, and it is regarded as a crappy roleplay because of something like one-liners, but flaming ME for that is just wrong!

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Hide the knives; Sakky's depressed again.

irishpirate262 — GMT

Jch, that roleplay idea had potential, but you made a critacal mistake that I hope you figure out: There are some people you want in your thread, and some you don't.

N00bs and people like Spinus are no.

Roleplayers that you have seen Roleplay good and have "grammer", are a yes.

Rules such as +3 lines per post, 'cept dialouge are good also.

ALso, [b]RP's die.[/b] Not live forever so you can drag 'em on like...

Like Narnia.

Re:A Guide to Realistic Roleplaying- Hide the knives; Sakky's depressed again.

jch2897 — GMT

And you think I didn't know that?!

I know you are talking about Pluck, Spinus was (slightly) different. As for noobs, they gain experience over time.

I'm not even gonna answer anything else. I tried as hard as I could in making and keeping that roleplay on check, but as it seems I didn't do that good of a job. What's your satisfaction in that? That in every thread I pop up, and some hater is there, they bring it up and instantly go into details on my flaws.

God d*** it. Would everyone stop hating BE because it doesn't stop? It's evolved. It reincarnates with new plots.

We have short posts. We don't go 'Lol I hav 10000 postz omg', and I get that you hate RPs with short posts, but sometimes there's stuff to right, but not a lot.

And we didn't want Spinus, but you have the prblem where it's like a playground game, kicking people out is a no-no. And we can't kick him out because of grammar really, because you have a few people with not the best grammar and stuff in BE, but because of medical things (Dyslexia, for example).

We did NOT accept spinus eventually. We kicked him out. He didn't take the hint, and thought we would just accept him back eventually. Now he knows.

And where do n00bs go then!?
Think about it. When a n00b makes an RP, what's the immediate response?

'Join an RP before making one.'

They need somewhat of a middle ground thing. An RP where you don't need to mave massive plots planned out beforehand just so you can post.

So does Narnia, so does all the back watered series that drag on.

So? You have 13,000 somethin' posts from basicly a single RP.

Somethin' wrong.

Play ring a 'round the rosie then.

Make him take the hint with SMSlime.

Do you know how SPORE confusing some of the RPs I joined were? It improved me better than the other ones.
