Meme Time
In lieu of an actual update, have an RP meme! Because I felt like it.
1. Where and when did you start RPing?
Shinra's Finest in...what, 2005? Private LJ game. For tabletop, January 2007, in a 50 Fathoms game.
2. Do you RP anywhere other than LJ?
Tabletop once a week, private e-mail threads, the occasional AIM log (none recently though), apping at a Dreamwidth game
3. Do you play in any public games?
Desai and The Sky Tides right now. Actually looking at one or two other places, but nothing certain yet.
4. Do you prefer first-person comment spam or prose logging?
Depends heavily on both the person I'm writing with and the scene. I kind of like chatty scenes, so I lean a little towards comment spam because it's a little quicker and makes me feel less guilty about my short tags
5. What was the first character you ever played?
Asher~ Who I still love and will rebuild for a cyberpunk tabletop game someday!
6. Who's your favorite character to play now and why?
For OCs, either Isak or Ally, I think, though I'm not actually playing Ally anywhere right now. Isak is weird and grumpy and kickass, and Ally is just a little bouncy bubble of joy. For canon, either Rufus or Braska. I love playing with Rufus's different sides, and Braska is a moment of zen in my life.
7. What's the longest you've ever consistently played one character?
For tabletop, Isak is now a year and a half and not dead yet (well, he died once. But it was temporary!). For canon characters, I think Rufus is the longest if you count seperate games - I've played him on and off since 2006, I think? Tseng is the longest at a single game - Desai, since last July.
8. What's your biggest RP pet peeve?
Totally weird one, but inability to format things properly, both in terms of punctuation and paragraphs, and in terms of HTML formatting. Drives me nuts.
9. Do you read RP secrets and the RP anon meme?
I try not to, because it always causes me trouble (me, paranoid? Never!), but sometimes curiosity gets the better of me.
10. If you've played in public before, do you prefer community based or journal based games?
No preference! Though nearly everywhere I've played is journal-based, so I'm used to it.
11. Would you rather play with someone who's very very IC but a mediocre writer or someone who isn't always IC (but not terrible) and a great writer?
Probably the first - I am not an amazing writer myself so playing with really great writers kind of intimidates me.
12. Do you have a "RP partner"?
Not really. I have a few people I do private logs with, but that's about it.
13. Do you ever stalk any casts, games, or players? Who?
Nah, just follow games I'm playing in or interested in apping in.
14. In your opinion, which part of an app is the most difficult/annoying?
Samplessss. Particularly third person. I have an awful time coming up with a good scenario to write about without someone else to bounce stuff off of.
15. Are you one of those people who has to customize their character's journal layout and userinfo?
I don't go really crazy with custom stuff, but I do like making it all pretty. Particularly on characters who's flists I use to follow the game - I'm going to be looking at it a lot, it may as well look nice.
16. What was your first game?
Isn't this sort of the same as question one? Shinra's Finest on LJ, 50 Fathoms for tabletop.
17. Are there any canons you avoid tagging characters from?
Nope.
18. Most memorable scene in any thread?
TURK BREAD. Or Braska and those crazy Shimizu kids.
19. Do you RP sex?
I've tried once or twice but I find it really boring, so I'm far more likely to fade to black.
20. Do you play more males or females?
More guys, though I'm trying to make an effort to pick out non-male non-FF characters to stretch my skills a little. Plus there are some wicked female characters out there.
21. What *won't* you RP?
Smut, see 19. I'm also really picky about multifandom games, because I like a really strong setting. I'm also kind of 'meh' on cracky stuff.
22. Dressing rooms: yes or no?
Meh. I'll poke them occasionally if I'm bored
23. Ever RPed a pairing?
Tseng/Rufus a few times, and very borderline Braska/Auron once. So far, no outside-of-canon ones though TST!Rufus is thinking Tank Girl would be great in bed. Well, and Clow and Yelena are kind of fond of sleeping around a lot (Clow more successfully than Yelena).
24. Favorite place to play: musebox, open posts, public games, private games?
Public games, and private logs (which I guess is sort of musebox? But I don't have an official one yet). Public games have enough new blood and people to keep things moving at a good place, and private stuff lets me do all the silly fluff I want.
25. Talking RP with someone else who plays your character: fun or awkward?
Generally fun! I love discussing characterizations with other people who know the canon well because there's a lot of bouncing of ideas and teasing of little nuances. But if there are irreconcilable differences in how we view a character it can be frustrating.
