Ja stimmt. I agree completely.

Making something different doesn't automatically make it good, and cliches aren't bad things as long as they aren't hurtful stereotypes. Though I probably wouldn't accept it in favor of better characters. If I had a roleplay and I was accepting character applications, I'd look at the deeper...

Mary Sues don't really bother me, honestly. It's annoying when everyone else has well-developed and meaningful characters, but at the end of the day, it's still someone's creation and it should be respected. Even though it was created out of misguidance and the character itself is completely...

I don't like characters who are mute. Dialogue is an important aspect of a successful story, so when it's absent, silent characters can only interact with others half as much as they interact with them. Also, they tend to be objects of pity and woe--having 'tragic' pasts that led to their...

I voted second to last option, only because I don't think explicit material adds anything to the RP, but I'm not completely against the idea of gory text. It is also illegal to engage in online sexual activity with a minor, and I don't really trust everyone's given age until I've spent time...

I use persistent human characters, though I make sure I don't carbon-copy them into every roleplay. I tweak minor things like their appearance or history that's appropriate to the RP's environment, and time period. Very few of my characters have complete backstories, but quite a lot of them...

Deputy Diana Roeser, NYPD 1. "The name's Roeser. Don't wear it out." 2. "I want to defend and serve the people. It's in the job description." 3. "Ideally, a good evening is spent asleep in my own bed." 4. "What's the difference?" 5. "Forsaking my father to carry a gun instead of a purse."...

I like mystery, historical, fantasy, and even slice-of-life on occasion. Mystery because I love solving and creating puzzles and seeing how the characters can react in certain situations. Fantasy because of the sheer amount of creativity and world-building it can contain, without having to...

Of course, you can't describe the emotion in eyes in text as well as you can when looking at a real person's face, thus my irritation with people trying to do so. I don't doubt the feelings that can be expressed in eyes--just the ability for people to replicate that in text.

Using "orbs", "optics", or "gaze" instead of "eyes". Orbs were once a term used to describe breasts. "Her soft, pale orbs glistened in the moonlight." Context. Optics is not and will never be a word for eyes. It is the study of how light behaves. Gaze is a verb. Why do people always have to...

For me, the worst things are creating characters just to hook up with someone else's character(s).
