Whoever I feel like being at the time really.

5. What aspect(s) of your personality seems to shine most prominently through your characters?
I do Introverted Nerds, Tryhards who want be cool, Monsterous Killers and Smooth Operators. I as a person don't have too many defining traits that last long or don't change depending who i'm with at the time.

All are human other than that though I'm whoever seems like a good character at the time. I try to make characters nobody has yet so if most of everyone's the cunning and logical thinker person i'm the ruthless bloodthirsty killer. The only thing I can't do is make a character purposely dumb or at least it's something I haven't sone yet.

1. When did you first start roleplaying?
I started roleplaying in high school but it wasnt anything serious. Mostly chat based jokes me and my friends would text each other with our ocs or fictional characters. I didn't start actually paragraph role-playing until about a year ago?
2. How did you find out about rps?
Just by like... being on the internet? I dont know I found them on deviant art when I was like 8 but I never had the courage to ask anyone to rp with me until freshman year. Usually I would just create OCs and stories instead.
3. Has roleplaying effected your life in any way since you first started?
lol I find myself wanting to talk about my OCs with everyone and try to convince my irl friends to get into it. Other than that tho not really.
4. What factors/interests have the biggest influence on your roleplaying/writing style?
Uh I don't know? I really like fantasy? So all of the rps im involved in now kinda are somewhat fantasy themed.(that being the big old number of 3) My writing style is kinda all over the place, I would assume its a mix of what I read and how I talk?
5. What aspect(s) of your personality seems to shine most prominently through your characters?
I'm really awkward and nerdy. I try super hard to make some characters NOT awkward or nerdy but I always fear I failed considering I suck at being "cool" or "flirty" I do have a lot of varying OCs with distinct personalities, stoner delinquents and excitable introverts and student freedom fighters are just some, its just a paranoia I have that my awkwardness will bleed through lol
6. Do you have a common trend in character creating?
I don't know if this is a common trend but I tend to make them have close nit relationships. Ether found family or actual family. In the creative prossess I noticed a lot of my absolute favorite OCs used to be kinda a joke until they stole my heart and I expanded on them. Ironically I also noticed a lot of my OCs are ether the naive trusting type at their core or someone who is involved in not so innocent stuff.

 

[Nilum]

1. When did you first start roleplaying?

Twelve years ago... Damn, I'm old.

2. How did you find out about rps?

I grew up delving through Dungeons & Dragons books in my Dad's basement. Then I started playing online games, and encountered role playing online via Warcraft 3. Soon after, I joined my first forum role plays, and made some of my own.

3. Has roleplaying effected your life in any way since you first started?

Certainly. It's allowed me to live in the shoes of other people, and ponder life from their points of view. It's also given me a lot of good friends via association with the hobby.

4. What factors/interests have the biggest influence on your roleplaying/writing style?

A general fascination with fiction, politics, history, philosophy. To a lesser extent, religion, ethics, and romance. Science fiction television has had some pretty significant impacts on my thought processes concerning writing. My personal experiences, and the personal experiences of others, are also interesting to me and shape how I write via shaping how I think.

5. What aspect(s) of your personality seems to shine most prominently through your characters?

None of them. I've been GMing long enough that I'll write wildly different characters. Some are domineering, others are meek. Some are violent, others are pacifistic. Some are compassionate, others are cold. Some are bright, others are dull... But then I've been doing this for twelve years now, so...

3. Has roleplaying effected your life in any way since you first started? Well it has had some negative impacts but also some positive.

4. What factors/interests have the biggest influence on your roleplaying/writing style? My written style is either text format or book style 3rd person.

5. What aspect(s) of your personality seems to shine most prominently through your characters? I think what shines is my loyalty to my friends which is a good trait in a good character and myself.

6. Do you have a common trend in character creating? (Ex. most of my characters I create are hybrids with strong animalistic behaviors. It doesn't have to be that extreme, it may be something as small as creating characters with similar clothing styles). i've had made mutants, wizards, elves fairies you name it.

 

[Drakey]

1) At least five years

2) just sorta came across them and go trapped within the awesomeness of it all

3) It has helped me to focus on tasks at hand by giving me an outlet for my creativity

4) The role play in question would be what determines how I rp. Though I must say that I am always trying to throw the rp off track.

5) awkwardness in social situations and relationships

6) typically long coats are a favorite of mine, however I have been working really hard not to fall into making super similar characters.

6. Do you have a common trend in character creating? (Ex. most of my characters I create are hybrids with strong animalistic behaviors. It doesn't have to be that extreme, it may be something as small as creating characters with similar clothing.

Answer six: Yeah My Hybridistic Characters were the ones from 2008 to 2013. And from Then, they all formed and joined a Coven called the BMC/Black Moon Cafe. Which had disbanded, and they all had a uniform and sigil as a tattoo on the upper and inner left forearm. The atttire was a black v-neck with a black jacket with a goldenrod zipper, and Chibi Hazama (from Blazblue Franchise) buttons, with Black pants with, Yuuki Terumi Chibis in various emotional poses on the pants...Skinny jeans, they were black skinny jeans.

Also the sneakers were the only choice of free will hahahaha. They were stark white and red laced sneakers with the RP layout logo/motto on them. (flaming pentagram) The wea shall most definitely perish..... (line break) Because only the strong survive. (Aquatic pentagram) (there was even a secret entrance!)

After the disbanning of the Coven, there was a temporary, Reunion which lead to another departure and now in 2017...The new Characters are part of another Coven, called A guild. Named by The new Leader. Lonny Asterik. Comet Immolation Le Fourth. There is no uniform, just the guild itself.

Nope, I was a creative introvert then, and I'm still a creative introvert now.

The setting of the RP, my emotional state and how tired I am.

Face-claims, I always start with those first then build my character from that​

 

[budgiebird]

1. When did you first start roleplaying?
About when I was 9, though I obviously wasn't very good at it back then.

2. How did you find out about rps?
Through the ROBLOX forums.

3. Has roleplaying affected your life in any way since you first started?
Yes. Ever since I discovered the role-play subforum in roblox, I've been sort of obsessed with role-playing. It's taken quite a lot of my time, though most of the role-plays I have been hasn't really gone on longer than a week. I still really hold the roleplays that do deep in my heart, though. Now that I'm an older teen, and legally an adult, I've been struggling to enter back the role-playing hobby.

4. What factors/interests have the biggest influence on your roleplaying/writing style?
Oh god, I wish I knew what my influences were. I... admittedly am not that great with writing, as I have practiced art much more than writing. I'm actually kind of insecure about my writing, so I can't really particularly name a decent influence on my role-playing style. I'm a pretty edgy person, so I guess that could be considered one...? I do enjoy being a part of and seeing conflict in role-plays though, and I wish I have been in more rivalries and fights in RP than I have been.

5. What aspect(s) of your personality seems to shine most prominently through your characters?
Most of my characters I used to play were either seriously flawed, aggressive people, or intentionally and horribly cringe. I don't know why, but I just find those kinds of characters fun to play?

I feel the main part of my personality that I tend to put in my characters is oversensitivity, mostly anxiety, and the inability to ever think things through.

6. Do you have a common trend in character creating?
Yes. Most of my characters, by complete coincidence, is female.
