Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Maybe it is a little sketchy, but from what I've seen, the mun play these dudes is mad quality, and I'd rather know Tony's going into good hands than worry about a subpar Stark coming into play.

Their Loki sucks, their Tony is passing. Not mad quality.

That's honestly kind of unfair, to imply you'd rather prefer playercesting over giving someone new a chance.

I myself had debated on apping in a character from Avengers, as had a friend of mine (the one who wanted to app in Tony), but now neither of us can properly interact with the Tony or Loki because it involves an interaction that is playercesting. :|

I'm all for good Tonys around (and Avengers casts in general), I just think it's extremely off putting for two central OU characters in MCU to be played by a single person.

Don't sweat it, anon. The anon you replied to is clearly white knighting.

I've seen better of both. Also, a mun playing both a main villain and a main hero of a movie that is breaking records in the box office and has been incredibly popular on D_M and RP in general since its release? Unfair. Mods should have declined that app to give someone new a chance to play.

Mad quality? We're talking about the same person who played Loki as best frands with AU Charles Xavier, and who helped look after Sif the first time she was in the game?

And that's not even really the point. Even if they played both characters perfectly, it's still a problem for them to be playing two main characters from such a popular fandom in a game like Abax. It shouldn't have been allowed.

Don't forget the sudden change to evil by doing EVERY blatantly evil thing. Not even subtle planning and manipulations and plots. Stealing people's things and being made known he did? Killing people with his own hands rather than manipulating others into it? Laughing at everyone openly after the mall failed to return?

How is any of that Loki behavior? That's typical 'I don't know how to play a bad guy so I'm doing EVIL things'.

That's weird behavior given that I think his canon point is early in Thor? So even though he does act more dramatic in The Avengers, he should still be at the point where he's more manipulative and calculating instead of crazed from everything that's happened to him. Going between caring about other people far more than he has in either film, to acting way more over the top than he should at that canon point, doesn't make for a great Loki.

What Abax!Loki reads as is that video of Hiddles going around doing 'LOKI'D'! Doing ~~nefarious~~ things and laughing madly at them for no reason at all and letting everyone know it was him.

Remember when he sacrificed peoples' lives and things to Byron? Why would Loki ever do that? All he got from that was the chance to say 'Hahaha! I did bad things to you! Fear me~' while simultaneously helping the others get the mall back. Neither of those things are ever anything Loki would want. To tease people or to help people. It's just another example of 'I'm evil look at me~' behavior.

Wait, wut? BFF with AU Charles Xavier and looking after Sif? This isn't an AU Loki?

It was only a couple of months ago that he was doing all of this. Then when he was called out on it he transferred his attitude over into what the anons described above about his evil stuff.

Nope, this was OU Loki. He started off in game like this, and then later he transferred to doing really OTT 'bad' things which, like the anons above said, weren't any more in character than the friendly things. If he were being played from The Avengers it would make more sense, but he can't ever be updated to that point.

Ugh. Are the AUs in this game any better?

Well, I like AU Charles. He's got a well defined background that makes him different from OU Charles.

Generally though, I don't have the same problem with any of the AUs, because the fact that they're AU means that deviations in their personality and behavior from their canon variants is expected. In an AU I mostly look to see whether their behavior is consistent, and for AU Charles it definitely is. I will always prefer a well-developed and consistent AU to an OOC OU.

There's 2 Rogues, last I checked, one is 616 canon, one is X-Men movieverse (which I suppose counts), and of course the AU Charles. We had an AU Erik a while ago but they dropped.

Seconding the anon above, I do like the AU Charles if you ignore their questionable decisions (aka Burke). I haven't paid attention to much of the other AUs in game so I can't speak for the Bleach cast at least, but I do like the AU Peter Petrelli.
