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.

Concerns?

Navigate:

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

Re: Uninterested characters

[(Anonymous)]

Seconding all of the above. Also, try to look at the character's other traits and you may be able to get something from there - the most important is that the character you're replying to would have something to work with. That way you can actually maintain a decent conversation for a while without straying too much from IC.

For example, I play an uninterested character who is also kind of stupid, so I can play around with him not knowing or getting certain words or expressions. When playing a jerk, getting (true, negative for the most part) CR isn't that hard by constantly being a dick to other characters. Finally, someone with strong opinions will have plenty of reaction to certain topics and certain posts, so you just keep an eye to that.

As for the case of truly uninterested, unmotivated and borderline boring characters... I'm not even sure; maybe try to convey it in a creative way. There may still be little things that matter to them; while wondering what to have for dinner in the middle of a conversation about world peace isn't the ideal way to make friends for the character, it can definitely keep things rolling. Experiment and see what works for you.

Good luck.
