Rundown: [community profile] 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. It doesn't look like DW can handle 5,000 comment entries at the moment so 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.

Yes if it's prose, no if it's brackets. I like brackets, don't get me wrong, but the short descriptions brackets tend to favor wouldn't work terribly well without some kind of icon imagery, IMO.

yeah, my style's more on the side of prose. i know what you mean about the short descriptions brackets.

actually i have another question. what games would be good for non-fantasy ocs? i've been trying to shop around but a lot of the games i know of that accept ocs, like luceti or the pokemon game or whatever, don't really tickle my fancy because they're too on the side of fantasy/animanga.

a few of the newer games accept OCs — i know exitvoid does, exsilium, ataraxion, asgard eventide, abax (i think), new babylon. i think labyrinth might do, but don't quote me on that. as for older games, poly does. maybe one of those would be more suitable?

Abax does accept OCs. Got a few of them already.

That depends which type of Pokemon game you want to join, anon. If you are interested in playing canon or original characters unrelated to Pokemon in a Pokemon universe setting, I suggest Route-29. Characters from worlds where nobody has ever heard of pokemon get sucked to Johto, go train pokemon and collect badges, etc.

If you're looking to play Pokemon OCs in a Pokemon game however there doesn't seem to be anything around at present, though Pokedressing's mods have confirmed they will be making a DW mirror, and there are rumors of an all-OC pokemon game in the works (fingers crossed for that).

Route_29 doesn't accept OCs, though.

Not even going to bother anoning because I'm one of the few people who play an OC at [community profile] united_one, but I've actually had a real blast with my OC there. Since she's a completely normal girl with no powers or anything from the regular old real world, I didn't think she'd fit in well, but it's actually been quite fun. And if that doesn't tickle your fancy, I see a fellow U_O-er down there, so might as well second their note that we take OCs (fandom and totally original). ;;

In the same situation myself, so that's one person who definitely would... either way give it a try, what's the worst that could happen?

just a personal preference because I'm shallow, but if I did this I would just set a relevant pretty picture as the default. it would also make the journal look more like it was actually being used.

I will tag somebody with a single icon. But an account with no icons at all looks incomplete to me, and to be honest, I probably wouldn't tag you.

Re: ORIGINAL CHARACTERS

(Anonymous) 2012-02-13 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
why can't you find icons?

Re: ORIGINAL CHARACTERS

(Anonymous) 2012-02-13 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd tag you. It seems pretty shallow to me to not tag someone just because they have no icons.

Icons aren't this important, people. Most of the time it's just a generic white guy model anyway, yawn. I usually don't even look at those, they all look the same after the sixth OC.
