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.
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.

Re: Child Characters
(Anonymous) 2013-02-11 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)I guess in general though... don't play them too young. You are playing a preteen, not a toddler. I have seen far too many people play 10-12 year olds like they're in the 4-6 year range. A preteen is usually not going to be doing baby talk or overly cutesy shit unless their doing it on purpose. Maybe they mispronounce or misuse words they are unfamiliar with, but that's only on occasion.
This is also a time when kids start noticing the opposite sex and exploring sexuality. I'm not talking about makeout or other more intense stuff. But you know, like schoolyard crushes or an eleven year old girl putting up pictures of Justin Bieber because she thinks he's cute and she wants to marry him.
My best advice, watch some shows with kids in them and see how they're portrayed. I'm not talking about a show made for kids, I'm talking about an actual adult show, like a drama or even a sitcom that isn't too wacky. Find a few episodes that feature kids prominently and see how they're portrayed.
