Love thy anon

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.

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.

Go from rough to detailed. Always start with the stuff that explains 80% about your character and then work towards the final 20%.


For example, start with the impression your character would give off to total strangers. Remember most of the people they are going to run into the game will be utter strangers so this is not an insubstantial part of what you will be playing.

Then move onto the way your character acts around friends, best friends, lovers. If there is a difference between how they react to strangers or non-strangers, Are they open with all their friends or not. How much do they allow their friends to affect them, things like that.

Then onto the stuff they only show to themselves, the really nitty gritty stuff that they keep secret. But also stuff like personal motivators, dreams for the future, etc. Anything that may have substantially contributed to them acting as they do and why that was.

Then anything else that you might have missed before but that is still relevant. Maybe strange quirks, a very involved hobby stuff like that.
