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.

Speaking as someone who knows absolutely nothing about the Japanese version, unless I was in a game that highly and regularly accepted AU characters, I think I would be incredibly put-off. This is in large part because I don't know what to expect from such a character and even though the stories go the same direction, as far as I know the characterization isn't entirely the same and the jokes are completely different (unless I'm mistaken, the majority of the jokes were americanized for the different audience).

Then again, I play in a game that does not accept AU character of any kinds. If I did, I might be a little more for it as long as I got a little warning what was going on first and what to expect. You might have better luck apping into a pre-established cast and checking with the cast mates first.

Also, I could be wrong but I do believe some players play "both". That is, they have enough knowledge and experience of both the english and japanese versions, yet still play using the English names (english location, etc). Honestly, that alone isn't too far of a stretch.
