Unfunny wanky stereotypes

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.

OCs YOU'RE ITCHING TO PLAY

Tell us what OCs you're working on that you really would love to throw at someone in a meme, psl, game, etc. Give us a bit of info about them and what you want to do. You might just find someone interested in doing something with you!

Bonus points for doing this logged in!

newest one i've been itching to play isn't setting specific.

clever, manipulative, withdrawn beneath an extroverted front, road to hell is paved with good intentions etc. wants to be a revolutionary, basically. enigmatic, some degree of emotional volatility.

trepidations - intellectual character, inclined towards formality. don't want to powerplay smarts or make him so closed off that it's not fun to play with.

would love to play his moral grays (and attempts towards moral whites) off of a gray character more inclined to the other end of the scale. would also guilty pleasure love to play romance with him but TOO EMBARRASSED to ever make that happen probably. OTL

would also love to play him off people who don't mind their characters being manipulated to a degree, since that's a touchy issue for some people.

Clever and manipulative with a front? You've got me hooked, anon.

I've actually got two OCs myself who hide behind fronts, and both are morally grey, though one's more on the "good" side while one's a big manipulator himself. I am actually totally into having my "good" OC being manipulated into doing something darker and giving into his more greyer urges, so what you're offering sounds awesome to me!

(And hey, I'm totally up for guilty pleasure manipulative romance, if our characters click. :D)

This one. Crane spirit from an original 'myth' I created based around actual Japanese and Buddhist myths/folklore. He's been cursed with blindness by Benzaiten for his extreme vanity and more than 1500 years later he's still throwing himself a private little pity party, though he has managed to get himself out into the world again, posing as a human because a blind crane in the wild would be screwed way more than a blind human.

I'm looking to app him to High Seas - I already play two characters there and know I'd like him in the game - but he was created roughly 8 years ago and I haven't played him in at least 5, I think? I also never wrote down anything beyond his creation myth/quick background and I can't find any of the old logs I had from when I played him over AIM. Sadly, that means I'm having to re-explore the personality as I go. I have him on the test drive over there, but I'd love to do some memes with him to help me get back into his voice.

If anyone is up for it?

iiiiii have an OC who's sort of a german stork spirit who blesses/curses children and has been running around in human guise more or less since 15th century european plagues

I don't mind a little bird spirits brotime. fair warning, this guy comes from 1322 AD, during the very late Kamakura period of Japan. So he's not exactly familiar with anything your stork will be. they can still brotime, though.:)

EDIT: probably should have asked if you had a meme or musebox in mind, and if not what kind of brotimes you're in the mood for so I can set something up. Sorry about that.

I don't mind bending things a little, time-line wise, if you're interested in having more a modern era brofest.

giant (aka nephilim) girl with major self-esteem issues who was left to fend for herself from a young age and is hung up on trying to be a Model Minority

She's from a Biblepunk setting (which i've talked about anon a couple times), which assumes as true most of the sillier fundamentalist christian theories about the antediluvian world. So there's a veil of water in the upper-ish atmosphere around the entire planet, dinosaurs walk the earth side-by-side with humans, angels come down to bang cute ladies, those ladies give birth to people who grow up to be excessively tall and generally rather rude and in need of having stones slung at their foreheads by kids named David, stuff like that. Y'know.

Also bullshit science about the veil of water greatly increasing atmospheric pressure making megafauna and bronze-age dirigibles vaguely almost plausible, because bronze-age dirigibles fuck yes.

Anyway, Eleria herself is daughter of an angel and a human priestess; the angel eventually flitted off when Eleria's mom was completely burned out by its holy flames. (banging angels is a bad idea but they are so beautiful, and supernatural, that people do it anyway.) Mom died from self-neglect, leaving her "oh all giants are violent troublemakers, and that girl'll be, too, just you wait" daughter to tend to the family farm all on her own until she reached biblepunk adulthood and took off to try and find someplace where she can just... live, and not bother people, and not be bothered by people. She doesn't want to be a bad person or a troublemaker.

This makes her crushingly shy and yielding and self-conscious, because she doesn't want to prove people right about her-- and it's proving people right if she argues or stands up for herself, because then she's causing trouble, etc. She is not a happy person. But I love her so much.

it really really is negl. i've been vaguely working on a setting bible but what i have up there is really the heart of it; everything else is details.

(but the details are things like "being a giant grasshopper rancher is a legit career choice" or "pet velociraptors: totally a thing!" so they're still great.)
