¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

nah there would be plenty of appable characters. people would just rather play characters that are unsuitable and ooc for the setting.

tbf, that's the appeal of most games; taking their char out of their setting and making them adjust to a panfandom game. otherwise we'd all be playing in fandom specific games. the problem comes with char type. some people only play specific types of characters and sometimes, their either small list or long list only has not-entirely-appropriate-for-smut types. and i get the concept of 'only app in people that are suitable', but honestly? i'd rather someone app in someone so wrong and work to make them fit. it's fun for them and it could be interesting to play off.

and before you say 'well, they should just pick up someone suitable to play in a sex game' - that's easier said than done. first off, a lot of 'suitable' types are probably going to be snapped up pretty quickly. secondly, it borders on that ridiculous 'play a canon char before apping in an oc' rule, since it's effectively making you play someone you don't really want to play in the first place, without even having the benefit of getting to app in one you actually want afterwards.

tldr, people are going to play who they want to play. i'd just prefer to see more people working to twist or bend their char icly instead of either turning them into this huge grumpface that does dick all and the player whines about not having ac or cr, or by making them so ooc that they're not the same char in any way whatsoever.
