rpanons | All the pretty little anons

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.

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

really any character that gets fridged early on runs the risk of this. a dead lover, family member, etc will be hugely important to the protagonist and may drastically change their motivations in game, but there's often not much meat to the fridged character themselves, resulting in a lot of headcanon.

(putting aside the other problem, which is that these kinds of characters rarely get apped for any other reason than to join an existing cast and be that super important person to the other characters. i'm sure most of us have deliberately joined a cast at some point, but i'm always a little wary of very minor characters whose main defining features lie in their relationships to more well developed characters. apping a character, not because you're excited about the game or the character themselves, but because character x is going to shit themselves/fall all over character y who died tragically in canon and spurred all of x's subsequent development, rarely ends well.)
