We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

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. 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.

characters with differences in translations?

(Anonymous) 2017-04-16 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
let's say you're playing a character from a series that's not available in english. you're fluent in the language their canon's in, maybe even did translations for it yourself so you could share it with others.

after you've been playing the character for some time, their canon gets an official localization! ...except it turns out the localization mistranslated several important scenes for your character and changed the way they talk from soft-spoken and polite to casual and rough (or the other way around). they're still mostly the same character, but the changes to how they talk and the mistranslations in their important scenes are enough to make them come across significantly differently from what you're used to in the original version (and by extension, from how you've been playing them).

what do you do? do you adjust how you play that character to the changes in the localization, even if they're jarring to you or conflict with how you've been playing them until now (i.e. of speech/backstory changes/mistranslations)? do you put a note somewhere on your character's profile/journal specifying that you're playing from the original version of the canon instead of the localization so there might be differences in characterization? do you drop the character, even though you enjoyed playing them until now?

That's what I did. I also mentioned the differences in a character survey, but hell if anyone reads those.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-16 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
how'd that go? did it work out fine or did you get complaints from people more used to the localization because of the differences anyway?

f/f. looking for a variety of ridiculous breast-related things, although other kinks can be included as well.

including: worship, expansion (minor to extreme), lactation, breastfeeding, over stimulation, smothering, and whatever else. preferably a combination of as many as possible.

hit me up at missingleftsock with your characters and w/e else you'd like to include.

Another P5 protagonist clocking in.

I also have an account for Makoto [personal profile] fullthrottle and Yusuke [personal profile] goemon. I'm super creative.

I'm kinda thinking about picking up Sojiro and Toranosuke as well just because I love their social links.

Excited to be able to read the story without it taking a million years (I can read jp but I'm still pretty shaky on it). Probably only going casual on eng for the story because I've poured both money and time into jp.

Dude, this is incredibly helpful! I'd love screenshots of Riju if you've got the time for it!

Thanks so much for the offer!

Just add the note. Most people in fandom understand that official translations can miss the mark, it's not uncommon, unfortunately.

nah, that doesn't work. sticky posts don't count as the one entry on the page, so you end up with the sticky post and your latest post underneath. what op wants to do is the old fashioned method of forward dating the entry they want as their nav page to years in the future, so it's the only one displayed.
