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.

any advice on writing a concise history and personality to display in a journal?

i would start by creating bullet points highlighting the important parts you want people to know about your character, and then work on fluffing those out so you don't tl;dr too much.

in my case i went the longer, more complicated route by being dumb: i ended up writing a lengthy full history for one page, and then have another that's an "abridged" version for people who want more of a summary than a synopsis of my character's story. unless that sounds appealing to you, go with the first option.

personality

- list down ten traits. make it 50/50 if you can. give 1 -2 canon examples of them doing that action. explain through the action/s why they bothered to do that/why it happened in the first place. you'd be surprise on how quick you pass 500 words through this.

history

- listing as 'major events' helps me out a lot. first put up a timeline of 'born' 'meets x' 'goes on adventure' helps save time a lot since i fuss over details and find myself explaining x y and z. there are ready codes over at ij for this sort of stuff so no need to worry about it prettying it up yourself.
