dehumanize yourself and face the bloodshed

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.

you probably don't have to worry about big casts these days, and you only have to worry about canon updating if you choose a canonpoint before the ending (but if you want to do that then i guess it works like any other canon update? unless you're picking a particularly weird canonpoint).

in general, remember that john isn't the dumb innocent nerd baby fandom likes to flanderize him into. he makes stupid choices based on not really thinking things through, but he's also a pretty smart guy (at least in terms of book smarts) who figured out the alchemy system mostly on his own. he's a nice enough guy, but he's not the most considerate and he can be kind of selfish sometimes in that "suburban middle-class kid who's dad probably spoiled him" kinda way. otherwise, his characterization will depend a lot on your canonpoiint since he does have some character development.

it'll help to just go back through his pesterlogs to get reminders of how he talks, but i'm also a fan of this little graphic someone made, it might help you with getting a feel for his word choice as opposed to the other kids:
