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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

OP

You're reading my mind with that last paragraph, anon! Thanks a lot for the additional advice and brainstorming, too, I genuinely appreciate it.

Regarding your comment about prohibiting headcanons that contradict game lore: I totally agree, but do want to make some leeway when it comes to characters' sexualities and the like (insofar as that's even considered lore). Take Ingrid, for example. She has no F/F S-supports, but like, come on, it's there, LMAO. This is a "change" that would definitely impact other players, but that is also the sort of thing this kind of game would invite you to explore. Having said that, I would obviously not accept (say) a version of Ignatz that were no longer fascinated by the Saints as aesthetic figures, even if the player provided a great explanation for why he lost his faith (and, subsequently, his taste for the Saints) pre-timeskip. It's not a huge part of his character, but if that kind of change were made pre-game, it would become a huge part of his character. Does that make sense? Obviously if the Ignatz player were keen on testing Ignatz's faith, I'd design his paralogue with that in mind, but it'd be too much of a leap for him to have become an atheist prior to the game opening, imo.

My bad, I was thinking more in terms of disruptive headcanons like teacher theory, lol - definitely don't see a reason to restrict character sexuality at all. if an ingrid wants to be interested in women or a sylvain and felix want to actually follow through on that *cough* bromance romance then they should be able to.

Really cool to see how much you've thought this through and I'm excited to see where it goes!

Oh, I see! I actually don't know what teacher theory is... ? Haha. Is it this? I just ran a quick Google: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/204445-fire-emblem-three-houses/78028126

yep, that's it. basically any headcanons that stretch what's in the game to make certain characters look better or worse, or significantly change their motivations, would be the kind of thing I could see making a game that's pursuing a "golden route" a headache for the players involved.

Great, thanks!

I thought this was a fascinating read, but this particular theory wouldn't even be in play for a prospective Edelgard -- and I mean that literally -- because a reflection on this incident wouldn't feature in any aspect of the RP's design. It's one of those things from canon that I always wondered about and had my own take on, but that I don't think has any real impact on post-timeskip stuff, even as an explanation for a past event.
