The sisterhood of the traveling flake

Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for fictional character 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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.
Discussion of or soliciting RP for celebrities or other non-fictionalized versions of real people is not allowed.

PB SUGGESTIONS

[socksuke_uchiha]

androgynous blond

[(Anonymous)]

I know this is kind of a long shot, but I'm hoping someone knows of a very androgynous PB with jaw-to-shoulder-length pale blond hair and pale skin, who doesn't have modelface. Bonus if they wear basically no makeup and dress kind of grungy/alternative. My visual references when creating the character were very-old-school Boyd Holbrook when he had long hair in his modeling days, or minimal-makeup Andreja Pejic, but that was for a TTRPG where I didn't need more than one image reference. I can't find many icons of either of those people that aren't modelface. I'm also not versed in a lot of obscure manga or anything that could be used for drawn PBs.

Open to live action or drawn PBs!

GAME IDEAS

[socksuke_uchiha]

[(Anonymous)]

Here's a budding idea I have in my head today. The game starts on a floating island in the middle of dark space. A void with stars. There's nothing there except an empty and small rustic town made out of purple rocks and old buildings and lanterns. Characters can live here and fix it up and start growing crops and hunting for food and make it into a small town. Like a starting hub. It doesn't start with NPCs either.

When the characters app in they pick one thing from their canon (a whole location like a forest, a building, a creature or species, an ability everyone will get, a race npc, etc) to add to the "hub" where it blinks into existence. Thus expanding it and growing it into a mosaic of canon pieces all stuck together.

Every month characters can purchase AC rewards to add more to the world and expand it further. Events would be surrounded around whatever the world is building into. For example... Ash Ketchum brings in Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu. The event might have a prompt that has an infestation of electric rodents eating all the food.

Essentially worlding building and slice of life (or some darker action things if the canons go that way) so I don't know how well that will do in this age of DWRP but it's an idea.

CHARACTER ADVICE

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: CHARACTER ADVICE

[(Anonymous)]

Looking for advice on playing a flirty, friendly character who sleeps around a lot in a game setting without starting ooc ship drama or having people get upset when it doesn't turn into a ship, other than the obvious first line approach of being very clear about expectations. FC is convenionally attractive and a lot of people (compared to the reception my other characters get) find the guy appealing to ship with, though he's not like Steve Rogers or Bucky or something. I'm also one of a smaller group of people playing Ms who are open to M/F. Hopefully I don't sound like I think my character is just sooo cool and people's characters will be crawling on him like weevils or something, but I've seen some heinous ship drama in past games and want to avoid that without having to bend characterization. I've never actually played a character multiple people have approached me to ship with, and I tend to play chilly types who take themselves (and sex) very seriously, so advice appreciated. Thanks!

GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

[socksuke_uchiha]

Trying to return to journal rps

[(Anonymous)]

I used to rp via journal sites like dw, though mainly on insane journal, years ago. New rp partners seem to favor discord but the instantaneous need to reply puts pressure on others.

I am half wondering if I'm too old for this and that the characters I like to play are not suitable for these games anymore but am curious if people have recommendations for an oldbie turned newbie to dwrp to try their hand at it again?

Any advice would be very appreciated as I miss rping so much. (Apologies for any bad typing here I am on my phone and found here to ask via a late night Google search in desperation)

RP WOES

Re: RP WOES

[(Anonymous)]

Every game already has the character I want to play. Two games just opened/had TDMs and the character I want to play is already taken. I try to do PSL but castmates I find never get back to me.

Am I doomed?

[(Anonymous)]

is having cousins you grow up with similar to having siblings?

[(Anonymous)]

yes. a cousin i grew up with is still my best friend for life.

[(Anonymous)]

any threads you guys are enjoying currently? whether it's on bakerstreet, psl, or even games you are in? i'm a noisy anon who lives vicariously through others

[(Anonymous)]

I found someone who ships a hero/villain pair I've been DYING to do! The characters themselves aren't rare but most people who play either of them don't ship them together at ALL. I'm having a lot of fun playing this out with them and the other player seem to be having fun too. Since we're having a lot of fun meme threads, I might ask them if they want to turn this into a longer PSL. In the meantime, I can't wait for the hatefucking to start!

[(Anonymous)]

Dear friends, can we please make a habit of putting your character's canon on your journal or profile somewhere? Please?

It's come up a few times lately where I'll see a journal that includes a fleshed out character profile down to birthday and olfactory notes, but doesn't say where the character's from and I'm just mildly bzuhed by it.

[(Anonymous)]

sorry, will do
