all in all it's the perfect scene;
1. Where and when did you start RPing?
Forum RPing! Prose/story-style for a FE9/10 setting. I started... maybe middle school? Five years ago? I started LJ RPing two years ago, though!
2. Do you RP anywhere other than LJ?
Nope.
3. Do you play in any public games?
mayfield_rpg
4. Do you prefer first-person comment spam or prose logging?
I vastly prefer first-person comments. I used to do prose, and I always sucked at it. Now all my prose sounds like comment spamming. Ahhh but it's so fun. Which you can tell from my journals' comment numbers.
5. What was the first character you ever played?
I don't remember anything not on LJ, but I first played Serra from Fire Emblem.
6. Who's your favorite character to play now and why?
England! ;u; This comes as a surprise to no one! But it's been really fun. I like playing characters who have subconscious, unknown motivations. I think another thing is that I used to play characters who were purely for the funny, but England can be so derpily funny and then serious and then back again. Just a well-rounded character in general. I get to be involved with plots! Not only that, but I have an awesome cast. It... It doesn't hurt that he can be really badass or that I think he's really cute tsun tsun.
7. What's the longest you've ever consistently played one character?
Ooooh. I don't actually know! Toss-up between Serra and Renge, maybe? I'm on the verge of five months with England and six with Belarus, so there's that.
8. What's your biggest RP pet peeve?
I guess I have lots. Anything Orange and Siz has said. I have tons of small peeves, some that even go to lol hypocrisy, but I guess IC =/= OOC and Heroing would top my list? Big cases of IC/OOC boundaries crossovers go beyond peeving. I mean, it's Jerkland and Belaknifeinyourface, please understand that. As for heroing, it's... characters won't be heroes for all situations. Win some, lose some. A "pay attention to my character!!" attitude just... isn't winning me over.
Like I said, lol hypocrisy, but those still peeve me.
9. Do you read RP secrets and the RP anon meme?
Yeah. I have short breaks between classes so I don't want to do something that I have to invest too much time. I don't know, I'm not particularly invested in either. That being said, I skim pretty quickly and disinterestedly, so I won't likely see anything in particular on there. ngl, I once checked it and got linked back to something Relevant to My Interests later on that day.
10. If you've played in public before, do you prefer community based or journal based games?
Journal, but I've played in communities. idk, the arguments for community are pretty convincing, but I just like journal better.
11. Would you rather play with someone who's very very IC but a mediocre writer or someone who isn't always IC (but not terrible) and a great writer?
The latter. I mean, if "writer" is defined by stuff like can I reply to this tag, does this tag catch my interest, does it sinkhole away. I warp ICness around to make my tags somewhat respondable, or may go on a ludicrous direction just to keep things fun. So there's my bias for that.
12. Do you have a "RP partner"?
agentco2range and rinnington
13. Do you ever stalk any casts, games, or players? Who?
I don't go to such a degree as Orange. But ngl, if you RP from Hetalia, I probably know your journal name. In particular, outside my game would probably be one Russia and one England, both of whom I begged to friend, so there's that. I don't really intensely stalk anyone anymore, except for redscareandblue and kol_shevik who tag other people, but I'm always watching.
Always watching.
Though not even kidding, if they could compile a little list of where they tagged that day, I'd be pretty happy.
14. In your opinion, which part of an app is the most difficult/annoying?
History. The research is annoying. O woe are my tired fingers to go to Wikipedia.
15. Are you one of those people who has to customize their character's journal layout and userinfo?
This question sounds like it's judging me.
Yeah, I do. I'll wing it without a userinfo in the beginning, but I always hunt for a nice journal layout, even though nobody sees it. Ever. It's cool. But I customized both Belarus and England's journals, and both their userinfos by now! I update the latter with new tidbits every once in a while.
16. What was your first game?
memento_eden
17. Are there any canons you avoid tagging characters from?
Not really, no. I might not tag characters from a canon that I'm currently watching, or from a game that I'm planning to play later, just because I don't want to be spoiled. But I might still thread with them anyway. I'm not sure if people have avoided tagging with me because I play from Hetalia? I'm probably too dense to tell.
18. Most memorable scene in any thread?
AUGH what is this question.
Okay, uhh. Serra, that would have to be that little contest. Renge, Moe Moe Memento Eden. Belarus, hands down, any one she threadjacks from Russia. I especially like the Prussia one, where Russia suddenly felt heavier that day. I think I only did one other threadjack. I'm trying to think of more, but all I can come up with are Russia examples ajfldsjlfdksj. England, any thread with America, ever. I'm not even kidding, just so awesome. The most recent one would be stinkbug England. They're so awesome that I almost forgot about the one where he got milkman!droned. I'm trying to think of more, but all I'm getting are examples from threads that I wasn't in, so. Hnnngh I could go on.
19. Do you RP sex?
;u;
20. Do you play more males or females?
Counting my character list, it's pretty even. I play one male and one female at the moment.
21. What won't you RP?
Mostly anything not fit for public eye, as well as other sensitive stuff. Like Siz said, I'm... not really willing to go into the more controversial history. I suck at history anyway, so.
22. Dressing rooms: yes or no?
oho I get a stance. I don't have anything against them, but I've never posted in any.
23. Ever RPed a pairing?
Yes. Belarus/Russia and America/England. Obviously. married married married brother
In general, I don't RP pairings in games.
24. Favorite place to play: musebox, open posts, public games, private games?
I think there are advantages to all of them. I obviously musebox, but mostly just to test how I feel about a character. And I'm pretty desperate, I'll hit up random characters in d_m when I just want to play with them. Like Siz. But public games means interacting with more people with a setting that carries over events and development. ngl, though. There are some days I just feel like museboxing and not emerging again for a long while.
25. Talking RP with someone else who plays your character: fun or awkward?
Depends. Most of the time, fun! As long as they don't mind if I don't say anything. Listening is all good and fine for me, but if I interject, I'd feel like I was disagreeing with their characterization, and I wouldn't intentionally do that. To each their own and all. I just like listening to more thoughts, like going on advice meme or listening to Siz the best England Ever talk. But that's just talking shop, talking regular RP with other people who play the same character is fun.
But if I feel like I'm getting passive-aggressively dug out? Ugh. I get it, you play a better so-and-so at me, just--ugh.
I turned on MyGuests yesterday. ngl, pretty weird. But no particular surprises? redscareandblue i see you
Though I'll probably turn it off soon, I go to a lot of people's journals still logged into England's journal hurrrrr.
