Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh yes of course ;P.
Still useful, I think.

Or fun. Mostly fun.

@ Chibi: I actually like your character- OH! Thanks again for helping me fix mine, I swear to God if I had not asked questions Luciano would be a damn Gary Stu! :3 Thanks again!

@ The Topic: I haven't done one of those tests yet- to be honest, I'm scared of the results redface .

That's pretty much what Haijin said. The test is just a subjective thing and probably should be taken with a grain of salt or something. 3nodding

At least the test really works well for people who are terrible writers (likemyself) and need to be told in test form or so. ninja Like what Meushi said about that one cake burning character, My Immortal and FaCe ThE StRaNgE.

Ahaha. I'd listen to a dramatic reading by someone, because he had a great voice for it.
Good man, good man.

That's another thing. What is said in the context of the role-play threads will be between characters only. If you're having a minor fight with someone outside of the RP don't transfer that over to your character if they happen to be interacting with the character of the person you're fighting with. Conversely, if a person's character says your character is a total jerk don't think that means they think that about you. While it's okay to put a little of yourself into your characters, you shouldn't let your emotions and your thoughts about other players influence how your characters act in an RP.

In example, I was in an RP a few years back where I really didn't have a good handle how my character would react to what other characters would do. I let my personal feelings about a player affect how I played my character. On top of that, my friend at the time pretty much told me it was okay to use personal feelings to fuel my RP posts. I could have had a much better character if personal feelings and how I felt about what was being posted was left out of how my character reacted to the character she was dealing with. So think about the type of person your character is when dealing with their reactions to a particular situation.

Both of what you say has a really good point.

I remember rping with this girl in highschool. She was awesome. Super sweet and kind and was just sugar and fluff. However she played this super nasty evil witch character. Holy crap man, the things she would come up with for that character were so dark and twisted I always wondered where they heck it came from! She ended up killing one of my characters in a rather sick away. And then the next day in real life was like "I'm SOOOOO sorry!!" Ah good times.

Kids I'd like to address another role-play no no here because I have the feeling it's likely to happen here with how things are going. Plus, it's a good thing to remember when you're dealing with massively huge role-play forums in a set world. The world/setting for the role-play does not bend to your character your character adapts to the world/setting when creating them.

If it's stated in any setting to any role-play that certain races, abilities, weapons, or technologies exists then that's what you work with. If your setting is early Nineteenth century Tennessee then don't give your character magical powers or a modern day uzi for a weapon. Also, it's most likely they'll be wearing things made out of buckskin and living in log cabins not in an apartment near Beale Street walking around in chain-mail and a leather breastplate. If it's said on the world that two races don't associate with each other or are physically incapable of reproducing don't make a half breed who is shunned by both races or destined by the gods to exist just to have one. If the race you chose is physically incapable of performing a particular ability then don't make them the first person to fight genetics and become a pioneering hero to their people.

It's highly suggested that you read over the setting and related history for any role-play before you go ahead and start creating characters and situations to take place.
