And if your character is a guy that makes it ten times better.

Thank you.
Pet peeve: the names and pictures for some characters.
I just sort of hate it when you enter an RP and the person gives you a character that's western in nature like a pure American person and they name their character Sakura or anything Japanese without a good or proper explanation.
And I hate it when a western looking character has a name like that. Look at Heavenly Sword, tall, long red hair and every bit a person with European features and she's named Nariko.
Secondly when someone just so happens to have a name that describes them. A dark and brooding character so happens to be named Raven. Or have a last name that describes what they do in a different language. It was clever a long long time ago now it's just UGH!

It's a hint at sueism for sure.
I hated being a pill, but I badgered one of my good friends over this very problem at D&D night. Truth be told, none of those guys knows how to come up with a name. One of em was an Anime fan, probably too much to come up with a non-japanese name. After the 3rd or 4th Sakura I just snapped. Another used names of characters from his favorite games or adjustments of his own name. It irked me a little bit but he tried. Me getting irritated wasn't helping. cry

My suggestion for that is to find out what the name means then try to find another name with a similar meaning or the same meaning just in a different language.
Sakura means cherry blossom right? Go for Blossom, Cherry, Sherri, Cher, so on and so forth. Or a naming site, the name generators, heck even your phone book will do.

I'm guilty of the names, my one OC is named Silver but it was just lack of ideas. xD I think everyone is guilty of that at one point. IMO.
Pet Peeve-
People who ditch within the plot building stage of a One x One or never reply to the starting post.

I don't know, man. Naming characters stuff in different languages - isn't that what people do in normal life? Granted, you'll find very few people of European decent with a name like Shoutumi Takahashi or something like that, but generally aren't most names thought out with some kind of definition in mind (unless you name your kid Lemonjello[leh-MON-geh-low])?
And I just thought of a bunch of exceptions to that rule - BUT STILL!
Aside from the naming thing, another pet peeve would be characters that are named according to their nationality, grew up in their country and SUDDENLY CAN SPEAK JAPANESE! With a Czechoslovakian accent of course. =_=
And yet another pet peeve - Despies. Term taken from "desperate" which describes the RP'ers who's soul goal in an RP is to get their character laid. Was in an rp where a chick was pretty much with EVERY GUY in there. Dunno how much that says about the guys either.
Last one for the moment - Tsundere's/girls who love them. Friend and I got bored once and made an RP: A boarding school for (mostly) neko girls with special abilities found in a remote forest in Japan where all the teachers are sparkly vampire men that just so happen to take girls and sell them into slavery (I kid you not this was the summary). Then we both made male Tsundere characters (you know, the "cold at first, but warms up when he get's to know you" type guys?).
Most. Freaking. n00bs. Ever.
We quit after we couldn't take it anymore. We were laughing at first, but soon it became quite sad.

I could see how that would drive you insane... I love the fact that noobs are always obssessed with the same thing. Even if you just throw it all together, as long as it has those aspects, they'll join.
BREAK THROUGH!
Let's try to find new rps who AREN'T noobs, by searching for people in actual thread! Instead of finding noobs who won't try to improve in the over made thread, we can search for them in the lesser known plots and stuff.

I love the noobs who gets pissed off at you for helping them out and they try to point out something wrong with the way that you RP.
As for the names I can understand if the character is from Germany and has that name if their parents were really into anime or Japanese culture and gave them that name, or they were named after a family friend who they wish to honor by giving their child the name. Those things I will accept but when there's no reason at all I just get aggravated by that. And that passive aggression of mine will come out in the RP.
I lampshade the hell out of things.

Do you just want me to be mean to them don't you? I avoid the super noobs who think they are better than you. You know the ones who tells you 'I've been RPing for so many years'.
"And you've sucked and godmodded every year."
Oh another thing that I love is when that same noob later complains about how he hates getting stuck with RPers who complain to him and then up and quit the RP when it's getting good. The fact that it might actually be a problem with them just doesn't occur.
