I definitely won't play as...

Finish the sentence.

... as an overtly sexualized character. It's just not my style at all.

...a transgender or homosexual. Its nothing against them, I just cant relate to that, as well as being terrified of offending anyone if I goof things up.

I learned I won't play as a germ, spore, bacteria etc

...a Pokemon trainer. I'm apparently terrible at those, seeing how miserably every one of mine have failed.

... a hugely antisocial or depressed person. I just... Don't think that could be fun for me, since RPing is about interaction. If it was action based, then possibly. But. Yeah idk.

I'm echoing these. I wouldn't be able to realistically write a transgender character in a way that does their struggle justice. Depressed characters aren't a good outlet for my style of humour, so that's why I probably won't put them on my character list.

Um... All of the above...


Aaaannnddd below too.....

I absolutely can't play someone who is a jerk. Since I like to think my characters are somewhat extensions of myself, being purposefully mean and rude is something i just can't do.

... any gender other than male. I practically don't know anything about them to properly play as something like them.

An ordinary animal. I'd feel uncomfortable giving one a human level of intelligence, but too much less than that and I'm sure I'd get bored with it.

Uh... thats pretty weird and I kinda want to know the story behind this.

I don't think I would do overly sexualized either. I'm writing a story, not a, shall we say "adult novel."

I wouldn't want to do this, it hits way too close to home for me, and I write alot about myself in the subtext. Just... bad vibes man.

I know the feeling, writing trainer stories is just... boring. Writing out battles is not fun for me, which sucks because I really liked some of my first characters.


and as for me, I definitely won't play as a sports fan. I don't know anything about sports and I find them so dull that writing about one would put me too sleep.

I think I can safely say there is nothing I definitely 100% will not play.

I can't think of a character that I would not play. If any, it'd be one completely out of my field of experience, but with that said, I've done characters that can be quite difficult (suicidal, depressed characters or having disorders etc) after doing extensive research on them so... I cannot say I would instantly reject any prospect of going beyond my comfort zone in terms of characters.

I won't play as any canon characters if it's a fan RP and I won't play as any real-life figures (like world leaders, religious figures, celebrities, ect.). Highly unlikely that that will show up on PC but people do have RPs like that.

I wouldn't play as . . .

-A villain who believes he is evil and loves it. Although some stories require this, doing this for a RP seems a bit bland and a waste of a character IMO.

-Transgender/Gay: Despite having a gay relative, I doubt I could handle this in a way that wouldn't offend people.

-Highly antagonistitic characters: its doesn't sound fun to me to have a character purposely butt heads with practically everything he comes into contact with, somehow managing to annoy even the inanimate rocks.

Anyone who is not male or female. It's not something I am fond of nor something I think I can write well due to my lack of interest in it. This doesn't extend to transgender characters, although I am highly unlikely to play them because I would just get so into their struggle and become very frustrated about the fact that I could just make them the gender they want to be in a snap of my fingers, but I can't because I chose to make them transgender.

A homosexual male. Females are fine because I already veer in that direction myself. But this is something that is beyond my understanding. I would probably just play him as a regular straight female, and I don't think I could do it justice.

... if not to strictly satirize them, someone whose social commentary aligns with the self-identified "progressive" left or "die-hard patriot" conservative, since both of those far ends do a great job of flanderizing themselves almost atrociously.

Well, I suppose then it isn't satire if I base my characters off of verbatim expressions and explanations of their platforms by these groups, is it? It gets into some Poe's Law territory.

Alternatively, I will absolutely not play as a character who is on the autism spectrum, or suffers from a specific and severe mental illness beyond my research and understanding. For me, it's inherently patronizing for the former, and in the latter it's me misrepresenting an illness like schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder in a way that is either flagrantly wrong and/or possibly even romanticized.

Just can't bring myself to do it.

Like Gimme, I can say that there isn't anything I wouldn't get to play. I always try to make my characters different from others, so limiting that wouldn't be a good thing.

I won't play as a Minun who is best friends with a Plusle (Unless if that person really, really wants to be my Plusle). There's so many Pokemon Minun could have better best firends for like Pachirisu, ANOTHER MINUN, Pikachu, and even Piplup. I can even think of some other Plus typed Pokemon that could be best friends with a Minun. Plusles always by herself I see but give Minun some fresh air from Plusle. Jeez.

I also won't play as a character who plays Xbox and Playstation for their spare time. To me, I think the Pokemon world has no Xbox and Playstation and all of those cutesy Playstation games Like Klonoa are from a console called "The Nintendo Playstation". Just something that I feel like that could be canon in the Pokemon world.
