PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Your character's alignment

ZoroStar, Feb 2016: Alexandra Lindstrom, werewolf from birth, raised into supernatural hunting, would best be described as Chaotic Neutral or Neutral Evil. She does a lot of illegal business to raise funds for arms and assets, as well as to "trade" information from...

Characters and stories you're working on right now?

ZoroStar, Feb 2016: Well, every character needs to have a background, right? Roleplaying is a primary tool when it come to character development, for me at least. Forgive me, I didn't realize that there were topic discussions in the Writing Subforum.

What's in a name?

Retro Bug, Feb 2016: I don't name my characters for any special trait or reasoning behind the name. I pick a name that I'm feeling at the moment or make up a name at the moment. Usually, I start off with a letter then type another one and another one, then mix and match...

With great power...

Retro Bug, Feb 2016: Meh, I usually try to do both, sticking to the main plot always gives you something to do in case you're stuck, but then sometimes I have ideas and plots that I go off on my own to do. It's a nice mixture.

Stories work themselves out?

Retro Bug, Feb 2016: Uh... unless it's a sandbox RP, I'm really unsure how a story can work itself out without direction/structure. If you have no explanation and no structure then I really don't know how you'll know what to do in a world that you didn't create. That...

Playing with Genres

CSS: Bae or Nay?

Magic in RP

Groc, Feb 2016: As with anything in an RP, there should be limits. However, you should also allow players to push those limits, and if they have enough imagination, expand the limits. For example, say an RP gives a list of basic spells, and characters know a...

Everyone I knew is dead

Evyl, Feb 2016: Backstories are purely for context, even in RPs that have significantly detailed histories behind them. Something brief should always be included, but if you want to delve into things more, there's no need to make things bad. One mistake people...

Stat Me

Evyl, Feb 2016: Stats are rather pointless, and unless you get creative/silly with them and the rules of the RP, they just determine the outcome of things before they happen. Non-combative stats, as in things for like personality traits, is kinda pointless imo...

Hey guys look, it's Santa!

The Demonic Core - Alchemy Based RP(M-Rated/Other)

crimsoncero, Mar 2016: You have a good point, I will have to look upon how I want the RP to be. The setting was not something I planned for a RP, more for a novel or a game, so it is something I need to adjust to fit into the structure of a RP. What I think I'll do, is...

RPs Feedback

Dusty, Mar 2016: I think that having an RP directly centered around comedy or romance would be kind of difficult. RPs are stories, and while having a romance or comedy RP is entirely possible, I think that there would have to be more going on. On top of that, I'm...

How to stay motivated?

Jauntier, Mar 2016: I'm pretty decisive. If I know I have no motivation in a role-play after a while, if it feels like a drag to continue slugging my character along, I will end participation--or if others feel it en mass as well, I'll stall with them out of existence,...

And They All Lived Happily Ever After

two hundred and twenty-two roleplays on my list

GreyBidoof, Apr 2016: For me, I'd say the optimal number is around two, maybe three if I have time. Any more, and things begin to get pushed to the back burner. In the end though, it all just depends on how much time and motivation you have.
