Well I mean... GMs are entitled to accept or deny anybody they want since they all have their own criteria. Some GMs, myself included, have different criteria depending on the RP they run. Still, if you think something untoward is going on please PM myself or one of the other mods.

I feel like I've become less critical when judging SUs the longer I've been here. Not sure why.

Interesting point about reviving old threads. I'm not gonna beat around the bush, I'm just gonna ask: when Titans comes back, do we make new characters or reapply with the old ones? Do we reboot the old characters or just copy paste the old SU? We're all intelligent and creative people, surely we have a ton of ideas. What would be best for the story?

Feel free to apply this line of thinking to any revived game. Like Sekirei, for example.

i tend to rehash characters even for RPs that weren't necessarily rebooted (like my character for Unova → Z) simply because i tend to love characters i create, and since RPs i join often don't really get a foot off the ground... i end up not being able to use them ;;

so, i wasn't in the original Titans, but i'd say go with what you think is the most fun/have the most motivation for. that's just my two cents though, haha

Why not both? New characters have different opportunities from the start, but you can change old characters pretty wildly between iterations, and it's fun to think of how to put old characters into new conditions.

Plus, maybe the GM will let you make multiple characters. :D

In regards to making characters for revived or rebooted RPs, I think it should be up to the player and GM's discretion whether of not old characters should be reused. Would it make sense in the new format? Would it be more enjoyable than coming up with something new?

And regarding Titans, I'm excited too. Be aware that if you were in the original, you may be able to use your old character, but you definitely won't be able to just copy-paste. Things will have changed ;)

i agree with sb in that a mixture of both would probably be the best option o/

I've kinda found that I enjoy making a new SU each time, thinking up different backgrounds, personalities and appearances each time I decide to join an RP is kinda fun and makes me feel more connected to the character I created because I know I spent some time on it, starting from scratch to build it into a character I would enjoy RPing as.

AND IT'S HERE TO STAY i hope


And yea, I rarely re-use characters. Even when I used Aberdeen again, I changed him for Crossroads compared to how he was in whatevertheformer RP was called. Begin Again 2.0? 3.0?? Just how many times have I begun again now?

I generally only reuse characters if the reboot a) comes really soon after the first iteration so I still love everything about my character and b) is almost exactly the same as the original RP. See: Railways and Venice. To be fair, those are the only rebooted RPs I've been in in which I was also in the original edition. xD And, coincidentally, those are the only times I've ever even remotely reused a character.

There's even a few characters in RPs I'd signed up for back in the day that never even got an IC that I couldn't bring myself to use again. (Though it's been such a long time that looking back on the characters now makes me cringe inside. :P)

Speaking of which, anyone else have super cringey characters and do you or do you not like to go back and look at them? I actually like looking back because it gives me a certain sense of accomplishment that I no longer make such one-note characters lol.

i have a few super old SUs that were very simple characters when i started out as a ~13 year old, but other than that... i think i still write one-note characters lmao. but i like them/playing as them, so it's all good! haha

as for a Naruto RP... i'm actually somewhat in the mood for another Sword Art Online RP xd
underdeveloped as it was, i quite liked my character in that a lot too, and it's a shame i never really brought it to fruition... i think it's one of the ones i actually thought of the most development for, surprisingly.

Oh yeah, SAO! I never joined that RP that went on for a long time, but I was always kind of tempted to. Hmmm.

I'm generally bad with playing characters in a medieval setting, or at least I think I am.

Hello! I'm new around these parts and I wasn't sure where else to ask this question, so I figured I'd put it here. Sorry if it's in the wrong place?

Is it allowed to host roleplays that you already have a set cast for? I'd like to introduce some of my irl friends to forum roleplaying, and this seems like a good place to start out, since we want to try a kanto journey... But there is only three (maybe four) of us, so we'll probably want to try expanding the cast a little at least. Is that allowed?

Welcome to the RPTheatre then! You can talk about anything in this thread, so questions are definitely okay (:

While it's nice if you invite other players to participate, it's of course okay to host your RP here as long as it has at least 4 players. Post the sign-up thread with relevant information first in Roleplay Casting - even if you have predetermined players, you'll need to present a proper RP idea in order to convince us that the RP has enough planned direction to survive for a decent time. Have a look at other Casting threads to see how much information people usually give.

Once you have 4 or more players, predetermined or not, you can post an in-character thread in Roleplay Stage and start RPing!



Uggh so today I have a list of RP stuff to do:

- SU for Sekirei
- Post in Kalos
- Start on Astra

I don't like when RPing becomes a chore, but if you put it off for too long, that might happen haha. Trick is to get into the writing mode and just stay there for a bit (8

Hey there! I haven't been around PC for a while (4 or 5 years, actually), but I decided to come back with a fresh account to start roleplaying again. But... I don't really see many RPs that are accepting new applicants, and the ones I do see don't really spark my interest. :/ Perhaps I'm just a tad too picky. I'd love to make one, but I'm cursed with a bunch of interesting ideas floating around in my head combined with the lack of skill to put together a decent story for them.

Hi, welcome back! What did you use to be called, if I may ask? I used to be Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers back then (:

Hmmmm, what do you like, pokemon or non-pokemon? Actually I think there are a lot of new RPs popping up around now. There's a few journey style pokemon ones, there's a wild western (old though) one, there's a Harry Potter RP even.

But if you've got a lot of ideas, why not let us know here and see if someone's interested? Or if you've got a specific idea, maybe make a thread here in the Theatre for it under the Help Request prefix if you want help fleshing it out~

I really feel you there. But I think that's one of the good things about sandbox type rps and co-gms. For sandbox rps you can provide an idea and some bare bones details and if other people like the idea as well they'll join in and flesh it out for you. Sometimes the story even creates itself, causing you to throw away whatever story you had started to piece together from people's actions haha. And if you can find a co-gm who also likes your idea that just makes it even better/easier.

Boy, that sure would be nice. Every RP I tried to make back a few years ago would just die because I honestly had no idea where I was going with the story. I might take a stab at the whole process once more if I have the time, but I'm not quite sure which idea I should go with. Perhaps I should first post a thread to check if anyone is interested.
