Chit-Chat: General Roleplay Discussion Thread "the RPD" (archived)

Do you have a roleplay character that shares the same traits (personality-wise or other) as you do?

Well... whether we admit or realize it or not, the majority of our characters have a little bit of us in them. So, yes, of course. All of my characters possess a quality or a flaw of mine, although it is imagined entirely differently, in another setting, the setting of the new character. For example, a character of mine is a pedantic with tinkering, because engineering is his job, and if he fails at that, he's good for nothing. I, on the other hand, am pedantic because I stress about details and keeping things tidy, which is more like a hobby.

Might not have been the best example... still. My point is across

What, to you, makes a character 'good', fun or interesting?

Their unexplored side. What they do not appear to be. It's fun for me to wait, building my character through the story until that point where they show hidden qualities, which sometimes can be terrifying in comparison to the already present ones. The change that occurs during the peak of the story can be massive. That's what I liked in my character in SV's Odyssey, Bloodthirster, who scorned the honorable ways of the peacekeepers and loved to do war, but upon the moment of his death, he admitted to himself to not regretting having joined them (although he never said it verbally) and realizing that he did the right thing, which was noble and honorable, much unlike him.

Another interesting factor in a character for me is the amount of power he has to change the story's course. I love characters like masterminds and string pullers who direct the story behind the scenes, without any of us knowing a thing about it.

They have to have interesting interactions with whatever character I'm using at the moment. :P
 
I believe I asked this question before, not quite sure, but would somebody be interested in a Space Dandy roleplay? It would be a pretty goofy sandbox roleplay, but it could be really fun. We could even end up having a "The End" at the end of every episode chapter, like in the series.
 
I've never heard of Space Dandy (which is why I am taking long in responding to your post in clubs xD). Is it the same as the theme on your siggy?
 
Space Dandy is, in fact, his current theme right now. Personally I don't know how well or not a Space Dandy RP would work out, but Space Dandy is definitely awesome, no doubt about that.
 
Space Dandy is indeed my theme. But it's an interesting anime, created by the same people who made Cowboy Bebop. Dandy, the character portrayed in my signature, is a care-free, go-lucky alien hunter with an obsession of Boobies (Space Hooters), along with his misfit crew, Meow the Beetlejucian (Space Cat), and QT, the vacuum cleaner with AI intelligence. There really isn't a solid plot to the series. It's solely a comedy. But there's a galactic war between a couple of empires, one of which with an unknown vendetta against Dandy, but it's not really important. Most of the episodes lead the crew on crazy missions for brand new aliens, usually something that seems average and mundane at first, but then it turns crazy. Like the Phantom Space Ramen. (That episode brought tears to my eyes at the end :'()

I'm thinking that the basis of the roleplay would consist of our misfit alien-hunting crew being led on wild antics, capturing rare aliens, or even getting wrapped up in a deep plotline deeper in the roleplay.
 
Do you have a roleplay character that shares the same traits (personality-wise or other) as you do?
When I make characters, I tend to take a certain trait from myself, turn it up to 11, then form a character around that. Not always though, sometimes I just come up with something I think would make for an interesting character and other times the trait pulled from myself takes a backseat, but that's what's usually the case.

What, to you, makes a character 'good', fun or interesting?
For a good character, development and conflict, often triggering the former, are major things for me. There are people who can make a completely static character work, and I have seen them, but they are few and far in between.
For interesting, I like flawed characters, especially ones with crippling psychological flaws. Major phobias, complexes, internal conflicts, all that good stuff. I feel that the more positive things a character has going for them, the worse the negatives should be. But that's just me, though.

@Challenger: I feel like a Space Dandy RP could be quite fun if done right, and a big change from most things I've seen here. I imagine it like an RP where you could go crazy and have fun with a reset button at the end of each chapter, letting you go almost as crazy as you want. Almost. With that much freedom it would be hard to keep your players in line. Also, being so different from the norm might make it even harder as well as maybe causing issues with attention, but I wouldn't know about that. Overall, I can see potential if you think you're up for it. Also, I feel like players would still need some direction to aim their crazy idea cannons at the beginning of each chapter, but that's an easier problem to deal with.
 
sicenetist kidnap people and turn them into pokemorhp some thing in between human and pokemon and selling them to teams like rocket and magma but the do make a few mistakes pokemorphs with side effects the sicentist lock these pokemorphs up in prison like zoo in the RP you are one of these mistakes

Hey, everyone on the RP forum (and anyone else who peeks their head in). I know I've never said anything in this thread before, but I figured I'd say something before I leave for the next two years.

It's been a little over three years since I first found PC, and a little while after I joined before I became more serious with my roleplaying here. I've had some good times here, and a few not-so-good times. The roleplays here are definitely better than almost anything I'd seen before coming to PokeCommunity. There are some good people here, too. I don't know if I'm able to judge myself adequately, but I want to believe that this forum helped me improve my writing ability. Pokemon Odyssey: A New Beginning in particular has been my favorite to date, even if it did take around two years to finish.

I would continue to roleplay here, too, but I am going to serve a two-year mission now. If I have the time after these next two years, I'm liable to come back. I might log in one or two more times today to check with a few people, but forum-wide, I am leaving now. With that said...

I bid you all, adieu. Happy roleplaying! (And work on a better slogan!)

I'm afraid it isn't something that interests me, and if you're planning on hosting a RP like that here just make sure to include a story and lots of information to help people understand what they're going to do, how pokemorphs work, etc.

We'll keep at it :) Good luck on your endeavors, I hope to see you back here someday, I'll keep an eye out.
 
Hey Garet, I'll miss ya and I'll be waiting for you to get back soon. :3 Have fun and be safe.
 
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any trainer journey rps open for the new Generation 6 for Pokemon? I've been looking for one that has a spot open.
 
I've been thinking, guys. I've been around here for almost two years now, the second year mark being in June or July, and I've seen a lot of faces come and go, both short term friends and long term.

I've gone through my friends' list and I've seen quite a few names that haven't been online in a while that I used to talk to almost everyday. People like Resolution/EliteBeats/Vato, Sheraku, and now Garet, have been a huge part of my PC experience. I haven't seen PT Yellow in a long time, and she was my roleplay mentor back when I sucked at life! So sorry if I've made a mistake and a person previously assumed absent sees this xP! I just want to thank you guys that are still around, and all those I've roleplayed with in the past for the great times I've had here. I can truly say it has been an honor roleplaying with you guys! I hope you don't mind that I consider us a dysfunctional family xP

I have a question for everybody. Do you just think of characters ideas on the spot, or do you like to have them planned out for a long time? What inspires you to make a character that character?
 
Hey guys, this is exactly like a normal roleplay, except on kik or Skype, so I've had to post it here:

INTRODUCTION:
Hello everyone! Thank you for reading my Roleplay! Before I go into further information about the actual roleplay, I would like to inform everyone reading that this will take place over one of the two program's: Kik or Skype. Both can be downloaded on most mobile devices. Skype Is also available on PC. This Roleplay will only be for 3-4 people!

PLOT:
Now on to the roleplay, this will take place across all existing Regions and Islands in the current Pokemon series. Meaning everything from Gen 1 - Gen 6 (And future gen's if they continue to come out)

This roleplay will be much like the show! A group of friends travel across the Whole world of Pokemon, training, battling, and competing in many different challenges. It will also include many mysteries and secrets for us to work out an solve! All Pokemon (Including Legendaries) will be catchable/included EVENTUALLY! And you can start off with almost any first evolution of a Pokemon, a few second evolutions will be allowed also! Let me give you a quicker explanation of the story, If it were to be said in a trailer:

3 (or 4) Friends set out on a journey to become stronger! Some in hopes of being a Pokemon master, others in Pokemon Breeding, and maybe even Being a Pokemon Contest Master! They travel across the regions of Pokemon to be the very best!

SIGN UP:
Like I said, there will be only 3-4 spots, may allow a fifth, here will be the roles you can play!:

-Main Pokemon Trainer:
This role will be played by me, almost identical to Ash's role in the show.

-Trainer's Rival & Friend:
This role will be much like your "Rival" in most Pokemon games, except they travel with the Pokemon Trainer, making them More of a friend then a rival.

-Pokemon Breeder/Contest competitor (2):
There will be two spots available here, you can choose weather you want to be a breeder, or a Contest Competitor, there can be one of each, or two people playing the same role. It doesn't really matter but I suggest you try not to play the role the other is playing. These roles are much like Brocks and Dawns in the show Pokemon Diamond/Pearl.

-Rookie Trainer:
This role will be for if someone really wants to join after we have our 4 people. (The other roles must be filled before this, as it would be odd with 3 trainers and one/none of anything else) This is just a normal Pokemon trainer who will come across the journey. They will however lack behind and have The Main Pokemon Trainer help them, and teach them to fight (Will be younger then the other characters)

RULES:
Seeing as how this is mainly open world there won't be many rules. So let me quickly go over them:

NO Godmodding:
This is an obvious one, You will never win EVERYTHING, you can win most battles against "NPC's" (Temporary/Made up players for an event like A Gym Battle) if you'd like. But no one wins everything. Even I don't plan to win everything. There will however be NO Godmodding against the other roleplayers.

Be Fair!:
Ok, so you just started out your journey and you see a wild Flygon, what do you do? Throw a pokeball at it without weakening it and catch it on your first try? NO! A flygon would completely destroy a starter, and would be unfair to the other players If you had one!!

No Arguments!:
If someone is doing something wrong, consult the others before accusing them. We can have a small vote on weather we all think its ok or not.

Last rule:
HAVE FUN!!!!!! Oh, and catch 'em all!

Extra information:
The roleplay will not be paused because one person has to go, instead we will remain at one place and train, When you return you can have a slight boost towards your Pokemon to make up for the training the others got.
Also. Please don't say "He Copied Me!" Because someone caught the same Pokemon as you, but also, keep in mind it is a little unfair if you catch the same Pokemon everyone else does because you like it!

Contact Me:
If you have further questions you would like to ask feel free to make a reply down below, however I'm more likely to reply on kik or Skype, here my usernames:
Kik- Drazieth
Skype- Drazieth
Feel free to contact me on them if you'd like!
