You know you can RP when/if...

[Substitute Hero]

Ya-haa!

Substitute Hero's list of requirments to being a good roleplayer!

1) Post the score you get when you take the test I link to in my sig. Make sure you use your most commonly used or favorite character. No cheating!

2) Your character uses neither swords nor fire powers, when/if the situation allows it.

3) Your character's name, be it middle, last, or nickname, is not some dark animal, japanese name, or idea (Raven, Takashi, Destiny; respectively).

4) You don't use "parents killed", "grew up on the streets", or other such mary-sueish traits.

There are many more, but in the interest of not offending, I'll just let my rant be for those who want to hear it.  

[Cactuar Koi]

Number 25 was my fave... is your character a role model. Let's see: A murderous ringleader, a letcherous shapeshifting thief, or my "robots are taking over the world!" paranoid guy! LOL!
Oh, I got a 17~ I'm:
17-21
"Probably not a Mary-Sue, although a character can go either way at this point. Fanfiction writers should pay attention to ensure that their characters aren't getting too Sue-ish. For an RPG or original fiction character, however, you're probably perfectly fine."
The nameless (yeah, I haven't told anyone his name nor do I have any plans of posting it here, just in case someone from the RP reads this) lecherous shapeshifting theif isn't a Mary Sue!
Keep in mind... I don't do fan-fiction! WHOO! I'm clean! X3

Janders thinks:
You can RP when...
When your character is sad in a post, you are too. Etc.

You know you can rp when you have at least 4 rpg topics in your favourites to allow easy access to each one. (soooo guilty)  

[tenihitonoko]

1. You can establish a character by interacting, without the use of non played characters straight off the bat (people you make up in your post just so that you can kill them). You can be big and bad without such pointless displays.

2. People are interested in and actually read your posts, rather than skim over them just to get the idea of where the story is headed.

3. You don't get personally offended by an adverse situation for your character in the RP (and therefore don't do everything in your power to make your character come out on top every time, instead just enjoy the ride)

4. You enjoy putting your characters in embarrassing or compromising situations (Some of the most fun, interesting RPers I've met)

5. Your character is not all about getting with another character to replace and fuel your innate desire for a real relationship. (But doing it for the lulz is A-Ok)

6. You can play an antisocial character without being an antisocial RPer (and then complaining about why no one is interacting with you).  

[MAGNUM777]

...If you've given up on playing anti-social characters since nobody interacts with them.
...when you get annoyed that YOU have to start interacting, rather than wait for others to interact with you
...when all your characters have the same name since you can't be bothered to come up with something original every single time

... when people start calling you by your rp character.

....when people say how sweet you are because of the way your rp character is

...when people ask you what your character is gonna do next

...when someone makes an rp specifically based round one of your characters

...when people request 1 on 1 rps


The first two and last one have happened to me ^_^

All of that has happened to me

You know your a good RolePlayer when...
You ahve two characters that are related but, are nothing alike.
You can come up with wierd situations that Tie totally random Characters together on the spot.
Or your really good at emprovising and nobody notices!

Or your really good at emprovising and nobody notices!

Isn't that what roleplaying is all about? Your character improvising because of what's going on with everyone else?

From the mouth of the one know as Alie Valens:
+ When you're in an rp in which characters can have an enemy and none of the other characters hates yours.  

[Call Me Nefret]

nefret2011's requirements for a good role player

+ High literacy level
+ Never lurks (as in, have their character do something pointless while waiting for someone else to initiate the action)
+ Can create amazing plotlines, but can also go along with a plotline someone else came up with
+ Doesn't go out of their way to make their character fall in love
+ Can create a villain people genuinely hate
+ Characters and stories are unique and memorable
+ Characters' personality/history on the application are paragraphs long
+ Posts are always at least 4 sentences long
+ Posts include characters thoughts and/or emotions

Yeah, the list is kinda long. Guess I have high expectations.

My anti-social characters are only anti-social because they're busy spying on everyone. ninja

I get very annoyed indeed. Lurking makes for a horrible RP.

I switch between names. Dmytri or Henri for a boy. Anna, Sydelle, or Kadence for a girl. Does that count as the same?

*Chuckles*
I was bored and read through all the pages here. Sad to say I've been through quite a few of these situations.

-When your teacher thinks you're a really good note taker when you're really replying to a RP.
*Sigh* My poor chemistry teacher, my friend and I would pass the spiral back and forth and simply couldn't stop laughing.

Another one from Alie (who insists on not joining back in until after finals)
+ When you have a character in an rp that's in a few of your other rp's and never get the storylines mixed up.
+ When you have two characters with similar personalities/pasts and still don't mix up their names.  

[MaydayMars]

Oh goodness, it's been so long since I have done any rp-ing. So rusty. XD

You know you can rp when...

- You get a pure adrenaline rush when your character gets into a fight sequence. Sometimes I'm shaking so bad that I can barely type.
-You go to baby name sites to find a perfect name for your character. Just like if it was your child.
-You run into a role player who can't spell for the life of them, and you wish you could edit their posts. BADLY.
