RP Mem

Where and when did you start rping?
1998. It was a Maverick Hunters rp based off of the Megaman X games. It was pretty epic and on a forum.

Do you prefer first-person comment spam or prose logging?

Prose
What was the first character you ever played?

Lady Rose. My god awful Reploid Maverick Hunter.

Who's your favourite character to play now, and why?

I don't have one really. It depends on the day and what mood I'm in. If I have a favorite it is because no matter what mood I'm in I can pull up an OC I've had for a couple years. She's more fun than anyone else for me.
What's the longest you've ever consistently played one character?

Three years.
What's your biggest rp pet peeve?
I hate perfect characters. Give me flaws or give me death.

Do you read rp secrets and the anon meme?
Not seriously. I get linked to what is called wank and head desk a whhole lot.

If you've played in public before, do you prefer community or journal based games?

I like both equally for different reasons.
Would you rather play with someone who's very very ic but a mediocre writer or someone who isn't always ic (but not terrible) and a great writer.
I prefer someone who isn't always ic. It shakes things up and can make the writing better for everyone.

Do you have an "rp partner"?

I have people I have played with for years. I call them buddies not partners because we haven't written a contract or anything. We just agree to have fun.
Do you ever stalk any casts, games, or players?

Only when they start it first. I'm kidding. I only stalk friends when they talk about fun times. If I don't like a person I don't look at their RP. But if I like them I might look at the games they are in because I like seeing what kind of fun they get into.
In your opinion, which part of an app is the most difficult/annoying?
Character history. It's important so I have a hard time with it.

Are you one of those people who has to customize their character's journal layout and userinfo?
Not always.

What was your first game?
A Maverick Hunter game.

Are there any canons you avoid tagging characters from?
Not really. I give every cannon a chance.

Most memorable scene in any thread?
That's hard to say. I think I have to say
Do you rp sex?
Yes. There are things I won't do but I'm okay rping sex with people.

Do you play more males than females?
I would say in games I do. Out of games I tend not to. But in my DC games I've been playing all girls so far.

What won't you rp?That's complicated. But child abuse or abuse in general really bugs me.

Dressing rooms?
Not really.

Ever rped a pairing?
Um. I've rped couples. I'm not good with them but I try to do pairings well when presented with them.

Favorite place to play: musebox, open posts, public games, private games?
open posts are easiest.

Talking rp with someone else who plays your character: fun or awkward?

Awkward.

Griffen has slowly started to lose his own insecurities and come into a state in which he is no longer as afraid of the dangers of the world around him as he once was. He feels more comfortable establishing friendships with people he wouldn’t normally try to even speak to. He has grown to care for the team and is willing to do anything he can to protect them.

He still hasn’t quite figured out how to talk to women. He doesn’t think he ever will be fully comfortable talking to them. He still is nervous at the idea of Ohu and Halbjorn deciding to fix his lack of experience. He might not show it outwardly but he does think highly of both of them. He just doesn’t understand them because his world exists in numbers and theirs is more or less centered on the real world.
He really doesn’t understand Asleif and Marlow. He has run numbers on how much power their spells puts out and it puzzles him. He would never ask them to explain it to him. He is just trying to accept that there are thing science can’t answer and it leaves his head hurting.
Sydney gets his respect for dealing with the mad house. Simon still gets nervous looks from Griffen because while Griffen can forget Halbjorn is bigger and can crush him like a pebble Griffen has no idea how to relate to Simon. Griffen responds to this but quietly fading into the background whenever Simon is involved.

Zoey is the easiest for Griffen to cope with. He lets her have all the time she wants with Zelbar and Spencer. He treats her as if she is older and thinks that she is very capable of being responsible for things. So he allows her to be in charge of the dog’s treats as a sign of trust. He trusts her to not go overboard in the face of dogs.

Dear Santa,

I haven't done this in years Zoey asked me to do it.

I have few wishes.

I would like to be braver.

I want to finish my thesis when it's time to start writing it.

Please don't give Ohu a lightsabre even though he really wants it. The very idea scares me.
