In all my some weird odd years of RPing (i'm gonna say a decade), I've only had 2 characters I've used from previous RPs!

*Achievement Unlocked: Character Elitism*

In my... fourteen, fifteen? I've reused few, but probably more than two assuming reboots/restarts don't count.

I typically don't reuse characters because I have that weird way of thinking that limits a character to one universe.

I think I lose interest in them if I have to reuse them. Sad, though, that a lot have just... died. I understand the idea of reusing characters, especially with RP's that simply don't lift off and give an individual time to develop their character. And, getting attached to ideas.

For me, I think it's getting attached to the idea as a whole, rather than just the idea of a character. I have a lot of ideas for characters, but they usually spark when given foundation to build up from, i.e. a roleplay/story's plot, instead of just spawning out of thin air. I normally join, and if the plot the GM provides interests me enough, then the character ideas come.

(I'm that weird person who picks the appearance first and foremost, likely the most trivial part of a CS. It just bugs me because I usually take forever to find something and it's so much easier for me to match a personality + backstory to an appearance if I've already got one locked into place. D; Does that make me weird and superficial?)

@Symphoni Oh my God...how...how did you know I liked him? Damn...you read my mind...I love him :)

Merry Christmas Everyone :)

since I am going to be busy...I'll update my stuff when I have time.

I'm trashy cause I reuse a lot of the characters I like (well, am currently reusing, in the other RP I'm in I've made two originals and remade two others) but both Sam and Kate were made from scratch~

(And if I rlly rlly get to like these chikas I'll probably reuse them as well)
(Because this sentient trash can is lazy and clings to the past)

I don't have a problem with reusing character concepts. I do it all the time. Most often, I reuse bits and pieces and adapt the rest.

Emmie, for instance, is technically a reuse of a very old character of mine that never got any play. They share a name and face claim (Bill Murray). In terms of personality, past, etc., they're (as far as I can remember) totally different.

I think the metric to look at is "does this character fit the RP and add something valuable to it?" rather than "have I ever used somebody similar before?"

I do the same thing!

Any Carringtons who want a certain relationship with Sam need to chat with me/PM me real fast before the rp starts! Things to keep in mind (if u don't wanna look at her sheet [i get that feel]): Sam doesn't hate her FAM, but she feels guilty when around them. She's stubborn and usually drunk/high. She's a literal art snob, and she has something against up tight people, boho-ish people, and people with authority/great great power.

MERRY. FRICKIN. CHRISTMAS

I hope you're happy.

Merry Christmas to everyone who's celebrating/celebrated it, ^^ And to those that don't, hope you're having an awesome day anyways. ^^

So how often does he get "you're not as fat as I expected you'd be?"

wOOPS DIDN'T THINK THAT'D WORK.

LOL.

Well.

At least it was the first post we planned to put up.

(Our current IC starter post is finished, I'm pretty certain. Just waiting on Miso to give me the word to post it.

I'll post when I can...at the moment, things have been busy so cannot post. But enjoyed the opening starter :)

I have the whole family over today for Christmas as we couldn't get together yesterday so I probably won't be able to post until some point tomorrow.

Also, merry (belated) Christmas everybody! :)

Undine and I are working on a joint post for the Emmie's first; hopefully that'll be at you guys in a couple days at the latest! Probably sooner if she's got time.

Bill Murray!
