What's the most things you've seen in RPs?

[RoflsMazoy]

I'm curious as to the most of one thing you've seen in an RP. I was gonna ask which one has the most posts, but I'm pretty sure that's Phoenix Wing which has about 12,000 posts right now.

Still, what is the most of one thing you've ever seen in an RP? This might be good for some research studies or something.

Also, don't mind the awkwardly worded title.

The word "dark."
Leather dusters.
Dead parents.

Katanas

People don't realise that there are several different types of Japanese swords like the wakizashi and tachi... but they always go for the generic Katana.

@NuttsnBolts

I also see katanas a lot they long short and so on but in truth there are many different types but like he said...

The Wakizashi is a bit shorter and the Tachi is longer and in general you get the Nodachi which is really long like ranging from a meter to as long as five or more meters, that sword type gets a bit crazy

[Ellri]

umm... whats your source for this "five or more meters" bit,@Aura Lodestone?

• Shounen supernatural protagonists.
• Academy settings.
• Bar fights or other forms of awkward/cliche character introductions.

@Ellri

google and Wikipedia are your friends, that and the minimum length is set there was never really a maximum put on nodachi's though long long swords are not pratical and were made to take out horses not people

@Cynder

That sounds interesting, what's the most awkward character introduction you've ever seen?

But that's only 3.7m. We sell 4 meter long pole saws at work and they're hard to swing around even when retracted to half length. IF there is a 5 meter long sword out there it couldn't possibly be used for anything productive.

[Ellri]

Hmm... interesting.

We our quick search revealed the common lengths only. But your statement there about practical use @NuttsnBolts, is one we had in mind too. Over a certain length, a bladed weapon isn't of much practical use. Sure, you can use it, but it ain't practical.

Its one thing to make a long weapon. Its quite another to make a useful long weapon.

@Silverwind Blade

Aren't those just characters in general? Are you trying to say that there are other archetypes?

I've seen a lot of more interesting and varied characters since I've been roleplaying that don't fit that mold at all. I've seen lots of outgoing, sociable characters who are just as interesting and exciting to play alongside, if not more so. And far less repetitive and boring, too.
Though, I realize your comment was meant as sarcasm, of course.
Or at least, I hope so.

@RoflsMazoy

I'm generally referring to the stiff dialogue when a character forces interaction with another one. Or typically, when they're trying too hard to be "cool, interesting or tragic". And the most awkward introduction I have ever personally dealt with would be one through Skype RP in which my partner would go after males and hit them with quarterstaff out of supposed "fear" before revealing who she was and trying to tag along with the party members who she just hit a few minutes ago.

@Ellri

Ah, knew it reminded me of something...
Bleach-Gin Ichimaru's Bankai

From seeing that, they did say it has one practical use if you forget something. :P

@TheDookieNut

Does that mean you have seen many gender neutral/non-human characters with depth?

[TheDookieNut]

@RoflsMazoy

No it means Ive barely ever met a character with depth. I know of maybe 3 off the top of my head.
