It's happening again. I have been visited by a soviet mad scientist, a king, a penguin prince of darkness, a house plant god thing, a mystical ancient member, a tired reaper (thank god) + a greeting.

*ahem*
Phrasing.
All natural. All intentional.
My word wall's basically been stated, so I'll just echo my main premise and expand if someone wants my bollocks.
Yes, modern sheets tend to be bloated. I hate it when there's 5 gifs in a sheet - that can bugger right off. Super formatting? Meh. Extensive detailing of every element of a character before the roleplay even starts? Uh, how? Don't you kinda get that info from the roleplay itself? The elements I consider essential are name, a broad indication of 'type' if applicable (containing things like race, age, whatnot as appropriate), appearance, abilities and a gist of personality and/or backstory, the most latter of which I find critical at a quality control level.
I've moved away from group roleplaying at a formal, public level for the most part save for a rare few places. I prefer the less formal structure of a 1x1 or even a group I assemble of my own accord consisting of people I figure would have the required level of common sense to pass the vetting by default. This is partially why I indulge public roleplays at all anymore - they are a recruitment sphere for my internal content. If I was interested in constructing a public roleplay, however, I would consider the aforementioned elements essential in quality control and seeing the baseline to use in measuring characters.

I'm afraid my interest went on a steady downward spiral. I hate it when I do that, but perhaps it's best to get that out of the way now before I start and proceed to pop.
