Noble Arms - The ASEAN War, Second Thread

@WSilversun, Provisional Approval Given.

Do You Have RP Pet Peeves?

"Can you change your character from a soft boy to a tough guy and make him 6 foot plus and muscular instead of 5'7" and skinny. Oh and can you change his name, his family, where he comes from oh and can you change this, this and this about the plot."

Someone messaged me asking to roleplay with them. Okay, cool.

But like they want me to change everything about my character. They want me to make him taller, and stronger, remove his disabilities, change him from a soft, artistic boy into a famous athletic bad boy, make him a different ethnicity etc.

I declined as I didn't feel like we could work together as writing partners and stated that I didn't feel like I could meet what she was asking, as it was nothing like the original concept/prompt I had in mind for James. I post prompt ideas looking for certain types to possibly play my boys against, but I am always willing to work with someone if they wanna play as someone else. I always specify that in my requests, and even state I am happy to come up with something together but I am *not* changing my character.

But to want me to change everything makes me feel like they'd be better suited to finding other partners, no? I just don't understand why you'd message people claiming to be interested when your "changes" make it something different alltogether.

And on that;

Why do people have an issue with a disabled person *playing* a disabled character? I always make people aware I have disabilites and how they can impact me in terms of reply times, needing reminding to respond, etc.

I get "yeah but playing as an autistic/deaf character is still wrong you're making the disabilities seem like fiction and making me feel uncomfortable playing against a disabled character/writer" as if I am doing it to be an arsehole.

@SammyMcW

I am autistic too. Also, I hope you find a better partner soon.

That said, for the longest time, I denied that my OCs were autistic too because that was... well, let's just say I was more selfish than I am now.

But yeah, my present OCs are autistic.

The Elder Scrolls: Before the Great War

Weynon Priory, West of Chorrol

The Confessor's beneficient expression held as she realized that there's a reason most sane Alchemists didn't just throw together ingredients and hope for the best; the clash of strong, volatile personalities, especially without a central figure to rally around, promised both benefits and drawbacks - or both. So Khaliya's suggestion came as a godsend, and she responded quickly, saying, "Indeed; it would be good for this motley fellowship to decide on a leader. As you do not seem to be offering yourself for that position, who would you suggest? I will be blunt - Most of the group have disadvantages; Meen-La is a planner but is a condemned criminal, while Alexios is too obviously tied to the Imperial Legion."

She then continued, "And as for me, once you rendezvous with the delegates from The Reach and Orsinium at Bruma, I need to have already arranged the actual negotiations in the Imperial City itself, while convincing the Emperor to put his seal into the treaties made. This means I will have departed the Priory some minutes before you. Honestly, if you are not uncomfortable with Arnvidr as a leader for the party as a whole, or if I was mistaken about you not desirous for leadership, what would you think about him or you taking up that burden?"

Confessor Esselenia had to be honest; maybe it would be best to give leadership of this fellowship to someone who clearly did not want it, precisely because they did not want it - It meant they were less likely to abuse their power. Nevertheless, she would respect Khaliya's refusal if she gave it, expecting the job to fall to Arnvildr - The others did not sound like they were considering leadership at all, nor was she certain they were good bets...

A Third Thread will be coming soon; we just need one person to apprehend the Cambodian Prime Minister and end the arc!

@Suicharte, interesting! What are your posting expectations?

Do You Have RP Pet Peeves?

If a status bar complainer saw this post, do you think they’d change their ways or just write me off as a jerk?

@BrokenPromise

Sorry for the ping, but what about using the Status Bar to plug your RPs? Is that annoying?
