So... who's interested in an RP?

[Lady Whimsy]

*G* It's been popping up in the threads, so I figured this would a be a great first topic for our Official Kalidore Thread! (ooh, that smells so.... official ) Kristin and I have been musing over the idea, and formulating the possibilities. To be unabashedly honest, it's been years since I've RP'd myself, so am probably quite rusty on some of the finer aspects. But I am looking forward to the opportunity to jump back in!

So to begin... I guess I might ask some questions, to help us get those creative juices flowing. Feel free to answer one or all, whatever sparks your fancy!

- What would you consider the basic elements of a good RP?
- What kind of things do you look forward to?
- What do you dislike?
- Favorite themes?
- Least favorite themes?
- What would you like to see for the Unicorns' RP?
- What do you think might be challenging about such an RP?
- Other thoughts?

Just a start, to get us all thinking. I'm hoping this thread will grow, and many good ideas come of it. I have *so much* in store for Kalidore... sometimes I get ahead of myself and jumbled and make no sense at all... so talking through ideas, concerns, and all different aspects is the best way to get me going

Anyways, it's quite late (I started writing this just before the auctions were to end, and planed to post right after. That... was two hours ago, lol) So I will have more to add tommorrow, and look forward to seeing your thoughts on the subject, too!

- What would you consider the basic elements of a good RP?
People are having fun, know rules and characters that can stick to their personalities. I rather like longer posts because it allows you to "extend" the actions, descriptions, etc.

- What kind of things do you look forward to?
Seeing my Fiera and other unicorns develop. That's always fun to do.

- What do you dislike?
Bad grammar usage. It annoys me sometimes how some posts don't flow because of wrong tenses or word usage. But it's understandable if the person is trying.

- Favorite themes?
As in rp themes? ..... well, adventure, love (yeah, Silent's a romantic...) magic?

- Least favorite themes?
I don't have any... o.O

- What would you like to see for the Unicorns' RP?
Giveaways through rping! Like "the unicorn peered into the bushes, her eyes widened by the sight she saw. She let her head droop down, sniffing the lovely colored stone with interest." And yeah, you get a breeding stone or other

- What do you think might be challenging about such an RP?
To think of good posts when you're all the way into the climax or so... yeah...

- Other thoughts?
Lets see... I'm really looking forward to these rps. I haven't rped anything equine in ages, so this would be a lovely refresher from other adoptable rps that are non equine, lol XD

It's been a little bit since I RPed, but not too long. XD About a month I'd say. I like answering all questions, so here goes.

What would you consider the basic elements of a good RP?
Unique, well-played characters and a good plot that changes with the characters is what makes a good RP for me.

What kind of things do you look forward to?
Adventure roleplays, maybe with some slightly scarier undertones. Although, considering these are unicorns, that might be hard.

What do you dislike?
Hmm....when people don't follow the RP rules. I'm fine with almost every RP, as long as it doesn't start too slowly.

Favorite themes?
None that I can think of at the moment.

Least favorite themes?
None that I can think of at the moment.

What would you like to see for the Unicorns' RP?
Things that bring out the uniqueness of this adoptable (Eg. mostly females, companions, etc.).

What do you think might be challenging about such an RP?
Coming up with how to highlight the unique things about this adoptable.

Other thoughts?
I'm really tired? XD

- What would you consider the basic elements of a good RP?

Fun. Humor. Interesting (& consistant) characters. Dynamic interactions. Detailed descriptions & surroundings.

- What kind of things do you look forward to?
Telling a durn good story. *grin*
Getting to know my own, and others, unicorns better.

- What do you dislike?
Aol speak & really bad spelling. Horribly grammar. "God modding".
SUPER AWESOME SPACEPIRATECATLADY EXTREME characters.

- Favorite themes?

Hrm. Mildly humorous roleplay - nothing TOO serious. I can do drama, but usually my writing of it is more tongue in cheek.

- Least favorite themes?

Err. See above? Also, lots of fighting... as in the physical stuff. I've never found that to translate into the written medium particularly well.

- What would you like to see for the Unicorns' RP?

Ahrm. Probably first off more of an introduction? Definitely exploring more of the world. Possibly creating new myths through a sort of NPC play.

- What do you think might be challenging about such an RP?

Learning how to RP in a believably equine fashion. Most of mine in the past have been primarily humanoid. Also, coming up with concrete goals to travel against - I see a lot of RPs get lost in the vastness of the world without having a set something to work towards.

- Other thoughts?

I'm a leeeettle anxious about it, being a bit unsure of myself, especially in a companion/equine setting, or in a more "serious" RP. (As earlier stated, a lot of my RPs have a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor, which I love). It might take me a little bit warm up, so maybe some throw-away, non-cannon "easing in" sessions might be worth it.

- What would you consider the basic elements of a good RP?
If it's the main storyline, for the plot to be somewhat organized. Otherwise, organization (Example: posting orders for RPs with a few people... makes a world of difference. XD), and spelling.

- What kind of things do you look forward to?
Trying to create my frickin' character XD

- What do you dislike?
My grammar.

- Favorite themes?
Pfff no idea. XD

- Least favorite themes?
See above

- What would you like to see for the Unicorns' RP?
The aftermath of the first breeding season, 'cause everyone would sort of be 'who are you?' XD

- What do you think might be challenging about such an RP?
Planning it, and keeping it organized.

Wait until tb's less busy *puppydog eyes*
