RP Basics

Roleplay Methods

I am comfortable doing:

• Discord

• Deviantart Notes/Comments/Chat
• Skype

OOC Chat/Headcanoning/RP Planning Methods 

^{Headcanoning:  Ideas, beliefs, backstories, or character  interactions/dynamics that  are not necessarily RP'd, but plotted and  accepted as canon.}

I am comfortable doing:

• Discord
• Google Docs
• Forums
• Deviantart Notes/Comments/Chat
• Skype
• Other 

Participants

I am comfortable with:

• One on one RPs
• Up to three people
• Up to four people
• Five or more people
• As big as possible!

Roleplay Style

I am comfortable with:

• Adv. Lit/Multi-Para RPs (multi as in 2-5)
• Lit/Para RPs
• Speed RPs (1-2 Sentences)
• Script RPs (Chat format)
• Headcanons

Post Length

I usually write:

• One or two sentences
• One or two paragraphs
• Two to five paragraphs
• More than five paragraphs (Unless its an opening post, then it might be pretty long.)
• A few pages worth
• Various lengths

**Note: I tend to write as much or as little calls for a reply. I hate having inner monologue after inner monologue, so heavy dialogue replies will be shorter than exposition replies. Flow is more important than amount to me!

I am comfortable role-playing with people who write:

• One or two sentences
• One or two paragraphs
• Two to five paragraphs
• More than five paragraphs
• A few pages worth <- intimidating as hell, no hope of keeping up with this
• Various lengths

Roleplay Speed

I usually reply:

• ASAP (within minutes) after my partner's post
• Within an hour
• Within the same day
• Within the same week
• Within the same month
• Longer than a month (Sometimes I get really busy or distracted and can go a long time without replying! 
• At random/variable times

**Note: time between reply depends heavily on if it's a big scene (vs an easier one- I want my post to be good!) and how much my job is kicking my ass at any given moment. I have done sessions where I set aside time to rapid fire RP with people, and that's a ton of fun, but don't expect those to be able to happen very frequently!

I expect my partner to reply:

• ASAP (within minutes) after I post
• Within an hour
• Within the same day
• Within the same week (or two)
• Within the same month
• Longer than a month
• At random/variable times

I'm not picky about my partner's frequency! Same day, same week, an hour- all is fine! If replies start staggering for months or more at a time, I will probably start to wonder if you're losing steam for the RP though. Please, please don't be afraid to reach out and ask for a time skip / new RP / end scene if you're losing your juice for the current RP!

RP Partner Etiquette 

Roleplay Reminders 

I am okay with getting reminders to reply to an RP:

• When I've mentioned I got something going on IRL
• When there is a deadline for the RP submission
• After 5 or 10 or 15 minutes
• After an hour
• Within the same day
• The next day
• If I haven't replied in a full week
• If I haven't replied in more than one week or longer

I do have a full time job and a shitton of hobbies that I do alongside RPing. That being said, I also have brain damage from COVID, and easily forget things. If it's been over a week and I haven't replied, please feel free to gently poke me about it, but please don't hound me constantly for a reply.

I tend to remind people to reply to an RP:

• When there is a deadline for the RP submission
• After 5 or 10 or 15 minutes
• After an hour
• Within the same day
• The next day
• If you haven't replied in a full week
• If you haven't replied in more than one week or longer
• Let me know if/when you would like to be reminded

Unless you specifically ask me to poke you, I tend to leave people to their own devices unless it's stretching on like... two weeks? I am an adult with an adult life, and I am sure you are as well! I'm not gonna harass you constantly for a reply.

Roleplay Requests

I like getting requests:

• From anyone and everyone at any time!
• When I ask for role-plays
• If we're in the same RP group
• From friends and acquaintances
• From friends only

Corrections

I am comfortable getting corrections when:

• It's purely grammar or formatting 
• I missed a detail about your post/someone else's post
• I missed an action or detail about your character or someone else's character
• It's to help with realism or historical/canon fact
• Other: If I forget a previous plot point or detail
• Never

If something straight up does not make sense in my reply as well, please ask! You are also welcome to talk to me about canon facts, but know that RPing is just a hobby for me, and I'm not looking for hyper-realism. Unless it like... breaks the game or whatever, I'm probably not gonna care too much.

Expectations 

I expect my RP partner to:

• Have read my character app before we RP
• Just know general info, but is not expected to have read the app
• Read more of my character app as it becomes relevant/necessary
• NOT read my character app at all before we RP

Romantic Relationships

**  Important: Communication is the key to a real life relationship,  it  shouldn't be abandoned for a fictional on either! Be sure to talk to your partners when considering romance!

Shipping

If I'm not shipping, I'm bored. 

I am comfortable shipping my characters:

• Never
• Our character know each other deeply
• Our character know each other deeply, and I know I can trust the role-player
• At the first sign of flirting!
• Only if the role-player and I plan it
• It depends on the character
• If it develops naturally

I am fine with strict friendships, unmutual pining, and with romance! I tend to mostly ship if I notice chemistry between my character and the other(s). Feel free to ask my character's opinion romantically about a character, or what would likely win them over!

If you want to ship with my characters:

• Talk to me about it from the start
• Talk to me about it once our characters know each other
• Talk to me about it once they both have some feelings for each other
• Talk to me about it when they finally decide that want to go beyond hugging
• Play it by ear and keep to what develops naturally 

Speed

When shipping my characters, I like the romance to happen:

• Swift as lightning! 
• Fast, but not super fast
• In about three months
• At a slow burn
• If it naturally happens, if ever
• My relationships know no speed

Smut

When my characters gets intimate, I prefer:

• To skip the act entirely
• To write the build up, but skip the act
• To write the act only if it is very special, but otherwise skip it
• To write the act all the way through

Romantic Artwork

When it comes to artwork depicting our relationship please:

• Do not post it at all without talking to me
• Post cuddles and hugs
• Post kisses
• Post it even if it's explicit
• Do not post it at all if it's explicit
• Do not post explicit art where I can see it, but draw/post what you like

As my friend who I ripped this RP Comfort Post from perfectly states: Post everything you draw and show me immediately I want to see all of it I live for that shit give it to me

Dramatics

**  Important: Always be sure to communicate with your partner  individually  if you think you are about to go outside their comfort  zones even just  the slightest bit!!

Violence

When it comes to violent situations, I am comfortable with:

• No violence at all
• I'm fine with verbal arguments
• Some violence, like a paper cut, or an accidental elbow to the face
• Mild violence, such as punching, kicking, hair pulling
• Violence, such as stabbings
• Beyond violence, such as torture and more

If you are going to do something violent, please:

• Don't do it at all.
• Talk to me about it first.
• Surprise me!

Dramatic Artwork

When it comes to artwork depicting a dramatic or potentially violent scene please:

• Do not post any violent scenes that that happened between our characters
• Talk to me about it before posting
• Post what you like!**

**Barring certain very obvious things. Please don't draw my character getting viciously brutalized without talking to me first ._.

Other

Touching

I am okay with my characters being touched if:

• It's not romantic/sexual
• It's not violent
• It's something customary (hand-shaking)
• You check with me first
• It depends on the character
• I don't care, so long as it works within the story

General Artwork

I am fine with art being done of my characters:

• By anyone, anytime!
• If I've given permission
• If it's In Character
• Never

Triggers

None in an RP setting, but I will not graphically depict particularly unsavory things, and I do not want my characters involved in them. Pedophilia, incest, beastiality, sexual assault / rape, etc. are all things that are off the table RPing out. I am okay with a character having sexual assault / etc. in their backstory, but I'd prefer to avoid referencing it heavily.
