#rp: a long talk

[foxedthecards]

((@someflareoutwithlove continued from here doing a little time skip cause I wasn't sure what else to add to that!))

By the time he and Damien had made it back to the apartment, Jonas wanted a drink so bad he couldn't stand it. He knew it was his nerves grinding at him and even though he was so determined to get through what was probably going to be a deeply uncomfortable conversation...God he wished he wasn't doing this sober.

He gave Damien some time to get himself situated and then asked in a timid voice, " Damien you uhm....you mind me having one of your cigarettes? " He had to talk about things sober but he could indulge in at least one vice right?

" Also uh. Have you always smoked? " he asked. He absolutely couldn't fucking remember having seen Damien smoke before and quite frankly that made him feel all the worse. Because either Damien smoked all the time and his shit memory hadn't held onto it or he'd quit and started again because of stress that Jonas had caused him.

I've got some great news! I've been in contact with one of my friends in Alola, and we have finally done a long-planned trade. Dashy is now officially hers and competing on the Alolan Island Challenge, and we have a new ranch member!

Everyone say hi to Beau! She's a retired battler and ride 'mon from Poni. She's adjusting very well at the moment with the other team members, I'll update on her soon!

Who in the world is making these comics and is it the same people that did that Valentine’s one? Because they’ve been making me very happy recently. 😁

Oh, also, just something I saw weirdly coincidentally tangential to my dumb fanfic (so I’ll cut it)…

Oh, yeah, of course Mojo, don’t hold the perpetrator accountable, just immediately plot vengeance and retaliate against them.

For anyone who’s read my fic, sound familiar?!?! 🤣

In reference to the last ask you posted! Do you mind going over your tips on role-playing as that active-type character and/or digging up the thread of conversation it seems the original asker was referring to? I'm so interested in your experience role-playing for both prep in possibly joining a game someday and also bc it sounds like such good character creation and general writing advice!!!! I tried checking you blog but didnt turn up anything that touched pn it more (No worries if not though!)

Sorry for this late response!

My advice is make characters that create opportunities for story.

Reacting to a story is fun! Reacting to a character is fun! But if you're always reacting then you're creating opportunity for other characters to react, so sometimes you gotta Act to let the other characters and the story React.

To do this, characters should all want something. And not something vague (like "to be happy"), it should be something more tangible, more specific, and everything else can stem from there. It'll guide your character naturally. It's their Motivation.

More under the cut (or skip to the end for more standard advice)

For example, my dnd character Dandelion wanted more than anything to go home. "Going home" meant a lot of things, yeah it means being happy, it means he wants to be with his family, it means he wants to be loved, it means he wants to feel safe, it means he wants to belong somewhere, but the tangible idea is "go home."

Because I knew this is what he wanted most of all it guided all his actions, and his actions for better or for worse all made sense because of it (and I made it clear that was what he wanted "on-screen" on multiple occasions). So anything that involved the idea of getting home would activate him, and he'd also deeply empathize with anyone and anything else away from home/away from family. Giving him one strong, clear motivation instantly made him an active participant in the story. This made him active with other characters too, any mention of home, any mention of family, any idea of not belonging, it drew him toward them.

(as a DM now this is also what I need more than anything, what's your hook? how can I tempt you? how can I make your character move forward? how can I make your character react? also characters that create opportunity for story take a LOT of work off the DM's shoulders in my experience, it shows you're engaged and it feels less like dragging a cat around on a leash haha like "are you enjoying this? do you want this? i don't know! please give me something!")

my more standard advice?

Be a good listener

Be present (in the moment)

Be curious

Be the biggest fan of all the characters

Put your story on-screen frequently, give people the opportunity to react to it and join in on it (this can be as simple as "my character's body language changes at the mention of 'home')

Create opportunities for the other characters to have their story on-screen (ask them questions! if you know what the character's buttons are and it makes sense in the moment, press them! listen to what they're saying, pay attention to what they're doing, and react to it)

Interact with the world! Interact with each other! And make these things mean something to your character!

Your character should make mistakes. Mistakes create opportunity for everyone.

If there's a genre, or theme, play toward them earnestly.

The more you RP, the better you'll get at it! It's a process and that's okay!

my little tip for knowing whether your character is Active vs Reactive: if the story were a musical, do they have an I Want song? do they have multiple moments for songs within the narrative? have they shared a duet with another character? do their songs change, evolve? songs happen for important moments in a musical so if you're not contributing to important moments, it may mean you're reacting more than you're acting. which is fine if you're playing a game solo and are granted access to the narrative by virtue of being the designated main character, but because RPing is collaborative storytelling, everyone should be doing their part!

Greetings, friends! ⚜️

I’m a Lord Hans Capon roleplayer in search of characters from the Kingdom Come: Deliverance universe—specifically Henry roleplayers, but I’d love to interact with other characters from KCD as well.

I’m not new to roleplay or KCD, but I am new to Tumblr roleplay. If there’s any do’s or dont’s, feel free to let me know, but I’d love to just keep things simple so we can all have fun.

I’m an adult and fine with roleplaying NSFW, so please be 18+! Minors will be blocked.

Short, para, and multi-para roleplays are equally welcome. I prefer multi-para because I like to write a lot and have a decent amount to work with in return, but I also don’t mind a little dash banter.

As incentive, I’m a decent-ish editor and would be more than happy to make icons/edits for my roleplay partners if needed/wanted. 💛

If you’d like to be mutuals, you’re welcome to follow me at @lordofrattay

Audentes fortuna iuvat!

Looking for Roleplayers ᯓ ⁺₊ ♱ .ᐟ

Hello hello, name’s Dead (20, she/her) and I’m looking to get back into roleplaying and find some new rp partners interested in building plots and creating character dynamics and development! It’s been some time since I’ve gotten in to doing some lengthy or rping with plots and I may be a little rusty so please bear with me :)) With this in mind here’s some other things you need to know about me…

Status: Closed

݁ᛪ༙ — My writing switches between semi-literate to literate depending how motivated I am to write, I usually try to write one thick chunk or maybe two paragraphs to avoid writing any one-liners. I will also try my best to mirror my writing to my partners. I’m not picky with my partner’s writing as long as it’s semi-literate or above.

݁ᛪ༙ — I have a life outside of tumblr and discord, so please bear with me with my slow responses! With this in mind, I’m more active between Mondays and Fridays as well as weekends. Not to mention timezones are also funky. You may @ me after 4-5 days if I happen to forget about the rp but please don’t spam me.

݁ᛪ༙ — I’m all for platonic plotting between characters as well as adding romance, when it comes to pairings I’m more comfortable writing MLM as nearly all of my OCs are male, (I am open into trying MLNB though!) since writing female characters aren’t really my strong suit. I am a-okay adding any dead-dove or NSFW elements in our rps (though I much prefer them to be side-plot things rather than the main thing that’s driving the story forward).

݁ᛪ༙ — I also rp in a few fandoms and can play a few canon characters. I’m on board for writing canon x canon ships, but I will NOT be doing any canon x oc pairings/double-ups.

And speaking of fandoms, here’s a list of them that I write for:

ִ ࣪𖤐 Percy Jackson (OCs only)

ִ ࣪𖤐 Little Nightmares

ִ ࣪𖤐 Outlast

ִ ࣪𖤐 Pirates of the Caribbean

ִ ࣪𖤐 Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

ִ ࣪𖤐 Homicipher

ִ ࣪𖤐 Venom (Marvel movies)

ִ ࣪𖤐 Alien Stage

ִ ࣪𖤐 Toilet Bound Hanako-kun

݁ᛪ༙ — Besides fandoms I also have a handful of fandomless ocs I’m more than open to use as well! I can’t remember nor do I have a lot of fandoms I used write for but I’m more than comfortable in using my ocs for rping and plotting things with them. If I happen to find other fandoms I enjoy I might add them to the list! On that note, plotting with ocs in fandomless rps is something I’m more interested with creating plots that are action/adventure, crime, or horror oriented roleplays. I’m MORE than open to plot any roleplays with AUs!

݁ᛪ༙ — Another important thing to add, ageless or minor accs under 18 DNI, I’m not comfortable roleplaying with younger people! If you are requesting for any creepy/weird tropes or you’re being an asshole in general, I will block you and end the discussion from there.

݁ᛪ༙ — Lastly, if you disappear on me without a word for more than a month, I will assume you’re no longer interested in the roleplay and I will leave the DM from there.

If anyone’s interested in rping and building a plot with me feel free to drop your discord tag or interact with this post! :)
