ROLE PLAY BASICS


LOCATIONS


I am comfortable doing:

x by DiegoVainilla Comment 
x by DiegoVainilla Chats 
Question mark by kreelah Notes 
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Forum 
tick by DiegoVainilla Skype/Discord/TeamSpeak
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Google Docs 
tick by DiegoVainilla Other

My favourite place to role-play would be in forums or dedicated Google docs. I really enjoy client based role-play too (things like Second Life or MMOS) 

OOC/HEADCANONING/RP PLANNING METHODS


Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use)  Skype/Discord/TeamSpeak
tick by DiegoVainilla  Google Docs
tick by DiegoVainilla Others (Line, DA notes...)

I really enjoy long term campaigns and set world setting RP, so if ideas arise about locations or events I really love hearing about it.

PARTICIPANTS


I am comfortable with:

Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) One on one role plays
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Up to three people
tick by DiegoVainilla Up to four people
tick by DiegoVainilla Five or more people
Question mark by kreelah As big as possible

I most often focus on small group roleplay or one-on-one but for events and big campaigns I would be up for lots of participants! 

POST LENGTH


I usually write about:

tick by DiegoVainilla One or two sentences
tick by DiegoVainilla  One or two paragraphs
tick by DiegoVainilla Two to five paragraphs
Question mark by kreelah  More than five paragraphs
Question mark by kreelah  A few pages worth
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Varies dependent on what is going on

I am comfortable role-playing with people who write:

tick by DiegoVainilla  One or two sentences
tick by DiegoVainilla  One or two paragraphs
tick by DiegoVainilla  Two to five paragraphs
tick by DiegoVainilla  More than five paragraphs
tick by DiegoVainilla  A few pages worth
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Varies dependent on what is going on

POST STYLE


I am all right with:
tick by DiegoVainilla Literate/Paragraph
Question mark by kreelah Scripted scenarios 

I definitely would rather have some planning rather than none when it comes to setting up a role-play but unless it is a very specific event, I would rather it develop naturally rather than being stuck to one set of reactions.


RP SPEED


I usually reply: 

Question mark by kreelah ASAP (within minutes) after my partner's post 
tick by DiegoVainilla Within an hour
tick by DiegoVainilla Within the same day 
tick by DiegoVainilla Within the same week 
x by DiegoVainilla Within the same month 
x by DiegoVainilla Longer than a month 
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) At random/variable times 

I expect my partner to reply: 
tick by DiegoVainilla ASAP (within minutes) after my partner's post 
tick by DiegoVainilla Within an hour
tick by DiegoVainilla Within the same day 
tick by DiegoVainilla Within the same week 
tick by DiegoVainilla Within the same month 
x by DiegoVainilla Longer than a month 
tick by DiegoVainilla At random/variable times 

I like to try to set aside time every day where I can sit down and reply to role-play posts but sadly IRL takes priority. I would hate to rush anybody into a response and feel it's better to wait for a well thought response rather than try to force a fast one. And that mentality applies to me too, I want to give my best effort to posting after all!


RP REMINDERS


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

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

I tend to remind people to reply to an RP:

x by DiegoVainilla  When there is a deadline for the RP submission 
x by DiegoVainilla After 5 or 10 or 15 minutes 
x by DiegoVainilla After an hour
x by DiegoVainilla Within the same day 
tick by DiegoVainilla The next day
tick by DiegoVainilla If you haven't replied in a full week 
tick by DiegoVainilla If you haven't replied in more than one week or longer 

 I'm pretty good with waiting if I've been informed of what's going on, or if I just really enjoyed where the RP was going. More than 2 weeks without communication is when I will likely start to poke about and find out what's going on. ; v; I don't like to close on-going RP, but if all response stops it means the story gets removed from the timeline of events. The chances are if I haven't responded IC or even said anything OOCly for a good couple of days, I have just been super busy or forgotten! Don't be afraid to just give me a poke and check in on me but try to remember IRL will always come first. I will always let people know if there will be a longer delay in my responses to RP!



Problem Solving


If I mess something up in RP, I'm comfortable fixing it when...

tick by DiegoVainilla - I've broken the laws of physics or it's immersion breaking
tick by DiegoVainilla - I missed something in someone's post.
tick by DiegoVainilla - I missed something about someone's character.
tick by DiegoVainilla - It makes a whole lot of sense.
tick by DiegoVainilla - There's a great opportunity to make plot/story.
Question mark by kreelah - Other
x by DiegoVainilla - Never

Expectations


I expect my RP partner to:

Question mark by kreelah To have read my character sheet before we RP
Question mark by kreelah To not read my character app at all before we RP
tick by DiegoVainilla To read as much of my character app as is reasonable to go on before we RP
tick by DiegoVainilla  To read more of my character app as it becomes relevant/necessary

For RP I don't expect to meet a character for the first time and be faced with the situation where they already know every detail about my character, it's a little immersion breaking when things like that happen. Unless the situation calls for certain details to already be known: for instance, if my OC were a well known thief/villain and you had come across a wanted poster or been hired to capture me, you're much more likely to know my general appearance and name.


ROLE-PLAY REQUESTS


I like getting requests from:

Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Anyone and everyone at any time
tick by DiegoVainilla When I ask for role-plays
tick by DiegoVainilla From friends and acquaintances
x by DiegoVainilla From friends only

I love meeting and getting to know new people, and especially if anyone has shown interest in wanting to role-play, I rarely say no!


ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS


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

SHIPPING


I am comfortable shipping my characters:

x by DiegoVainilla Never
tick by DiegoVainilla Our character know each other deeply
tick by DiegoVainilla Our character know each other deeply, and I know I can trust the role-player
Question mark by kreelah At the first sign of flirting
x by DiegoVainilla Only if the role-player and I plan it
tick by DiegoVainilla It depends on the character

If you want to ship with my characters:

Question mark by kreelah Talk to me about it from the start
tick by DiegoVainillaTalk to me about it once our characters know each other
tick by DiegoVainilla Talk to me about it once they both have some feelings for each other
tick by DiegoVainilla Talk to me about it when they finally decide that want to go beyond hugging


SPEED


When shipping my characters, I like the romance to happen:
x by DiegoVainillaSwift as lightening
Question mark by kreelah Fast, but not super fast
tick by DiegoVainilla Happens in about three months
tick by DiegoVainilla Slow and steady wins the race
tick by DiegoVainilla Slugs know what's up
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) My relationships know no speed. They happen if they happen

A lot of my characters are single, and the ones who aren't are still rather flexible. It depends on how often and how detailed the RP is but shipping is very possible! If it happens naturally in RP then you are much more likely to happen than asking OOCly to hook up, I don't RP for the ships!


TOUCHING


I am okay with my characters being touched if:

Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) It's not romantic/sexual
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) It's not violent
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) It's something that usually happens (e.g.: shaking hands when you meet someone).
Question mark by kreelah You check with me first
x by DiegoVainilla It depends on the character

SMUT


When my characters gets intimate, I prefer:

x by DiegoVainilla To skip the act entirely
tick by DiegoVainilla To write the build up, but skip the act
tick by DiegoVainillaTo write the act only if it is very special, but otherwise skip it
tick by DiegoVainilla To write the act all the way through

If something develops naturally over the course of a long-term RP that's brilliant, but don't be scared to just say you're interested in pursuing a ship with my characters even before we start! Just remember that it's never a guarantee that ships will happen. It could end up being just a casual fling if that's how the story rolls.

ROMANTIC ARTWORK


When it comes to artwork depicting our relationship please:

x by DiegoVainilla Do not post it at all without talking to me
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Post it if it is cuddles and hugs
Beating Heart Emote (Free to Use) Post it if it is kisses
 Post it if it is much more
 Do not post it at all if it depicts sexual acts
 Do not post it where I can see it, but draw what you like

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:

 Attempt the action and give a chance to avoid/respond
 Don't do it at all
 Talk to me about it first
 Surprise me

I'm free for all things dramatic but please, please remember never to auto-hit or complete an entire action without giving me the chance to really respond!

DRAMATIC ARTWORK


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


GENERAL ARTWORK


I am fine with art being done of my characters:

 If it's In character
 If you don't know me/barely know me
 If you are my friend 
 If you ask me first 
 Never
 Only if it's a finished/polished piece

I'm a massive lover of RP related artwork and doodles, so I'll never say no!
