I tend to think of characters as your dating profile. The more effort you put in, the more reasons you give a person to want to go out with you (read: do scenes with you). I like that analogy because, like a dating profile, different people are looking for different things, so if you’re not interested in selling yourself like a product to other players, that is a perfectly valid choice.

@GF I’m now going to @desc all my characters as if they were holding large fish.

My new desc:
Felt cute, might delete later.

Some people are good at writing descs and some aren’t, and being bad at it/not wanting to doesn’t detract from your skill as a writer. Im just saying to have no desc at all will never not be lame to me, it’s literally how im able to picture a character. To be honest, no, a lot of people do not adequately pose their character’s looks in a scene, because it is generally the cultural norm that they have a description for reference, or a pic!

I am so envious of you.

You can play a bossy character with an IC title who micromanages everything while waving that title around. You can be a slow poser.
What you can’t - or at least shouldn’t - do is be both of those during large, plot-critical scenes. Because now that your PC has ICly appointed themselves the only one permitted to act or make decisions, your 15-20+ minute paragraph long poses (and they’re always at least 15-20+ minutes) force everyone else to endlessly wait. I’m sympathetic to being a slower poser for whatever reason, but when you’re constantly making yourself into a bottleneck in plot scenes where everyone only has three hours at most, it’s just disrespectful of everyone else’s time. Play something else, write shorter poses, whatever.

@Rusalka I’m already on my way to the door when someone declares themself the bottleneck to all important developments - it’s obnoxious main character energy. Fuck 'em.

I learned if there’s no live and organic aspect to my RP, it fizzles. I may as well write-write – bummer.

I’m taking this as async vs live? I’m think I’m one of the odd ducks that can be just as in the moment with an async when its my turn to pose as a live one.
This may be a sort of RP survival mechanism since having the time to do actual live RP is such a rarity though.

it doesn’t make you an odd duck, lol, and async can be just as organic and vivacious as live rp. it’s 1000% a subjective personal preference thing.
