RP RULES!

2013-04-05T18:33:15Z

I thought posting these would help new people decide whether they wanted to approach me about RP here on LJ and on ~~Twitter~~ Tumblr.

1 - Venues - I mostly play on LJ but I have started playing on tumblr as thepeterpetrelli, vampirepeter an AU side blog of Peter,talldarknpsycho and natepetrelli from Heroes; shutup-spock from NuTrek and teacupride from Once Upon A Time. I will still play some on twitter but only with friends I've been playing with for awhile. The fun of playing on twitter has been fading lately.

2 - The Smut - I do not RP for the sake of smut. If smut happens, and it is dictated by the characters' chemistry, then that is cool. I RP a lot of m/m. I'm horribly out of practice with m/f, and I have never done f/f. I hate having to list the Smut so high on the list, but since it's the reason so many people RP, I felt the need.

Under no circumstances will I RP smut with a minor. I don't care if you think you're mature. I have a right to refuse to RP smut or RP in general with anyone that I don't want to play with.

3 - Relationships - Unless I'm RPing a canon relationship, I do not set up a relationship in advance. For instance if I was RPing Wesley Wyndam Price, and you are RPing Fred, there can be a pre-established relationship. If I'm playing Wesley, and you're playing an OC from Wesley's past, don't expect him to fall madly in love with you. If you'd like them to have had a past, we will need to discuss that.

Do not try to Emotionally Manipulate me into a relationship. I will not create a character simply to give you someone to RP with. Nor will I have one of my characters act in an OOC manner just to make you feel better. I have done this in the past, and I nearly destroyed my muse in the process. If my muses don't feel it, that's just the way it is. There are millions of RPers out there who might fit the role you need, so please look elsewhere.

4 - Mind Reading - Do not under any circumstances (unless you're telepathic) read my character's mind and react to it. That includes reacting to what my character's thinking with your own thoughts. My character can't see your thoughts, but I can. And it is not good RP.

If Sylar is thinking, I'd like to kill this person, and your character thinks - Sylar wants to kill me. That is perfectly acceptable, since it's pretty common knowledge that Sylar wants to kill you.

If Tate is thinking, I should take Addie to the movies and get popcorn. Your character had better not think - Isn't that nice, Tate wants to take Addie to the movies.

5 - God Modding - Do not move, assume or speak for my characters. They will react the way they want. I barely control them. If my character touches yours, you will need to write your reaction to that, and I don't expect you to write my reaction to your character's actions.

6 - IC Actions = IC Consequences - If you poke the tiger, prepare to be clawed. I play villains and assholes. If you fuck with them, they will hurt you. I will not ask for permission to strike back. It is OOC for me not to have them let you have it. So if you hit Sylar in the face with a pie, he might just rip your arms out of their sockets and beat you to death with them.

7 - OOC Knowledge - I won't use OOC knowledge in my RP with you. You'd best not use it with me. Knowing another character's canon is one thing between the muns, but between the characters it is not cool. I, as a mun, might know everything about your character from watching your fandom, but that doesn't mean my character knows it. This includes knowing about situations in RP that happened away from my character. If he didn't see it, or no one told him about it, then he doesn't know it.

8 - RL =/= RP - Should our characters become more than friends, this does not mean that you and I are a couple. This doesn't mean that I have RL feelings for you that go beyond friendship. What my character feels about you is not what I feel about you. If you start to feel about me the way your character feels about mine, please stop sniffing glue.

9 - Stalking - I do not make my characters for your entertainment. I make them for mine. I track ISPs. I read bad_rpers_suck, and I post there too. If you cross the line and start creating characters just to harrass me and mine, I will mock you for everyone on BRPers to see. If I tell you that I don't want to RP with you, I mean it.

10 - REAL LIFE COMES FIRST - I am a fairly fast tagger, so do not fear. If I haven't tagged you back, I haven't forgotten you. I'm just busy, so get over it.

11 - Drama Llamas & Trouble Makers - I will not be objective. I play with a very tight group of friends. These are people that in most cases I've been RPing with for years. I can trust my RP partners with my back, and I know they trust me with theirs. If I've invited you into my inner circle, it's because I trust and respect you. It means that I like you as a person, and I think you're a good RPer. But if I find out you've gone out of your way to cause drama, and you've hurt one of my friends, I will be done with you. PERIOD. I take sides.

If you'd like to talk about these rules, please leave me a comment. If you'd like to copy them to your LJ for your muses, you're more than welcome too. I have been RPing for a long time now, even if it hasn't all been online. I like to RP with new people, so I thought it would help to let you know where I stand.

I would like to thank sylar for letting me use her list of rules.

Somehow I've found myself working for the Company. Still not sure how that happened but it's not something I was going to turn down either. A chance to be around all these specials? Gain their powers and fuck with their minds? What's not to love? But for now I have to do all the tedious work and the first person I get to see is Sylar. He comes in and I wave him towards a chair. "Make yourself comfortable." I give him a friendly smile, hoping to put him at ease.

I page through his file, not seeing much there. They know so little about him, guess I get to do all the leg work. That's okay, I love a challenge and he is by far the best puzzle to cross my desk in a very long time. This is going to be fun. Once he's settled in the chair, I sit back and look at him. He really doesn't want to be here, does he? Makes it easier for me. "Where do you want to start?" Let him steer the conversation.
