Not a lot of RPs use animals, but I think that should be changed.
I’m not saying that everyone should play as an animal. I’m saying that characters should have pets. It gives more conversation starters, they’re adorable, and they give the character more depth.
So, do you think animals should be more common in RPs?
And what kind of animal would anyone or all of your characters have?
I agree with what you say! I always strive for depth and realism, so keeping animals and pets in mind is certainly a way to achieve that. I don’t really follow posts too much, but I think they should be mentioned more. They don’t need to be physically there—they can be used as a reference of description! Also, I think having a pet can also add personality to a character in some way
Tala Garzon will definitely have a dog. Merthiel Pacefa probably a stray cat she randomly found somewhere.
I used to have an RP where you played wolves and humans (you had to play one of each at least).
I thought it would be interesting to try, and it was actually fun to see how everyone really channeled their inner animal.
