There is this one character who is just so hard for me to write. Like we be getting behind on replies and I feel bad for the person who is waiting but idk how to put myself in his shoes like I do with all my other characters

Ooo well there are quite a bit of threads that can aid you with that—if you don’t want to just like dip the character (LMAO) then yeah it might help to do some of those character development excercise just to get into their head

Loike:

“Flesh out Your Rp Characters” - essentially Cali has posted a bunch of questions and you can scroll through and answer like any you want—just check out the OP for some guidelines and such. It’s really helpful with getting to know your character some more yknow

@bisou made (correct me if I’m incorrect about that-) this slideshow that has like 12309462 for a singular character, so definitely making your own copy and like going through can make you really immerse yourself into le character

Also, Brooke’s RP character question is like very useful for developing your characters, so if you ever feel like doing a sort of Q&A for your character, just sign up here and make sure to ask questions on this weeks thread (and like every week after that but yes)!

ALSO OKAY making picrews (picrew.me) of your character can be really like helpful into getting you into that character, especially if you’re really thinking about like outfit choice and expression they’d probably wear. And if it’s not helpful it’s still really fun okay so win win truly

Answering the questions on this thread (quite accurately called Extra Long Sheet of Character Questions AHA) could help ya too

AlsOOO take the zodiac quiz—some of the questions are vv random so you actively have to step into your character yknow. And at the end it’ll give you the sign that most matches their personality according to the answers you gave! So you get a lil more insight on who they are yknow and I mean if the zodiac sign really vibes with the idea of them that you had in mind, you could always looka t other sources to find out more traits associated with that sign! There is a specific question about like what planet or something they’re most associated with, so for that, if you didn’t want to just, guess, this website is pre helpful

Speaking of personality though, the https://www.16personalities.com/ test is SO HELPFUL. Like there are a LOT of questions, but it’ll usually take under 10-15 minutes and then you get like multiple pages of informtion about their personality.

There’s honestly a whole lot more like but I think you get the point :joy:

I really need to ask this person to reply but... I feel so bad about it. Like, what if there going through something? or what if they feel like I’m rushing them?

It’s really okay to remind people of replying; I don’t think they’ll be mad about you reminding them at least just once, because—well—you’re roleplaying with them. I understand the worry, but reminding them of the reply doesn’t just actually remind them of it but also let you know why or when they are replying. Maybe, yes, they are busy but forgetting can also be a reason. Really, you won’t know unless you ask ^~^

Especially if you think you’ve waited for too long. You can also reassure them that they don’t need to rush over it, though!

actually guilty of this because I’ve not been replying to an RP post for quite a long time now

Sometimes I really want to reply to certain characters more than others but I also don’t want to be rude by not responding to people who had a character before the one I want to reply to

To be honest I’m confused hahaha more painful laughing :flushed: but ummm if it’s just replying and you’re not stepping

oh wait ok I think I know what you’re talking about now!

ok so there are really some times when you’re not motivated or your interest is not balanced and the other shadows the other, and I think that’s okay… I’ve been there. Yes, the others will feel unfair about it though (I’ve also been there) :sweat_smile:

you can just maybe say you don’t want the conversation anymore, or leave the conversation? though if you still want it, you don’t need to reply with really long posts. just reply to move the conversation and maybe things can get as interesting as the other too? :woman_shrugging:

How do I write a cruel character? She’s the daughter of a man eating witch…I mean, I could make the apple fall far from the tree…help.

channel all your inner rage

haha well separate your own conscience from the character you’re making and tbh just go crazy :eyes: also, you can narrow down or make the term “cruel” more specific too! like, who are they cruel to? why and how are they cruel? etc…

ok so the first thing that comes to mind is looking at the chaotic/evil alignments-

PM me if you want further help?
