Actually the short run TV show was only loosely based on the concepts. I do think Someone should think about trying to redo the show closer to what the books had, Maybe an Anime style show would work best, since well lets face it Dresden is not going to be easy to cast, 6'6 skinny dark hair.

For me I am lucky enough to have picked my Characters early.

I usually get a crazy Idea such as:

D&D Elf in the Modern World (Mariel Martog)
An Inquisitor from 40,000 years in the future (Tiburon Ordo Malleus)
A pre-teen Alien Invader (the Irken)
An insane time traveling Alien (Malkavian Who)
A demon who wants to be good (Ran Marchosias)
A Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirl (Bhump)

This is just my top Characters I have a bunch of Alts most are on other servers so as to keep me from filling up valuable space on Virtue.

Some of my bad ones include
Living breathing cheese (Cheddar Cheese)

Actually, its not. This thread is not a hate thread on F2P, its just a question. Stay or Move, aimed only at those who will give F2P a chance.

... Wait I have one as well... it has all my buff and debuff characters

Remember as a VIP free server transfers once a month

A good sane voice of reason.

I have been playing COH for some time now, I usually sit with rum when I play, a lot of my friends are RPers, and I have seen all kinds, I would rather not have my 'pretendy fun-time' ruined by a serial rapist nazi who can't be arrested or killed because he has (OMFG) power.

Its not that I hate RPers, its I have delt with them all and choose not to deal with ____'s

People always think I'm the diplomatic type...Odd you should too.

Generally the typical Mary/Marty Sues are no big, since it comes with the fan fiction territory. Funny thing is when player A says 'player B has a Mary sue' when Player A also has a Mary sue.

One reason why I play so many humor based characters is to avoid the Mary Sue quality at all costs.

I was going to compare with Stephenie Meyer than realized that she wasn't emo enough to be compared with some of the RP I have seen here.

Actually you didn't read that right. Me I play lots of characters who have lots of issues, but the example was given of a character not of my creation, because I wanted to make a point about good RP concepts. My only issue here is when people create negative personas which are clearly reflections of the dark parts of their psych.

When looking at a 'Bio' or at how they create the RP persona it can become clear that the character is an extension of the player.

Someone earlier said RP players are similar to writers, I do agree with that statement. Because, we are all authors when playing the RP side of this game.

Look at he classic writers of history and you will see the main protagonist is usually an extension of the author or a representation of the out look of the writer.

Than you miss the point of my post, there are lots of valid reasons to portray a 'jerkwad' especially if you are an actor. Also for the purpose of a RP event in game I can see someone playing such a roll.


i.e. Caios has a character Named Karnage who was a very special kind of 'Jerkwad'. however, three things about Karnage which makes my point.

1. Not even close to a main Character.
2. Was not a racists but an equal opportunity mass murderer.
3. was only really played for the purpose of RP events.


*Caios was the Cowgirl Vampire Character in the Original Guardian Angels.
*Karnage was the Arch-Villain for said Caios.
*the person who played Caios is a very close friend of mine, and the reason why I play COH.

My point being that if you are doing a staged production where you are playing a Racist ******* no problem. If you play a racist ******* as a main you have issues.

Also I have to point out My Character Tiburon Hates Mutants, Aliens and Magic Users. He is also a Main Character. He is not racist against any real population group.

On to a more serious post than my usual sarcastic ways.

Anthony Hopkins was an actor getting paid a lot of money to become Hannibal Lector. When someone who is paying money to have fun thinks hey "I want to play a Racist Anti-(_insert any actual minority_) (hero/Villain)" you have to sit back and ask your self why do you think that is fun? what in you thinks its ok. I have taken a few Psychology classes and displacement is something many of us do in video games. If a big strong guy only plays female characters who seem to get married once in a while "for RP" reasons, maybe you should ask what in you lets this happen.

I am honest about who and what I am, I know I'm a fruit loop, and fairly insane, most of my toons reflect my true self. I know some of you, and I am sure most hide the obvious truth of deep down desires. Ironically its only because you can put so much personality in to a character in City that makes this possible, players of MMOs with little choice on look its not going to be the same.

I don't think so.



in just seconds I put him together. Making African American Heroes is easy.

Oh noes I have an evil idea now.

I shall make a Comical Gay toon who has a bio that just says he's ooh so very straight.

"The Caped Closet Crusader"

/facepalm

technically it does. but some people use D to RP out fights between Characters sometimes. /shrug it happens.

Personally I miss the days of Roof top RP.
