RP Meme from Lisa! X3

[ladybug_archive]

1. Are we talking chat-based RP, journal-based RP, a combination of both, neither (in which case I would have to wonder why you're filling out this meme in the first place)? If you've done both, do you have a preference? Chat-based is totally my favorite. I prefer one-on-one RPing to something with a big group, except in very rare occasions. There was a really great message-board based RP I was in, but real-life caught up with almost everyone else and it all died. ;__; **sniffle.** Even though we've tried to revive it several times, it's never really worked.

2. How did you get started roleplaying? I'm guessing it must have started when Mom and I would make up adventures with my action figures. Then I also had paper dolls of the characters that Mom made (both canon characters and OCs). Sometimes I'd want to continue the story while she was fixing Dad's food. I used to bring the figures into the kitchen, but that became impractical. XD; Also, I didn't have figures of all the characters we used. So we developed a vocal role-play, and we still do that now, even after we've stopped with the other ways.

Online, I tried to join an All Dogs Go to Heaven RP shortly after we got the Internet. It didn't end up working out, but I discovered the joys of one-on-one chat-RPing. X3

3. What fandoms have you roleplayed for? All Dogs Go to Heaven, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Detective Conan, Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts, Megaman.EXE, Rurouni Kenshin (I was in the RP because a friend wanted me in it, and I tried Kaoru, but that was an EPIC. FAIL.).... One girl who used to want me to do RPs with her had us do all kinds of random convulted stuff, from Teen Titans to Harry Potter. Of course she always had to be the Mary Sue hero.... XD;;

4. Out of the characters you play most frequently, who is the easiest for you to play? Sephiroth and Zack are both amazingly easy for me, in general. I used to say I could really relate to playing Gin from Detective Conan because of his pride, and Sephiroth has that too, but he is a LOT more compatible to me than Gin is. XD;;; When he's sane, I mean. He's a warm and caring person, and honorable, but he can be so sarcastic/blunt. And playing Zack, I discovered, involves using a lot of the same tones I use when I'm writing casually in my LJ. Just more ... hyper sometimes. XD I see them sometimes as playing two different sides of my personality. And then Cloud would be another part, with his own brand of bluntness and always putting his foot in his mouth (mostly KH Cloud here). And the dorkiness...!

5. The hardest? Hmm.... Kaito Kuroba. XD; I play him using the base of the Zack-type character: friendly, a bit mischievous, but I have to give him his own voice and personality. Which might be easier to come forth if I would just read all of Magic Kaito. **has only read chapters here and there.** But I try to get in the various aspects of his character: the pervertedness, the hidden depth, his determination to find his father's killers, and how he sees himself and Kaitou Kid.

6. Your favorite? Probably a toss-up between Sephiroth and Zack. Then I have to determine *which* Sephiroth. XD; They're both so fascinating, but while FF7 Seph has much more of a weight on his shoulders and is often sad (in T&D era), KH Seph is so bitter and anti-heroish.

7. Do you create OCs for your roleplays? Depends on the RP. XD; There's really no need for them in the one with Lisa or the one with Kaze (except for ones previously created in my stories), but others, such as the RP with Mom and the one with Aubrie, thrive on OCs and I have quite a few for each. There's anthro animals in the one with Mom, as well as Vifa, who is probably human there (the original version was a skunk). Vifa has totally evolved, too. Instead of being a gold-digging murderess, she's still a gold-digger, but kinda helps the protagonists out and chats it up with one of them a lot. And there's the doppelganger race in the one with Aubrie. The idea of Alexander evolved into creating the entire race. Though Alexander was created previous to his introduction in the RP, the majority of doppelgangers were created for the RP.

8. The characters in your RP have just stumbled upon your RP logs/RP journal/they're reading an RP over your shoulder. What is their reaction? Sephiroth is appalled/annoyed that I play him in general. XD Zack is pretty cool with it. Cloud is ... probably grumpy. All of them are probably creeped out by all the hurt/comfort situations.

9. Any characters/fandoms you'd like to play that you haven't played before? I agree with Lisa, FFX/-2 would be fun to try! I'd like to see how Nooj would come out.

Yeah! I was so creeped out. XD At least she hadn't published the thing, and it was mostly for her own personal use. And I figure I don't really have the right to tell her she can't write what she wants for her personal use. Though if she were to publish it, I'd probably put up a notice that I was not involved in any way. She did actually want me to use the idea, I think, because it was a continuation of a story I stalled on (and I don't think I'll ever finish it). I flat-out told her No. She wanted Yami Marik to be a good guy, too. Like that would ever happen.

**nodnod.** I remember you telling me about that time in the RP! That's so inconsiderate!

I wonder if there are any missions like that. XD There are supposed to be a whole bunch.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

**nods** Yeah, I suppose there's not much you can do if it's just for personal use. I guess that's not so bad, but I think I'd still be a bit upset. XD It's good that she hasn't published it, though I'd think that if she wanted to, she should definitely ask permission. And I definitely don't blame you for not using the idea yourself! I can't even think of how either Dr. Portman or Yami Marik would ever become good. It doesn't fit them at all.

Ooh, I hope so! That would be totally awesome!^^ I'm so gonna do every single mission there is. XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

**nodnod.** It totally deviates from the main plot of the story, too. XD; The story was basically Bandit Keith after Marik for revenge, and some really messed-up thing about Mr. Ishtar having abused Marik in the past. **headdesk.** Sometimes I wonder what was going through my brain when I wrote certain stuff.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

XD. It happens! There were some pretty awful stories that I once wrote, too. I think they disappeared into one of the computers along the way, and I can't say that I miss them. XD Really, some of the things I was thinking... **shakes head**

Even so, changing the main plot of the story is really ridiculous! It sounds like it would end up focusing more on Dr. Portman and Rishid than Bandit Keith and Marik. Honestly, what's the point of making a suggestion like that? It doesn't seem like it would help much at all, even if you had been interested in changing the characters so much. XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

XD Yep! Then there was a h/c fic totally involving Seto being struck by a reindeer. **siiigh.**

The Bandit Keith angle could have been interesting, but I had no idea where to take it. XD; I don't recall planning that Portman would be involved at all, or maybe she was. **ponders.** I've wanted to just take that story down, but it's rather well-liked by reviewers, so I've left it there for them.

[cskazaam.livejournal.com]

LOL! A reindeer? Oh gosh, that's hilarious. And totally random. XD Poor Seto.

Well, it's good that the story's liked!^^ It's too bad that you couldn't pursue that angle, but that happens. I think just about every somewhat major story I wrote went unfinished until just recently, when I started posting things. XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

It happened because someone wrote a parody of Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer with Seto, and it somehow ended up becoming a running gag in my Christmas fics. XD The h/c sidestory never did get finished, though. I think it worked better as a random joke in something bigger.
