Loh ICly owns a corgi and has actually maimed an Alliance character because they stepped on it’s paw accidentally and when he turned he thought they were kicking his dog.
Somehow I haven’t had a Vulpera Death Knight until now. That’s my confession!
When I was still fairly new to WoW and roleplaying, I got really excited upon hearing that people rp’d via Skype. I didn’t realize they meant via text; I assumed loads of people were doing rp voice chat, as if they were doing a play or improv.
I even practiced a Scottish accent for dwarf rp before I finally figured out that’s totally not what Skype rp was for.

Bow chicka bow wow
Wait… vulpera can be death knights? O.o
How… How does one roleplay that?
The cuteness… IT BURNS THE ENEMIES! Right? That’s it! I know your secrets.
If you have Shadowlands, then all allied races can be death knights since 8.3.

I have alted so many times, bored with the latest content but trying to find an interesting class to play. I feel like I’m running out of options and don’t know what to do.
That means it’s break time.
Same with brainstorming in creative jobs. If you’re hitting a road block, then take a break and go do something that you’ve never done before. Or go to a place you haven’t visited (maybe around your town). This can help break the mind free of that stagnation, and give ideas on what TO do next.

Yeah this is what I did. I took a break and as soon as I get my computer fixed, I’m ready to jump in more.
For me a lot of it is that I don’t really know where my character fits in. Ever since the Legion was defeated he’s been basically levitating over the void of the Great Dark Beyond in Outlands, meditating. He’s returned to find Teldrassil burned to ashes and the world basically in a worse state than he thought possible. He’s concluded that race and factions are meaningless and futile, and the causations of the endless wars that have plagued Azeroth. Almost every other Kaldorei he’s come across doesn’t share the same sentiment. He’s tempted to go back to space.
Sorry forgot to mention that I really enjoy playing monk. I guess for this character it is more of an rp thing.

Well what kind of narrative are you interested in for the character? I think the view on race/factions being meaningless and futile and causation for war could be a good hook to play with. But how would you put that in the world? Would you be a traveling peacekeeper trying to get people to settle their conflicts with diplomacy rather than battle? I doubt you want to rp a hermit who floats around in Outland with nobody around. What about starting a monastery with like-minded individuals? Could even be in Outland or wherever you want. Even if those ideas don’t spark something, I’m sure you’ll figure out something!

I think I’d like to find a group or guild to rp with. That being said, I have enjoyed the tension that its so far caused, but I’m also concerned that people might not want to rp with me as their feelings are still strong and they see my character’s perspectives as contrarian to his own people. I do appreciate you taking the time to give me some advice though! I hope I can figure something out. A part of me does like to see how things turn out organically, so I want to stay true to the character and see what becomes of it.

Hope all is well, Shay. My time zone difference screwed up my response time up there.
I have a confession: I once ruined a guild by accident.
A friend had set up a guild (or someone gave it to him, idr) around Cata and filled it with people he didn’t know. It generated gold for him. Yes, it was one of those.
He was transferring off during MoP and said he’d give me the guild. The guild had a silly name, or I’m a snob, or both, and knowing it was basically a gold farming operation for whoever was GM I just figured no one really cared.
So I changed the name and theme to something I thought was cool, and I was like “hi all, this guild was given to me and it’s this now! cool, right! there’s a bunch of cool stuff and gold for you all in the guild, let’s have fun right guys ^_^”
lmao… what an idiot…
Everyone just left and was really sad. I totally didn’t think it through or think past my own impression or assumption of the guild. If I had known anyone cared, I’d have given it to them!
Moral of the story: Sometimes your idea that’s cooler than a bland one is also far more stupid.

I like it when my characters lose.
Fighting, struggling… then losing.
Being overpowered by the other character.
I like it, because it’s a form of…
—hesitated and double checked posting avatar—
…of submission.
I wish I could tell you…
And submission, to me, is a form of role-play that I would call…
—hesitated again—
Most people would probably be pissed off if another character came over and tried to boss around their own character.
I wish I could tell you…
When people do RP-battles, they usually want to win.
…how fun it was…
I would guess that most people play strong characters, not weaklings.
…how I felt…
Bulging muscles, giant swords, ready for /roll battles. They play to win.
…when your character leaned in and stood so close to mine….
They play to be strong.
Should I tell you…
They play to be the heroes of the game.
…that I’m craving more…?
A departure from real life, where we can be anything we want, and do anything we want, and win the game.
Playing a weak character, and being overpowered by another…
I wish I could tell you…
…is probably not anything that anyone would ever desire—SHOULD ever desire.
…how fun it was.

I like losing when it’s realistic to lose. You always see that one vs five fight somewhere and the one dude just wont go down. He’s always ducking and weaving or somehow not getting shot/stabbed/punched and then the fight ends because people get pissed off ooc and end the rp.

I’m a fan of letting everyone have their time in the spotlight. I reject that being vulnerable or losing a fight or something qualifies someone as weak. There are lots of reasons a conventionally powerful character might be vulnerable or lose a fight and vice versa where a conventionally weak character might have an advantage or win a fight. I think lots of people have the mindset that if one loses it tarnishes the image of their character. Makes them less cool. It damages their power fantasy. I think this drives the “I dodge everything from five people constantly” types. Which is a shame because loss can be an excellent motivator or demotivator for a character which can be excellent character arcs.

I’ve been unsubbed for upwards to a month now and it’s great.
I confess that while I’ve been brainstorming for my super hero novel, I suggested to my beta-readers to think of a demi-god born of a European pantheon to be the main pro-longed rival of the MC who is a demi-god of the Monkey King.
I now really like one suggestion of having it be a Demi-god of Baldr for the “Unstoppable Force vs Immovable Object” angle.
hi everyone! i’m baaack in the thread, sup? esp. after reading all the posts i missed in the maintime, i forgot what i wrote before 
anyhow
confessions, confessions:
- i put “may be your next long term rp contact” in a few of my MRPs and i kinda -want- to have a long term writing partner (or two? three?) again but some times i just am feeling too tired to start over, getting to know someone new/getting over the fear of ‘oh gods i’m bothering them’ with benign things
- i’m just big anxiety
big S A M E
- this also gets in the way; i literally will do serious rp! i swear! my characters aren’t all sunshine and rainbows but i also am a HUGE dork who can’t -not- be dorky and…i’m annoying, right? right. AAAA
- did i mention this above? i made a druid with my actual name; for once having a weird name comes in handy, b/c nobody thought to nab it on this realm
- i like tanking now. esp on my DH and warrior, i am addicted to the nyooom h elp
- there was a thought here, but i forgot like so many things
