what if i got back into tumblr rp haha jk… unless…

all i have nowadays is a bunch of vampire bastards though

I’ve been seeing some “things you should know about your character” posts circulating on a few sites, and I know I’ve said it before, but these aren’t necessary. They help some people develop their characters, sure. But a lot of what’s listed is so trivial. It gives a sense of “if you don’t know your OC’s favorite color when they were five and two quarters then you can’t write your story.” Those fill-in-the-blanks can be fun, but most of that information either comes on its own as the story progresses or just isn’t needed. I don’t know what my characters’ favorite colors are, I don’t know what specific foods they’re allergic to, or what their worst nightmare was growing up. If that’s something you find helpful, then by all means use it! But don’t feel like not knowing those things means you can’t write until you do.

would anyone be interested in a more tabletop play by post like vampire the masquerade discord rp? aka rp but with dice rolling and some stats/powers etc.

set in Frankfurt, Germany, because i actually know the setting

alternatively chicago if i get around to finally reading chicago by night

me, writing my own OCs: idk. was that out of character?
