Hello Players!
We have had some concerns expressed to us, and we feel that this is an issue that we can understand. Though we do not inhibit how you play your character(s), we are going to ask that you do your research if your character has certain traits/illnesses/etc that are part of your character. Do not just add things to your character due to certain stereotypes. For example, if you have a character have a mental or physical illness please make sure that you play them accordingly. Do not give them a mental/physical issue simply to make them seem interesting or devious. Though we understand that this is a roleplay and not the real world, we aim to have a roleplay that is parallel to the real world (with a few fantasy elements).
This means that characters can die, characters can attack, you can start your own mini groups, and that any mental/physical issues should be parallel to the real world. We would also like to ask that again, there be some variety when it comes to playing characters with these items. Not all persons labeled with psychosocial disabilities are going to be criminals/creepy. This is due to there being other variables that cause someone to be a criminal/creepy/etc. We may have people who have mental issues within our roleplay or have people who are close to us who do. The media often portrays people who have certain illnesses as it being something negative, and we ask that everyone please do their research. You can google info about whatever impacts your character, and there are tons of writing guides to help play characters more realistically. We are going to put together a masterlist to help everyone (including ourselves) write better characters.
We hope that this doesn’t stress anyone out, or make them feel like they did anything wrong. No one has, we are simply trying to be proactive and create a free, creative, and loving environment. Though we are an appless roleplay, we want this family to be in love with their characters and play them as well as they can. We are not talking about activity, but the effort we put into our characters. We would like to hear your thoughts. If you feel this is too restrictive, let us know. Again, we are not restricting characters having any illnesses/issues, but just asking that you play them realistically and to stray from the stereotypes. We love you all, and we do not want to harm or make anyone feel uncomfortable.
