Questions Meme

This is a meme in which you TALK FOREVER. How it goes:

1. Make a thread for yourself in this post, listing the characters you play and your own name.
2. Go find someone's thread to jump and ask them A QUESTION. The question can be anything, RP related is common, of course, but not necessary. Who do you want to app most? What does Character A think about Character B? What's your favorite flavor of icecream?
3. Answer all questions asked of you! Once you have answered, end your response with a question for the person who first questioned you. This is important to keep the discussion going and going.
4. This goes back and forth indefinitely until someone gets tired and can't reply anymore.
5. Have a lot of fun! ♥

This game is a fun way to get to talk to people, headcanon, and learn things you didn't know before! Because it involves gives and take, it can go quite a while and everyone can participate and possibly make friends.

Here is an example.

I first began RPing on a forum message board, in fact, with quickly-whipped-up OCs for whatever premise struck my fancy - and my first muse on happening on journal community RP was Autor from Princess Tutu, with the first character who I played in a game for any long period of time being Sho Minamimoto from Princess Tutu - although even before him I'd mulled over attempting and starting an account for an Anthony muse that went on to have not a thing done with them. This is my first time getting to play him, or from ED at all.

Minamimoto however methinks was a surprisingly fine muse for getting myself into RP all the same as he's very quirky and restless - and also single-minded, but the two games at which I first tried him were an AU game and a memory loss game, which prob'ly rendered him more willing to cooperate and interact with other characters and the situation than he would've been directly from canon. He's downright fun and made for a good exercise in taking down and sinking teeth into a character's voice - he's also got an obvious theme to play with - and in the field of plotting and creating hooks since without the power he's got in canon 'tis probably fair to call him a bit of a rambunctious punkish brat who thinks he's brilliant - he seemed to very much warrant getting into shenanigans, creating hooks, and attempting to give colorful responses to things..

What about San likewise - is he the character you've been playing longest/have played most, and when and how did you think him up?

Ahhhh. Sadly, I'm not very familiar with Princess Tutu, so I can't place a face to Sho's name.

I started rping the same way with a forum board and poorly made OCs at the time, that was back in roughly 2003 - 2004 as well as playing off a few school friends over MSN messenger. My first LJ game was an AU game and I planned a canon/fandom character for a bit before dropping him for different character from a canon I was obsessed with at the time.

San's actually three years old now. He was made on the same day as two of his canon-mates, Finnagin & Artimus which was Sept. 9th, 2010. I was slightly inspired by a few things and it just came to me while I was trying to get some sleep. I can't recall if I wrote a small portion of it down on paper first or literally boot up my computer to start working on it, but I know I ended up getting very little sleep on one day due to working away on an outline.

San is not the oldest in my collection (that honor goes to another OC who's 13 years old and went through plenty of revisions over the years) and isn't the newest either (that goes to Ena, who shares the same name as Xander's mom and took on a life of her own rather recently). When he was first made, he would not be quiet about things always sharing his thoughts on what was going on or wanting to talk to other people. I'm glad he's quieted down over the years, but he does chime up once in a while and learnt to share my head space with other characters.

What's your favorite type of book or movie genre?

I am an utter scatterbrain. Only Autor is from Princess Tutu; Sho is from The World Ends With You - and I'd given him a brief go here for old times' sake (on the account thepiisatruth, under the name of Shawn) - and I'd say well-then-we-got-roughly-the-same-start except that I'd never IM-RPed. XD Both of the games Id brought Sho into however were similarly with an RL-friend - who's still about on the roleplaying scene!

I really do enjoy horror, especially fantasy/supernaturally-tinged, but oh-ho I can be a bit of a pedantic snob over it especially for someone who doesn't have nearly the guts to try writing it myself and knows they'd probably be poor at it - I feel as if there's a fine-ish line between horror and not-so-much-horror-as-thriller and arbitrarily feel as if the latter's more about what's going on/suspense in the events and the former's about the concepts. I love the way things can be theoretically played with/dreamed up/subverted in horror to pieces, and I think that fantasy/paranormal elements can enhance that, if they're not used to just make it easy/deus-ex-machina it.

Are there any situations/opportunities for involvement in things, threads, and/or pieces of CR Xander's gotten that have surprised you?

[dominateartimus]

It's all right! Oh, now he does look familiar even though I haven't played The World Ends with You either. IM-ing a scene is a bit faster compared to commenting sometimes and I know of a few people who preferred it to journal / community based games. My sister was the one who convinced me to play at the AU game, but she doesn't really rp much lately.

Interesting. I tend to lean thrillers since I tend to be cowardly regarding the horror genre (yet it won't stop me from playing characters from horror games). Then again, practice makes perfect.

Quite a few actually in terms of threads and CR, especially those who keep tagging back. I was pleasantly surprised regarding the Tuning Tower scouting with Ravindra and Xander, despite the awkward tension between them and a couple of others that are slipping my brain right now. My apologies, I would go in to further details, but I'm feeling rather tired right now.
