Cons - it really always is long rp and when we get spoiled by people who don't take the time you do, it can take time to adjust to 'real' rp. the length is warranted but it is a hard adjustment for someone new to rping with you. i personally do not like the language thing. i know you worked hard on it and you definitely deserve credit for putting so much effort into it. but i'd love bracketed translations like we who rp moriel often give for those who are eavesdropping in a room. i watch other ppl rp and make assumptions as to what kaytoo might be saying. three out of four of my chars are slaves. they try not to assume things cuz that tends to get someone beaten. it's better to be clear what someone wants. the last thing i struggled with was the positioning. we got excited so things went an interesting way at least for a few moments. but i ended up just not acknowledging a certain posture with the chair because i didn't know what it was. and i always hate intruding on the 'mood' to ask questions in ooc. i make do by just sliding over bits that i don't get and hoping the person explains things later. i think that certain parts of the rp were more important than the position my char was put into, but it was something i couldn't comprehend so i just waited for subsequent posts to resolve that for me. while it's great to have passion for certain things, it's also important to describe all parts of the scene in equal detail. our partners are often not passionate about the same things we are, and it's a terrible thing to be confused and not feel compelled to ask ooc.
PROS - damn you know your shit! i friggin LOVE how you know this stuff. and that tops anything i've seen so far. some ppl will find a pic of what their char looks like. some ppl will have a pic of an outfit. but you KNOW this stuff in real life. and i appreciate that soooo much because i learn every time we rp. and while lots of ppl just wanna get it on and get going with the rpness, i'm pleased to be able to learn something from you that actually applies to my real life. i love piercings and tattoos, getting them, the whole process. and i am a tribal belly dancer, which means i adore the traditional way of things in many cases. your ability to take a person back to that time when things were not tech based, were not instantaneous, is great. and i really appreciate that. i also appreciate your obvious dedication to roleplaying honestly. you work at the BA because it speaks to you. and that just feels so genuine and rare and hard to find anywhere. i really respect that and feel inspired by that. yes i had cons. yes i find it a struggle to rp with your char. i know the reasons why, and i own those but if i were you, i'd just really focus on those pros. because i wish ppl would see what you do, how in depth you've gone with your char's talent and focus, and how willing and generous you are to share this information with the rest of us - and be inspired by it. a tailor should know tailoring. a metal smith should know metallurgy or whatever. you are a body artist, even if you don't do it in real life. i wouldn't know. it's in you and man that comes out in your rp. thank you for doing that, and for helping to keep the rest of us honest.i came for rp and you give it, one hundred percent.
