ICEBREAKER MEME! LET'S TALK WRITING.

Hey y’all. We’re just under three weeks from game start and that means it’s time to get rolling on memes. We’re starting out pretty simple with an OOC icebreaker. Whether you’re totally new to journal RP or have been playing with the same people for years, it’s never a bad idea to pause for a chat about this hobby of ours!

With this meme, we want to hear about you: what your RP style is, what sort of plots you enjoy and what tropes you love to see in play. For now, please hold off on seeking specific lines. We’ll be doing a game-wide intro post/wanted lines meme next week! This one is all about the (wo)man behind the curtain.

Copy the form from the text field below and post it as a comment to the RESPONSES section. Feel free to chatter in either the OOC CHATTER subheader or on individual responses. :) All questions are optional! Fill out what you feel like. Don’t worry about sharing your Ilvermorny house if that’s personal.

Name:
Who Are You Playing?:
Sort Yourself!: Into Peckenpaugh, Hogwarts and, if you understand that shit at all, Ilvermorny houses!
What Are Your Pets Names?: We love talking about our furry friends as much as we love talking about our fake children.
Is Cereal Soup?: We need to know where you fall. This will affect whether your characters live or die in end game. (It won’t.)
Soda or Pop?: Which one is it?
How Long Have You Been RPing?: Were you a wee child when you fell into this rabbit hole? Did you retire and come back, or have you always had your finger on the pulse of the local journal RP community?
Other Genres and Settings: Aside from Harry Potter journal RP, what other settings and styles have you played in? Which ones did you enjoy most?
RP Style: Tell us a little bit about what styles of RP you prefer. Do you like logs? IC/OOC threads? Comment RP most? Are you prone to long tags, or do you like to keep them short? How far back are you willing to backtag a thread?
Favorite Tropes/Lines: What sort of tropes and lines do you LOVE to play out in games? Got any old favorites? New ones you can’t wait to sink your teeth into?
Favorite Faces: Do you have any PBs you’re unreasonably attached to? Someone you’ve used multiple times, or someone you’ve only ever dreamed of using?
Favorite Character Archetypes: What sorts of characters do you love to play? What sorts of character archetypes do you love to see, in general?
Inspirations: How do characters usually pop into your head? Are you inspired by faces, names, dreams? How did you come up with the ideas for your current character(s)?
Anything Else?: Do you have anything you want to say?
Give Us A Cute Gif: Of a face you love, a face you’re using, or just how you’re feeling right now.

J E N N Y you know SaGa Frontier?!

I only played Asellus's path because I was already horny for gay lady knights back then but I use Mesarthim as my ig name in a super fucking dumb mobile game I need to stop playing and no one has recognized it yet but also I was not surprised to see you guys had SaGa on your lists. /notjennybutaddspointlesscommentanyway

Dude Asellus is HIGH QUALITY and also adsigandg Mesarthim oh my god??? Mystics are just good in general ?? This brings me a ridiculous amount of joy, you have no idea

Last time I was in Japan they had SaGa tea at the Squenix store and I bought some for me and Katie.

oooooooooh VERY COOL omg it's exciting they still make SaGa merch???

I was totally in love with Rydia when FF2/4 first came over and Mystics definitely scratched that same itch.

Edited (also i am now COMPLETELY LOST AND OVERWHELMED ON THIS POST so apologies as i try to figure out where i am) 2019-08-12 23:30 (UTC)

I was FLOORED, I'll keep an eye out when I'm there again soon and if there's anything good I'll buy some presents~

Yessss that's legit!! I really liked her design

Just hide out here with us and talk about SaGa ;o;

Asellus' path is SO GOOD. Love that Mystic aesthetic~

Did you get a whole Mystic team when you played Asellus? Because I sure did!

Do you remember the rage that was trying to get one of those assholes to Mystic Glove a unicorn properly?

JFC Y E S

I loved having Mystics but god they were pains so often ughhh

There is literally no worse feeling than accidentally overriding a good Mystic skill with a shitty one that you got from a blob monster.

Mmm that game had so many unique ways to be frustrating and it was SO GOOD

Train for hours, learn the shittiest gun trick. :|

But yeah, it was so unique and fun, I was willing to put up with its flaws~

And like the character you didn't want to would learn the DSC immediately

Rouge learns the DSC faster than literally anyone but Liza and it's Ridiculous.

He sure does, I loved making him do fighting shit instead of magic andsugnasdgdidn

Edited (spelling is an illusion) 2019-08-12 23:57 (UTC)

I DO TOO. But I can't help thinking in the back of my brain: ...wow. Blue's going to wreck him later.

Unfort I am also chronically incapable of finishing anything so I don't think I actually FINISHED it, but I am certain that I would have wanted all Mystics because Humans are losers.

Humans ARE losers. Mystics and half-mystics only, please.

But :( Trash Mages :(

OKAY, OKAY. Also trash mages. And maybe like....one robot.

Edited (that game is so weird, gang.) 2019-08-12 23:35 (UTC)

YES. Asellus/White Rose was my FIRST OTP fjlkahdflkjadhsfdsf and I was like IN LOVE with Emelia's story.

I'm smiling really big and stupid right now

SAME.

Oh no I love that. :')
