[QUOTE="Saera Duraston, post: 3401660, member: 37228"] Re: making fun of people IC *sighs* Yes, I'm guilty. Yes, my chars do it, for various reasons. One is a drow who will make fun of anyone who isn't drow, and even of drow if they don't meet her standards of drowness. She expects people to hate her for it, and call her out to the clearing, and yes, that's happened a lot. Does it reflect any of my opinions OOC? No! Some are various versions of good alignment. They will be shocked and disgusted by people who casually befriend vampires and demons, and yes, they may make comments. Most are from realistic medieval cultures because I do Renn-faire type stuff outside of ISRP and I know the background. They will look askance at the "lewd" females who have transparent clothing or bare stomachs or exposed bare legs. Given true medieval fashions, however, showing lots of cleavage is okay. *rolls eyes at inconsistency but there it is* However, they stop "making fun" of such characters once they get to know them, and they're very open to knowing people. The fighter types will snicker (usually just to themselves) at someone in a chainmail bikini with a solid gold greatsword. People have seen "300" right? Where the Spartans are very careful to protect their forearms with bracers and their heads with helmets and leave the rest of their bodies totally exposed. Nice beefcake, bad fighting style. Oh, and sometimes my char is just being an ass or is in a horrible situation or bad mood and takes it out on anyone around, and yes, they deserved to be slapped around for it. If/when my chars do feel this way, I try to avoid posting any of these comments only as thought balloons. That's not fair, it doesn't give the other char a chance to react or respond, and yes, it looks like a sneaky snarky OOC comment weaselled into play. If a char makes the comment openly, then the other char can explain their culture or point out faults in my char too or call them out for the insult, and it stays IC. I also try to make sure I don't carry over opinions from one char to another, to the point of being extra generous with one char if another is being mean. And god knows, if anyone PMs me and asks me to stop, then I shut up! Playing your char consistently and honestly is good, but not if it's hurting someone OOC! [/QUOTE]
