Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dontella" data-source="post: 2558601" data-attributes="member: 34727">*peers in, Huggles JAX! * Have to add my bit here.. A character, is not the person behind the screen.  What they say and do, is in no way us.  Point, I play Dontella.. but that doesn't make me an elf.. Point.. I play a Male Knight, but I'm also in no way a man.  This is fantasy, and as fantasy it should be allowed to remain such.  But I grow tired, and weary of those who will forever rant about the situation.Not everyone games like everyone else, not everyone has the same style or character motivations.  I don't have to talk to someone if I do not want to.  I don't have to lend them a hand, I don't have to take interest in their plots.  I don't have to talk to their characters, I don't have to take an interest in the activities they are part of.  Why, because this is ISRP, In a FREE FORM setting.  That means I, and I alone choose how my character acts, and with whom they ineract.  I play my characters, according to their own personal motivations.. and I'm not about to change them, just because someone else doesn't like it.  These are characters I developed in tabletop, and these are characters I alone have the rights to say.. this is how they will react and whom they will speak to.  And for each character, they have their reasons, and quirks as to what and whom will motivate them.. Like Kyra.. Kyra doesn't care about anyone, who isn't related to her by blood, or earned her respect by combat.  So if a man lies there dying, she's not going to help.  A fighter, raised on the battlefield, she's seen men die by many things, and so one man bleeding to death slowly is NOT going to attract her attention.  At most, she might offer to ease the man's pain.. which in Kyra terms, means killing him off right there.  But that is Kyra, and that is how she is played, how she will always be played, and 'm not going to change her just becasue someone doesn't like it.  If you don't like.. don't talk to her, or me for that matter.  Instead of whining and crying about it on the MB's, just suck it up, and realize not everyone is going to do things in a form you will like, and realize you can't change that.  And just maybe, if you start roleplaying.. instead of complaining, people will start to notice you.  I'll notice someone willing to RP anyday, over someone begging for attention.. and I do interact with new people, if it matches my IC motivations.  I think .. I'm done for now.. Thank you Jackson!</blockquote>
