What is your favorite RP that you have participated in?: As always, a tough one. Silicon & Sorcery is always gonna be up there just for sheer amount of character interaction and stuff to do. I always looked forward to posting in S&S. Doing TA2 was also neat, but I think I enjoyed it a lot more after becoming the DM.
Favorite recent (Last year or later) RP? Really enjoyed GWN, but I'm glad it's coming to a close as well; it's time.
With so many new RPs being made or having recently started, what are you looking forward to?: I can't wait to really get into the actual plot of Persona beyond introducing the mechanics. Also really excited for Yarrow Run, I really like how Ophelia came out.
If you are a DM, what is your favorite RP you have ever created?: Persona: Shadows of the Mind is
my baby. I've been wanting to run that for years now, and I'm so excited that it has not only attracted a good cast of characters, but has kept people interested for as long as the really long introduction sequence has gone on for.
What is your favorite original world?: I don't think I'll ever like a world as much aesthetically as Luada. It evoked a lot of beautiful imagery in my mind.
Who is your favorite character that you've created?: I still really like Arthas and I miss him sometimes. Ash was probably the most fun to play, and I'm looking forward to Ophelia. It's hard to choose a favorite.
What character did you not get to play enough?: Julius Lemartes in the past zombie RP. He would have been great in a leadership position, I think.
Who is your least favorite character that you've created?: Mordecai Reed IV in Diesel & Demons was such a waste of potential. I also didn't like Luke in GWN at first, honestly, but he grew on me. Tharen in Inquisition was such an obtuse overpowered DM PC that it still hurts to think about him.
Who is your favorite character that someone else has created?: I am always a fan of charming, witty characters with well-written dialogue to convey that; so, definitely among my favorites are Rook's Dorian Laennec, Baloth-Kul's Max Delaney, and Hissien's Adderyn Wakefield.
Who is your least favorite character that someone else has created? (Remember, keep it limited to constructive criticism only please, and remember that it is better to say nothing at all than to say something rude).: I dunno, if anyone remembers Unokitsune's Leileena, but... yeah.
Who is your favorite DM?: Kerr-bear <3 MARS is also giving good vibes on the world settings.
What is your biggest general RPing pet peeve?: People letting OOC feelings permeate IC interactions. We're all grown-ups playing make-believe on the internet, please don't make it dramatic.
DMs, what is your biggest pet peeve your mindless subjects commit?: String out a single plot point or course of action by trying to cover
every single base imaginable. Guys, if you come up with one creative solution to something, I'm probably going to give it to you.
Players, what is your pet peeve DM injustice? The DMs on this forum are spectacular. Other than the 'leaves for a while' part, nothing.
If you favor a certain gender (or something in between or a lack thereof) with your characters, why? Why not?: I used to go for a majority of male characters, but I've been peppering a few females in there as I've gone along. As a cis dude I don't feel I understand what it is like to be a trans or nb person well enough to portray it respectfully.
If you favor a certain moral or ethical alignment with your characters, why? Why not?: Chaotic Good is beyond a shadow of my doubt my absolute favorite alignment of character to play, and it's to the point that I
really need to stop it. Rolling Ash as Neutral Evil and Ophelia as True Neutral is a step in the right direction, I think.
What is your favorite romance or friendship, whether cheesy or serious, RPed by other players?: No matter how many times I remake this survey, I don't think my answer will ever change. Adrienne and East in Vault 54 just felt so real.
What is your favorite romance or friendship you have been a part of?: Valentia & Dorian's short fling, brief as it was, was so incredibly sweet that I still get all giddy when I think about it.
ALSO ARTHAS AND BRONDAR BRO COPS 5 LIEF
What are some romances or friendships that you suspect will happen in the future?: Ophelia is gonna have a crush on EVERYONE in Yarrow Run. Seriously though, Ophelia is going to find Amelie to be
adorable.
Who was your favorite DM-created character? Any of the Kuos in the Kerr RPs generally make me smile. Overall though, I was a huge fan of Prince Naoise in World of Darkness, right down to the part where she had Ashling incinerated.
What character do you love to hate?: Boy howdy, Lodds.
Best antagonist?: A toss-up. I really liked Gamlen, the Lich from S&S. Mr. Butler in World of Darkness sure as hell screwed Ash over as well.
Who were you glad to see die?: Eat a dick, Ezekiel! <3
Who were you sad to see die?: Ash. She had such a bright future. It just got a little... too bright.
Who would you be sad to see die?: Anyone in Persona. Death is not fun when you're a guest of the Velvet Room.
Who had the best-written death scene?: Even though it was totally misinterpreted by those involved, Jesscia Wood's insanity-induced suicide in the Church of Cleansing Flame (Vault 54) was fantastic. Mumph's final soliloquy in World of Darkness was also really touching.
What was the most epic battle?: The subway incident or the fight against the lich in Silicon & Sorcery, and the battle for Jacksbank in Vault 54 was also really grand.
What was the tensest moment?: Trying to talk down Nic from killing himself in S&S drove me nuts. Also, deciding whether or not to leave Dublin in World of Darkness.
What was the most morally 'good' thing a character has done?: Technically speaking, Daud's sacrifice to stop an evil god in the ending of Call of the Abyss, but since that wasn't in the RP it doesn't really count. I think that the honor goes to the party delivering the bad news of Lithia's demise to the innkeeper in TA2; They really helped lessen the blow there.
What was the most morally 'evil' thing a character has done?: As Ash, I literally blew a dude's head off,
ate his immortal soul, and considered doing it
again only a few hours later. Trophy is mine.
What RP has kept you up thinking when you're trying to sleep?: Vault 54, because it moved at like 20 pages a minute. Such a good, fun pace, blazingly fast as it was.
How do you explain RPing to your friends, if at all?: Communal storytelling. Playing D&D but on a forum. Typically if they would react negatively to my idea of fun, they aren't my friend.
What UESP RP needs a sequel?: I think I'll never stop saying S&S. Beyond that, another World of Darkness entry would be awesome.
What discontinued RP needs a reboot?: I think Flashpoint had some serious potential.
What setting would you love to see an RP take place in?: The only thing keeping me from making a roleplay in the XCOM setting is that I know I can barely handle 2 RPs at once, much less 3.
Who are two characters from any RP settings that would go good together, romantically or just as a friendship duo?: I am a [&@%!] SUCKER for shipping people. I think Makoto from Persona and Ophelia from Yarrow would be adorable as they try to out-shy each other.
If you had to take one of your characters and put them in a different RP setting, who and where would they go?: I think Luke would be an interesting character outside of Fallout, particularly as a vampire in WoD. That would have really messed with his faith.
If you had to give one of the RPs you are in a theme song, what would it be and why?: I do this already for mine, really.
How do you predict the plot will advance in any of the RP's you're in?: Yarrow Run is going to involve a whooooole lot of suffering. GWN is nearing the end and I predict that Rick is gonna be convicted, because honestly it's the most fitting end for him thematically.
What's the biggest honest mistake you've made when roleplaying?: DM PCs. Not a good idea. There's a difference between having an NPC guide the players as opposed to just making your DM avatar experience all the stuff you already know is going to happen.
What is your biggest regret regarding roleplaying?: Letting The Forgotten Wardens die, being absent from Vault 54 for so long, not being in a lot of them.
How have you improved in RP'ing?: Been doing this for 15 years. I still amaze myself when I look back at writing only months old. You can learn so much in such little time. Specifically, I think I've gotten better at inserting prose and colorful language into my writing, whereas before I was really bad at doing anything that wasn't plain or descriptive. I still think I could be more verbose, but it's difficult.
How can you improve in RP'ing?: STOP RE-USING WORDS THAT WERE ALREADY IN THE SENTENCE. IT DOES NOT READ WELL.
What are some tips you would offer to someone new to the subforum?: Just jump right in. Seriously. If you make a mistake, just listen to what we have to say, and fix it. We don't bite.
How would you change the RP subforum?: I would say amp the pace up, but to be real, we have a very steady group of people here. That means I think we should take advantage of the close-knit group we've got and ensure that we keep posts regular enough to not let anyone lose interest.
Coolest character name?: Landon Free-Wind in The Forgotten Wardens. I've never seen a name that conveys the ideas of freedom and liberation so well before.
Most unique character trait?: Everything about Caiusin S&S. He wasn't
that bad, Beta.
What character of yours helped you get out of your 'comfort zone' for roleplaying?: Ash! I should play more evil characters, but they're often very juxtaposed to plot progression, so it's difficult to find a place where they'd work.
A bit weird, but a good open-ended question; is there anything RP subforum-related you would like to confess?: I was totally begging for praise for Arthas at the time, guys. It was [&@%!], but there was a distinct lack of praise for my creative writing hobby at the time, so it just felt so nice to hear compliments.
Who do your characters main in Overwatch?:
- Arthas is a Lucio main.
- Luke mains Mei, alts Winston.
- Ophelia mains Torbjorn because she isn't good at aiming.
- Valentia is a Tracer main. Mostly because she thinks Tracer is cute.
Who had the best avatar on the subforum and why is it Unionhack?:
WE MUSTN'T TELL DIRTY LIES 
. Except Black Legion
Darn it, XCOM happens even when it's not the game! T-T
