Why do you RP? - Page 2

February 28, 2008, 10:47 PM

I rp because to me it is practice for writing stories. I have been writing since my freshman year of high school, but I was never really good at developing the relationships between my characters. when I rp, I like to study the way others respond to my characters. I still have bit to learn so I'm still doing it.

Well. it seems that most that posted here, is not too far from one another.

some pay use it to "get away" from their normal life, and "be someone".

others for the sole idea to socialize.

In the end, we all do it for the fun on it.
It is really cool to read the ideas, and reasons for the various RP'ers. to see the connection in between the words.

Often when making a RP character, one tends to make him/her(/it have what you never could have. Or wish to have yourself.
And as it where stated, "I can do anything without consequence"

So, yes. We are all close to the same. And we like the way we can to whatever we wish.
To compensate for the boring world we live in.

if nothing else. this is my opinion.

I was reluctant to participate in forum roleplays before, since I've never considered myself a writer. When I finally decided to enter one, it was a fan based FF RP. I guess that's what really got me to enjoy it all. It's like sharing a fan-fiction with others.

Um... mostly because it gives me a chance to exercise my writing skills...

I RP Because:
-It helps me to learn more vocabulary.
-Because I love writing.
-It helps me to escape from the cruel reality of this world.
-It helps me to socialize.
-It allows me to take different roles.
-It helps me to forget about problems.
-It allows me to share my imagination with others, something I wouldn't normally do in real life.
-It allows me to have dreams....

I agree with all of the above, except one. How can you socialise while sitting before a PC? o_O

Because it helps me to understand people more than I do. In real life, most people that I've met wear masks of lies, and even if this false truth puts my mind at ease, let it be.

I guess I rp because I want to create something. I do like the idea of peoples ideas gelling together and creating something amazing, and RP'ing give you that op. Though I haven't RP'd on this site yet, I'll soon be starting.

Yo really do get to see different sides of people in an RP as well, romantic, agressive, passionate, it's like a gang of mini script writers. And that idea fascinates me beyond belief.

In short, I RP to pretend to be what I'm not. I love the idea of having special abilities and powers. Role playing let's your imagination come out.

I also love creating stories and characters, and acting them out, as to develop them. Lotsa good practice for stories as well.

I know this thread is like years old (well, months, but you know what I mean) and I want to say how I feel.

I RP because it's fun in general. You can defy the laws of Earth and go wild with it. You can set your imagination loose in an environment when you don't have to worry about being in trouble (except X rated situations).
