Character Relationships?

[Sandis Veeran]

Is it possible or a good idea for different Roleplayers to have relationships with other roleplayers? Would it change that much of the Roleplay or not?

What are your thoughts on this?

 

[Daxton Bane]

Do you mean in RL? Well it would depend I guess. Roleplaying is a recreation, now if both of you are clear on that and accept its limits, it can be both rewarding and satisfying. IF however, you cannot separate the role play from the real life, then we have problems.

 

[Jaxton Ravos]

I'm confused on if this RPer's having relationships with other RPers in real life or characters having relationships with other characters. Either @[member="Ryori Za'tire"] has dealt with it, and is a pretty good roleplayer. So I don't think it can hurt if you know what your doing.

 

[Mr. OOC]

I'm confused as well. IC relationships are fun to write when the writers are mature about it and committed to the idea. Out of character, I've known them to work. Again it requires maturity and the willingness to not let it affect IC if things go south. If you think that you could still be friends after a breakup, it could work.

FWIW: On one of my veeeery first boards, a faction leader and an admin were in an OOC relationship in addition to their IC relationship. It sucked, frankly. I'm skeptical when it comes to RL, because there's just too much room for frat. ICs are fun though, like Kamon said though, maturity is one of the balancing factors.

 

[Alli Wren]

Yeah, who knows ooc wise, but IC wise its fun when the players of the characters are mature and good writers.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Well at TGC two of the members actually got married and have been so for about 6 years now.

 

[Sandis Veeran]

To be perfectly clear, I only meant IC, not OOC.

 

[Fatty]

ICly it's perfectly fine to me, even if that's never happened to me before (although I'm trying to get it going with someone else character on another site) It hasn't happened to me either in the OCC

 

[Mr. OOC]

IC I'm all for it. One of my favorite things to write, though Kamon tends to have terrible luck, lol.

 

[Vanilla Toner]

It's drama and that is half of the fun. Go for it Sandis.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Well, Phylis is (or will be) married to Spencer eventually, and Tegaea and Siobhan have a thing...so yeah, it happens!

 

[Darren Onyx]

I like the idea. I think it would affect rp alot though.

 

[Darron Wraith]

I'm all for IC relationship.

 

[Fatty]

If only my characters weren't either A) Alien, or B) Darth Voracitos

I'd be trying to have relationships everywhere!

 

[Jaxton Ravos]

We should get an IC dating service going. Make a questionnaire for characters, compare their answers, then throw em in a thread and see what happens. It would be glorious.

 

[Darron Wraith]

Or an epic battle royale...

 

[Vanilla Toner]

Or a pillow fight tournament...

 

[Darron Wraith]

The board is PG-13 after all.
