I've no clue what you are talking about. I'm modest and don't show emotion.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

Pfffftt.

"Modest."

"Don't show emotion."

One is true.

My character only been in one relationship, it started as he panicked in vital mission so decide to kiss him to calm his nerves, and over two rp where we running together before anything actually happened, stupid revanite never got a hint. Though it was fun unfortunately swtor board died and the other one, never really took off for him, and he found another board, for different rp in a guild. So never blossomed into some thing other than infatuation, shame enjoyed it.

10 years in character and OOC, and Patches has no kids, marriages or even romantic relationships to speak of.

Patches is not one to be counted on for skipping a few steps; he hasn't even taken the first one really... But I see where you are coming from sometimes.

Relationships are far to complex and culturally muddled to ever call an online one fake. I've seen 'happily-ever-after' work just as well as the 'much-ado-about-nothing' scenarios. I've been as moved by bad theater as I have by real dramas. Everybody has their own expectations, their own perspectives, and their own very unique colloquialisms. And they always get squished just the same.

If you want to write a relationship, good for you. Just remember to keep that OOC and IC super-duper separate and you'll do fine. If it gets weird, it gets weird. Real relationships do that too. Totally do. And If you really need that a supermodel, superwealthy, Omni-sexual companion? It's just an NPC away. Yeah buddy.

Bam pow right in the kisser! It happens that fast, one moment you are slaying a krate dragon with your hot male, female, or gender neutral chibby thing companion and the next thing you know you are on top of them doing the horizontal monster mash. If you are lucky you see a dating thread or two, but it normally just ends right there and the relationship continues behind the screens or is implied when characters are together in a thread. You don't see a lot of committed couples and only a quarter if that of IC relationships result In marriage and children. But even then it take five minutes to pop out five kids while maintaing this perfect figure. But I'm sorry I'm gonna be the bearer of bad news here. But life doesn't work like that, pregnancy often leads to permanent change to the body. I get you want to have kids IC and still look "beautiful" but it's my belief that instead of saying post pregnancy bodies are bad I think they should considered beautiful. I mean you just carried a person inside you for nine months that's pretty damn beautiful.

Only a dating thread or two? [member="Thessa Kai"] and I had quite a few of them. From pure fluff, to fights and everything in between. Naturally some of the relationship occurs behind the screens. No one wants to RP out days and months of getting up, making heart shaped pancakes for your lover and then going off to work. There's going to be some progression from one thread to the next, such as implying a string of late night dates or an incredible amount of time apart.

As for marriage, both of our characters are quite committed to one another. No one cheated. They've been through a lot, were coworkers before the relationship and probably operate on a different level than most. This is okay, no relationship is the same. Its not a cookie cutter. Some move fast. Some are slow.

Kids? Got one on the way. Thessa's been OOC preggo since what...January? February? She looks like a tick about to pop

I'm sure we can find someone to stuff Tadpole back in there and staple everything shut.

I want to make this clear now, after I post these I will not be commenting or responding to people when they @ me or quote me. So please keep your war stories here and don't ask me questions because these are for you to think. Thank you

This topic is a pretty good read. Not sure what I can say for myself to be sure. I've had characters that have been in ic relationships, others that have been total manwhores and a few more who generally go their own way without worrying about relations with others. Each can be equally meaningful and gratifying in their own way. I think Evelynn made a good point when she said just do what makes you happy.

After all at the end of the day the time online is your own so it may as well be spent doing something, or roleplaying with someone, whom you enjoy.

God damnit, lad, I was expecting some good old Carl Sagan!

Hey, Ashe married Circe and they had a grand total of one child (Saera)... so far. It started as a girl accidentally burning down a hall in the Imperial Palace after trying to steal stuff to piss off the Finge, to being nigh kidnapped by not one but two Fringe members, to ending up in a hotel room on Serpena with one and....... yeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh........ moving on. Since then, the two have done a lot of threads together. I remember for a time Ashe didn't do anything without Circe around. They've been through thick and thin, had IC fights once or twice, even been together through all of the attempts to kill or capture. Virtually none of it was ever planned. I'm a huge fan of spontaneity and realistic unpredictability, as you couldn't plan how your own life unfolds day by day. Lately things have been a little slow because her writer has been a bit out of it since his company's downfall and reemergence, and because Ashe was technically dead for quite a while, but nothing is perfect and it's good that even the characters' lives have ups and downs.

As for Ashe's figure, well... between being a space-gumiho, being an energy vampire and now having a new body altogether, her form is pretty much flawless even after birth and several incidents that don't need explanation here... but that just attributes to her species and her abilities.

Oh, and it's fun because the two actually discuss and work out stuff all IC, which is fun because that's the fun in having character relationships! Playing them out! Anything else, and it's just arm candy, which isn't really character development....

I've been told that I prevent my girls from having any kind of happiness or getting laid in relationships. Those writers who I write with, [member="Noxu Za'tire"] , [member="Sarge Potteiger"] , [member="Ayden Cater"] , [member="Salem Norongachi"] , and [member="Jonathon Patches"] can confirm that any kind of would be relationships spanning from friendship to the romantic with my characters take time, can be a pain in the ass, frustrating, aggravating, but at the end of the day, fun.

They don't all end with a happily ever after. Sometimes, it's the broken bittersweet deals that are the most organic and realistic relationship ever.

I can vouch for this. I am Noxu Za'tire and I approve of this message.
