So... this is the first place that I've ever really done RPs, truly. Normally, I just role-play through text messages, with my 'brother' who isn't my brother... Long story.
However, when we rp, there are no 'character' profiles, and there is also no master slave, which is what I'm used to.
Characters, just, HAPPEN to meet each other, and perhaps seperate, then meet again and blah blah blah...
Anyone else ever just... go for it? Randomly come up with a character, tell the other person nothing, and just... see what happens? It's so much fun. Of course, the advantage he and I have is that we know each other, and have been rping long enough to predict the kind of character, but at first, it was so much fun to see how our characters interacted, etc, etc. They evolve as they go along, and nothing is really set in stone. These rps go on forever... :D
My style differs depending on where I am, and who I am working with. I am still rather fond of table top, and I ran a game once that took place in my very truly demented mind... A few friends got "transported" into my minds inner landscape, where they where accosted by possessed dolls, undead, and GOP sith lords, among other random "me" things.

Oh, I tried that before, except that my mind is probably quite different than yours. sadly I didn't have much people so it didn't work out so well.
I had a friend make me a cute little dolly... well, she looked more like a voo-doo doll though, with her cute button eyes and stitched smile and upside down heart... She was a character I once made a long time again, the original Hestia, own by Simbul... the origin of my twin mistresses ;D
I tried table top...once. I suck. But, it was D&D so... lots of extra rules.
@Chiyuri: From what I've been told, your mind is a less than safe place, that I am still rather... eager to explore, despite the dangers.

Try Vampire the Masquerade. And, honestly, Im more prone to an rp like the one I mentioned then to the scripted kind. You dont have to twist my arm to get me to do that. :p

It depends on the level of roleplaying you are doing. There is the beginners roleplaying which I believe is just a mesh of whatever you can come up with like a child making a story and developing newly discovered characters inside of themselves. Then I believe sometimes you get to a certain area or class, like the middle class of roleplaying where you know more of the kind of characters you are stronger with, you know who you are as a roleplayer better, so you make more characters and at this area people expect certain things and want certain things. Most of the time this leads to just following the huge middle class herd which is where people expect character bios, plots and other specifics. But eventually, like for myself, I've done that for so long it is boring to me. I don't want to make new characters, I don't want to think about a plot. I just want someone who is as creatively driven as I am, we have a good chemistry (which is important), they aren't a roleplay flake, they understand I have a life outside of the internet and when we come together I can give them the most bizarre intro to a roleplay without anything to go off of and they give me something with an equal level. And if it doesn't work out we can start again, take a break or move on.
God that sounds like I'm looking for my soul mate XD

I have the books for Vampire as PDF, but I never was one to stick to all the rules. It drains you of your own creativity. I do, however, enjoy the world and the history. I ran a game once that was a Malkavian Circus. Malkavians are a vampire clan who is cursed with unique madness when they are embraced. They can also cast many madness based mental spells on victims for fun, or combat use. And, as vampires, they already have eccentric tastes... Add the extra madness and, well, it was fun...
I agree with Clan. The most important thing is that you work well with the other person, or persons. We all want different things, and we all go about things in our own way. Chemistry is essential to all forms of human contact.

Aww don't be that scared.. I got a pretty good control over my mind, I turned it's landscape into a giant game/world. It's not that dangerous of a place.. just a few monsters, underground black market that deals with capturing, training and selling slave. Super dark secrets of the world fondation.
But yea.. avoid the Tree Kingdom.. the monster there are kinda... slipery.. beastial, lustful and whatnot.. you might not come out of there ever.
Mine has many more things that eat flesh, or drink blood... But I like to think it looks beautiful.

Oh. Okay. Much less scary than what you threatened me with last time. Woo! :D
oh? what did I say last time?
Nothing. You and Kene refused to say anything and Kene seemed to quickly turn me away and be all, "Her mind is a scary place, you don't wanna go there, run along."
ah ok.. well if we talk in a more literal sence and less fantasy, in which the landscape would look a lot more like the actual mental stade of the mind... ok it's a dangerous place. I have to live in it and it's scary even for me ^^;

My mind is...
"Imagine a blank expanse, white as can be as far as the eye can see. Now, imagine that expanse being slowly filled with colors, like a canvas filling with paint. However, there is no artist, just colors, spiling and spilling, until there is nothing white left. However, unsatisfied with the results, everything is wiped clean, with left over rejections wandering away to the end of nothingness, but still existing somehwhere. They wander away until nothing is left for you to see, nothing but a blank, white expanse."
Scary. Mine is in sections. (I just watched 'Poor unfortunate souls' on youths and died laughing at Ursula's shimmy. It's like 'boobs all up in your face!'. XD)

I think my mind is full of colors right now. I'd draw the pretty pictures for you, but I don't have an artist so... T.T There is no part of my mind that can draw. It's not my muse T.T
How to describe one side of my mind: A blood thirsty Spartan at war who is fighting for his life, family and country and will not stop until he finally dies
image some sort of cavern but really large.. the walls are made of living flesh, as well as the roof. The gorund is a paved path with some veins going around. There isn't much light but you can still see close to yourself. Coming out of the walls are chains bound to various ruins or just hanging to nothing. There are multiple gates around with chains blocking them. There is this shiny silver gate with golden chains blocking it and there seem to be no flesh beyond it but you can ignore it for now. Around other location of the mind, the scenery doesn't change much but in a larger area of the cave, you can find some weird floating redish cloud with chains coming out of it, lots of chain. You can see some sort of translucide half-godtly girl in the cloud holding the chains in her hands. Right under the cloud you can find another girl in a much more tengible form, chain coming directly from the cloud binding her neck and arms. Her legs are partially covered by some veins of flesh coming from the ground. Other than that, you can't see much since a lot of locations are closed off by rusty iron gates and chains.
Once you look behind you, you might sometimes see a random open gate appear behind you, from inside you can hear the sound of racling chains and there is thick dark-red colored liquid staining the ground infront, and even more inside past the broken iron gate... "Come here..come here..." It resonate.. the gate moving closer to you, or is it you who is moving closer to the gate.."Come in... come in.." it resonate some more. That gate seem to appear randomly anywhere inside the cavern system, it's best to run when it does.
... I wouldnt need to. Plenty of fresh blood in the rather large veins.

Alright i'm gonna admit somethings, I am a super nerd. for tabletop games I so far have played DnD 3.5, pathfinder, new world of darkness (which has included mage the awakening, changeling the lost, promethian the created, and now empyrean the off shoot of inferno), and mutants and masterminds. In all of these we have created characters mostly on spot and really worked with very very little time on character creation.
in forum roleplay though I mostly just make bare bones characters and slowly give them a storyline and a roleplay style this can be ether slave and master roleplay or just normal roleplay.
and finaly i cosplay.... so far i only have a bitchin russia (hetalia) costume but I am building arakune (blazblue) and a death (soul eater) costumes.
That my dear friend is 4.0 i dislike that system, I play 3.5 and pathfinder both of which (while complicated) are much more customizable and forgiving that 4.0
