But what would make you good in a group RP and not in a one-on-one?

Aha, what I mentioned before was for one-on-ones. I never got unwanted attention in a group RP because it never got far enough --my characters had relationships or would-be relationships in the story before most people could jump in. A lot of them weren't planned... they just sorta happened.

Uh, I wouldn't know... I mean... I suppose so, since it would seem kinda tasteless to post anything PG13+ where just anyone can see it, if that's what you mean.

Yeah, the one I was in was supernatural-ish; it was an fandom-based one (sans cannon characters) and there was a mix of humans and non-humans. Since it was fandom-based, everyone already had some idea of what was expected for non-human characters.

What sort of knuffel RP would you want to be in? What sort of storyline or setting, I mean.

Well, in group ones I can move around pretty easily if I get bored or anything. And I like to play characters who are kind of complicated backstory wise and aren't terribly pliable all the time. I guess I'm kind of afraid I'd get bored of whoever I was with. I like playing around and hooking different people, I guess to see what they'll do and such. I don't know if that's bad, I'm just kind of curious and it's pretty rare that any one person will amuse me. I'm more amused by their reactions to my characters.

It seems more realistic for most of my characters to interact with different people, since it's not really a part of their own story development to be in the RP, but 1x1s I suppose are opposite? I didn't mean like if people get dirty and all, I was just wondering how far people take it, is it like once there's a couple the rp ends?

Ah, I don't know. I guess I need to read more about Knuffels. :qhehe: I still think of mine as toddlers... so I guess I was thinking like a free-form, but I don't know if that would work.

Ah, I see, yeah, your character doesn't have to be attached to another. XD I forgot about that (haven't been in one for so long). That was fun in its own way.

If you get a skilled partner, you won't get bored as long as you do your part. I find that what dries up a one-on-one fairly quickly is when no one wants to do the work, or when one person is stuck doing it. If I'm the one proposing the ideas (the genre, the plot) and I'm the one initiating the whole damn thing and everything that follows, then I start to feel like I might was well do without the other RPer.

A good partner should come with common sense, unique/interesting suggestions/opinions/ideas, and do their share of the work in keeping the RP going.

I think your perspective and enjoyment of RPs is definitely suited to groups; I'm more of a one-on-one person now, though. I find that the interactions (even platonic ones) have a more personal touch to them, and since you tend to focus on the characters over the story, there are more opportunities to develop them. Er, at least that's how I feel.

When my partners and I RP in one-on-ones, we tend to have more secondary characters in the story (or at least mentioned) so that it doesn't seem like the only person they communicate with is the other character. XD

Oh, uh, it depends on what you want in an RP. I've RPed with one partner for quite a while where our characters were in a relationship. It was pretty interesting because new issues and obstacles keep popping up, kinda the way there's always something new in every episode of a TV series, I suppose. Even though our characters were already in a relationship, there was a lot they didn't know about each other, and sometimes they hurt each other without meaning to, or their idea of love was different. It was very interesting.

In another RP where our OCs eventually hooked up, another partner and I had fun just writing about the lives of our characters --very everyday-seeming stuff that just amused us because they're such dorks. XD I don't do much of the lovey-dovey, so the romance in my stories tend to either have a lot of drama or humor.

One idea I think would be interesting for a Knuffel RP is if we sorta cross it over with the Pokemon world. I can see a world where the main way a Knuffel earns food is by battling in public, Kingdom-approved competitions. Of course, there are other ways to earn a living, like joining beauty pageants, and digging (which would also be quite common) or having more normal jobs (like being a teacher or trainer or doctor or officer...) So the knuffels would be like a combination of both trainer and Pokemon. XD And of course, Team Rocket/the antagonist would probably be the Wuffels who want to invade and steal all the food.

Ah, it seems like there's a lot of planning involved in the 1x1s. I'm definitely more for spontaneous stuff (and I'm usually the one who does it too though). I suppose if I was going to plan I'd feel more like writing. I guess maybe I could find someone who wouldn't mind that kind of stuff. Hmm, I think I'll read some, but it seems like something I should try sometime.

I love that idea for a Knuffel Rp! :D Are you thinking that the Knuffels would be like the Pokemon though and a character would be the trainer or they just do both? I was thinking like actually having Knuffels catch Pokemon- that would be crazy. XD

Wuffels are awesome, I love their design. <3

You don't have to plan so much in one-on-ones; it depends on what you prefer. Me, I like having some set idea to start off with, and what happens after that is up in the air, though there are back-up ideas and things that may later be incorporated into the story.

My RP with Faris, for example, will start off with Faris making his way to the modern world and then invading this other person's home as a way of avoiding his old teacher from forcing him to conform to the general wizard ways. This other kid is a serious university student, the no-nonsense kind, and he's probably going to spend a while questioning his sanity and trying to convince himself that Faris isn't real. Around the time he starts getting used to Faris, we're going to add to the plot where Faris' teacher does find him, and plays a trick on him by giving the other character something that will make Faris behave (something like the crown that the Monkey King wears so that the good monk can keep him in control). After that... I have no idea what will happen, though with Phiiilex, I don't doubt that the two of us can whip up some fairly interesting side stories to keep us occupied. XD

I suggested that Faris enchant a pen that can write all the correct answers so that Mr. Serious Other Character doesn't have to study all the time, but said character could go and lose it, and then they'd have to find a way to get it back. I can also see how since Faris has only a basic knowledge of the modern world, so many things can go wrong. And what about if he meets other people from this world? The ideas go on and on, and maybe the other character might even go to Faris' world one day or more people would show up from there... something... lots of ideas...

Aha, well, I am good with coming up with ideas. *puffs up chest proudly* :D I was thinking that there are no trainers and the Knuffels are individuals, but can work as a team. That's what I mean by the Knuffels are the trainers. No one owns them or forces them to work, it's just a way of life for them. They train and battle all by themselves or hire fellow knuffels who are more experienced to train them.

Knuffels catching Pokemon might end up a little hectic. XD

I see. *nods* A lot of twists happen it sounds like.

Yeah, it would be kind of hectic to have pokemon and Knuffels XP That sounds like fun though.

i think.. i feel a little more saddened by the fact that I didn't know her as well as i currently know my mawmaw on my moms side.. When i found out, i had remorse on all the years that I had the chance to get to know her, but didn't really think about it...more than im sad that she's gone.. I hurt for my dad, but.. i hurt that I have to face a two sisters, and two brothers who are going through emotions i know all to well, because I lost my grandpa whom i was really very close to less than a year ago. I hurt because I cant be any condolance to them.
