Title: Geemayn's RAEG Guide
Post by: GeeMayn on July 05, 2011, 03:03:41 AM: No, this isn't a guide on how to RAEG RP.
This is a guide showing what annoys me the most, so be warned about raegy words.

This mainly focuses on really annoying shit that I see everyday.

NUMBER ONE:
Fail Traits

Oh god, I honestly hate it when UCA applications state this:

Quote
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

-Respectful of authority
-Obeys orders
-Sometimes forgets small things, but not too often
-Committed to whatever he does

THESE ARE NOT TRAITS, STOP FUCKING USING THIS.
Instead, use THIS. (http://cte.jhu.edu/techacademy/web/2000/kochan/charactertraits.html)
It's the FIRST RESULT ON GOOGLE.

Another one is to STOP USING THE EXAMPLE TRAITS.
It ROYALLY ANNOYS ME and a certain somebody who's name I will not mention. Burning Bullet

NUMBER TWO:
Backstories
This isn't incredibly common, but STOP WITH THE FUCKING AUTHORITY-RELATED BACKSTORIES. I hate how nearly EVERYONE was an ex-SWAT member or some shit like that. I find police officers alright, but not a fucking megaofficer that could wipe out 20 men with a single bullet.

Because that's my backstory.

NUMBER THREE:
Total Badasses
It's probably a %2 chance that your fucking character knows everything about guns, let alone know how to PROPERLY use one. AND NO, YOUR FUCKING CHARACTER CAN'T LIFT A 500 POUND WEIGHT. STOP WITH THIS BADASS HORSESHIT.

NUMBER FOUR:
Cyber Descs
I HIGHLY FUCKING DOUBT THAT YOUR CHAR WOULD BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE A NICE ASS. In general: stop fucking putting shit in your description that you have a nice cock, it's fucking annoying. Stop cybering in general.

COUGH COUGH
YURI

NUMBER FIVE:
Asswipes with char themes
This doesn't typically mean ALL people with them, these are people who fucking choose them because 'der dis wil be kool wit my caractur!!1'
CHOOSE THEM FOR A FUCKING REASON.

Number five, this doesn't effect anyone, or RP whatsoever. Just let people have what themes they like, geez. I mean, what other reason is there to decide on a theme for your character if it's just "Because I feel that it fits."

A character description is what your character looks like when you see them, you don't walk around with your penis hanging out your trousers, do you? :P
