COMPLETELY Realistic roleplays on our club are almost impossible, 或者 at least in the sense that was talked about. Now that isn’t to say that there aren’t some very realistic 邪恶力量 roleplays; as long as 你 can scientifically explain it, 或者 由 other means explain it, then it’s technically realistic to an extent, but I suppose down-to-earth is 更多 accurate a description.
This means roleplays that aren’t all high-scale and full of powerhouses; roleplays where 你 can interact with characters that don’t have 邪恶力量 abilities (or a small amount) without feeling dwarfed.
Now the problem with this is not so much that people aren’t willing to make down-to-earth roleplays, (My Thief Roleplays were usually pretty low-scale on supernaturalism, and Mephiles97’s “Amped” roleplay is very realistic and down-to-earth in its captive-escape-theme, even Matt’s “Tales of the Eclipse” while including 邪恶力量 events, I could easily see being played on with a non-powered character) it’s 更多 that the characters involved 由 the person who 答案 the roleplay are too powerful, 或者 out there, to work.
This isn’t specific to powers of course. There can be characters with a super-complex past, extreme mental conditions, some extreme position of power, etc. but 更多 times than not it’s involving characters with ice-powers, chaos powers, super strength, etc.
What I would suggest for the obvious solution is…
FOR THE ROLEPLAY-MAKERS MAKE SURE THAT
~Your roleplay has a specific scale-factor so that 你 know it’s clear what kind of character-audience 你 want to attract,
~Always try to make sure that those without powers can still complete tasks in the roleplay without making them obsolete; ergo make their existence have meaning; make sure they get to do things that your characters can’t easily do without them.
~Practice variety of scale and topic, and make sure your roleplay-theme balances with the scale. For instance, while my roleplay “DNA Catastrophe” involves DNA-Manipulation, element-changing identities, and 更多 邪恶力量 elements, the theme of the roleplay is an open-world casual-mystery, and the scale is almost always low-grounded. So yes 你 can have 邪恶力量 elements in it as long as the main focus can still be realism-based.
FOR THE ROLEPLAY-REPLY’ERS MAKE SURE THAT
~(If 你 have multiple characters)You use variety in the scales of your characters so that 你 can get people familiar with your different characters.
~Always try using your powerless/”weak”/”realistic” characters whenever 你 can. 你 WILL get into many situations where it’s actually 更多 fun to use them than your powerful characters, and it makes the interactions 更多 skill-based, giving 你 更多 of a reward for good roleplaying. For instance, when I use characters like Paige 或者 Craiger, neither have powers but they still have their own skills that I have to utilize. Dave on the other hand has no fighting-skills, nor does he have powers, so it becomes 更多 of a challenge to roleplay as him. Whether 或者 not the challenge is enjoyable is up to the two (or more) in the roleplay.
~Don’t be afraid to 显示 weaknesses. Believe me when I say that this will increase the entertainment and depth of a roleplay incredibly. Realize your characters faults, as well as strengths, and address them when needed. If there isn’t a chance to do so, that’s fine, but when there is, it will help. This isn’t so much power-based realism, but emotional-realism, making your character seem believable and realistic in their personality and thus making the roleplay itself 更多 realistic.
In the end this isn’t a problem of the scale 或者 realism of some roleplays, but…
>the amount of down-to-earth roleplays to balance the 邪恶力量 roleplays,
>and the variety of characters able to fit in the roleplay without seeming out of place.
There are a lot of realistic roleplays out there, it just takes time to find them. But in terms of specific wants for a roleplay, I think it would be a good idea if we set up a sort of roleplay-board where we can post elements and ideas we would like to see in roleplays. That way people can look at the 列表 and use that as a basis to see what people want in a roleplay and balance it with what they want in one.
Hope that helped. This wasn’t really going to be a rant originally (as 你 can see 由 the shortness) but I felt I might as well go all out to make sure I made everything clear. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.
