/erp/ - Erotic Roleplay★

I've always wanted to see a profile that played a girl with a disability without trying to work up the pity angle. A girl in a wheel chair, a deaf girl, a blind girl, whatever. Just someone trying their best and maintaining an optimistic world view rather than someone who needs a pity party.

>>121489

Not once have I played the pity angle in a way that wasn't her making a joke out of it.

Shh, our little secret.

>>121491

I always forget the link. Pity my fucking autism disability. https://www.f-list.net/c/anastasia%20dolloway/

>>121489

I've been wanting to play a medium-functioning autistic character who is nonverbal in times of stress. I'm high-functioning myself so I don't really have a good reason to play the pity angle there. I mostly want to play a character who has a thought process more similar to my own for once.

I think that a lot of people who play characters with disabilities because they want to be taken care of, or perhaps they are just catering to others' savior fantasies.

>>121492

Oh, you're great. I wanna play with you! Bookmarked!

>>121493

Yeah, I agree. It's not that I particularly dislike those things, I just think there's more depth to be explored there too. If you make that character, let me know! I'd love to play!

>>121489

I think I saw a Katawa Shoujou with a decent looking profile once. An Emi if I remember correctly.

I wonder how hard it would be to play a mute or deaf character? I assume it would involve a lot of "my character suddenly knows sign language", which feels almost like cheating. I might have just gotten an idea for a new character.

>>121492

I have a character that would work really well as a suitor for yours, but I can't really do any rp til next month, so in the mean time I bookmarked ya.

Very good player and character, and I can personally recommend them. They don't tend to play their character stooped in pity, although they do have psychological problems as a result of their accident. Still - an optimistic and good-natured character.

Do you guys think there's anything salvageable for a grizzled veteran, or is it too much of a cliche?

>>122160

If you put some kind of spin on it, you'll probably have a hell of a lot more play than most blues if you go for an older guy rather than a jaded 20-something. For what it's worth, it's one of my favorite tropes, too

>>122160

I love playing with grizzled veteran types.

It's definitely a cliche but if you give him a lot of character and make an inviting profile you'll get more attention.

>>122161

I was thinking of either going the bitter or sympathetic route, with sympathetic being masked with bravado/machismo. I just feel grizzled veterans for more compelling characters and stories. At first I was thinking of a noble or lord, but that's that even more of a cliche, a boring one at that. Sure nobility have problems and know (to extent) what suffering is, but at least they have the luxury of having luxury.

>>122167

Pick the backstory that will best fit the kinds of stories you want to roleplay.

Looking mainly for damsel in distress lovers? Maybe a noble background.

Looking mainly for tomboys living in the streets? Commoner background.

>>122169

Being the second or third kid in a low-nobility family is a good in-between.

Also got a couple others on the queer end of the spectrum.

>Androgynous looking blond trap

>Raised by a single mother in an isolated small town to be the idealised housewife because..reasons

>Cooks, cleans, takes cock like a champ

His flaw is being the product of his environment.

Smart enough, but woefully ignorant because "a lady doesn't need books"

Sexual purest, but a believer in "true love" plus teenage hormones/curiosity make him fairly easy to manipulate

Or

>Bratty nightmare princeling of fantasy egypt

>pissed off enough people and ends up "taught a lesson" by pervert priests

>monsterrape.mp3 and lewd_alterations.iso online

>brat becomes totally dependent on sex. Cannot cum without a living cock

>still tries to pretend all is well. Pride's the only thing holding him together in public

flaws are obvious. He is 100% desperate all of the time and as such pathetically easy to control

>>122561

Still more!

>Demon trap

>Either a former seer/individual of considerable power cursed by a rival into a wish-granting cocksleve for humans as revenge for some ancient slight

>Alternatively, a fledgling demon drawn to the big city and the wealth of human corruption. Controls a nightclub and poses as an illegal whore to have fun while he matures

and finally

>Fantasy version of that server dude

>Chill, full of stories about strange experiences and exotic places

>never in one place for any length of time

>Tall, tan, and just a little bit shaggy

>Flagrant bisexual and switch

>A less retarded Owen Wilson in Zoolander type

I'd love to play a character who can be several different Warframe frames (mostly the 'female' ones), being some kind of AI or void conscience or something like that, but is bound to the Operator (a shota or loli) in the same way a normal frame is. She has a bit of autonomy, but all in all must do as the Operator commands.

I don't know if anyone would be willing to play an operator for her, however.

Would love even more if the Operator commanded her to bang his/her kubrows and kavats (dogs and cats)

>Decide to make a character for a fantasy setting

>"Oh, I'll base them in a setting like Persia just after the Islamic conquest!"

>I've spent three days watching videos and reading up on Zoroastrianism, the status of women in Sassanid Persia, and drawing a map.

Autism is suffering.

It's a canon character, but yeah. There's a lot of self-pity, but that's really internal stuff that gets worked out through the course of the manga.

I CAN'T FUCK YET, I NEED TO KNOW THE EFFECTS OF ISLAMIC INFLUENCE ON PERSIAN SOCIETY

>>127861

>>127896

TO BE ENTIRELY FAIR, the way that Islam entered Persia and interacted with the existing religions and how it became entangled with politics is pretty damn interesting

>>127989

These fonts mostly all fall into either "readable but ugly" (southeast), "pretty but hard to read" (Tribals and Melekh). The text on Cuithar is fine, though the decorated capitals don't work too well on darker colors like the purple, and the text on Arvandid is readable, but looks more like dying sharpie than brushstroke to me.

The faux-Arabic in particular is not what I'd have picked. The line and superfluous dots really fuck with readability. As a graphic design grad, you're not being paranoid.

>>128076

Much better, especially with the outline stroke on the third map. Black text with a white outline is readable on any color backing, which is why it's been the meme standard for so long.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwYUexL0zGS_YzFnc09yamh2ZGM is another tutorial, though I wasn't as big on it.

I'm not as familiar with the period right of the conquest, save that:

-Azerbaijan/Media Atropatene region produced a lot of resistance movements galvanized around pseudo-Zoroastrianism with communistic themes. Babak Khorramdin and Wandad Hurmuzd.

-Similarly Zoroastrians or other affiliated groups likely maintained majority in populace in the South of the Caspian region (Gilan/Mazandaran) until the 11th/12th century or so.

-Abbasid centrifugation of power in the 9th century onward led to the flowering and re-assertion of Persian culture with the various Iranian dynasties (Samanids, Buyids from Mazandaran, so many others I forget the name of) or Iranianized Turkic dynasties like the Ghaznavids.

-Arab chauvenism by the early Caliphate and Umayyad dynasty led to the Iranian support and Persianization of the Abbasid revolution. The Persianization of court ritual and practice by the Abbasids (exemplified by the switch of the capital from Damascus to Baghdad) is well noted, as is the rise of Persian bureaucrats and courtiers and concubines leading to Caliphs who were not so Arab-nationalist in their background or thinking.

-I believe the dekhan/diqhan minor gentry (think a knight in terms of social standing. Not a large land-holding nobility but a more modest one) were at the forefront of the Persian cultural flowering during that aformentioned period.

>>128085

-Sassanid prince Peroz III and I believe others fled to T'ang China and found a supportive structure and welcoming asylum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroz_III

-The iranian speaking sughdians were a hugely important and influential people in the Central Asian region prior to the Turkification in the later medieval period. Along with the gandharans they pretty much single handedly brought Buddhism to China, were the predominant merchantfolk in that proto-Silk road and lived in sizable numbers in China. However, they tended to disappear following the later An Lushan (half turk half Sughdian. Lushan is siad to be the sinicized version of Roxanne/Roshan, the Iranian term being bright or noble or brilliant) revolt that devastated T'ang China in the 8th century.

-There was a major disconnect since the founding of the Sassanian dynasty between the incredibly lucrative but barely (if at all, really) Iranianized Mesopotamia province and the poorer but more militarily fertile Iranian plateau. Mesopotamia was overwhelmingly Christian, Jewish, and minor sects to the point that outside of courtiers and your visiting nobles at Ctesiphon I am skeptical there were much of any Zoroastrians in Mesopotamia. Definitely doubt there were any among native Aramaean-speakers.

-Christiainity was also making steady inroads among some Iranians. It wasn't at a point of replacing Zoroastrianism but I know some of the last Shahenshahs had wives or sisters or mothers who were Chrisitan.

That first one sounds really cute.
