RP

[mllelaurel]

I must be crazy. I've always said I was a one-RP gal, yet here I am, joining another. (For those not in the know, br_tenipuri was the first).

So, yeah... I'm now match_point's new Taki Haginosuke. Why? Cause Rue asked me, and I agreed. Not my usual character, true, but the previous player's take on him was really fun, so I thought, why not.

I'm learning that Taki's head is a pretty cracked-out place to be. See his last entry, and you'll understand what I mean.

Coming soon: Application entry. Cause I feel like posting it at some point. Just not now.

As much as you're willing to put in. That's the short of it. You have to have a journal entry per week, or you get a 'punishment' (though those are one of the best parts...), anything else is up to you.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

How well-versed should a person be in the RP backstory?

Yatta! <3

I'd say know what (if anything) has already happened to your character (though I think you do have the power of retcon, if a particular event/characterization doesn't jive), and give everything else a perfunctory glanceover. I'd also suggest looking into what's been happening with the people your chara is close to, but that could be optional. If you're going with Sana or Yuki, you shouldn't have all that much catch-up.

Rikkai's pretty sparse, considering. Their Kirihara's a terror.

[hasn't been reading backposts alllll evening, oh no]

[isn't the least bit in love with Saeki, either, nopenopenope]

Hehe. The boy just needs some discipline. ...Which I'm sure you can provide.

Suuuuuuure.

Join the club! I <3<3<3 MP's Sae. He's such a wonderful friend, and a wonderful person, and gah! All without being the least bit sacharine. I want one!

[annotated_em]

I want one too. Gahbibble. Gahbibblebibblegah.

So.

Submissions. Um. Writing up a sample first-day-of-practice entry? That's it?

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yeah. Just make sure to focus on the character, more so than the events. Let the mods know you know him.

I can send you my own application entry, as an example, if you want. It bent the rules a bit, since it didn't take place on day one, as specified, but I was accepted, so all was good. For another good (fucking amazing!) application, check out the latest entry on Ohtori's journal. That one would qualify as going above and beyond the call of duty, cause Rue's a perfectionist.

Are you on AIM, by the way? If so, give me a ping at LiliyaAlexB.
