Yo guys! My name is Seth(they/them/theirs) and I am from Brazil! I’ve been roleplaying for about 4 years on tumblr and some time on other platforms. I’m so fucking shy but also friendly/nerdy. So if you need to contact, please feel free.             

[munfaceclaim: Wrench - Watch Dogs 2]

——————————————————————————————————

Please read the codes, profile, and verses before interacting.

My muse is based on AU about Jack Morrison from Overwatch. But I also portray with my own headcanons.

Trigger themes that may seem on this blog: knives, guns, death, murder, violence, blood, alcohol, smoking.

My slasher!jack won’t kill or hurt your muse without your permission. I won’t do any godmodding and I ask the same of you. But please remind that every action has consequences on his part. Besides the fact that he has an unstable personality. So be careful when your muse is interacting with him.

I am not native english. So my english is a work in progress. Besides, I can rp in portuguese as well.

Mun is not very good at interactions. So please forgive and let me know if I offended you in any way.

I don’t have problems rp with any fandom, oc, multimuse or duplicates. However, please have an about page. It gets tricky if it’s a fandom I don’t know or that I’m not used to interacting with.

I’ll not follow and unfollow: Personal blogs -  Rp blogs there are no about page and rules - Too many untrimmed posts - Too many ooc posts. (When I refer ooc posts, there is NOT vent or some specific post about the mun. I’m just trying to keep my dash as clean as possible.)

Personal blogs don’t follow me and if you follow I’ll block. I apologize for this, but I ended up having some problems with some. I prefer that this doesn’t happen again. Unless, of course, you have an rp side-blog. But please, let me know as soon as you follow. Also, don’t reblog my posts and headcanons, please!

I don’t have this sort of karma reblog, but I’m not reblogging meme either. Please reblog from the source.

I’m highly selective and mutuals only. So please respect if I decline any ask, starter or even if I don’t follow back.

Yes, I have Discord. But please don’t ask me. I prefer to leave Discord to friends and some mutuals I’m interacting a lot. But remember if you don’t have my account doesn’t mean that you are less mutual or friend, or that you are not enough. It’s just because there is my comfort zone and I want to keep it a bit restricted, just that ok?

No godmoding, please.

I have a limit on how many threads can be accepted. So ask first before tagged or do some random starter.

Because of the mercenary lifestyle I have, unfortunately, I’ll not be able to accept magic anons. Sorry about that.

Life is busy as hell so slow-activity here. Don’t annoy me about replying. Please be patient and wait to be answered. But if it happens to take a long time, ask me politely.

Don’t force relationships with my muse. I’ll ship x with chemistry. Pre-established relationships can be accepted if your muse is part of the background of my muse. There are other exceptions too, but it needs to be discussed first, please.

I’m an adult and I’ll not roleplay anything considered inappropriate with lower ages. ( Even in character!) You must be 18 years old and please don’t insist!

For smut threads, I’ll reply on discord or by an nsfw side-blog. I’m fine with fade to black as well. Remember that smut is not my priority here. It may happen but I prefer other types as well. Besides, smut threads just with mutuals that I’ve known for a long time. With new mutuals can happen, but I prefer our muses to interact a little more. Even if they already have a pre-established relationship. And it’s necessary that we have good ooc communication.

Please tag your nsfw posts. I have a blacklist, but it doesn’t help if you don’t tag your posts properly.

Don’t make dramas. If you have any problem talk in private. Don’t send anon hates or start a post in public. Respect and don’t be childish. Try solves the problem. If you insist, block without notice.

I’ll not accept hate anons.

If you have any trigger talk to me, please.

These rules are not absolute. There might be changes, updates or something removed at any moment.

Thanks for your time and I hope you have fun!

Hey! After following you for a while, I've become very interested in getting into the rp community. However, I have absolutely no idea how. Could you possibly give me any tips on where to begin?

astraea’s tips, tricks, & advice for new rpers !!

I’m so glad that my blog has inspired you! I can definitely offer you a few tips and give you a general idea of how and where to begin. I hope all of this helps you out, and as always, feel free to reach out to me through IMs as well. I’ve done a lot of “RP mentoring” type of things where I’ve helped new roleplayers out and it’s always been a pleasure and a great experience. 

Since this list of tips is a little lengthy, I’ve placed it under a read more. But anyways, let’s begin!

❝ ※ *. : ｡ →  TYPES OF ROLEPLAYS.

I believe that in order to get a good grasp of the concept of roleplaying, you need to learn about and understand the various ways you can do it. Generally speaking, there are three main ways to RP. Of course, within that, there are subcategories, but we’ll get there when we get there. Just know that you have a choice to pick where you feel most comfortable.

group roleplay. 

For a long time, roleplay groups (RPGs) were relatively simple. They were broken up into two simple categories: original character (OC) and biography roleplays. How, however, it has become a little bit more complex. Skeleton roleplays and appless roleplays have quickly taken over, and for a moment, multi-muse (mumu) roleplays were popular. Of course, this most likely sounds like a load of gibberish, so let me enlighten you a little. 

Roleplay groups (RPGs) ⸺ this is the umbrella term for roleplays that consist of a group of people. It acts like a network and generally speaking, the group will follow the same plot and there is a main account that represents them as a whole. if you are not in the group, then you cannot roleplay with any of the characters that are in it and vice versa; if you are in it, you cannot roleplay with people that aren’t. this is generally referred to as a closed group. 

Original character roleplays (OC RP) ⸺ this is a type of RPG in which the people who wish to be a part of it are responsible for creating their own characters. each person has written their own character, and therefore, the character belongs to them. some roleplays that are mixed with biography roleplays, however, may ask you if they can keep your character as a pre-written bio if you ever chose to leave. this isn’t really common anymore, though. 

Biography roleplays (bio RP) ⸺ this is a type of RPG in which the admins/creators of the roleplay are responsible for writing the characters’ biographies. not all roleplays, however, can claim ownership over the characters since some of them are fandom-based, and therefore, belong to the original content creator. 

Skeleton roleplays ⸺ this is a type of RPG in which the admins/creators of the roleplay have provided a basic outline of a character. usually, these types of roleplays do not assign faceclaims to the role; instead, they make suggestions, but inevitably, do leave the faceclaim decision up to the applicant. 

Appless roleplays ⸺ this is a type of RPG in which the application process is relatively simple. the application has a layout in which the information you input is the basic stuff. characters name, age, a secret or positives/negatives, and your out of character information. 

Multi-muse roleplays (mumu RP) ⸺ this is a type of RPG in which the number of characters you can have is very high. in a normal roleplay, your character limit is usually anywhere from one to three. in a mumu, however, you are able to have a larger amount of characters. this is also a little tricky because i have seen mumus done in different ways. one way that is common is mumus that are set up like rpgs. another way, which is the only way i have ever done a mumu, is by connecting with a group of friends you feel comfortable with. this is an easy way to test out new ships or characters without having all the pressure of a more “professional” rpg setting. 

Twitter roleplays ⸺ this is a type of RPG in which there is a main account on tumblr where you can apply, but the actual roleplay occurs on twitter. really, i’ve never been in one of these so i’m not sure how they go. i will leave a link at the end to a tutorial, though. 

Now, within all of this, there are different genres you can look into. Horror, action, mystery, urban, bandom, fandom, etc. Again, the choice is yours. One thing to consider, though, is how much time you have and how much you are willing to write. Generally speaking, appless roleplays, twitter roleplays, and some OC roleplays have less writing than the others. However, this is just a generalization and does not apply to every roleplay that falls into these categories. Also, remember that no person is better than the other just because they write more or less. 

independent/1x1 roleplay.

This style of roleplay is not for everyone. For some, it can be a little more intimidating than a group roleplay. To others, it can be even better than a group. It’s up to your personal preference, and within this category, you have the option of independent roleplaying, or 1x1 roleplaying. Let’s get to know both of the options. 

Independent roleplay (indie RP) ⸺ this is a style of roleplay in which you are essentially creating your own rules. this, as the name suggests, grants you more freedom. in this, you are not confined to a group; therefore, you can roleplay with whoever you want. the drawback? a lot of indie roleplayers are picky with who you write you. you may see a lot of words like “selective” and “mutuals only” being used and this is simply because they create their own rules and they determine who they want to roleplay with. generally speaking, many people do pick only one character to play and choose one fandom to stick with. however, as always, this is not always the case and many people also do have “primary” characters and verses that they write in/with and “secondaries.”

1x1 roleplay (1x1 RP) ⸺ this is a style of roleplay in which you are essentially creating your own rules. this, as the name suggests, usually means that one character is roleplaying with another and you have an established writing partner a plotline. 1x1s are meticulously plotted out with a fellow writer. since there are a lot of 1x1 roleplayers, it is relatively hard to get yourself established. because of this, i do recommend being very outgoing and friendly. 

Now, these styles of roleplays, in my opinion, are more difficult than RPGs. I have a hard time reaching out to RPers that I want to write with, especially if we aren’t in a group. Also, not to bash anything or give you an opinion before you can really form your own, but many fandom indie/1x1 people can be very cliquey. You’ll come to notice that there are a lot of call out posts involved with people bullying/being rude. Obviously, however, this can happen everywhere. 

❝ ※ *. : ｡ →  GENERAL RULES.

The majority of roleplays and people have a general understanding and a general idea of roleplay etiquette. This includes, but is not limited to:  

No bullying is allowed. This is a quick way to get a call out post about you. Just be nice and don’t try to “troll” people. It really isn’t nice to get hate messages. 

Don’t steal. Seriously, don’t steal characters, roleplay ideas, or themes that do not belong to you. It’s a huge no-no. 

Don’t godmod. Over the years, this has developed a bit. Godmodding used to be described as writing a character who is oppressing another or controlling another person’s character. Now, assuming a person’s thoughts/actions/words is also considered godmodding. The best thing is to ask if the other person is comfortable with something or if it is within their character’s limits. 

Don’t lie. This is serious. Lying, especially about your age, is wrong. If you are lying and saying you are older than you really are, you can actually get into legal trouble. This is specific toward people who are underaged and write smut. As a general rule, do not write smut unless you are 18 or older, and do not write smut with another person unless they are 18 or older. 

Tag any triggers. Of course, you may forget or you may not be aware of what other people may consider a trigger, but do your best. And FYI, tag your triggers with the trigger first. For example: blood tw. See? Blood is put before the tw and this is primarily because blacklist will only pick up the first word of a tag. At least, that’s what people have been saying? Not sure, but still, do it just to be safe. 

Organization. I’m not saying this is necessary, but it is appreciated. Having a tag system is great because it can allow others to navigate your blog easily. Also, have a neat and clean theme that has legible text. 

Cut your posts. Cutting your posts means that only the 2 most recent replies are included in the post. This means the other person’s last reply and your reply. I’ll provide a link to a tutorial at the end. 

❝ ※ *. : ｡ →  FRIENDLY REMINDERS.

A lot of people forget these things, so I think it’s important to get them ingrained into your system before you start! 

First and foremost, this is for fun. If you find yourself getting stressed or anxious, stop, take a break, and focus on what really matters. Roleplaying is an outlet, and therefore, should be something that relaxes you. If you need to quit an RPG because life is too busy, do it. If you need to drop plots, do it. The group and your writing partners will understand, and if they don’t, well, they probably aren’t people you should be associating with, to begin with. 

Only take on what you can handle. Don’t be afraid to say no to plotting, especially with indies or 1x1s. If you have too much going on, politely decline and offer to plot when you have free time.

Aesthetic isn’t everything. I know people that don’t like those contained themes but use it because people will only RP with them if they have a contained theme with nice graphics. That logic is flawed because people shouldn’t want to roleplay with you because you have a nice aesthetic. They should roleplay with you because of a connection. 

Getting your application rejected isn’t the end of the world. If you get rejected, you can always ask why or what you can improve upon. Take the opportunity to improve your writing and general understanding of concepts. I’ve personally been rejected about four times from roleplays, two of which happened last year when I had about 5 years of experience on my hand. It really isn’t the end of the world and a lot of times, it’s just because the admins felt that another person had a better understanding of the character, not because your writing “sucks.”

If you feel insecure about your writing, that doesn’t mean you have to stop. Be observant and look at the way other people write and see if there’s something lacking in your own. Maybe your writing is clouded with purple prose or maybe your narratives aren’t descriptive enough. Always be observant and try to improve, don’t give up right away.
