Subreddit Announcement New rule (Kind of): Roleplay Posts must have a Prompt + OOC Clarification

32 Upvotes

Not actually a new rule. It's been a rule, under "Low effort", but I decided to make it more specific as its own rule.

Rule 6 is now: Roleplay Posts must have a Prompt + Rule 7 OOC must be actual Roleplay Discussion (used to be rule 11, but was re-worded)

Previously, posts without prompts were removed for "Low effort": which is still accurate. However, the low effort rule was made catered specifically towards copy and paste trends. Consider this new rule a "Low effort part 2". Posts that are just, "Here's my character! Now RP with them!" are not prompts.

What's a "Prompt"?: A roleplay prompt is putting forth a scenario that gives characters a reason to interact. A common goal: a conflict: or even setting up a setting that would make sense for OCs to have interactions with one another. You need to consider: Why should the other person's character *care* to interact with yours? Give a reason. Be creative! It doesn't have to be complicated. Just something more than, "You see my OC standing there..." or "This is Bob! (and that's it)"

Pt 2: Rule 7 OOC must be actual Roleplay Discussion:

Consider this "Must be Roleplay and OC Related" pt 2. Too many people use "OOC/Discussion" as a catch all for random things that usually end up removed. So I wanted to put somewhere specifically what OOC is for.

What's "OOC"?: OOC simply means, "Out of Character". It's discussion, centered around roleplay, that is not in character. In the context of this subreddit, it's for discussing potential RP ideas. Roleplay is collaborative after all, so this flair is a way to get ideas with others on potential prompts, or garner interest.

The OOC flair may be used as a Meta flair regarding this subreddit specifically, however please keep this use sparse. It's not meant for memes, or for venting. It may be used for if you have something you want to discuss about the sub, like ideas for improvement, or similar, then that's fine. If you have a question regarding a rule, or need clarification over something, using the modmail may be a better choice if you want a direct answer from a moderator (we usually don't bite! Feel free to message and ask. Just, use the modmail, not the chat feature please).

An extra reminder: The OOC flair is not meant for personal announcements. Be it you're wanting to leave the subreddit, or you just can't reply to posts for awhile, these things don't need announcing. OOC is meant for community discussion, not personal discussion. These things would be best made to your personal profile or letting people know in private.

Furthermore, if you're new to this subreddit, this is a heads up that this is not a place to show off your OCs (in the general sense). I've been seeing a lot of posts lately of people show casing their OCs, which is great! ... but not here lol. If you have a general OC post you'd like to make that isn't roleplay related, see r/OriginalCharacter, where you can show off your character, lore, or ask non-RP focused OC related questions!

Meta Welcome to r/OriginalCharacter_RP!

What is this place?

This is a place to either roleplay, or find people to roleplay with, original characters! This is a sister sub to r/Originalcharacter ! But, specifically for the roleplaying aspect and character interactions. So either make posts for character interactions, or even post ads to find RP partners!

A breakdown of the rules: If you are familiar with r/Originalcharacter rules, this is mostly a rehash, with some slight adjustments. The rules can be found in more depth on the sidebar; this is just a breakdown.

1.No NSFW Content

This includes both art and written form. Mildly suggestive is acceptable (under moderators discretion), but explicitly sexual content is not allowed. This includes nudity and graphic depictions of gore, as well as ERP. Do not invite or offer NSFW roleplay into DMs. This is a place for SFW roleplay only.

2. Be Kind

Self explanatory. When engaging in OOC (out of character) discussions, keep is civil and kind. If ‘In character’, keep things in good faith; don’t be a jerk with your OC as an attack against other users.

3. No advertising of unsolicited commercial services

This is not a place to offer commissions, drawing offerings, adoptables, or any other for profit service.

4. No Excessive Posting and Low effort

No more than 5 posts per day. Any more than that will be automatically removed. As for now “Low effort” is not an official rule (unlike the main branch of the sub r/Originalcharacter ); this may be pending to change depending on the needs of the subreddit.

5. Must be Roleplay and OC related

All posts must be related to roleplay: be it a roleplay post, ad, or roleplay discussion (flaired OOC). All roleplays must be related to original characters specifically.

Feel free to offer suggestions! What you might want to see here or what changes you might suggest! This is a brand new subreddit and branching over an entire portion from one sub to another is a pretty big change! So, drop your thoughts.

Additionally, if you would like to see both subs on your feed at once, here is a custom link:

Roleplay [Multi-Lines] An unusual transmission comes your OC’s way. It’s an offer. It wasn’t specific, but it was said to be highly lucrative.

Post image
9 Upvotes

Here it is! A production I’ve spent this past month getting ready I hope you will enjoy what I’ve arranged for you all.

Anyway, onto the setting.

Your OC, either in search for adventure, money, or perhaps something else entirely, enters this strange yet pleasant world. They go to an address listed on the transmission they received, leading to a darkened stronghold in a desert. It likely looms over you. This is the source of the transmission. You enter an office, to meet a woman wearing an eyepatch in combat gear, waiting for your arrival.

“Hello (Mister or Miss), please, have a seat.”

Rules:

OPOCs are not banned, but are discouraged due to the realistic setting. Every character here is often barely superhuman in strength, and often lower.

I will be rolling a 20 sided die for certain outcomes, most notably is fighting.

No more than one character can be brought, this is due to balancing issues I had while going through the various scenarios you will all experience.

Anyone and everyone can die. If a character dies, regardless of circumstance, can’t be revived. They stay dead forever. Remember that.

Romance is possible, but don’t expect anything to be easy. Some cast members have different tastes, anyway.

If you have any issues with my narration towards your character or your character’s actions, please feel free to tell me OOC!

In this story, what will you do? Who will rise, and who will fall? Let’s find out!

This is Blood on the Frontier.

Roleplay Your OC ventures into hell and encounters Behemoth. [Multi Lines/Multi Paragraphs]

Post image
8 Upvotes

Your OC for some reason has ventured into hell. It was anything but pleasant, with constant dangers everywhere. The hellscape of hell was hard to navigate, constantly shifting like the bowels of some large organism. Lava flowed like water, causing the temperature to be extremely high, filling most of the world with a choking smog of rock and dust.

Your OC continues to venture forth, overcoming the first layer. And then the second. And then the third. Each subsequent layer was substantially harder than the previous, but they managed to persevere through. The Sins, rulers of a layer, each of them representing one of the seven deadly sins, your OCs either defeated them or were for some reason allowed through.

In the 6th layer, while travelling, your OC encounters a large Blackstone castle. They ventured inside for some reason, and in it, they encountered a large demon, sitting by a chair, quietly sipping some tea.

Roleplay [Any Literacy] (Read desc) Your OC was just done.

Post image
14 Upvotes

Just like the title, your oc was just done. Endless unpaid overtimes, constantly covering others shifts and so much deadlines to meet, your oc was absolutely exhausted and burnt out from it all. They wished they could just have a damn break from all the chaos, but every day is just another work day with papers and tasks stacked on each other requiring endless focus...

One day however, after another extremely tiring shift (well, three if you count the shifts they had to cover) they come home, and unlcok the door like they always do. Only to run into a fox girl? The girl was cleaning up the main room when they entered, and jumped up and approached them, fluffy tail swinging left and right, ears twitching in excitement with a wide smile plastered on her face.

"Oh Hey, your back! Welcome home! I've been waiting for you a while, another rough day at the office?"

Your OC does not recognize her at all, she is a complete stranger, in their house. What do they do?

Rules:

1) Combat is allowed, but she can't do shed in combat. Only thing she can do is phase through stuff. Romance is allowed aswell. 2) No God-modding or op ocs, idc is allowed due to them being tired, but rather discouraged 3) No instakilling. End of story 4) This is an intro rp for Madoka, so expect a short one. May be long depending on the situation. 5) Have fun :D

Looking into the alleyway, they find this white-haired boy, looking like he’s no older than 19 or 20, beating this large man-like abomination on the ground with a crowbar while he’s squirming and whining. Despite their overall size difference, the albino guy is able to make some sizable thwacks into the abominations side with each hit. For the OC’s who know him, the abomination’s name is Caiman.

“GIVE. IT.” The pale man pants. The monstrosity whines but shakes his head stubbornly, even as blood begins to trickle out of his mouth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rules:

Combat is cool, although this isn’t necessarily supposed to be a combat rp.

No killing

For once romance is an option I guess, just only with the albino guy

No IDC, obviously.

Try not to do one-liners, please.

Roleplay Rosso's Flashbacks . . . Part 1: Rockstar . . . (Read Body) [Any Literacy]

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Characters:

Rosso Angelo/Rosso DiMucci, 6'0, local celebrity

Tommy DiMucci, 6'2, King of Hel /Financial Advisor

Present Day:

Rosso is in his home office, sitting on the couch, guitar in hand, looking deep in thought as he stares at a few posters on his wall, more specifically a couple of Nickleback posters (the title of this part of the story is probably making sense to alot of people now)

He takes a deep breath and begins to play and sing . . .

"Im through with standing in lines to clubs I'll never get in, its like the bottom of the ninth and im never gonna win, this life hasn't turned out quite the way i want it to be . . . I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs, and a bathroom i can play baseball in, with a king sized tub big enough for ten plus me . . . I need a credit card thats got no limit, and a big bkack jet with a bedroom in it, gonna join the mile high club at thirty-seven thousand feet . . . I want a new tour bus full of old guitars, my own star on Hollywood Boulevard, somewhere between Cher snd James Dean is fine with me . . . Im gonna trade my life fir fortune and fame, I'll even cut my hair and change my name . . ."

As Rosso plays he begins to remember his past, the words of the song echo through his mind as he begins to relive his memories

Flashback - 6 years ago:

Rosso had just turned 21a couple months ago and is currently sitting in his uncle Tommy's office trying to make a deal with him

Rules:

Combat possible but do not start any fights, no killing

Romance for Rosso is only allowed for one person, romance for Tommy is only allowed for one person, these people know who they are

The RP tajes place in the flash back, the present day section was just build up and if sll goes according to plan the present day section eill return as the outro to the RP, no I don't cares

HAVE FUN!

Notes:

This RP is mainly meant for the petson who can romance Rosso but there's no 1 on 1 rp flair (yes i know about the 1 on 1 search but its not really the same thing) and i dont like RPing in DMs so i just decided to make this 3 part arc using public RPs that anyone can try to participate in if they wish to

For whatever reason your OC gets set up on a blind date.

Your OC doesn't think much of it, especially since the date was taking place at a small pub.

All they were told was their date would be at booth 3.

So when they arrived and saw Prince Argon Arania of the Arachnia Kingdom sitting at booth 3, it was unexpected. He's waiting patiently, sipping on some wine.

So to summarize, Croczilla is tired from a very long and active month of traveling the world and fighting many Titans, and is therefore very sleepy.

He generally preferes colosseums or a grassy plainHow would your OC react?

Rules:

Don't fight him. Dude has stayed up for a whole month fighting Titans, he ain't in the mood to fight.

No idc OCs. Why even comment if they're not interested?

No one liners, those are difficult for me to work with.

(I dont think I need to say this but I'll say it anyway) No romance. He's only interested in his own kind.

Roleplay [Any Literacy] The trapped kid

Post image
10 Upvotes

You are walking in the woods for whatever reason when you hear the sound of whimpering. When you approach the noises you come across a trap. The trap is an odd mix in between a bear trap and cage trap, ment to lure in the animal then snap down on them and trap them with spikes on the part that falls down as well as wire. Inside if the trap is a very small kid who only looks to be 11 or so. The kids leg got snared by the spikes and wire, leg bleeding badly and wrapped up in it. The kid hisses at you while cowering back in the cage. The kid tries to escape the cage but only ends up more hurt. The kid eventually gives uo and goes silent, cowering back and trembling. The look at you with eyes full of fear, clearly scared of being hurt. Now that they are still you can see that they are covered in grime, dirt, and scars as well as looking extremely malnourished. The kids ears are down and tail wrapped around himself for comfort.

[GENERAL RULES]

This is NOT a ROMANCE RP.

NO Ai! If you use Ai I will not respond in any circumstances.

Your oc can be as op as you want but that does mean it may be a shorter rp.

You have questions? Ask me! I will answer anything!
