Your RElationship TO Your CHARacter

[Bhairava]

What is ur relationship like to the character that u play on P99.

Do you see yourself as your own character? Like, the character as an extension of urself, or an avatar of urself personally in game? Or is the character a tool with which u interact with the game, i.e. no investment of self or ego into the character?

If u are a man and you play a lady character, do you take pleaseure in 'PLAYING' a lady? Is this pleasure derived from controlling a lady character or from investing part of ur personality into another gender?

Is there internal roleplaying involved in ur relationship to your character? I.e. when you play a wood elf warrior, are you interneally feeling like 'i am wandering in this forest', 'i am fighting this orc', etc. or are you sitting from the outside watching like 'i am controlling this thing on the screen', 'this game is outside of me and i am actively aware of it', i.e what is ur level of immersion?

i play humans because im a human

I don’t usually create a character that reflects me in game. Usually I like the idea of being a silly cute gnome or a gross dumb ogre, but when I made my Rogue I knew I wanted him to be my first ever lvl 60. In order to accomplish this I decided to create a character that more closely reflected myself. I am in no way an elf or a thief/rogue but I do relate to the racial lore and character in general. It did work as I was more interested in progressing and continuing the journey.

[starkind]

A lot of people will be in denial about their immersion levels.

I like playing a pretty character because I like being pretty. But like.. I am not the character lol. I don't get as immersed in troll or male characters because they don't reflect my personality or aesthetique.

Like.. I don't really enjoy wearing denim irl. But I've some gorgeous dresses and cute AF outfits. But maybe I could do the cowgirl thing.

Sometimes I get pretty immersed with what I'm doing in game, like doing faction quests or talking to NPCs or like getting annoyed at Lashun.

[starkind]

Yeah, I have a million goofy alts. Including a troll (goes against my imteneral preferences). But she's got 75 or 80 base charisma.

I did used to play gnomes a lot when I was younger. And I want to get into another iksar, vah shir, or guktan larp. They are quite fun in concept!

Being able to wear robes is cool.

Wow is great cuz of all the transmogs.

Fashionquest is key to my enjoyment I guess.

[starkind]

Barbies are sorta annoying.

Humans ok.

Erudites I'm on the fence.

DE is legit lols and cool both male and females. Tho so sexist.


Uhm.. probably ogre and dwarf and halfling is the worst. Yikes.

[UrkTheSlayer]

Just another character in a story I’m never gonna write. I do get immersive mentally with some quests. Like when I’m going to bed I’ll see my character and the quest box’s talking but it’s way more vulgar and comedic.

[RevSaber]

I dont relate to my characters, but ive probably fapped to yours... HIE cleric mmmmmm.......

[Cecily]

Particularly on my rogue, to the extent that I get super uncomfortable with the wrong avatar, my characters are me. I used to play a wood elf dude on live and I remember being so jealous of the elven women. So that's all I played as here and there was never any elf body dysmorphia this time around.

[Pulgasari]

Halflings are happy-go-lucky and hospitable. Any one of them would readily give their life for a friend. They are renowned for their tomfoolery and humor, always appreciating a bit of fun.

They especially like to tease Erudites for their lack of wit.

high elfs are so hot in this game :cool::rolleyes:

[UrkTheSlayer]

“Yo so check this out, dark elves right- they got this weird fuckin’ ceremony where the royalty fucks a peasant, then they kill the peasant as the birth of the child is happening...and that’s where Lanys came from: the chosen of innoruuk, the jealous god of hate that taught them this sideways up ritual- and all of necromancy since were talking about it. If you think that’s totally bonkers, wait till you hear about this big tiddy btch firiona that’s worshiped on the covers of some game in another dimension: she’s the daughter of a some divine willowisp that wanted to use its vast immortal knowledge to know what it’s like to get laid: some borderline pedo shit right? So all this shit is ultimately the willowwisps gods fault, instead of intervening she just let in play out and now there’s a rift to kithcor to innoruuks plane of hate that’s totally fucking norrath up....oh yeah and Thule.. “

Then I fall asleep.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently but non of my toons are 50+ yet. I was thinking it would actually be better with trash gear at lvl 28 too but I havnt committed the effort to gimp it yet.

[UrkTheSlayer]

Those are honestly really really good for 1999 photoshop, better then what I remember seeing.

[Nocht]

Not gonna lie I tend to RP on my Iksar a lot. Like when I see a rock on a hot day I spend at least an hour sitting on it to raise my blood temperature.

Iksar are anthropomorphic lizards, and reproduce by egg-laying. They are bipedal. Iksar are covered in a resilient skin of imbricate (overlapping) scales. Likely of class Reptilia, order Squamata, they are also likely of the suborder Lacertilia. Distantly, they are related to Sarnak due to being their creators.

Of particular note, however, is that Iksar are endothermic (warm-blooded), not cold-blooded like most other lizard species. This must be inferred because of the production of heat by females during the reproductive cycle.

Dunno but I'ma call every iksar I meet an "egg layer" now. :cool:

[RecondoJoe]

On WoW I like to play Goblins because I feel like it fits my personality the most.. like I don't even have to roleplay, I can just run around being obnoxious..

[starkind]

Guktans my new fav race!

I can't even tell what gender Seyadinai is right now.

[Shourty]

Checked pole results and went with the left leaning choice system and voted for the one that appeared most popular.

[Jimjam]

When I play female characters i try to focus on upgrading:

Tier 1:
Shoes
Hats
Bags

Tier 2:
Dress/blouse&skirt
Jewellery and belt accessories

Tier 3:
Glitter/spells

Tier 4:
Other

If my character receives a ring as a quest reward i’ll rp the NPC is proposing.

When doing booze hand in quests to someone of importance I’ll RP it’s a date and I’m trying to manipulate them into liking me / influence them into doing my bidding.

Sorry Guard Wenbie, but Commander Trumpy is the only one for me. I must return your ring.

Clearly I know the female mind impeccably (!)

Never really understood halfling low charisma. Are they just overfriendly, overshare and over the top?

Most people can see through the jolly act and see a cutthroat burglar whose trying to entice comfort and complacency in their victims so they can rob them blind.

[Bhairava]

surpised at the poll results so far

i assumed p99ers would be ultra cynical 'character as tool for gathering loot' types

im pleased that there is a lot of role playing, even if not externally.

this does not exactly jive with the names ive seen tho. i have a hard time believing a guy who makes a barbarian shaman named 'slimjim snapinto' or something is actually role playing anything

[starkind]

Krystal Maeth is a great character name for a gnomish jewler.

[Bhairava]

it is

no offense, but i can tell

that is one gay ass looking frog

[starkind]

lol

[A Knight]

I voted Identify as character because there was not "Kinda identify as my character"

My first character I identified with. I was a dwarf paladin as an emo anime vagrant. Like probably most teenagers, I would break some boards, get my black belt and represent the dwarven paladins.

[OuterChimp]

If you play a character that is not of the race you are in real life then you are a racist and should be banned forever!

[UrkTheSlayer]

Atleast I’m not the only one that admits they’re a man who enjoys playing a lady character anymore.

umph

[unsunghero]

I was so excited to play P99 for the first time that I forgot you can change your character's face during character creation. So I was stuck with the default male high elf face

That happens to be a permanent frozen haughty-looking sneer, a look like someone would give if they thought they were better than everyone else. At first I was disappointed that's what face I am now stuck with, but tbh it fits me well

[Tunabros]

retochar

wtf?

[UrkTheSlayer]

What are you saying Joe, I think I need help putting my foil hat on the right way: I think I’m wearing it backwards.

I play barbarian because I have a twelve inch cock and like fucking feminine men up the ass
