I've seen people say their entire personality would be revealed in-RP. I guess they just can't think of anything? But personality is important, both to getting accepted and to RPing. I myself refer back to my character personality every time I write a post because my memory is that bad. But that's porbably just me.
Often on the first post I have several tabs open. one so I can see whatever posts have already been made, and one on my character sheet so I know what kind of personality they have. I may even have a few open to character sheets of people I am replying to. |

Yeah, I do the same thing. And end up clicking through all of the tabs trying to remember which is which. I used to write my reply straight onto the website, but I kept accidentally exiting out. On a somewhat related note, just curious, how do you guys do backstory? Do you plan it all out beforehand? How much do you share? Have you ever actually gotten to reveal a big secret you planned? I find backstory the hardest part of a character, and it drives me absolutely insane rewriting a backstory that nobody will ever even read over and over again. |

Hehehe. I do that too. If I have a backstory it is normally written in the middle of the roleplay and not at the beginning. I don't normally have too much of one. |

It's so difficult to think of a really good backstory. I've done it about about three times in my life. But then again, I've never had the chance to go in-depth with my character's backstory in-RP. |

I don't like backstories much as I always feel like they're that sob story where both the parents died, the character became depressed, and now their just some sort of outcast. I mean sure, that could've happened, but people can move on from things. I mean it depends on like how long ago it happened, but you can always make it more interesting by saying a best freind came in to help, maybe they started opening up more so they didn't take others company for granted, etc. For example, I have a boyo who's mother passed of cancer and who's father is in a nursing home, but that doesn't make him all sad and depressed, he's just soft-spoken and quiet but is socialable. Like come on, I feel like I see too many sob stories. |

At this point I've been trying to avoid immense sob stories when it comes to backstories for my OCs, because no one really sobs from them, lol. |
