so I've recently ground to a halt on the ol' rp side of things. As in I've just been sitting around in events not actually participating and just running around Regalia. I seriously want to stop this as soon as possible so I can start roleplaying actively again.
Now I know it's my characters, the fact that they either make zero sense or that I just, don't enjoy playing as them
I am going to start taking inspiration and using my free time to think rather than play but, what else..
Lets break my problems down.
1) My race choices.
So I've always had this huge problem picking a race/species to play as in video games and the likes. I normally go with wackier races, if I can cat people are a big yes (not because i'm a furry but because they always have the best racial backgrounds) or goblins, and in that rare occasion the game is flipping amazing, undead/skeletons.
Now on massive I primarily try Ailor or human subspecies, a couple of the odd magus, and some gorr. But, I seem to be picking ones I don't enjoy. Orcs, bland, I don't enjoy their, mentality as a race.. the human races are pretty much standard and I don't enjoy (although wulong seem cool but I've never, clicked with them, I also need a lot more info on them in some areas) the magus races just don't intrest me at all.. Now I know your race doesn't dictate personality, in most cases anyway but it does dictate the way others perceive you. And since the majority of people are ailor or Nelfin these days, you usually tend to get the odd looks or the sneers. I want help deciding on a good race to play.. (skin ideas are also helpful for some of the more difficult to skin races) but I don't want to be, Url, or Orc, or like chien or songaskian because I don't connect with their races feelings.
2) My personality
Ok, this is short and sweet. I find I cant make a fitting personality, I tend to fall into grey areas depending on my IRL mood instead of my characters mood, so sometimes my chars can be super sad because I am sad.. I pretty much need help on, archtype listing and, help creating a good three dimensional being.
I find it hard to group much else.. But I feel a great deal of things aren't going right in roleplay and I really want a nice, kind helping hand..
If anyone has any suggestions please tell me, even basic character plots would be good.
I don't mind you telling me how wrong my characters are rn, and how they can become better, just take it easy on the whole, this is wrong basis.
