Does Rp Affect You?

[Ereze]

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask this--
If you have roleplayed as a character for a while; has it affected you?
Like do you sometimes find yourself thinking, reacting and speaking like them?
Or does it affect you in some other way?
I say "Bloody void" and talk like Stormy all the time.​

 

[Bensonio]

My oldest character Valdimar's catchphrase was "By the gods!" and when I was annoyed irl I'd say that for a while. It was awkward

 

[krios41]

does rp affect you? of course it does when you ar realy into it, don't want to go into detail tough

 

[riso_graph]

Suppose you could say that I end up adopting their accents/speech.
With one character of mine's {Who is just an OC that I made that wasn't for Massive, but yeah, I'm going to use him as an example.},who happens to be Irish and tends to speak like this a lot. "Yer a feckin' funny one, ein't ye?", "What'che lookin' at?", "Jaysus" ,"What a load o' shite.", etc.
I tend to find myself speaking like them, there's been a few times where I almost said similar things in a similar way to this character of mine's and of course the same would go for all my other characters too. I like to try to make each one very different from the other, by giving them their own unique things such as accents and stuff.

 

[Speedl0rd]

When I get in to RP, I whisper what my character says under my breath. And if a character gets mad at my character, I feel sad XD

 

[Phon_Senajan]

I usually speak different language from my characters so I'm good. It affected my mind a bit but not that much.

 

[Blue_E]

Oh my goodness. I love playing Myrtle because she has the sweetest little personality and when I just go out and make peoples characters happy I just..

EEEEEEEEE!​

I start to get all ditzy and sweet in front of other people too. The other day I handed out candy canes for the fun of it.

 

[Thaurdaer]

Since I started playing my first character, I began getting healthier physically... I don't know if it's linked, but if it is...
I recommend playing a healthy character!

 

[UrsaMajor]

I find myself speaking like Windradyne on occasion when typing on Skype or switching to another character.

 

[Laach]

So getting angry for absolutely no reason at all is more than just a coincidence?

That would explain why my life has been feeling kinda off lately.

 

[Mattyb0y]

Well, my character that lasted the most but is now dead - Tuarwen, pretty much affected me.. A lot.
Even though some traits I shared with her, she affected me. I became more silent, kind of rude in a way. xD

 

[Annju]

My character's affect me in the sense I realize they're
all my babies. I tend to catch myself wondering what they'd
do in situations I'm in, sometimes that's speak overly intelligently,
*cough Geoffery cough*
or even just stare at the person or situation and hope it goes away before
anger and irritation sets too far in.
*cough Felix cough*
Then I kinda just laugh cause I can't quite do either, but its not so bad anymore.​

 

[Krolose]

There is near no difference between my dearest Krolose and I these days, which is concerning as over the past two and half years or so he's become a sinister (and rather unstable) old man, out numbering my own years by over thirty. Although I must say my evil laugh is far more common, the old man has the good sense to pretend to be merely disinterested as opposed to outright maniacal.

 

[Ryciera]

Ever since playing Piper, I'm super wary of pickpockets. I get uneasy if my wallet isn't against my body or in a hard-to-find place, and consistently think, "How easy would it be to pickpocket me right now?"
Mind you, pickpocketing isn't even a big problem where I am.

I catch myself typing or speaking like my characters, often.

Though I think more distinctly, I focus on my own mannerisms and behavior and let that affect my character. I focus on how I and others act and think about how my character can.

 

[Magivore]

I ended up hissing at someone, and also have picked up that when I lie, I slur speech and hiss even more.
It is not that it is awkward, it is the issue that I have sent people running and screaming away from me before.
Needless to say, whenever I make a deal or bet with someone, my friends call it the "Deal With The Devil".

 

[Omnomivore]

Speech and manner-wise, I feel relatively unaffected by roleplay. Sometimes I might think in the way that N'omiel speaks when I'm going to write stuff online, but that's as far as that goes. It's more of a habit caused from writing a particular way for a character over a long period of time.

Roleplay can effect me emotion-wise, however, which is why I tend to be selective about what character I'm playing.

For example:

Aria Tezari: She was my original character who I had grown heavily attached to. The main reason I decided to kill her off was because roleplaying her had lost its spark; so much had happened to her, and to her family, that I just felt depressed playing her.

Selena Sictor: I have an emotional disconnect with this character, because of a couple reasons. I know how she thinks, and operates, and if I can manage to tap into her emotional side it's enjoyable to roleplay as her. Part of her character traits, however, is that she has a very difficult time trusting and letting in anyone that can see this side of her. She's cold to most people by default, and as such has made no friends. This is the main reason I struggle to roleplay my noble character, because I lack this emotional connect a majority of the time.

Morty Faye: I don't roleplay him much, for similar reasons to why I removed Aria Tezari. He is her twin, and he shares a portion of her extensive backstory (his backstory is approximately 55 paragraphs long). I have kept him, however, as he can be enjoyable to play and because I put so much effort into his application and history. I have to be feeling in a good mood to play him, however, otherwise I may start to feel a little down.

N'omiel M'triche: Initially made as a joke, I wound up creating an app for her and she rapidly became my main character. She's so fun, happy, and cheerful that I just get a great enjoyment out of playing her. She often winds up in situations that can bring a smile to my face, but she also has the necessary backstory to tone the mood down if need be. I have been playing her practically non-stop because this character is just so good at lifting my spirits, which have certainly been taking a beating the past couple months irl.

Mannerisms and behavior? Not so much. Emotions? Definitely.

 

[da_CamelQueen]

Let's just say I've gained the Temper of a Certain mage, and her witty comebacks. and I have actually fought the style spish has once.
It sent the guy to hospital, not saying that's a good thing, but f*** Keep wary of spish ._.

 

[TheFinitePeach]

All my chars (exlcuding the one initially made as a joke) are evil Russians(Jorrhildr)... Lets just say it doesn't take much of a stretch to play as them...

 

[Johto_Jo]

Runi's essentially me, so I make decisions IC as I would OOC; however, I was getting heckled the other day by a group of men walking along the railroad tracks and they kept calling out to me, using derogatory names. I almost snapped back with something offensive and 'New Ceardian,' but I quickly realized I wasn't a stout, confident redhead with a pegleg. Good thing, too. I'm not entirely sure what they would've done x'3

I'm not so much influenced by my characters as much as I am by the community. I like to think that I've grown into a very patient and fairly understanding individual due to the experiences I've had with others on MassiveCraft :'3

This has happened to me too, except, Felix gets her sass from me, not the other way around...
So I may or may not have stared them down till they were uncomfortable, turned
sharply on my heel and trotted off after they apologized...​

 

[Lizmun]

Roleplay affects me quite a bit, mostly actions, speech, attitude and sometimes (albeit rarely) thought processes and decision tree. I usually reflect the personality of the character I played last. Like if I play Abigail, I tend to be a lot kinder and generally sweeter towards others, a bit more timid, jumpy, and sometimes write with her hand writing ( once accidentally wrote her name on a paper instead of mine. Oops)
Or with William, tend to become more hostile, paranoid, study a lot etc.
Or if I play Sheldon, I tend to avoid bright lights, become rather hyper, run a lot, speak overly fast
Yeah affects me.a lot

 

[LadyTeddington]

Every time I try to just type or something, or even play as a different character to Astrid; I always accidentally type it out with a stutter ;^;

 

[HereticTakao]

When I play Di'aree I get in a high pitched voice and before I enter I message in, I Di'aree Style proof read it.

 

[Thaurdaer]

Playing Jack for as long as I have, I've most certainly become more of a fighter.
To further support this, I threw some practise punches [because I can] and my fists collided. I now have a large bruise on one hand, and two swollen fingers on the other.
Roleplay has affected me a lot.

Quite the opposite, my character has been affected by me... Its almost as if I control my character... /But that's impossible!/

 

[1002713Alex]

Roleplay affects me by making me spend time roleplaying. Enough said.

 

[Mattium_]

Oddly enough, there was a time during my Taylon Bastian character, where I began to speak a lot "posher" (lack of a better term), and my vocabulary changed a lot.
MassiveCraft has actually played a huge role in the way I speak, especially Team-speak.
So yeah, it's affected me in some way.

 

[indyfan98]

Well, while not RP related, I once said "Have a Massive day" to my friend before. Felt stupid afterwards.

 

[Duskembyr]

The farthest it goes is when I'm playing Massivecraft. Not only do I sometimes call my faction members "sir" or repeat the word "quite" a lot, but I get absolutely terrified whenever Ta'bitha gets into danger. My heart pounds and everything. But I'm really too different from my character to think like her outside of massive.

 

[Shawn]

I wish I could be like Zein... then I can burn all of the annoying and evil people in this woooorld...

I start to feel sick whenever Stormy gets into tight situations. Im really tied to her, and would probably mourn her like a real person if she died.

 

[babaMP3]

im more of an old woman than i ever have or will be

 

[Deleted member 8822]

Hehe... well considering my alt char is a drunkard, I don't think that affects my daily life. But my main char is totally different, with me pouring my heart and soul into her. I tense up though whenever something bad happens to both of them. I've also learned a ton more medieval slang though, and I feel that I could do a sailor's accent much better as well, so there's that.

I do this alot too whenever I think like, my vampire's gonna get figured out or anything.

Also I have a habit of saying "Bloody void." as well. >_>

I think Alea has mainly gotten me to say bloody alot, honestly. I don't really act like any of my characters, though when I get realllly into Lavon's character I get confused because of how like, evil I'm acting.

 

[Greenie]

When I started playing my main, Mazza Greenleaf, I didn't expect to become to emotionally attached to the character. He's the exact opposite to me (Him being a snooby stuck-up Ahole most of the time and me being a nice spoopy guy all the time) and I really like that about him. It's like playing the me I could of been, well don't want to be. I've become so attached to him that I thought what would happen if I killed him off, I cried for a bit.

Pretty much the same with my character~

 

[1000phoenix]

I noticed i get lost in thought constantly about the plot line and direction i want my characters to take. I do notice how ever when I rped an aggressive character I became more aggressive IRL and when I started rping less aggressive characters I started reverting to my more passive state. I have since corrected this though since I noticed it though.

This. So much this. Along with the fact that my character's survival rate and application approval rate are extremely low, forces me to roleplay with him in seclusion most of the time.

I couldn't have picked a worse character to grow attached to.

 

[Neon_57]

While most of my characters I share no traits withh (Archblade, Nayru, Aka-Ahi. Becuase they are criminals who blow stuff up xD) I would say that I do have to characters I share the most with.

My first character Ryo Takato was similar to me in many ways the way he acted, bought about people, the way he handled a situation.

And my most recent main character Blayke Xianpou. Who might aswell be me characteristic wise, the backstorys couldn't be further off Im Noo survivalist irl. But he way Blayke thinks of people, handles situations, talks. Its basically just me.

The only thing I constantly do that I didnt until I Roleplayed as Blayke is I find myself typing " Te' " instead of the. " Ye " instead of Ya or you. And I find myself talking like that irl when I've Roleplayed as him for to long that day.

 

[Silent_Ruler]

I adopted my characters personality,
I adopted other characters mannerisms,
and I adopted @Luthien 's form of speech.

Oh, and Freya Lo's "Feh"'s.

I dont think I should grow that attached to characters. My social life went weird and feh. I still love role-play though. These sentences are too short and non-formal.
