Some people create their characters with amnesia you complaining about them?
No - I'm not.
>>> "80% of the people I met in character - after have a good few week's rping <<<<
I
specifically talked about people who I've
met already- with the pretense that they had not had amnesia yet.
However- their characters become suddenly stricken, and more then once. Sometimes up to
8 different times in the same character and to such degrees that it puts eveyrone elses roleplay on hold over and over again- cause their idea to repetively "lose their minds" screws up everything else around them, and to ignore their plight would be out of character for the rest of us.
It's like if a player throws their character into constant danger, and so eveyrone else who cares about the story or them, has to drop everything else going on to save them- over and over and over and over...
- if you think I'm complaining about amnesia
origins stories- Look at mine!
My character has a blip in her history she doens't quite remember, BUT that's not the most important thing about her- it's a small small peice. And doesn't bother her very much. She doens't go around in a daze complaiing about her fuzzy memory. Not many people know about it, and most never will!
It's not a constant hickup, and it's not forced to be the center of attention all the time when I play, it's simply part of her history and is the driving force behind a
few of her motives..
Basically it's just something to spring board off of- I'm letting the roleplay itself dictate the rest.
In fact if she never quite remembers what happened- that
doesn't mean the end of the world, and other people don't have to help her with it either. Nobody has to suddenly drop what their doing because my character suddenly forgets everybody for the 18th time.
Creating sudden twists like this is nice- but if it's the SAME one, for the same person! So much so- that it screws up whatever else is going on plotwise for other people- yes- I find that down right annoying. It's disruptive in it's own way, and it disrespectful to other roleplayers who would like to see thier own stories have some progression.
