10 annoying roleplay stereotypes

• 1. The nonsensical spazz:
• Let us start with the most common pester in any roleplay. Perhaps due to lack of intelligence or lack of effort the nonsensical spazz cannot write for shit and is always light-years away from being anywhere near in-character. They often describe themselves as “random” or “hyper”, which judging by their behavior merely means idiotic. If someone complains they ignore it or come up with an irrational excuse like "but this character is so quiet. I'm making them more interesting by being loud!"
• 2. Kawaii-chan desu:
• These can easily be recognized by their excessive use of smilies, particularly ^_^ and O.O. An even more distinctive sign is their use of Japanese words they believe to be cute, and their seemingly extreme disability to spell. Their immediate reaction whenever someone they know enters the board is to “glomp” them, which is apparently fangirl talk for “tackle”. Regardless of how much of an ass the character they attempt to roleplay is, they will twist them into a sugary fluffball. Commonly they’re actually too young to be on the RP site, or they’re someone who really needs to grow the fuck up =^o^= nyaaaa.
• 3. The Moemoe OC:
• These act very much like the kawaii-chans, but instead of attempting a canon character they go ahead and make their own. They tend to make this the lost relative of a character close to their favorite character for the sake of potential lovey-dovey romance. In most cases their characteristics do not in any way fit into the style of the series they force this blob of moe upon. The most ambitious ones will rewrite the whole fucking plot for the sake of making room for their character, and they believe the other roleplayers should accept this.
• 4. The Asslicker:
• Also associated with hypocrites. These suckers will hang out with the spazzes, but the moment an elitist walks in they’ll automatically switch sides and agree with absolutely all their criticism as if they’re not at fault themselves. Then the moment said elitist leaves the asslicker is known to proceed doing the kind of roleplay anyone with the slightest sense of character analysis would cringe at.
• 5. The Self-insert:
• In any fandom, regardless of whether a series has room for original characters to fit in or not, you’ll find these not-so-creative “roleplayers” thinking they’re so damn interesting that instead of carefully building up a character that fits into the universe, all they have to do is make it a copy of themselves. With better looks and occasionally animal ears and sparkles of course. These are usually disliked by most, but they never really seem to catch the hint.
• 6. The Rape-addict:
• This roleplayer doesn’t really give a crap about staying in-character. They merely want a chance to cyber, but of course they cannot refer to it as that, so they call it something like “smexy rp”. Their absolute favorite thing in the world is when their character gets raped. They do awful attempts at acting cute and vulnerable to achieve this. If their character happens to be too manly to be easily overpowered they genderbend and/or turn them into a child hoping everyone will pedo them.
• 7. The Godmod:
• This person doesn’t understand the unspoken rules, or they simply don’t care about them. They think they have the right to control anyone else’s character as well as their own. Regardless of the character’s limitation they believe they can do anything and appear anywhere to interfere with roleplays they’re not even welcome in. Of course they're offended if anyone tries to control their character in return.
• 8. The Elitist:
• The elitist will see about 90% of the other roleplayers as incompetent and they do not hesitate to point this out. In fact they often spend more time commenting on other people’s roleplays rather than roleplaying themselves. They’re pretty much dicks to anyone but their own little favored group. They judge you from the very moment you join the roleplay, and will often decide within a few seconds whether you’re “worthy” of their respect.
• 9. The I-don’t-give-a-fuck-anymore roleplayer:
• These don’t see much hope in getting a decent roleplay written and decide to just do whatever the hell they feel like. They can usually be found vaguely making fun of the rest, or talking about something completely unrelated to the topic. Their behavior will often be at the borderline of trolling.
• 10. The goodie-goodie:
• Finally we have what might be the least annoying addition to a roleplay group. They're often pretty good at writing, but they always appear friendly even to the ones who suck at it. Their wish is for everyone to get along, but in most cases that is just not going to happen.
• A/N: (Something I made quite a while ago after being fed up with iScribble roleplays. As for myself I'm probably somewhere between 8 and 9)
