If you've ever gone to a meeting, chances our the first thing your meeting group does is the "Ice Breaker". It's a passively forceful way of bringing people together and forcing them to introduce themselves so everyone is more comfortable with each other. It's also a great way to introduce yourself to the staff you haven't met or will not meet due to schedules. This way, everyone kinda knows each other. For this Ice Breaker, just say stuff about yourself as a roleplayer, a writer, and/or a reader. You can also write down other things, if you wish. I will be the example. I am sensitive guy who likes getting suckered into romances, be it played for drama or comedy. It is difficult for me to write serious and dark genres, because I believe that everyone has a life that is filled with happiness in some shape or form. "Empathy" and "Sympathy" are my tag lines. My favorite kind of character is one who has lost love (of any kind) and is trying to find it again. Or never had it and is trying it to obtain it. These base traits plus anything else works wonders into my heart. I think it's because this happens to us all of the time. Hmm... but when I write characters this way, are they not serious and dark in themselves? I don't read other stories too much because I often feel that I must analyze and steal what they made work for my own works. It is almost a corruption that I do not like whatsoever, so reading other peoples' works makes me feel like a bad person. However, a true professional will always read other material and wonder if they can make it work, too. So yes, I am being a hypocrite of varying degrees. Roleplaying... I usually have a female character because "there aren't enough girls in this story!" is what you may often find me saying. Either gender is fine for me and I have enough experience and confidence to say that I can roleplay almost any kind of character. I do NOT like plot-based roleplays. Character-based roleplays have really touched me, because if the characters that we make are not any good, why read a story? This also explains why I have no participated in any RPs here, yet. I can do text roleplaying, but paradoxically I cannot act for the life of me.
