About
A veteran role player, writer, artist, community leader and a genuinely good guy with just as many merits as any other human being, and probably twice as many flaws. I can spend hours upon hours designing stuff, writing backgrounds, thinking up plots, or just hanging out with the very few people I hold dear.
Quick to make acquaintances but slow to trust. What else do you want to know? Ask me in game!
Approach
I like to make friends and to be nice to people! I don't always manage, nobody's perfect. Trust me, I tried! Anyway, I made this page so that there is more room in character descriptions for actual relevant stuff than writing the same five lines at the top, neither of which will cover every subject on what I find important nor will it be always relevant to everybody who wants to read a character of mine. This here is a work in progress so take your time to read what-ever interests you, hit me up in-game if you have a question, or just go ahead and play with me!
Behaving Well
I have a major article on this one under http://kymlun.com/rules but here's the short version for those who do not like to dig through a whole discussion typed out in 12pt text.
- Behaving Well(BW) is an approach to conducting oneself pleasantly. This version of BW refers strictly to an online environment, but with some measure of thought it can easily be translated into any social environment be that real life or otherwise.
1. Respect
Undoubtedly the most important part of any manner of personal conduct. I do my best to follow this principle. Sometimes I fall short because I can have my moods and end up breaking my own rule, and be ashamed of myself. But more often than not, I'll remember this and do my best to be a good example.
1.a. Respect yourself
Do not behave in ways that you do not want to get from others. A little kindness goes a long way, a grin is easy even when you're grinding your teeth, and most importantly do not take it out on others who had nothing to do with it.
Saying the truth is the number one most important part of respecting yourself. Do not catch yourself being dishonest. It's bad for you.
1.b. Respect others
Kindness, and being generous, are something I'm doing my best to practice. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes not so much.
Do not DO something to another person. Attempting to lift somebody from the ground sounds so much better in an emote than outright claiming you do and ending up denied.
Remember this! IMPORTANT! - You are the #1 person responsible for your character, you decide what happens to it, but also others decide what happens to theirs. The only exception to this are scenarios with game masters but that does not apply to Champions Online.
2. Do not hate: appreciate.
2.a. If you don't like it, stop doing it.
2.b. If it doesn't work, don't force it.
3. Log off.
Personal Conduct: IC
What happens IC, stays IC. I'm old enough to know the difference between IC and OOC - then again it might not just be a matter of age, there is the experience behind it as well. This has always been a sensitive subject and a source for crazy lots of conflict so I figured I'd open a special section for this one. I'll stick to my personal disclaimer that I do not claim to be the end-all source of knowledge to role play, acting, characterisation or writing and narratives - but my point of view has helped me and others. Here's to sharing!
IC taken for OOC
It has happened before and probably will happen again that a not-so-friendly character of mine will offend somebody OOC through how they behave IC - I'm sorry if that happens but this is role play.
Every-one will need to understand that the above principles of behaving well in an online environment, or nearing the above, is somewhat mandatory else you'll find yourself in conflict that you lose the moment you enter it. Both sides lose it because you're no longer having fun and it will inevitably turn into an e-nis measuring contest.
Alternatively there are those who think that I'm my character and start to send me tells one way or another about something they want to take to a personal level. This is one of the major reasons why I avoid ERP.
ERP
Simply not for me, sorry. Not to say I shy away from mature rp, or that I have never done it and not to say that I'm sinless or ascetic. I actually have my mrp preferences. I'm simply here to have fun and my fun does not involve typing out such scenes. I do in fact prefer mature rp with mature players but this does not need to involve intercourse - or it can just fade to black.
Here is why. This is complicated, but I really need to love the other person for anything of the sort to work for me. I'm not going to elaborate, pretty sure if you're interested about this point of view of mine you'll just ask me in-game.
MRP
Refers to scenes regarding 18+ content be that violence, suggestive themes or anything else known to fit the M-Rating. I'm game for most things
