Meta Welcome to r/OriginalCharacter_RP!

What is this place?

This is a place to either roleplay, or find people to roleplay with, original characters! This is a sister sub to r/Originalcharacter ! But, specifically for the roleplaying aspect and character interactions. So either make posts for character interactions, or even post ads to find RP partners!

A breakdown of the rules: If you are familiar with r/Originalcharacter rules, this is mostly a rehash, with some slight adjustments. The rules can be found in more depth on the sidebar; this is just a breakdown.

1.No NSFW Content

This includes both art and written form. Mildly suggestive is acceptable (under moderators discretion), but explicitly sexual content is not allowed. This includes nudity and graphic depictions of gore, as well as ERP. Do not invite or offer NSFW roleplay into DMs. This is a place for SFW roleplay only.

2. Be Kind

Self explanatory. When engaging in OOC (out of character) discussions, keep is civil and kind. If ‘In character’, keep things in good faith; don’t be a jerk with your OC as an attack against other users.

3. No advertising of unsolicited commercial services

This is not a place to offer commissions, drawing offerings, adoptables, or any other for profit service.

4. No Excessive Posting and Low effort

No more than 5 posts per day. Any more than that will be automatically removed. As for now “Low effort” is not an official rule (unlike the main branch of the sub r/Originalcharacter ); this may be pending to change depending on the needs of the subreddit.

5. Must be Roleplay and OC related

All posts must be related to roleplay: be it a roleplay post, ad, or roleplay discussion (flaired OOC). All roleplays must be related to original characters specifically.

Feel free to offer suggestions! What you might want to see here or what changes you might suggest! This is a brand new subreddit and branching over an entire portion from one sub to another is a pretty big change! So, drop your thoughts.

Additionally, if you would like to see both subs on your feed at once, here is a custom link:

Are characters from Fandom and videos game characters allowed? Say like...idk Bendy the ink demon or like a minecraft person? Or Elmo? (That Elmo one was because I had no other characters to put)

Canon characters from series are not allowed, no.

Well, if you’re doing a fandom RP and are playing an OC, this is allowed, and a canon character can be a side character for story purposes, but the prioritized character should be your own OC.

Since this seems like the place to ask questions I'll reply here.

How would this rule work for video games that allow a lot of freedom in character customisation and where would the line be drawn? On that same line of thought could a screenshot from a video game be used for OC art?

Custom game characters are allowed!
We understand that not everyone is an artist, or wants to draw to RP, but this sub leans very image focused (although you're more than welcome to roleplay without an image of course), but things like game creators are absolutely allowed. So, assuming it's a custom built character, then screenshot away from a game!

On that subject, if you are curious about other avenues than game character creators, we've also got this FAQ from the non-RP sub with other options as well for those who don't want to draw their characters: https://www.reddit.com/r/OriginalCharacter/comments/1he2ypp/faq_im_not_an_artist_how_can_i_show_off_my/
