I have a massive favor to ask all of you. Please take just two minutes out of your busy days to do this. I’m asking for honesty, and for your empathy.
If you have ever, in your entire roleplaying career, been intimidated to go up to someone to ask for a roleplay, please...
I have problems with roleplays. I had problems when I started to roleplay. I can’t just “jump in” like everyone else. And anyone I told shows very little to no sympathy over it. It really sucks because I can only roleplay if I’m at the start. I can’t simply “learn the backstory” and just hop in as if I was there. That’s impossible for me.
I can’t start very well and sudden bursts of text walls are rare for me unless I heavily describe. Responses with characters speaking are unnaturally short.
