Revealing Roleplayers By Smurfy

In this segment, we will be interviewing roleplayers at random. This is a way to get to know the roleplay community, find out what makes them tick, and delve a little into the raw meat of what makes roleplay special to them. 

For this interview, we will be delving into the mind of none other than the corgi girl herself- Detta.

THE INTERVIEW

Smurfy: 

How long have you been roleplaying?

Detta: 

I feel old with this question. I started when I was eleven, good ol’ AOL Chatrooms were good for something! Who knew it’d lead me down this path. So almost fifteen years. 

Smurfy: 

What’s your favorite Genre?

Detta: 

 Honestly, I’ve not yet found one that I don’t like. However, picking one thing from a Genre would have to be Star Trek. Great show, chaotic to rp. 

Smurfy:

What’s your favorite storyline you’ve ever done?

Detta: 

Honestly, I have been around for too long, with too many great writers to have just one favorite storyline. It feels like a disservice to those that I’ve played without throughout my ‘career’ to just choose one. 

Smurfy:

What makes a good roleplay partner?

Detta: 

 Ooooh lordie, this is hard. Honestly, there are a number of things that I find to be good, but sites like ReVo, are relatively new to me. I’ve only been here like maybe a year, I came from a whole different series of places that I’ve played, and the things there, do not seem to be the same valued things here, if that makes sense. In my long ‘career’, I’ve liked, and favored, someone who can write more than a sentence or two. I know there are people out there who can write and do like and enjoy writing one liners, as they’re called, but for me, it seems inadequate. There is no content, nothing to really grab my attention and make me feel the character or the scene. I personally like the details you can put into a scene. Telling me something as trivial as they the character is biting their nails nervously, makes me question, why’re they nervous? So it creates this whole additional rabbit hole of curiosity based on the character and the scene, and it can really bring out so many amazing things. 

Smurfy:

If you could bring any character back from the dead, who would it be and why?

Detta: 

Honestly, I don’t know. Players out of retirement, would be more apt, there are a ton. Like my husband…

Smurfy:

The most important question to a roleplayer of course… Who is your all-time favorite character you’ve ever played, or watched someone else play?

Detta: 

Again, too many favorites, however, my favorite to ever play and watch someone play was… Pain. A character of my husbands who was twisted and would do the most horrible things, and got off on it. I can still think back to some of the scenes that he wrote, that I read, and shudder. They say everyone in this world has a place in their mind, a truly dark and evil place where the worst of us hides, and this is where he holds Pain… it’s truly beautiful in a frightening way, and now I sound coo coo for cocoa puffs.
