RE: Designing for Mobile
I mean at this point I would settle for "Mukluk with more than a single infinite-horizontal-scroll row input area; it would still suck ass, because it'd be Mukluk, but at least the input area would be less frustrating"

At least Mukluk can stay connected indefinitely (assuming your connection cooperates)

" But I was also born without whatever lobe of the human brain causes "ah, jeez, am I staying true to Previous-Player's vision?" anxiety.
That's basically what's keeping me away from playing Roster Characters. I get hella anxiety when it comes to things like managing other people's NPCs or playing roster characters that have been played before.
I will say that Arx has rules against people trying to make you play a certain way. If you do pick up a roster and someone tries paging you all 'omg the last player wasn't like that' you can kindly tell them to fuck off.
More than having rules against it, I've also never had the experience of anyone even trying. My first PC, Ronja, had a small family (parents, basically) and they were both overjoyed to have someone step into the role, even a total stranger, and were incredibly welcoming and supportive. My second PC, Ember, is the head of a house and the experience was much the same, as both people who were under her and people who are above her were like "hey, can we help you get situated, do you need any IC history info," and so on.

RE: If you work hard, son, maybe someday you'll RP
Gen is a 22-year-old woman with tan skin and long brown (with blonde highlights) hair whose natural waviness is given heft and frizz by the humid climate. She has a long face with high cheekbones, a wide and expressive mouth, a gentle hawkishness to her nose, and large eyes ringed with an extra dose of dark make-up as an effective way to cover up the constant raccoon-eyes of sleep deprivation. She has a bad habit of holding the top end of her tongue barbell between her teeth. She smokes Camel Regulars.
Gen dresses like the postmodern dream-girl of every wannabe music journalist: low-rise hip-huggers in denim or pleather, scuffy Doc Martens, animal-print fake-fur coats with collars and lapels big enough to alter the silhouette of her shoulders, and a range of tops (spaghetti-strap tanks, long-sleevers that go sheer in the right light, band shirts for hip muso picks, and fitted baby tees printed with possibly-ironic logos for stuff like Japanese steakhouses or Tibetan independence) that universally bare a flat-but-soft midriff and a pierced navel.
It was like a license to unleash my inner SPIN Magazine.

ps my secret shame is that when I play short characters I'm dumb about it. I'm like LOOK HOW TINY THIS PERSON IS. HOW DO THEY LIVE. It boggles the mind. Short people, what do?
I have decided to just lean into Katarina being some kind of 5'1" mogwai

@reversed APPARENTLY
I think I lost my temper at the time because my universe cannot comprehend Lovecraft being so important and life-changing a topic that people have to pull out that word without employing a moment's empathy toward who may be in the room and may feel hurt hearing it in what they may hope is a safe space. BUT NOPE GOTTA VOMIT SEMANTIC FACT, IT IS THE NERDY WAY >:|
I mean, I can only speak for myself, but I think losing one's temper is justified -- people don't get N-Words in Paris passes just because "it's the NAME of the song, CHILL," or whatever.

@Kaiju What's MC in this context?
Media Character was Empire State Heroes's term for Feature Characters.

(seriously, something is up with WoD players and a love of New England)
Lovecraft.
Also, Salem witches.
In the WoD plots I was running recently, I did my best to include POC characters -- the plots were mostly set in Mexico, so obviously there were a lot of Mexican nationals, but also just... anything I could think of that fit and WASN'T a standard-issue WoD-type character. I didn't set out to go "okay, this plot needs a black woman," but when coming up with the NPC background stuff I did say "okay, what if this NPC joined up with the other ones in Atlanta while they were going cross-country, so why not make the Atlanta NPC a black woman..." and so on.
I'm not going to act like some kind of genius or savior or anything, but at the very least it was more fun to try and reflect a lot of different experiences and voices in my plots' NPCs than just another group of dickhead white vampires.

So, most of my characters remain bi and I just gravitate to whoever's RP I like best
