    Text Roleplaying

    Maybe it's not clear in the top there. :3 I don't know if this has been done before

    This is something Donovan and I do very often.

    We create a story together, two characters and role play them. For one (and only one) we've created a whole world called Helios and two characters named Dual (his) and Alexis (mine) we text role-play their first meeting, first fight, first everything and it's fun to see how Donovan's imagination runs. We take turns leading, if he has an idea for Alexis and Dual's first kiss he'll start it off and I'll just reply (this takes place on msn) how my character would react to the surroundings or how Dual acts.

    I like to draw so I draw Alexis and Dual together often on my deviantart page. And Donovan likes to write (-ish) so he writes stories about both of them. He feels very happy whenever I draw or write something new about them because it's something we worked together on (plus it's like a present). My profile pic and Avatar shows a picture of Alexis because I'm too damn shy to put my own face there XD

    Text roleplaying is fun and it takes up quite a bit of time so when you're bored and have nothing to do, try this. Be warned, it can be quite addictive, but super fun! Let your imaginations run wild!

    This is how my boyfriend and I met! I started my own Text RP forum because I didn't like what was out there at the time (This was like 5 years ago now.) I actually started it with my Ex boyfriend because he had similar feelings. In December of 2008, my present boyfriend joined. We didn't start RPs together until probably Feb of 2009, when he made a new character, Leon. Leon, became the PA to my character; a Political Emissary named Rosaline. This is what gave us a reason to socialize and plot. Both characters are very cold and have a hard time forming emotional connections with others for whatever reasons (They're vampires, what do you expect? *nerd*) but damn could they fight. It just flowed so well with him. I sometimes tease that I fell for Leon first. Their arguing chemistry turned into sexual tension...and eventually they had an affair. This all seemed to happen somewhat in sync Out of Character. We fought really hard against feelings for eachother, we faced a love triangle, etc.

    We're still running the forum together, and Roz and Leon are STILL in denial, but they're huge in each others lives. We haven't decided if they'll be lovers, or if we'll keep the tension that they always have. Its still a work in progress that we're both very proud of.

    I don't know if I could ever do it again, though. It worked SO well. I absolutely love writing and feel like this is a good outlet. Sometimes you can express something "in character" that just doesn't seem to feel right OOC.

    Other times, there's just an absolute thrill in creating something with your SO. "Plotting" together is often a huge bonding time which we end up feeling productive about. It often seems very nerdy, but like I said, it gives us an opportunity to work, create, and even bond over these make believe people.

      Actually, the The Boy and I do this! We have these bad ass alter egos and we make up stories for them. But we're both comic book geeks so it kinda fits in with that. We keep saying we should put this down on paper and pitch it as a series.


      When we love, it isn't because the person's perfect, it's because we learn to see an imperfect person perfectly.

      True love does not worry about the distance between, for the heart and soul travels through one's words

      When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, and no one can ever tear them apart.

      1 universe, 9 planets, 7 continents, 194 countries, 50 states and 10 provinces...and I had the privilege to meet you.

        I also met my SO via a text RPG site, he was running the site at the time and it was based off the manga/anime Bleach and although we never RPed together there we do occasionally RP in an email whenever we get bored. ^^

          This is a great idea!! I never thought of trying it, but I think I'll pitch it to my SO and see what he thinks.

            We've done this before! Only, it was kind of on accident, and it had a very ...ahem... adult plot. But I never thought to actually write a story that way!

            Fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try it.

              My boyfriend and I do RP this way but it's very different from the manner in which I'll RP with my friends. When I RP with my friends it's in that "storylike" way, where it picks up from where we last left off, it actually reads like a novel, has some semblance of plot and structure to it, etc. But when I RP with my boyfriend it's pure sillyness and yeah, naughty stuffs. We do have our two set characters that are at the same time representations of ourselves while not being ourselves at all that we use, but it never really turns into any type of actual story.

                we're still oursevles but we do it like were just meeting .
                he pretends he walks up to me at the mall or something and trys to start a conversation .
                eventually we play out how he gets my number , our first date our first kiss. more phone calls.
                stuff like that, but were acting as us before we met eachother and its over the phone , we talk out the story .

                      We do this a lot. We both use to be RP on forums or in chats.

                      Sometimes it's fun RP between two characters, and other times... yeaah, we're not following a storyline.

                          My SO and I love roleplaying but through phone for fun. It's really nice to pretend into another person make up your own story! Sometimes we get a little naughty but it's still fun. Sadly, we can't do this over the phone anymore since he moved farther from me. But I would love to try this though chat.
