John Stamos

Viggo Mortensen

I'm still thinking Stamos was the best call so far.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to single anyone out.

I put this out there, becuase in the name of RPing and getting to know the other people in the game, this is a good way to express to the people you play with "Hey, this is the impression I got of your character".

If they don't like it, they can do things in the RP to change that impression. if they like it, then they're on the right track with where they want to go with the character.

One of the things i love about the community here in UO, is the RP goes to the bone. It is part and parcel of who the characters are. People aren't judged on how gimp thier build is, or how crap thier gear is in the ARPC. We judge each other for how well they RP, how well they personify that character, how they come across, how true they are to what they were yesterday, or last week, or a month ago.

Making a cool name, or having the right color hair, or really neat looking costuming on the character are all superficial things. Yes, they can stand out and be a big detractor, but the character is the thing.

In other RP communities I've played in, in other MMO's, you could toss down a "name your character's theme song" post or "cast MMO - The Movie" posts, and people would go crazy. Personally, i love it when people break the rules, and go over the constraints, becuase it means they are thinking. Thinking about thier character, thinking about other people's characters, thinking about the interaction.

Unscripted RP is the best kind - IMHO, but that doesn't mean you can't go into a situation already knowing what your character thinks, how they feel about certain subjects, thier attitude and prejudices against other people....

It puts meat on the bones, and makes them more real. More Real Characters = Better Interaction and Better RP.

And that's what we're all about in the ARPC, right?

A perfect example is Dealthagar and Cal Hurst. The two players have been on opposite sides of major conflicts forever. My earliest posts on this board denote the hostilities and baiting between Vaen and Dealth over Yew. Nowadays it's all about "stolen cloning materials" and the EVIL that is the Order. There's gonna be hostility, and banter beteen these guys, because they ae the antithisis of each other.

OOC, if i ever run into Cal IRL, I'm buying him a shot and a beer, becuase there are few foes I have had as much fun mentally sparring with as I have him. He's the sort of guy I would help move into his new apartment or house. (Ask Solonacae how big a deal that is to me)

Good consistant deep roleplay. It's what makes this game and this community so different.

NOW DO YOUR TEN!

Nope. I do not know 10 chars that are not mine well enough to assign them to actors.
Closest I got was choosing an entire cast for Blackmarsh.
And yes I am also Edda and Yuna.
