RP Hooks for Anti-Social Characters

AKA How To Reel In Dem RPers with Tasty RP Bait.  If you also play a quiet, shy, or anti-social character, feel free to add your own hooks.

1) Have an injury. One that’s not so serious where your character looks foolish for not getting immediate medical attention, but also noticeable enough where someone with a healer-type or mother-hen character might want to strut on over and patch you up.

2) Turn on RP Flag and have notable things people can use for interaction in your Search Info - Put in your character’s noticeable scar. Put in the unusual artifact they’re carrying that would make all the mages in a half-mile radius go ‘wtf is WITH THAT AETHER HOLY SHITE’. Put the strange marking they have on their throat. Put in that half their horn is missing.  I personally haven’t done this yet, but I’ve had friends with anti-social characters report success stuffing notable details about their character or even the URL to their RPC wiki directly into their search info.  People walked up and commented on something they’d read like a necklace or physical attribute. If you dump in an RPC wiki, just make sure all of your RP hooks are easy for people to find. (Mine is actually a bad example because it’s one log slog :V)

3) Be chased or followed. If your character’s backstory lends to them being chased or followed, and they’re the kind of person who would react very noticeably - it could be a neat way to entice other people to get involved.  Bonus points if you’re willing to RP NPC henchfolks actually coming after you.

4) Mistaken identity. Confuse a random player for someone else, friend, foe, or even just a secret contact for a job. Maybe you’re supposed to meet someone at x-location, wearing y-item, to get something important.

5) Have a wing man. My alt, Leilani Leilai - is a bright, outgoing, cheerful character who wants nothing more than to hunt down potentially legendary adventurers and hear all of their amazing stories so she can turn them into epic ballads. Placing her right next to a quieter, more anti-social character gives us a ton of interaction material that makes it way, WAY easier for the anti-social character to get involved in RP. So grab your friend who plays their wacky social-butterfly character and ask them to be your wingman into RP.  (OR you can send me a message and I’ll jump onto Leilani Leilai if I’m free I SHALL BE YOUR WINGPOPOTO.)  A wing man is especially useful during RP events instead of trying to solicit walk-ups or going to a place like the Quicksand.

6) Look for help with [insert task here] - as quiet/shy/anti-social as your character might be, there are things they can’t do by themselves and need other people for.  Maybe have them look for a healer or alchemist to assist them in mending some sort of injury or illness that they can’t handle themselves.  Have them look for a smith that can fix their broken armor or blade.  Have them look for a temporary partner to go with them on a mercenary contract they realised will definitely need at least two people to accomplish and they’re willing to split half the profits.

‘ you remind me of mint. fresh, sharp, kind of cold, but in a nice way. i always knew there was a reason mint was my favorite. ’

Was this... a compliment?  Vaya wasn’t sure how else to take it, but he was hesitant to accept it.  Perhaps I shouldn’t read too much into it.

❝Er.. I’ll keep that in mind.❞  He stumbled over his words, struggling to hide the extent of how flustered he’d become.  His tail lashed in embarrassment-- mint is his favourite; he thinks I’m like mint.

[glacialsphere]

'It's not murder if they deserved it, right?'

❝No.. no, it’s still murder,❞ Vaya mused, a thoughtful expression on his face.  This wouldn’t be the first time he’d thought on the very topic, and he always reached the same conclusion.

❝But if they deserved it.. there shouldn’t be any need to justify the morality of it.  It speaks for itself.❞

         So, you felt the red sky with the same heavy heart.

“Don’t tell me you can’t handle a little sparring.” [no, he just knows better than to spar -you- bud]

The miqo’te flicks an ear in response, one corner of his lips pulling in a scowl.  As though reconsidering, he lets his eyes travel the au ra’s body– from the feet all the way up.  One good look, sizing up his potential opponent.  Practice training… a mock battle for the purpose of training.

Seriously?

❝I can handle sparring,❞ he grumbles, crossing his arms, the tip of his tail twitching.  ❝Somehow, it feels like you’re the one who can’t handle sparring.  Forgive my, er, hesitation– but what makes you think I’d even be a productive match for you?  Being realistic, I think you’re above my level, physically.❞
