Oh boy, here we go.

I'm not very specific with my taste for RPs. Here on the Sandbox, I'm currently in both political and non-political RPs (Harold's Tamriel Total War and Alador's Epoch of Murk, respectively), although I do tend to go for non-political.

As for slice of life things, I'm not a fan. Give me intrigue, wars, epic quests, assassinations. That's the kind of stuff I like.

As for settings, I'm not very picky. High fantasy, dystopian, steampunk, anything goes. As for non-fantasy settings, I'm a big fan of most science fiction genres and variants; futuristic, retro, cyberpunk, even gothic science fantasy (i.e. Warhammer 40k).

I don't really care about how large-scale the environment is. Small or large, I'll take it either way.

I'm fine with most things other RPers do, as long as they don't make it ridiculous. I've had some experience with people trying to kill and resurrect their character twice, transfer the powers of their character onto aliens who shouldn't even be able to have such powers, and even introduce equipment from different universes. Luckily, that kind of stuff doesn't really happen here.

Whether or not someone can break canon depends on the RP, I guess. If the entire point of an RP is to play out what would happen if some event went different, then I'm cool with it. Otherwise, I think canon should be respected.

Although I like interaction, I'm instinctively drawn to writing detailed action scenes. Describing how my characters impale someone, then proceed to pull out their opponent's intestines and strangle them with it, that's what I'm best at. I'm fine with sexual relations, as long as the writers are capable of doing it right instead of making it an immature wet dream.

Well, I'll be honest, I don't have the right to complain about inconsistent posting, because I do it myself :3

Planning interactions kind of take away from the very essence of RPing, I think. Of course, basic things could be planned, such as deciding whether or not your characters form a relationship, but making it specific takes away the entire fun. Once again, I've had experience with people doing this kind of shit, and it's horrible.

Control depends on the RP, I guess. Linear stories, especially dungeon crawlers, require a controlling GM, while free RPs can possibly do without a GM at all.
