The Cliches of Rp

[The Divine Potato]

A bit of a clan/organization cliche is that they wish to stop all fighting in amongst other clans and help the weak rpers, jus found this whilst looking back a few pages.

I am completely okay w/ zombies as a cliche because they were pretty much the first RP subject ever

I use them because they can make a boring situation interesting fast.

"You can't kill me, because I'm already dead."

"You can't kill me, because I'm already dead."

That really annoys me.

Right this is where you post things that you find to have come up so many times that they seem dis interesting now or just things that happen a whole lot.

Character cliches:

Eight foot or higher Mark Is Actually Only 5'2

Older than normal human age, and predating modern society and in several cases the planet. Or even the universe. He's 18, Not To Over - Aged

Commanders of their element (this stirs up problems when people with the exact same powers clash too) He Barely Knows Any Sand Attacks, Only 2, Actually, Which Is Why He Focuses On His Blade

Not so much as it used to be but vampires are cliche too I Have NO Vampire Characters....Well...

So are nine tailled kitsunes, there are three of those things floating about to my knowledge that have some credibility to them.

The 'playing it cool' type personality is kind of copy and pasted to nearly every character, nearly every one. Mark Is Almost Never Playing It Cool, Unless He's Not Under Attack, Still Then He's Um...Idk

Facility experiments, admittedly it's a good plot thing and it should be capitalised more upon but it's pretty much the excuse for anyone possible: Step 1, facility creates weird ass mutant and instead of researching or vivisecting it they take pride in torturing the life out of it. Step 2, the facility and it's deplorable security even though they have advanced technology allow the character to escape. Step 3, character is traumatised like a Vietnam veteran from the mention if the facility. He's JUST A Scientist That Makes Robots, And Other Things

Use of the 'void' this kinda stemmed from an argument between three people over who has control over it but I thought I'd touch on it a little more. Have a pocket dimension instead, the dimension of the void shouldn't really belong to anyone. Though void magic is a rarity.

The fighter, this is more common with newer people as they want to test their boundaries but everyone kind of gets sick of being asked to fight, for the bajillionth time. I So Used To Do This, Everybody Remembers Teaching Baby Mark

Anything involving darkness or light. A whole lot of people use dark magic, and a whole lot use light, it's like the other elements of magic were forgotten about. WAHAHAHAHAHA DIE FOOLIS-Whoops

Putting 'unknown' or '???' For age in character history. Might as well have not even typed the three letters and the colon along with your vague answer to the age of your character. As I Said,18

The Batman-esque origins. Your character can have parents, but y'know not be seeing them, instead of being an orphan, the rp room ain't a youth hostile. Whoopsie Daisie, All My Characters Are Batman!

The demigod. Whenever someone makes a character this is basically what they are aiming to make while beating around the bush as much without trying to make a Mary Sue or a Gary Stu, some people however do not. And it's getting older seeing soo many people with the ability to destroy the earth in a yawn basically.

-edit-

Demons,demons demons demons everywhere.

People with red eyes too, it's become not a sign of being threats in but rather the most common eye colour
