If you don't want to read specifically about my roleplay characters, or, the games I play on, you might be interested in my MU* Code Page. This is a personal archive of TinyMUSH and TinyMUX code, as well as links to other code resources.
My RP philosophies are pretty simple. I play what I know. If I don't know it, I will read up on it, until I *do* know it. I always play women -- the few males characters I've started confused me so much they didn't make it through more than a few days. I am a woman, RL, and simply cannot refer to myself as a man, *even* for RP. I have this problem in tabletop games, also. I tend to play women who are very spiritual and religious, or, very business-oriented. All are *passionate* about something, but, only Gislin @ Texas and Denver (see below) has been a particularly "sexual" character to date. My characters (except Gislin) are heterosexual, a bit on the plain side, and they tend to "attract" others by the strength of their personality rather than their pure looks.
I began my original MU rp experience playing on PernMUSH in 1994. I was "Ginca", the apprentice vintner girl from a long line of vintners. The server went down with a few weeks, to a month of me playing there. Then, I moved to SouthCon Pern. During my tenure on SouthCon, Ginca graduated to Journeywoman, helped revitalize Karachi Hold's activity level, consulted on a minor vinters' hall being build (ie: built and coded my own area), and was Searched twice. The second time, she Impressed brown Corbeth at Honshu. When SouthCon changed sites several times within a short period, and then rebuilt the database from the ground up, I did not go with them.
Since playing my "vintner" Ginca, I've played Ginca as a Dolphineer on some MU I can't remember the name of, and a tattoo artist on PernMUSH who resigned for OOC cliquish political reasons. I've played "Gislin" on a variety of Perns, both as a herdcraft and a minecraft apprentice. I've played on CrystalMUSH as a variety of short-lived NPC plot chars. I played on the now-defunct Texas Twilight World of Darkness MUSH as a Benedictine nun and medical doctor "Sister Geria/Mary Geraldine" and the actress turned financier/politician "Gislin Dahl" (same name as the deceased CrystalMUSH char, but, *no* relation). That Gislin holds a special place in my heart because she transitioned from a "straight" woman to taking a female life partner (in an Anne Heche/Laurie Cypher 'one woman won my heart' kind of way), and it was an incredible experience to roleplay this out over game years. I also had a couple minor characters at Texas, the most memerable being the incredibly annoying "Buffy" of the "Muffy and Buffy Onnatopp" twins, played in conjunction with the staffer known as Meeko. Buffy epitomized the WoD twink ideal -- a sex-crazed incredibly-beautiful college girl, with green eyes, long legs, "curves in all the right places", and her daddy's money. Buffy's sole purpose was to wander the grid and provide IC entertainment to other chars by being stupid and/or flirty. I spent a short time on the Elfquest TwoMoonsMUSH, as "Goldmoon" (a half Wolfrider and half Go-Back elf), but, resigned because I found the site so cliquish that I could not find any sort of meaningful RP, despite trying the site a few different times over the years.
I have staffed on a few games; I was Belle (from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast") on Texas Twilight WoD MUSH: Building Wiz, Building Admin, and "Urban Renewal Wiz" (re-descer of the grid); I was Mentos on Full Circle WoD MUX: Mortal admin under Chocolate, and *brief* Mortal Wiz while a replacement was found for her; I was "Dr. Strangepork" (from Muppets Pigs in Space) on Mineappolis WoD MUSH: Code Wiz and code scrounger -- this was an exciting learning experience for me because I got to work with Didi (original writer of Didi's chargen); I was one of many people with a wiz-bit (code staff and something resembling theme staff also) on an original-theme game some RL friends were putting together that never got off the ground. I've run builder chars on both SouthCon Pern and CrystalMUSH (which is comporable to being a minor staffer on a WoD-type world).
My building projects are another thing I am "known" for (as much as anyone can be "known" for MU*ing if they're not a complete dino). I built a complete cathedral for Texas Twilight, which included an attached convent and rectory, and had secret rooms. I also had several IC buisinesses on the grid (as Gislin) that I maintained and desced my heart out to beautify. As I mentioned above, I was put in charge of "Urban Renewal" at Texas, which meant that many of the descs of the city and buildings were rewritten by me, and improved. I still manage two planetary builders on CrystalMUSH, both of which are two of the most complex, desced supplemental planets on that game (trailing behind the Moonbase and Maxim's Planet). When I played Widder Hagan on Mountain Cauldron (below), I coded and described a 24-hour herbalist shop that became one of the RP focals of the game...and when I moved the Widder, the shop moved with her, and again, became a roleplay focus on Denver. I have been complimented many times on the level of detail in the shop, there are *dozens* of little coded "touches" that make me feel the shop is the pinnacle of my building achievements to date. Art descs in the shop were provided by a good friend and the co-owner, Roberta (who took over the shop when the Widder died). I also ran the builder character for the Mage's chantry at Denver, and redid many of the descs to suite my tastes.
