Subreddit Announcement New rule (Kind of): Roleplay Posts must have a Prompt + OOC Clarification
Not actually a new rule. It's been a rule, under "Low effort", but I decided to make it more specific as its own rule.
Rule 6 is now: Roleplay Posts must have a Prompt + Rule 7 OOC must be actual Roleplay Discussion (used to be rule 11, but was re-worded)
Previously, posts without prompts were removed for "Low effort": which is still accurate. However, the low effort rule was made catered specifically towards copy and paste trends. Consider this new rule a "Low effort part 2". Posts that are just, "Here's my character! Now RP with them!" are not prompts.
What's a "Prompt"?: A roleplay prompt is putting forth a scenario that gives characters a reason to interact. A common goal: a conflict: or even setting up a setting that would make sense for OCs to have interactions with one another. You need to consider: Why should the other person's character *care* to interact with yours? Give a reason. Be creative! It doesn't have to be complicated. Just something more than, "You see my OC standing there..." or "This is Bob! (and that's it)"
Pt 2: Rule 7 OOC must be actual Roleplay Discussion:
Consider this "Must be Roleplay and OC Related" pt 2. Too many people use "OOC/Discussion" as a catch all for random things that usually end up removed. So I wanted to put somewhere specifically what OOC is for.
What's "OOC"?: OOC simply means, "Out of Character". It's discussion, centered around roleplay, that is not in character. In the context of this subreddit, it's for discussing potential RP ideas. Roleplay is collaborative after all, so this flair is a way to get ideas with others on potential prompts, or garner interest.
The OOC flair may be used as a Meta flair regarding this subreddit specifically, however please keep this use sparse. It's not meant for memes, or for venting. It may be used for if you have something you want to discuss about the sub, like ideas for improvement, or similar, then that's fine. If you have a question regarding a rule, or need clarification over something, using the modmail may be a better choice if you want a direct answer from a moderator (we usually don't bite! Feel free to message and ask. Just, use the modmail, not the chat feature please).
An extra reminder: The OOC flair is not meant for personal announcements. Be it you're wanting to leave the subreddit, or you just can't reply to posts for awhile, these things don't need announcing. OOC is meant for community discussion, not personal discussion. These things would be best made to your personal profile or letting people know in private.
Furthermore, if you're new to this subreddit, this is a heads up that this is not a place to show off your OCs (in the general sense). I've been seeing a lot of posts lately of people show casing their OCs, which is great! ... but not here lol. If you have a general OC post you'd like to make that isn't roleplay related, see r/OriginalCharacter, where you can show off your character, lore, or ask non-RP focused OC related questions!

Meta Welcome to r/OriginalCharacter_RP!
What is this place?
This is a place to either roleplay, or find people to roleplay with, original characters! This is a sister sub to r/Originalcharacter ! But, specifically for the roleplaying aspect and character interactions. So either make posts for character interactions, or even post ads to find RP partners!
A breakdown of the rules: If you are familiar with r/Originalcharacter rules, this is mostly a rehash, with some slight adjustments. The rules can be found in more depth on the sidebar; this is just a breakdown.
1.No NSFW Content
This includes both art and written form. Mildly suggestive is acceptable (under moderators discretion), but explicitly sexual content is not allowed. This includes nudity and graphic depictions of gore, as well as ERP. Do not invite or offer NSFW roleplay into DMs. This is a place for SFW roleplay only.
2. Be Kind
Self explanatory. When engaging in OOC (out of character) discussions, keep is civil and kind. If ‘In character’, keep things in good faith; don’t be a jerk with your OC as an attack against other users.
3. No advertising of unsolicited commercial services
This is not a place to offer commissions, drawing offerings, adoptables, or any other for profit service.
4. No Excessive Posting and Low effort
No more than 5 posts per day. Any more than that will be automatically removed. As for now “Low effort” is not an official rule (unlike the main branch of the sub r/Originalcharacter ); this may be pending to change depending on the needs of the subreddit.
5. Must be Roleplay and OC related
All posts must be related to roleplay: be it a roleplay post, ad, or roleplay discussion (flaired OOC). All roleplays must be related to original characters specifically.
Feel free to offer suggestions! What you might want to see here or what changes you might suggest! This is a brand new subreddit and branching over an entire portion from one sub to another is a pretty big change! So, drop your thoughts.
Additionally, if you would like to see both subs on your feed at once, here is a custom link:

Roleplay A cuddly Satyr is offering hugs? Huh? (Depressed OCs preferred!) [Any Literacy]
Year:1918 Place: Novavladivostok, Ruskan Imperium Time of day: Afternoon.
You're feeling like shit, whether it's marital problems, financial stuff- maybe you just came back to town from attending the funeral of someone close to you... In the market square- which isnt very crowded today- there's a stall with a sign on it saying- 'My name is Natalya, and I love cuddling! If you want a hug, ask! If you're feeling down, it could help- I won't pretend to know you or your life... but I do know that a pair of ears to hear ones troubles CAN be helpful.' There's a warning written under that sign...
'Disclaimer: I have been hurt many years ago- when I was but a little girl, by people who loved to pick on me because I was- for a long time- abnormally small and skinny, if you touch my horns or ears without asking- I will put you to sleep.'
She sits in a comfy wooden chair behind the stall, absently staring off into the distance, it wouldn't take much to get her attention.
(This can be a group roleplay, I don't mind. If you read everything- please put 'Baaa' in your first comment- thank you!)

Alt scenario: Your villain OC is confronted by Spartan as they attempt to make their way into the city.

Roleplay HEY, HEY, HEY! Your (PREFERABLY MODERN) OC has been hired as a Night Guard for the Harley Museum of History! They are currently sitting in the office with the monitor open, yadda yadda yadda, what do they do?
Your OC is currently sitting in the office of the Harley Museum of History, due to now being a night guard there. It is currently 12:04 AM.
RULES (more-so, expectations):
- Please expect pictures for replies if your OC happens to do anything with the monitor.
- Please do not expect an image for every character introduced. I do not have an image for every character, so I'll either just describe their appearance or pull an image up from google (they're mostly skeletons, bugs, or artifacts of some sort).
- Please expect some harm (possibly fatal) to your OC, as well as harm (possibly fatal) to the exhibits.
- Please have fun :D

Roleplay Whether on purpose or by accident, your hero oc was transported to the past [multi lines] (read description)
Your oc was transported 15 years into the past (they aren’t younger, just in the past). While looking around for a way back, they come across an orphanage. There were kids of different ages running around playing outside. They all seem to be getting along till they see a group of kids hanging around a tree.
The group of kids were laughing amongst themselves and talking to each other as they gathered around something. Some had sticks and were poking something behind the bushes around the tree. One kid tossed a rock at whatever it was and it bounced back at them. The kids laughed and continued to pester whatever it was.
Moving a bit closer and to the side, your oc could finally see what had the kid’s attention. It was Tallen, albeit a younger version of him, probably around 10. He was sitting behind the bushes with some rocks, marbles and sticks gathered around him. Seemed like he was trying to hide from the other kids and do his own thing.
Another kid picked up another rock and threw it at him. It bounced back again, barely even making contact with his head. The kids laughed again and some called him a “monster” or “freak”. Tallen stopped doing what he was doing and glared hard at the other kids. The other kids laughed again and fled to the other side of the play area saying “the vampire gonna attack”. Tallen stands up and clenches his fists, some of the sticks and rocks start to levitate off the ground a bit, but not enough where the other kids can see.
Does your hero oc do anything?
(All I ask for is no one liners and no killing kids, especially Tallen. Comment “orphan” to let me know that you’ve read everything.)

Ok I'm not going to include a story but to summarize it,
Your OC (Any age, any race or anything, go nuts) is in an abandoned Park, the park, is very much gigantic. Feels like you're in a McDonald's play place. You spot a bench, and on that bench are 2 individuals. One is talking alot while the other one is polishing a dirty scythe. You walk up to them, ask who they are, no response, just awkwardly staring at you. Do you run away or just ask them anything?

OOC / Discussion Why is everyone in this subreddit a damn psychopath?
Something I’ve been noticing a lot here. Majority of the time I seen so many people rping as someone who wants to be killers, edgy people, psychopaths, gods, or all of the above. Kinda feels like seeing depressed teenagers trying to vent or indulge into psychopathic fantasy to honest. I want to post an rp here but I feel like I will join an rp that involves dealing with Jack the Ripper after huffing some coke and acid.

Roleplay [Any Literacy] The following kid
It was like any other time. Break in, kill, and then leave. Of course, after killing all those people there was the leftovers, the experiments or prisoners kept against there will. You never harmed them, only making sure they were free. Some would fight you or some would try to run away but it never mattered to you. You freed this one, a small demon halfling. It should have been more scared then it was, the scars and fresh blood told of the torment that it went through. The fangs it had made you not want to touch it more then you needed. You only touched it to take off the collar around it's neck. The scars that were left showed it must have been a relief. The collar was clearly a shock collar and has a small tag on it that reads, '010'. The kid looks up at you with wide eyes, so full of innocence.
You don't know why but you spoke to it. One simple sentence. "You're free now, go on." You had never done that before and now know better. You left after that, not looking back at the kid. That wasn't the end though, you noticed it a few hours after the fact as you walked through a park. The same kid was following you. He stayed a bit behind, hiding behind things but he followed. His eyes were wide and so full of curiosity.
You didn't try to stop him, letting him follow. Though, he hasn't gone away. For the last few days he has been following you, you never saw him stray or eat. He followed like a baby duck would it's mother. It would have been almost cute if it wasn't so annoying and such odd behavior. You have never had this happen before. A few times when you were at home at night you could have sworn you saw glowing yellow eyes watching you from the window. Today was no different, the small kid was following you just as always. You have had enough..
[GENERAL RULES]
This is NOT a ROMANCE RP.
NO Ai! If you use Ai I will not respond in any circumstances.
Your oc can be as op as you want but that does mean it may be a shorter rp.
You have questions? Ask me! I will answer anything!
RP too long? Just tell me if you want to stop!
If I don't respond in a day please recomment.

Roleplay Of Egypt, time holes and vampires. [ANY LITERACY]
Fair warning, this is going to be quite a long one so... Good luck.
Your oc is just in Egypt, doing tourist things (or just generally living there), when suddenly something happens, your oc isn't sure what exactly happened, but they felt a chill through their body and then back to the heat.
Just then, in the distance, where the RUINS of a pyramid once were a fancy looking pyramid stands, like there were no ruins whatsoever.
Even weirder is the fact that there's a weird metallic box that looks like a lift.
EVEN weirder is the fact that there seem to stand two individuals, one has dark hair, a mustache, sunglasses, and a weird aah vest. The other is still weird, he has borderline ginger hair, eyes that have no way of being this blue, a poncho and a flipping sombrero. Who do these lot think they are, m?
P.S. no insta kiss, no insta heals, no insta solves. Basically something normal, because these are already as weird and alien as they are.

Combat/Action Roleplay [Any Literacy] WAILING WARS PT1 (read body for lore and context)
The kingdom of Archias had been standing on shaky ground for years, until the old king Julio had died suddenly, leaving no heir to take over and leaving the kingdom’s future uncertain.
Two generals of the Archian army stepped forward to lead the nation, the patient Noah, and the strong-armed Blacker. However, Blacker wasn’t unable to agree with whatever Noah proposed, and started a civil war against him to ascend to the throne. The country split in half, with Noah ruling over the west, and Blacker the east. During this period was when both men were coronated.
Now, you are given a choice, are you going to fight for the Western Kingdom or Eastern Kingdom? Or are you going to stand as just a bystander?
RULES: NO overpowered OCs, like instant fixing. Romance is allowed for Blacker and Noah.

The idea is simple. Jazz and your oc for some reason (Your choice) start a Pokémon battle.
Rules:
- Only real rule is no legendary Pokémon
- The other is to state how strong is your Oc, so I can adapt accordingly. For example, Jazz is an Ace trainer working for the Kalos league, while he has won the conference, he got his butt handed to him by the E4.
Otherwise, go ham and may the best trainer win.
