oh my goodness, i used to do written roleplay too! started on inkpop with character chats, then eventually moved over to roleplaygateway lol. I actually preferred anime characters for face claims, rather than actual people, and if I really liked a character I'd just draw my own image for their profile. Definitely seen my share of...similarly faced, not very diverse characters lol. and the ones who solve every problem immediately in one post T-T do you still roleplay at all?
