It's already been brought up, but what if I can't draw at all? You'd get pissed at me for using a PB then? Sry2say, but I create OCs just fine without drawing them or whatever. Hell if it's text-based, why the hell do I need to draw? Writing 'em out should be description enough, right?

Also, why don't YOU try to roleplay a character that's already been established? IMO, I think it's harder to do this because people out there KNOW the canon, and people out there would judge how you play the character based on how spot-on your characterization is in comparison to the original. If it's an original character, well, no one knows if you're playing them consistently, and no one as hell sure cares if you do.

And as for your main point? A LOT OF PEOPLE DO IT QUITE WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Maybe you're either blind, in denial, or just plain retarded to realize this.

If you can't draw ask a friend or write a description. Thats what I do for a lot of my starting characters and you thought of that already. Thank you for that. PB is a little more tolerable for me, but still just wish people would write.

I have tried playing an established character and I hated it. I felt stuck in the role given me, so that even if people said I did good, I didn't like it.
It may be easier to judge OOC on canon characters, but theres too damn many mess ups to deal with that way because so few people do established characters well. It would save me a headache if they would make their own characters and I wouldn't have to care about OOCness.
RP IS NOT ABOUT HOW IN CHARACTER YOU SEEM! If that is all you can judge a player by, I feel even more sad. Who cares if they are IC? It doesn't matter, you play for the joy of living a different life as a different person for a while.
Some people do it well, but I don't think most people do the artist/creators justice.

LOLOLOLOLLLLLLL uh

RPing = ROLE PLAYING = PLAYING A ROLE which by definition HEAVILY RELIES ON BEING IN-CHARACTER AND PLAYING THEM OUT

just pointing that out

If you can't draw ask a friend or write a description.

Do you realize how rude it is to ask a friend to DRAW YOUR OWN ROLEPLAY CHARACTERS? And yes, I thought it was the basic rule of roleplay to you know, WRITE. Drawing is just an extra privilege. Nothing more.

RP IS NOT ABOUT HOW IN CHARACTER YOU SEEM!

. . then your definition of ROLEPLAY is whack. You're playing a ROLE. With actors, directors would keep yelling at them to stay in-character or else it defeats the whole purpose of acting. It's the same with roleplaying established characters. If you can't stay IC, then you're not roleplaying. You're butchering a beautiful character, or however the hell you wanna describe that.

Who cares if they are IC? WHY I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THE PEOPLE YOU'RE ROLEPLAYING WITH? It DOES MATTER, and you obviously wouldn't get this because you're so set on with your idea of OCs FTW!!! Either way, whether it's an original character or a canon character, you're playing someone you're not. There is no difference.

You play your role how ever you see fit. If someone else doesn't think it is IC, it shouldn't matter, because you are playing your role. Their view of you shouldn't matter. That was my point, though poorly stated.

So, I said my thing, clearly isn't the common thought, I concede the point. Enjoy.
