Being new here and all, I don't know whether this has been suggested before. I did, however, take the liberty of looking over some of the threads in this forum to check and see if it had been suggested and, maybe I missed it, didn't see a thread about it. So here one is.
Roleplay Battles.
For anybody unfamiliar with the term, it is a roleplay in which two people take their characters and duke it out. Fairly simplistic idea, its only when you get into the guidelines that you develop a buggering headache.
As you can guess, the idea that you're attacking somebody else’s character with intention to scar/maim/kill them means there is a much thinner tolerance for godmodding.
In addition to this, because there are only two characters fighting it out, mano el mano or mano el womano or womano el mano (you get the point) there is a much larger focus on description. You can't write weak paragraphs in an rpb and this is one of the main reasons I guess it doesn't catch many rpers xD
I'm simply suggesting it for the sake of suggesting it. If a new forum is impossible for its creation, I wonder whether it is possible to issue RP battles within the "Original Themes" section.
On a much smaller note, wouldn't it be simpler that if in the character bios section of this site, it was streamlined so that each person creates an individual thread for all their characters. Then, when they join an rp, they simply issue a link as to which character they will be using. This being opposed to the re-posting of the same character for different rps because people may want (or not) to include additional information in their histories as to their struggles in the rp.
Ok, i'm just being a fussy tart. No need to listen if you think its inappropriate ;D

If you're having trouble finding a particular character's information, ask the player which page of profile thread it's on. And if you want to add more information to your character's profile as they grow and change, just go back and click the edit link on the post with their information. Simple as that.
