Advice needed.

[yarmouth1]

This is not feedback i want but like the title suggest's a bit of advice is needed so here goes.

My resent Role plays have been as sort of a story first of Yarmouth found out about his real father and started to try to improve on his English by taking lessons for his dyslexia.

Then he met a sexy blond at the pool and brought her to his hotel where he gets attacked by Royce's henchmen.

So here is what am asking do i carry on with my story telling away from the in ring Role plays and do those as segments for the show or do i carry on with what am trying to do with the story telling of Yarmouth getting about his life and then bringing his opponents into the story and trash talk that way?

Which is the best way to Role play for Yarmouth?

Him improving his english is a great step forward. As for his story line, you should find a way to include your opponent into it somehow. But this will require you working with him so it fits together okay. I don't like it when there's a second storyline going on while there is a feud going on. It gets the storylines all messed up. When that happens, it's like; Here is storyline A, and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over here is storyline B, which just includes one character, and has nothing to do with storyline A. It all should be one package, and it needs to be Frustration Free, offered by Amazon.com (Joke)

There's my two cents. If Yarmouth is getting into some storyline with his promos, it'll have to fit in with your opponent for sure.

I think Goodburn's offering some good advice however I'm not entirely sold on having them be entirely separate as I think it's better to find a tie in between the two to get them to work together. There's a lot of ways to make it work - you just have to work some things out with your opponent to make sure that everything flows tightly.

I could never take Goodburn's advice as all my characters are pretty much a timeline story (My first character links to my second etc. as I went through RPs with characters).

I'd suggest keeping your character's story going until you enter into a feud, and then die the character development down little by little whilst focusing on the feud aspects of your RPs. That's how I did it, then I could just pick up/get more involved in the C.D. after the feud

First off, we can't tell you the best way to write your character. It's your intellectual property, so we work with the idea that you know how to write them best. It's up to you basically!

However, you asked for advice, so I'll give you mine. As someone that has consistently mixed character development storylines with match-related storylines, I find that the best scenario is to find a way to attach the two. That doesn't mean necessarily including your opponent, because that adds an occasionally uncontrollable variable that might interfere with our storyline. Essentially, what I propose is to find a way to tie your character development storyline to the wrestling world, not your opponent per se.

For example, my personal storyline right now has Kurt Noble reaping the effects of stardom, which has led him to make some questionable decisions regarding his family and old allies. I usually tie that into the match by Noble forming a mental connection between the two: He's frustrated with his wife, and directs his frustration towards CJ Gates. He feels he can be so much more to his fans, and thus pursues a fight with the Sindicate to prove it. This works on the inverse as well. If Yarmouth is frustrated over a loss, how does that reflect on his relationships with his peers? The challenge here is applying the same sort of connection in Yarmouth's world, should you choose to do so.

It's okay to bring your personal storyline to the show and vice-verse as long as you tie it to the overall wrestling picture, essentially.

I hope my point came off as intended. I felt like I rambled a bit too much, but maybe that's just me. If you'd like more elaboration, just let me know.
