RPing

RP rant. Disregard if you don't RP or know what I'm talking about.

So many characters I've seen on Twitter RP do /not/ live up to the character they're portraying. Yes, part of the fun of RPing is /being/ that character and making a few twists of your own on it, but there's the integrity of the character that I feel is sometimes killed off.
Examples:
Jar-Jar binks wouldn't launch into an in-character swear-riddled rant about how Anakin was being a punk.
Harry Kim wouldn't willingly launching himself into a bar fight. Not MU Harry Kim, the NORMAL Harry Kim. That's something Tom Paris might do, but not Harry.

Those aren't real situations that I've seen, but I've seen some involving real characters that have definitely made my eyebrows raise.
