I have three or four "types" that I play! I embrace my type-casting. 8D
First and most often is the DAMSEL. Quintessential real and true helpless, always getting kidnapped, sweet and fluffy damsel. Cause most of the time in rps, the female characters are usually the bitchy or badass chicks. So I like to balance that out.
Second would be the Anti-Damsel Girl Next Door. Basically, a very normal, average boring individual, who would be -assumed- to be a damsel, but then turns out being the take charge leader type! This type can be either really nice goody goody type, or the feisty mean girl type!
Then there is Turbo Bitch with really really REALLY REALLY deep down heart of gold. I don't get to play this one very often, cause I have a lot of problem with players not responding to this character well. ._.; They either don't understand that this character is -not- a nice person and then get mad cause they're a bitch to their characters. Or they take the insults the character makes at their character as a personal insult to them. OR they try to out badass this character or deliberately push their buttons in all the bad game-breaking ways, which leaves me struggling on how to respond without going against character design and screwing up the rp.
And finally, the stoic, mysterious, lady with big secrets or tragic history. I usually take up a mentor or support char role with this one, cause they aren't very aggressive pro-active shit starting characters and are a little harder to play cause their personality/plot is always so subtle. D:
