I was surprised this wasn't up here,but I recently rped with some TLK players,and they weren't as bad as people claim.List your opinions on TLK players and what you think can be improved about them to make them more....trustworthy(I can't find the word)... players.
-
What I think about TLK..-- What does TLK even means? Anyway, I mostly see them in Bonfire and I think there annoying because there always roleplaying about Lion King. I understand Lion King is a good movie, but are they extremely addicted to that..I was kinda addicted to that when I was a baby, but no. Ermm TLk in my opinion needs to do something different. No offense, it's annoying because so many people be playing as Nala and the other people be like. "Hey! I had Nala character first" (etc) And I'm thinking like what..And also so many people be acting like Simba..The the the Nala characters be on top of him.. >.> Weird people.. That's all for now. (I think TLK means to be in Lion King?)
-
I think ''roleplaying'' as The Lion King characters and just fine.
I would have to say the only thing I hate about it is how people abuse it.
-
I dunno actually. I'm sure most of them are normal people and are not crazily addicted (I hope I spelled that right) to TLK. In my opinion, as soon as they start this "I had Scar character first", "I look way more like Mufasa then you do", "Hey sparkledog, get out of here, you make us sick, this is Simba's kingdom" stuff they're annoying and.. well.. bad. But otherwise I have nothing against them, let people roleplay =)
-
TLK rpers are fine for me. I doesn't bug me because mostly they are in Bonfire and let them be there. But well sometimes it gets really annoying when they start arguing who is who and have way too much drama over there. Anyways they are fine with me until they don't overreact and the rp wouldn't come a big drama mess.
-
-shrugs- It's cool. But, so many people start arguing then a dramatic fight breaks out then someone gets banned and no one's happy. I don't get it really why people are so addicted to TLK..I like TLK 1/2 because that was the funniest movie when I was smaller.
-
Everyone always says that they're all iliterate and annoying, and sometimes, sure, but others can be really literate! "Don't judge a book by it's cover." I saw a Simba doing paragraph posts with words I don't even know XD
I rp TLK alot, because Ghinjo (My TLK lion) Is the first character I see once logging in. I do hate how it's right there where the TLK people and mate centers come so you get killed by lag....
But they're not annoying. When there's two Vitanis, obviously you don't want to rp with a bunch of them. And some people loose their temper if the other character doesn't leave....
But it seems that if ANYONE makes a TLK character even once, they're automatically hated by the community. But they can rp as whatever they want, if you're not happy with it, turn off local or go to South Pole. Some of their names also state they rp TLK, but they really don't.
Yeah, don't judge me.... I do like to RP TLK. I enjoy fighting as long as people don't powerplay. And also, not many people do rp TLK1. You see Ziras, Kiaras, Vitanis, etc. not cub Simba and Mufasa very often.
I have a feeling someones going to quote me and then start raging at me until I delete my character.. T.T And pfft, long post, I'm sorta addicted to TLK XD
-
They surly aren't bad or annoying people, but I for one do not like when people take characters from books, movies, or shows because in my opinion it shows no creative and unique interest. Sorry if this offends ANYONE!!! I promise I am only saying my opinion on it, I love lion players. I have my own (Ryo) so I am not saying I dislike lion players.
-
I've roleplayed as TLK myself a couple times. :P
I don't think they're all that bad, or annoying, unless there's more than one of a certain character on at the same time. This is when the fighting and powerplaying starts.
Other that that, the only thing that bugs me is when they abuse the characters. For example, making a char named 'Kiara's bestfriend', or 'Kovu's sister'. Those characters weren't in the movies, or the books, and it just kills the roleplay for me. If the character was theorized to be in the movie (like Dotty and Spotty, or Kopa), that doesn't effect much, but taking a lion and adding all the tags just to be included in a TLK roleplay seems kind of ridiculous to me. .-.
-
I don't mind then appart from you get several 'reals' or 'officials'. That always gets on my nerves I must say

Oh my god, the best friend stuff bugs me so much. I don't mind the daughter or son tag, but friend does bug me. Also how people say that they're "Kiaras daughter" but they have pink bodies and purple upper eyelids and neon yellow tails o.o
-
And not a lot of the lions have marking either. Really only back stripes, ear rims, and scars. Yet, in Feralheart, there is indeed lions with swirl markings named "Scar's son"
-
I hate it when they claim to be the official characters and the ones in bonfire annoy me. They caps rage and their RP seems to spam out everyone elses. It wouldn't kill them to make a group! But other then that I don't care much, people can RP about whatever they want to.
-

I know, right?
I mean I don't mind TLK stuff, as long as it's in the "future" of TLK. I mean I LOVED all three movies as a child, and I still kinda like the movies myself.
But I honestly hate it when it's either Mufasa, Nala, Sarabi, Simba, or Scar. I would accept a different Simba or Scar because Simba means lion, and someone might make up a different type of character named Simba, or an evil-like character or a character named after their scar I'm okay with, but if they are from the actual TLK, just no.
Creativity is what I like. Not characters from books or movies.
I honestly also hate when there's an abused or abandoned cub, or anything like that, or rule-breakers and all that shiz. A simple pride in bonfire would be good, though.
And if there's a TLK RP just for the lol's then it's fine with me, but I honestly dislike it when there is a Ahadi cub and a Kiara teen, because they lived in different times in TLK.
Though I honestly don't mind TLK RP's if nothing gets screwed, ruined or any arguments.
It's fine with me, if it's just for fun, or entertainment, or even just a simple RP really.
-
I don't think they're that bad but it does get quite confusing for me when I go to bonfire and I see a bunch of Nalas, Simbas, Scars, kovus, etc.. and all of them claiming to be the official one seems a bit odd for me but I can't exactly say much as I've never rped with them before.
-
Can't say I hate 'em.. or love them. -Eye twitch-
Anyway, I'm fine with TLK Roleplayers. If they're literate, it makes the roleplay 'okay'. I've roleplayed a TLK char before, and honestly, it always turns out bad. Why? They go hardcore with the fandom!
Now, there's a lot of reasons why I dislike TLK Roleplayers. For one, they treat the Outlander/Pridelander thing like religion.
Let's take an example:
Chaka (Supposedly Kiara and Kovu's 'son'.):"i'm haff outlander and haff pridelander."
What? No. Now, I won't believe these two have cubs until I hear it from the officials of Disney.. :l Anyway, this cub isn't half of both. Outlander and Pridelander is a name of where you live, not in what you believe. They happen to think that Outlanders/Pridelanders have beliefs and treat it as if it were a religion. This cub isn't half of both for the fact that being an Outlander/Pridelander isn't in your 'blood'.
The Wars:
I hate the wars. Mainly the fact that it lags Bonfire. Let's say you're Scar or Zira. All those 'Outlanders' will follow your Zira or Scar as if they were puppies, always following you around and asking, "r we going 2 atack da pridelanders???". Is that annoying? Incredibly!
The wars are just godmodding, powerplaying, and auto-hitting, which is annoying. With throwing posts like, "We're taking over the Pridelands, Simba!" When really they're just fighting for a rock..
In the end, the Outlanders lose because the Pridelanders call them cheaters and block them all, causing the Outlanders to retreat because what's the point of fighting someone blocked?
Outlander vs. Pridelander:
It's annoying. Yes, that's my catchphrase because I'm a broken record on it.
Let's say you're a Pridelander, wandering in the supposed 'Outlands'. Don't expect not to be tackled by five outlanders, shouting in caps, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE OUTLANDS?! Die, Pridelander!!!!111!" Same thing with Outlanders. If you're Simba or Nala, you're going to be insulted by some outlanders or some Scar or Zira, wanting to put up a fight!
VitanixKopa and NukaxSpotty:
Well. I don't want to talk about this, but I want to. I feel like I'm making a point.. -Scratches chin-
Anyway, these roleplayers make Kopa and Vitani be 'mates' and have their own cubs. Why?! Honestly, there's nothing that proves that they have a relationship and besides, Kopa probably would be way older than Vitani since he was born when Nuka was. (I assume he was.) Long story short, they're always put together, have cubs, and just.... be illiterate most of the time.. Now for Nuka and Spotty, it's the exact same thing. Nuka has kids with Spotty. (When really, he died before he could have any..) There's nothing that proves their relationship either..
The Many Family members:
Like someone said up there, the KiarasSister or ZiraDaughter is just a bunch of fake baloney. Why not go by the movie? I doubt Zira has a lot of more cubs. Her cubs are Vitani, Nuka, and Kovu. End of story. Same goes with the others. Simba has no brothers. Scar and Mufasa have no other siblings. That's all.
I understand. It's only 'roleplay'. Trust me, if you went there, then it'll be pointless. The thing is, some of these things, like the one above, make the user seem snobby, arrogant, and ignorant..
-
Also, what's funny is when someone says they're "Simba's brother" but not "Mufasa's or Sarabi's son". And the NukaXDotty thing is everywhere. I've seen it on Deviantart, Wikias, etc. But what if Nuka did survive? You don't always have to go by the book. I like saying Scar doesn't die, or that Nuka had a little bit of strength to pull the logs off of him after the outsiders left. And another point, the official term is "Outsiders" not "Outlanders." Disney put Outlanders on the back of the TLK2 movie case as a mistake, and in no point during the movie do they say "Outlanders", yet, that's what everyone says it is.
And, I'm going to create a mapped TLK rp, it might help with some of those problems if I can find literate people who know their lion king. Eh, a bit off-topic but oh well XD
-
I've never really had a problem with TLK players. Even in Bonfire, they seem to just roleplay with other TLK characters and stuff.
Never have I once seen them powerplay or map claim, which I can't say for other fandoms like Warrior Cats.
But anyway, I think the TLK players are very bearable, they might be a little funny with their "Official" tags but I guess that's a trend in that fandom. It's also a little amusing when a "Official Simba" character's mane is bright red and the coloring is all off. XD
Their roleplaying does spam Bonfire a lot, but that's mainly just because Bonfire is extremely small and there's barely any room in it.
Really, the TLK players aren't too bad. Because there's so many of them, sometimes when they fight it's horrible with the massive lagging and the chat zooming by. But that's basically the same as what Warrior Cats do and other fandoms probably do that because there's so many of them.
I think people degrade the TLk players a lot though. But then again the TLK players are only human, so of course they aren't all human.
I feel like I'm rambling now, so I'll just stop this comment thing.

O3O But... but I like playing as Mello from Death Note! ;^; He's epical..

I myself do not mind TLK roleplayers. It's as valid as any other roleplay genre. However, I've never run into any good ones yet -- they've all been illiterate or powerplayers. XP

I don't know, I personally believe it is an excellent writing exercise to play as an existing character from books/shows/movies, taken you're playing in the character's established universe and not migrating them into original roleplays. It's a good method for putting consistency and character interpretation skills into action -- valuable skills for writers. Plus, it's fun! :D And despite enjoying and participating in fandom roleplays, I still create characters of my own with their own unique stories. So... that's that! XP
-
TLK? Honestly, so long as they leave me alone, they're as good as any other Roleplay. If they bug me, then I'll bug them back...usually with paragraph Rp posts that they let fly past as soon as they're posted. I only have two real lion characters, Karlia and Skyla, who are just random lions yet TLK RPs with them as if I were in their group. Final opinion; they're fine by me.
-
There aren't any difference on TLK RPers and other RPers - they can be as good or bad as anyone else.
I appreciate all the imagination they put into their RPs, and it doesn't matter what pairing or who's imaginary sibling/parent/mate they are RPing as.
To me a RP can be about anything - it's no end on your imagination and there is really matter what's it about as long as you and your group are having a good time and not offending your fellow players.
What can annoy me is those who think they are better then others, and takes the right to judge them, also people who just try and destroy others RPs with trolling and just being plain rude, breaking FH rules and just doing everything they can to destroy for their fellow players.
It can be tireing when 2 of the same characters show up and starts bickering of who has the right to be there - but in truth nothing is forcing me to stay there so if I get bothered I simply move away. As long as they don't start swearing or start to offend each other this is fine with me.

True that. Thanks. I do agree
-
Sometimes when Bonfire isn't a compleat lag death trap for me, I go there just to hear the TLK RP that happens there. I honestly don't mind them that much, I mean from alittle movie like TLK started this little idea of Feral Heart.
There are some times when Ido notice if there are two of the same character from the movie, they do get in a little cat fight about who's the real Simba or who's the real Kovu or Scar. It really just basic,y depends on the person really, some TLK can be enjoyable withy the right mature people...and some arnt
-
Every group of roleplayers, be they inspired by Balto or The Lion King, are going to have the good and the bad. Some have more bad than good. X: I have a Lion King character (based off of Simba, actually. Made on a whim. XD) though I don't very often roleplay. I've seen some.. very colorful Simbas.
-
I don't have any problems with TLK roleplayers. They never bother me really. When I'm in Bonfire Island, I usually see them roleplaying at the top of the hill that looks a bit like Pride Rock (which is why they chose that particular spot to RP in). I do sometimes see the "King Simba" or "Simba Official" "Mufassa Official" etc, and find it a bit funny.
It's mostly big fans of TLK that like participating in these RPs. So why not let them have their fun? As long as they don't break any FH rules, I'm cool with it.
-
TLK rpers don't really bother me much, though when they go a bit out of bounds such as arguing over who is Simba's mate :-\ or over any Lion King character. I think most of them are just people looking to have a nice rp but some people are just crazy, or addicted to it. :P
-
Oh lawdy, dem TLKers never fail to amuse.
My good friend spends a lot of time on her Simba character, one which she made purely for fun and OOC purposes. She made a clear bio explaining the character's purpose, though I told her it was a somewhat futile gesture considering that many Bonfire regulars don't bother with them at all.
So a couple of days ago, we were sitting in Bonfire together when a whole cast of characters came up to her clamouring for attention of one form or another.
"Oh Simba, the outlanders are attacking!"
"Oh Simba, I missed you honey where have you been?"
"Oh Simba, I'm your long-lost brother, did you know?"
She tried to explain that the character wasn't for RPing, but either they didn't see because the chat was too fast or they willfully ignored it. Also, these people had very little consideration for personal space(you know, they were the kind of people who aren't content with sitting next to you, they have to sit in you or it's not good enough). After a while we decided to shift away, since they just weren't getting the message.
Lo and behold, every single one followed us. This went on for quite some time, until they were all convinced that Simba was a grouchy old meanie and he wasn't fit to be king. Naturally, we were in stitches. This would have kept being fun, if a Scar character hadn't then also come up. When we moved away this time, he began screaming at us in caps because Simba hadn't been terrified of his presence. We politely gave the explanation again, and directed him to the bio. This did nothing to console him, in fact it sent him into a rage because supposedly you have to constantly be IC on Feralheart or it's against the rules and you should be brutally tortured.
Not sure if this is still entirely on-topic, but it seemed like an amusing example of how crazy those guys can be.
-
In my opinion TLK Rpers are fine unless they are poerplaying and such, I didnt got mad directly at them but I get annoyed when they said "-Kills no miss-" Really annoyed me but ill just walk off the rp and find better tlk rpers :/ And I saw a simba that looks like Mustard and ketchup mane XD Anyway I roleplayed as kovu and we had a group of TLK The next generation and the roleplayers there in bonfire in my group are just fine :3 they're semi-lit and I have no problem wiff that, And roleplayed Mufasa cub once with taka even though he deosnt look like taka but i know he tried his best to make on and he's lit :o TLK Are fine as long they're having fun :3 and not raging in real life o,o
-
derp,I just rped as my lion character,but I didn't put PL or OL because it's not like countries or continents <_> so Caspian (My character,based him off of Legend of the Ghost Dog book) was SORT OF evil and attacked Zazu (The blue bird). Later Caspian apologized but ((Like a 9 year old))Zazu started screaming and powerplaying on me. I apologized OOC but still,he kept it up. When some lioness said, "Zazu,would you like to see my new cubs?" and this is what he said
<Zazu> Well it better not have anything to do with Caspian!!!
I mean really,I apologized OOC and IC! Later I just went poof to rp as my Espanol~ wolf.
-
I think everyone has their obsessions (For me it's Hunger Games, Walking Dead and Norman Reedus) but I find it strange to roleplay the Hunger Games, or Walking Dead. Because.. would you follow the plot of the original story exactly, or make it your own? Wouldn't it be weird because you're playing a character that already is played? I don't know.
-
I don't really mind. People can role play what they want. But, it does annoy me, when people put E.G. 'Nala Official' They don't own the characters. Disney do. c:
-
When I first saw them, I thought they were progammed.
As I got in to FeralHeart and realized they weren't, I enjoyed playing as OCs. But after awhile I really lost interest in them as I began to become more literate and left their "community."
I think they're okay but it's really not interesting to me and too illiterate for my taste. Plus, half of the time they are fighting eachother over who is the "real" Canon-character. It gets annoying.
So I'd say my view of them is negative.
From the Shadows~

-
I really just hate those people how play as the lion king charaters themself then put something like "Real" in there names... So I dont go to places like bonfire.....
-
It's fine, I've seen some good ones, however some are such so immature. They fight over characters an bash people who don't have "perfect" characters. There was a great Simba once but he was too yellow in the eyes of the other LK players so they were pretty rude to him. I was just there like "Wow, a literate LK player being bashed on how their character looked". I mean he/she was fantastic, what an outrage!
-
I can deal with them. They just annoy me to death...
-
Role Playing as a lion king character is just fine, its what the person behind the screen is wanting to be so therefore they are. I see many around bonfire and the odd ones around flourite and cape, I must admit I myself have some lion king characters maybe 2-3 but that's just cause its one of my favorite films.
The only thing is to many people create a lion king character once they see one person being one then you end up with atleast 10 of the same lions which does get annoying. You also see them arguing "I was kove first!" Or "I am the real Nala" this really annoys me-_-. Also they often cause quite a lot of drama jumping off cliffs etc which really isn't necessary, along with them arguing over mates or even mating in public!.
I don't have anything agains the people who play lion king characters but maybe give it a rest on making one as soon as they see others on one? And make a group and stick to it, so you don't get mixed up who's who and no one is stealing no one.
Anyway as I've stated I don't get bothered about the LK characters and enjoy seeing others role-play as them, but I guess I may have a different opinion than everyone else. All in all this is my honest opinion on what I think about the over load of LK chars in bonfire etc and how sometimes I don't really mind them.
-
I don't mind them, but they always seem to be there. It's as if they never sleep. O_____o
But, it can get annoying when a copy of the "original" character shows up and the two start rp fighting (caps lock..) into the chat.
-
I find it fine for floofs to roleplay out the movie, create TLK based characters, or try and make their own stories. The only thing about it that bugs me was stated prior to my post, however I will say. I dislike the abuse of the creations, such as a neon Simba named 'zimba TLK ofishul' roleplaying with a bright yellow 'kira offishial' as Kiara. It would be nice to put some time into the characters, and however I have not tried to roleplay as a lion king character, I suppose it might be interesting.
-
I don't mind TLK role-players, in fact, The Lion King is one of my childhood favorites. I like to have some reference to the characters, kinda makes me feel like being in Disney World or something in that nature. Having my character interact with Simba, please, I find that entertaining.
However, the only time I would be sour about the whole idea or person role-playing as one of the characters is when there is little respect to the character name and personality. For instance, I don't want my favorite character, Shenzi be a kind-hearted hyena to a lion cub. That is weird to me. That's not her style, she is the leader (mostly because I've had the assumption of her being the only female) of an entire clan of savage hyenas, her name itself means "Savage." I don't want to see Shenzi skipping around like a kindly and cowardly canine by a notorious power-player.

Shenzi
She is awesome
-
Honestly, I don't really mind the TLK roleplayers. We all (mostly) roleplay. No one seems to have a problem with the warriors. No one seems to have a problem with the Horses. Why have a problem with TLK?
My only issue is the abuse of it. Like earlier people mentioned, the repeated characters and people fighting over them.. But also people making random 'daughters of Kovu' or 'sons of Simba' or whatever... Especially without clearing it with the character first... A random cub popping up? Its a bit awkward. The way they abuse being in TLK roleplays bothers me, but overall, I can live with it.
-
I honestly don't mind 'The Lion King' roleplayers. The ones that start spamming the chat with 'omg, im simba not you you copier !@#@$#@' etc. are probably the ones that give the majority bad press.
What puzzles me is the lack of other lion/wolf/similar roleplay characters.
I mean, they exist but not to the point of people commenting.
Such as:
- Balto (And all the other wolves/dogs in there)
- All Dogs go to Heaven
- The Aristocats
- The Jungle Book
For example. Odd, isn't it, how TLK won out out of all of those?
-
Welp. I don't mind the TLK role players at all. I mean if they stick to the original personality of the character then knock yourself out, I actually like seeing that, it's amusing. But Player's who make there personality of the character the total opposite of what it's original personality is, then I would be extremely bothered and annoying by it. Oh and if there is alot of player's abusing the role of the character's format. :D
.:.Rava.:.

I feel the same way for most but my friend red plays as The Doctor from doctor who but we switched it all up like this:
10 regenerated after getting attacked by an unknown fish when he went for a swim, my Doctor Who OC Cy got the fish off and bit The Doctor's arm pulling him to shore. Because water boils Cy's flesh alive and The Doctor lost a lot of blood and is in major pain from the parasites in Cy's venom when she grabbed him., They both regenerated together.
That I LOVEEEE
