Winter weather RP

I thought there was a thread on this, but after searching and searching none turned up. So I'm making one.

When you do a winter RP -if- you do. Do you go along with the harsh climate or make up an excuse to to be immune?

I go along, cause whats the point of an arctic/winter room if its not gonna be played to its full potential. xD But thats just my opinion.

If so whats your reason/excuse?

Best one I have seen so far is a player who came into Edelize with a trinket that created a small pocket of heat around her. but if it got too wet it went kaput. And among other faults.

What made it better is she still dressed warm, rather then using it as an excuse to wear a leather bikini.

This thread is NOT to bash those who use excuses to get out of the weather effects. Just to discuss what you do in winter rooms and potentially awesome and reasonable ways to have a 'get out of weather free card'

I sometimes use a wintery castle for my Castle Dracula room. And it's obviously winter. Snow and ice everywhere. The Carpathian mountains are not exactly known for their mild winters. Think of Colorado or Upstate New York in winter.

The worst non-excuse for someone dressing poorly in my room was one day a "female reporter" showed up wearing shorts and a top that showed a LOT. She walked to the castle and then tried to break in to snoop around. When Dracula caught her I actually had him ask her if she was cold. (after thoroughly describing what the weather was like outside). Her response was a simple "Naw, I'm fine." but I was visualizing someone saying that with their arms wrapped around themselves, teeth chattering, and skin turning blue.

Here is the castle I usually use.

but here's the one I use when I want it to be winter. And that is the one one I used when the barely dressed woman tried to break in.

Shaylyn has a very high tolerance for Hot and cold temperatures. She can physically feel the cold, but her body tolerates it to the point that it does not respond with feelings of pain or discomfort. She tolerates cold much more than heat though as she can be burnt by fire, but snow isn't so much of a bother for her (Unless it gets below 0 Fahrenheit)

Say can sometimes keep her body temperatures below average (Around 50 Degrees Farenheit). Her Magic is Ice-centric, so sometimes a cold body is something she wants.

Soriah is the opposite, her native element is fire, so she can keep herself warm by heating her body. (Similar to the heat field of the OP)

Yeah... that's the sort of thing I have.

It would depend on my character, my current one I am playing wouldn't be bothered to much by the cold.

On the other hand, it would depend on what I decided to have for my character if the cold would bother them, I don't do of on the spot adaptations. So if my character was in a nice warm setting, and I decided to drop them in a cold environment, I would play the fact my character was not prepared for the cold, and would play it out as such.

I think it makes things more interesting, if you don't always prep yourself to much for a room if there is an obvious factor where weather might be a concern.

Maybe the RP for the Day / Night would be who ever is playing, has been dropped into a winter blasted land and they have to survive. if you go in there and already prepped for the cold or immune, it would kind of ruin the feel of the theme for the session.

Sula goes along with the colder weather and dresses accordingly. She isn't immune to frosty climates, but she does enjoy the snow so bundling up isn't a nuisance to her.

Necrodius like the winter, so even colder temperatures than many other creatures are still very tolerable to them. However, extreme ones will leave them running for warmer temperatures and I will have them react accordingly if they cannot get to them.

I do have a few characters though who are more akin to elemental-ish in their regard to accepting the cold of winter. In fact, the colder the better. Its hot weather that hurts them.

Presea dresses warm...ish. She wears boots, and one of her inventions is an item that despite having a bare midriff, protects against cold and enemy attacks. She calls it the loni kyle. But she isn't wearing it...I imagine she slightly did her own clothes, boots, and gloves this way.

However, Presea does feel cold, she just doesn't react...
She will walk slightly slower, and obviously, she'd sort of "Shut down" if she was out too long or it was too cold, but she doesn't huddle or shiver.

So instead of *Shiver* O-oh m-m-man i-i-it's s-so cold!! *Huddle*

It's more like..
*Walking* My body temperature has dropped by 10% (Or something...i'm not a biologist, sorry if that would kill you or something >.<) "Hot water will raise the tempuratre. " -Walking towards tavern.-

If she doesn't make it, she'd just flop down on the ground. She doesn't normally talk much.

I don't think I have ever played a character, supernatural or human that did not feel the weather. It's not my style, I kind of like the idea of characters reacting to the cold.

I couldn't resist when I saw that part you said about flopping down.
