Hi! I'm new here so feel free to completely disregard anything I say.

Would it be possible to roleplay a shy character on the particular MUD? I've done this with other MUDs and have gotten one or more of the following reactions:

-Someone sees my shy character and offers to take her "under their wing" As she grew out of her shyness, people on the MUD started saying IC "I remember what a shy lass she was back then. Now look at her!" Obviously, this is the best of the reactions.

-People ignore my character. Pure and simple.

-People assume I'm doing some other kind of roleplay.

-People label my character as stuck-up, a snob. (Especially when I am playing an elf. Te-hee-hee!)

-When people send me tells, I reply to them "I walk alone." Then they start to bug me about it and won't leave me alone.

Etc....

I know this is probably an idiotic question, but what the hey.

(And if it is possible, can anyone offer me suggestions about what specific race/class combination I can use this roleplay in?)
