OC Relationships

Thought I'd make a little Blog post about this, but some people may be confused when it comes to Roleplaying with an OC who's been written to be in a preexisting relationship.

Now, this may not apply to everybody, but it DOES apply to me and how my characters are.

The thing is that preexisting relationships are established for the overall description of the character and their growth. In group roleplay's, more often than not, the relationships they have STAY because I'm not doing a strict romance with one other person. However, in a 1v1 scenario any character that has a relationship can be ignored, since it's for the sake of a new storyline. Think of it like an entirely different universe.
In a group, the original universe relationship still exists, but in a 1v1 it's an AU so it can both not exist or exist depending on the genres in play.

And that's it! Short and sweet. So now that you know this, don't be afraid to engage in a romance with my characters who have a relationship in their bios, because for all you know I could just write it out for the sake of simplicity on both ends.
