[rp] I kind of....want to play a character from Call the Midwife (YES, I KNOW.) but I'm intimidated by real world historical backdrops for my Sci fi/fantasy RP hobby
boodle boy
I know people DO play from mundane settings quite often in RP
boodle boy
I just haven't personally done it yet so it SEEMS insurmountable
boodle boy
Namely because I of course, don't want the entire crux of a character to be bein baffled by the setting
boodle boy
But I suppose that's more character specific than anything else
boodle boy
There's a lot of graceful ways to handle that...I've seen people handle it in all sorts of ways

I LOVE CALL THE MIDWIFE
Ptriciadactyl
which character?
boodle boy
ME TOO MAN, MORE THAN I EVER, EVER EXPECTED
boodle boy
Trixie
boodle boy
I was talking with
fermentingbones
when we watched the new season and realised she could work surprisingly well in RP
Ptriciadactyl
Trixie has had such good character growth
boodle boy
she really does 
Ptriciadactyl
I appreciate her a lot. I'm only a few eps into the new season, because when I was out at my mom's house this weekend, she was lamenting, "I WISH THERE WAS MORE CALL THE MIDWIFE TO WATCH," and lo! a season had been added since last we checked!
boodle boy
LMAO
boodle boy
It's a gift, really

Omg I'd jump on that immediately
Ptriciadactyl
I feel like as long as they're a character with plenty of depth, you'll be fine. For instance, fantasy characters never encountered technology before they go to sci fi settings.
Ptriciadactyl
and Trixie is a good character.
Ptriciadactyl
I really love when things like that happen. Characters adjusting to foreign settings. i.e. Rosethorn with a robot helper.

And not just because I wanna bounce Jacky off of her

I never thought a show ostensibly all about childbirth would become one of My Faves but here we are

I love Trixie
fermentingbones
I FEEL LIKE
fermentingbones
WITH TRIXIE
fermentingbones
She's so just
fermentingbones
task-oriented
fermentingbones
And organized
fermentingbones
I feel like her response to being somewhere completely alien would be
fermentingbones
Pause
fermentingbones
Clasps hands
fermentingbones
Alright! Let's look for the few things here I do recognize and work from there
fermentingbones
Like, I don't think she'd be very easily rattled. I feel like her response to being rattled is Don't Show It And Drink Babycham
fermentingbones
LIKE INTERNALLY WHO KNOWS, but externally I think she'd do her best, and that would be fun i think
fermentingbones
I LOVE TRIXIE AND VERY MUCH WANT YOU TO PLAY HER
boodle boy
YEAH.
fermentingbones
I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW GOOD SHE WOULD BE IN RP
fermentingbones
i think since she's been a series regular the longest she is just So Rich character-wise

I don't watch this but I had a friend who played her and she seems great!
MINun
I play a lot of characters from mundane settings, or setting where everything is really foreign to them, and honestly you can have them adjust to it! There's probably always going to be new things, but it's not a constant state of them being baffled by everything.

I've thought about Patsy before and run into the same issue
