anti-rp
Playing a role-playing game as yourself.
Anti-RP means playing as a character who is named after you, is a human, gender is the same, looks generally the same, and the way you play the character is generally your ideal way of playing. So, if you are playing World of Warcraft, and your favorite class is hunter, you'd play as a hunter. If your favorite professions are mining and herbalist, you do those things. One cannot fully anti-RP until they know exactly how they prefer to play the game they are not RPing in.
Most people have common names, so if it's impossible to use your legal name, using variations of your name or using a common nickname can work too.
