So we all know the trolls are cool kids and have those typing quirks but everyone else has got their own way of typing too. So I'm curious! What particular habits do ya'll's characters have when they type? What little things from their personalities carry over when they "talk"?
Normally Vivi's just pretty average with her typing, she ain't too lazy most of the time to double check her spelling and punctuation. That's about as formal as she gets though, sorry. She don't really care about proper grammar most of the time. She also has a habit of kind of drifting on her train of thought and will forget the period before she moves onto the next thing Unless she's wanting to emphasize something, then she'll just. kinda. abuse them. Right now though, she's kinda relyin onna speech ta text thing so her accent's kinda fuckin everythin right the hell up. Right now she don care enough ta go back and fix everythin even if she could see it or ee nun see ate shit so fuck it. She's annoyed enough at havin ta say all the brackets and numbers and punctuation and shit out loud cut er some slack
Ari's very formal with her typing a lot of the time, though she will occasionally pepper her text with emoticons ^v^ There's unfortunately not a lot to her's at the moment...I haven't developed her as much yet. But we'll see how that goes later.
Antheia starts off well. But then she starts getting more nervous and then things just start going down hill and oh gosh it is hard to worry about punctuation or capitilizing things or even spelling when you're this nervous oh geez She's really sorry though she knows it can be hard to read! She's trying to get better about not doing the huge run on sentences shes really is but unfortunately she's just not succeeding at all I'm so sorry

AA usually types in a fairly standard sort of way, though tends towards somewhat long, complex sentences. A lot of the time, the color changes sie puts in mid-sentence are meant to help people follow the clauses, and sie never changes mid-clause. Rarely uses curses casually; if sie's saying 'fuck', AA is probably really upset.
Also has a bad habit of leaving off the subject of sentences when it's already clear--a fair number of the people in the group she grew up with didn't have english as their first language, and sometimes kept grammatical structures from their first when they were speaking english. It works better than you might expect.

Oh this is pretty cool. Hm. Lemme think.
Chris tends to speak with proper grammar and all that mumble jumble because she's got a pretty high up position on this here forum, even though she tends to throw in words that make her sound like shes talking silly, and she has a love of droning on and on in to eternity. She likes the sound of her voice. Or the colour of her text. Or something. She also tends to make things in to lists because; 1) There was a Seer of Law in her first session who had an obsession with lists and it's rubbed off on her. 2) Lists are cool. Why wouldn't you like lists? 3) There is no number 3 go away. (occasionally shell have too many feelings and shell slip on the brackets were everything is just tOO MUCH TO HANDLE AND SHE FORGETS HOW TO GRAMMAR)
thomas doesnt understand the concept of inserting grammar in to sentances and when he does he always ends up using three so if he were to quote someone it would be """along these lines""" because shit why not throw three at people because one is a lonely number and two can be as bad as one but three is the shit he gives everyone four letter nicknames based on their handles and gets incredibly confused when he cant because their handle is too short or whatever also he tends to ramble on about bullshit and thinks of himself as the worlds greatest sarcasm speaker also also if you stop pestering him he will keep talking to you for a good few lines because why the fuck not
Tom, first and foremost, makes a very big distinction between us (himself and his ectotwin/sister) and you/them/whatever (everyone else). To put this simply, we say we instead of "I". We're pretty damn lazy and can never be bothered to specify who we're talking too because you're all unimportant to us and we are the only things that matter. We being Tom and Lucy. While we're a dick to everyone, we're incredibly kind to Lucy because Lucy is all we have really. But yeah, to everyone else we're a huge big nasty dick and we love making fun of them, even when they're trying to help us. We also tend to use sentances that run on and on because we can't be bothered to put a full stop even when we really should have ended the sentance by now because lets face it this is quite boring.
Lucy also makes a big distinction between us (herself and her ectotwin/brother) and you lot/you/them/etc etc (everyone else). We're a very kind person and always make sure to define who we're talking to like so: --technicolourCapitalist-- We always make sure to thank others for help and we try to keep Tom inline even if we're pretty terrible at it. Tom's all we've got after all. Despite how much we try to be kind towards others, we will always put that first. We also use pretty big words.
Totally wrote way too much there. Woops.

iD types pretty well grammar- and syntax- wise, and she's pretty careful about spelling, but she has trouble remembering some of the little things like plurals- e.g. whether it's "some moose" or "some mooses". She capitalizes Important Things and as She gets More and More Upset She Capitalizes More And More Often. That doesn't happen too frequently, though. She also has this odd giggle-cackle laugh, which sounds kind of like 'ihihi' and is thus typed out like that when she is particularly amused. Smilies show up sometimes, usually with the laugh, but she doesn't mistake them for punctuation or anything, ihihi. >

Well...
Vitt (gA) uses caps without rhyme and reason, but always capitalizes Game stuff, like Aspects, Titles, Moons, Lands etc... and also names of his friends. his punctuation is also bad usually not putting commas or periods where they belong. uses British spelling for some words like colour or armour. also, his grammar may be atrocious, especially if he is drunk :U Expect a lot og tyspoes *of typos from drunk!Vitt. Angry drunk Vitt may switch randomly into Polish (worry not it is usually insults) 8T Frequent use of emotes B]
Diovis (rP) uses caps only when referring to a person he respects, like You, He, or I, also names (he stops capitalizing "i" when his self esteem is down) and game abstractions (Aspect, Title) never uses periods, but he uses other punctuation properly! tends to derive nicknames from handles and call people with this, unless he dislikes the person, then he would use abbreviated handle (like aA) when he respects and likes a person, he uses their name, or the honorifics, like "Sir", or "Lady" (usually reserved for the Founders), he refers to other bearers of his Class as "Fellow [Class]", for example: "Fellow Knight", "Fellow Bane" etc. each new sentence deserves a paragraph his emoticons are sparse, and horned }:]
lusina (dE) never capitalizes the first letter in her paragraph, even her own name, but uses normal caps and punctuation otherwise, except for the final period in the paragraph, which she misses. She uses a bit formal style of speech and never swears may not capitalize game terminology. Usually uses proper grammar and spelling. Never emotes
Yervoy types with mostly proper grammar and syntax. Sometimes may add additional characters to a word if he is sarcastiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic. Sometimes uses CAPS and ends sentences with EXCLAMATION POINTS for emphasis!! His emotes are also adorned with straight horns =:) Changes his typing colors very often, unless he is serious or with a person that knows his blood color, then he types in black.

Hmm...let me think.
Cyma used to tYpe lIke sO, until she ate a weird bug. She's generally very careful about spelling things correctly and using proper grammar and tends to be rather embarrassed when she realizes that she's spelled something wrong.
When drunk, she tpyos alot an knda dosn't notice. WHen sTressed oR aNgry, sHe rEsorts tO hEr oLd qUIrk fOr cOmfort.

Ginny's pretty long and rambley in the sense that she just goes on for long run on sentances either because she's just a bit of a chatterbox in real life or she simply thinks far fastr than she writes and she just never proofreads so she's got these huge sentances and the occasional typo and such.
Violet's to the point in her typing, and tends to have good spelling and grammar though she may not always add periods to the ends of sentences. Doesn't curse a whole lot
Miras doesnt really care if she uses proper seplling or grammar so long as what she writes is legible to others. it gets aa lot worse wen she drinkz.

Adam tries his best to type with perfect grammar and spelling, but he screws up sometimes. HE also may screw up capitalization, by accidentally capitalizing the second letter in a word that's supposed to be capitalized, or by not capitalizing when needed to.
