Huzzah! Let's start a Bible roleplay! xD I'm not making fun of the idea, that would be really cool if some people got together and did that. But I just found it funny at the same time.
On the subject of the thread:
Oh dear, lifelessdol_13. D: I was in the same situation as you not too long ago. I had joined an Angel and Demon roleplay. I've done a few of those, actually. Mostly, I am an Angel. But there was one difference in a few--I joined as a Demon. I didn't feel too horrible because the Demon was not based on me. I hated my character in most, though I did admittedly fall into the 'good bad-guy' thing and make my Demon wish he were an Angel. But the person behind the character is not the character. I was an evil character, yes, but when it comes to fictional things, adding evil is not a bad thing. If everything is good all the time, then how can you show people the triumph and victory that good has over evil? If Harry Potter was sunshine and bunnies, where is the meaning? You need the contrast to be able to see the good. Without evil, the fact that there is good there doesn't have much meaning. Does this make sense?
I once wondered to my Youth Leader if writing about spirits and demons in my story was bad. She said that as long as the evil does not triumph over the good, then no it isn't a bad thing. If I joined the roleplay as a Demon with the intent to lose and have good prevail, then I am adding to the good of the roleplay, aren't I? I've just totally sidetracked--you weren't even talking about roleplaying as a Demon, were you? I suppose I was just attempting to defend myself. biggrin So human of me.
I know exactly what you are feeling, though. When another character says things that are so against what you believe and what the truth is, they are such lies, you just don't want to hear or read them. In my cases, I just wanted to quit, or tell the person that their character is so wrong. When it happens to me, I feel afraid that the person who controls the character actually believes what their character says, or that someone reading it or another member of the roleplay will read it and find that they believe it.

I mostly put a bit of myself into my characters. Only twice have I decided to intentionally make them someone that I hate, to better add to the story. It isn't weird to do that--most people do. It's hard not to put yourself in the character, actually. And I think the entire roleplaying experience is better when you do, because then you are attached to the character, and you put more feeling into your responses, and therefore you get better responses in return, and you feel like you're actually in the roleplay at times. That and your character is always more consistent and realistic when based upon yourself.
What was the story about? I highly doubt that it was evil or bad at all--it may have dark themes, but that doesn't make it bad. In art, for example. You have a plain white sheet of paper. You add dark lines to it so it isn't blank anymore. You shade it darker to highlight the lighter places. It makes it interesting. Of course, this does not relate to real life at all, only writing. In real life, the dark parts don't make things better at all. But in a work of fiction, like I said before, what is the point of writing about good if there is no evil involved?
I don't think there is anything wrong with writing disturbing and dark things. It is supposed to make your skin crawl, so you hate the evil and you want to good to prevail. And when it does, the story is satisfying. My story is twisted. Not the story line itself, but the content--once I actually begin writing it.
Your story is not evil unless you praise the evil in it. If evil wins and good dies, then the story is evil, I think. That's when it crosses the line. Maybe a story could be bad, also, if it speaks lies as the truth and brings people to believe it. But I suppose none of this is for me to decide--I am mere human. Sometimes it is hard for us to remember this, but we do not have the authority to condemn others or claim that something is evil unless God has already said it.

it is about a group of children, three girls and three guys, at first, the girls are princesses from the middle realm, because spirit world was used and i didn't feel like using that title. the main character who is based off me is a fire princess who was chosen to rule over the middle realm by god, but due to a war she had to flee like the others, they find safety on earth and pose as humans, are found by an angel called Eliot who is the brother of Gabriel, but lost a few ranks after falling inlove with a human that later gets ate by demons, he trains the young ones to fight a great threat that is an escaped demon known as nekama, she wasnte the power of the princessess and would do anything for it. the only bad guys are demons. i made one of the good guys a dragon, and people pull a fit. saying he should be evil dragons are evil! it makes me sick.
