What does rp mean? Internet term R
P is mostly understood as an online shorthand, and there are many meanings. At present, the most common meaning is "character", which refers to luck.
Example: It is often said that someone's RP (character) has broken out, or when someone encounters something more embarrassing, others jokingly describe it as an RP (character) problem.
RP is character
First of all, we need to know what RP is. RP is character, which is the abbreviation of the Chinese pinyin Rén Pn. Character originally means a person's character, but in the Internet age, this word has undergone certain innovation.
In a broad sense, any phenomenon that cannot be determined by science and is not within the acceptable scope of science can be explained by character, that is, character is an objective existence covering the macroscopic and microscopic world; in a narrow sense, character is also called fortune, which is derived from the individual to the whole, thus affecting the development of the entire universe.
The Nature of RP (Character)
Character exists objectively and is independent of human will.
Character is ubiquitous and omnipotent.
Character is absolute and is not affected by any external force.
Character is uncertain and has a certain probability.
The source of RP (character)
Character has two meanings in some online games:
The first is your luck. For example, if you get some rare and reckless equipment, others will say that you have a "good character", which means that you are lucky.
The second was the character of your game player. For example, if a piece of equipment belonged to a mage, and a player as a warrior snatched this piece of equipment, others would say that the warrior had "poor character". On the contrary, if another mage did not own this piece of equipment and was willing to give it away unconditionally, others would say that he had "good character".
Of course, the second statement is the original explanation. Here we mainly focus on the first one.
The term character originated from Blizzard's popular game Diablo II. At one point, there was a rumor that the game contained a hidden attribute similar to "character". Different actions of players will affect their character value, and higher character value will have a higher rate of treasure loss. Character value can only be reduced but not increased, that is, the player's character value is the highest at the beginning, and gradually decreases as the "bad thing" is done more later (similar to the Law of Entropy Generation). Behaviors that affect character include desecration of the dead (travelers who see dead on the road, go to their bodies to obtain gold coins and items) and cowering (opening the portal when fighting the boss).
This rumor has not been officially confirmed by Blizzard, but it has spread like wildfire among players, especially domestic players. There are unbelievers and believers. But whether the rumor is true or not, most players will use this statement to make fun of each other, calling some bad luck phenomena "character problems". Since Chinese cannot be entered during game chat, it is usually abbreviated as RPWT. Since then, the term "character problems" has become popular and is no longer limited to Diablo games. Now the application scope of this statement has become more universal. Since character is reflected in probabilistic events and is uncertain, people usually call unreasonable or difficult-to-explain events character problems (RPWT).
Overall, character affects the probability of a favorable event, and this probability can reflect a person's luck, so character represents luck.
English translation of RP (character): bearing, character, moral quality, moral standing
