Grammar
tense while Role playing
I regularly Role play, and occasionally I find someone that does this , I find it annoying to no end
~He would walk through the doors of the tavern with the hood that conceals his face in darkness, hovering over his face. The aura that would outline his body would seem to grow thick. His long skinny fingers would seem to stretch out to the very furniture of the tavern. The souls of the underworld, seeming to lash out unto his feet. This process would repeat itself every time he would enter this tavern. The very robe that would seem to impale his body would floak around him like a large sheet. His scythe would be clutched in his left hand as the gold long handle of it would gleam. The very footsteps of him would echo in the minds of all, seeming to be a dream as his vision would become blurry. He would smrik from under the hood, a wide smirk at that, reveealing his wolf fangs, althought they cannot be seen from teh darkness of the hood. His very slim body would seem to jolt towards the edge of the cabin, where he would post up against it, crimson eyes studying teh very crevices of the floorboard. His appearance at the moment would reap peoples minds, giving them the thought that his sanity was not stable. He would smirk feeling the energy of the others in the room. A single crow would flock around him, landing on his shoulder. He would stand firm, still looking towards the ground with such observation, burning his mind. The flames of the underworld would seem to reflect in his eyes, the souls penetrating his own, giving him thoughts that were sure to make a bad impression on himself. He would shake the feeling off as the crows wings would flap along its sides. His smirk would widen as he would now look up, eyes jet black~
this persons excuse was
Well if you would look into the depth of roleplay you would see that it is not you that is talking....which means as the character would do things...you would read that post...meaning that it has already happened...its not happening at the moment technically...if the post is being read.
Is he in anyway correct? In my eye it looks like he is just trying to be difficult and different
Thanks In Advance

I don't think that this way of writing is correct. " The use of would in this sentence indicates repetition, this is something that he routinely does. Something that has already happened should instead be in the past tense: He walked through the doors of the tavern...

- Either his fangs are revealed or they aren't.
