 Roleplay often involves conflict. Whether that conflict is played out in conversation or combat, the piper must be paid: consequences will happen. Who chooses the exact circumstances of those consequences is up to the players involved in the roleplay, but sometimes they can snowball. Take, for instance, the appointment of Anakin Skywalker to sit on the Jedi Council in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. As Mace Windu said, "You are on the Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master." Ultimately, this appointment and subsequent comment eventually lead to Anakin giving himself over to the Dark Side only to eventually become Darth Vader.
Whereas you may believe that your character plays no part in the story of another, they may play a vital role in turning the tide of their story or creating a small moment of conflict where previously there was none. However, for those moments of conflict that do leave a mark (be it psychological or physical), there may be a long lasting impact on your character's roleplay.
This Force Reflection asks how you, as a player, handle roleplaying out the physical and/or psychological repercussions left behind by conflict? Or do you not role play them out at all?

 No matter what kind of character you play, you'll eventually find another character trying to put 'the moves' on yours just like Lando Calrissian would to anything pretty enough to catch his eye. Even some Jedi, like the eternally theatrical Anakin Skywalker, tried his best to flirt with his future wife, Padmé, much to the chagrin of anyone with a brain or acting experience. In games like The Old Republic, flirting becomes a fun opportunity. Whether you like it or not, half of the time people walk into a cantina there's going to be a fair amount of winking, cheesy one-liners, and needless shoulder rubbing much like Lando's discovery of Leia upon her arrival to Bespin. Be they spies looking to get information from an Imperial citizen with pretty eyes and loose lips, or a Sith attempting to turn a naive Jedi to aid the dark side, flirting is a powerful tool that many characters can use, abuse, or run away from like the plague. What about your character? Do they flirt to advance their goals, or do they just have an eye for good looking things and a mouth big enough to voice it? Shout it out in the comments!
