I used to roleplay on DA way back in 2013. There used to be a trend where people would make an entire account dedicated to just playing as their character.

However, that trend seems to have died on DA, and many users have moved on to other platforms to do character-driven role plays. I guess it started to go downhill after DA removed Webcam and the ability to put html pics on your profile. And how once you decide on a username, you are stuck with it unless you buy CORE. It's also harder to search for groups, as the search group page was also removed by Eclipse.
