Hey guys!

This was something I came up with and asked the players of my rp, but I was also wondering about you guys and what your experiences have been as well. I'm curious to hear about your favourite rps and your favourite characters that you've played :D And I might also make a couple of discussion threads about this, idk. c: I'm just being super nosy and curious. XD

[hider=Pach's Favourite RPs][u][b]RPs[/b][/u]

[b]Tales of the World:[/b] Naturally this one comes in first! I've never ran or played an rp that ever achieved this much consistency or success, and gotten as far as this one has before with the quality it's gotten, so I'm massively, massively happy about that. And of course, it's all thanks to the players of it. This rp introduced me to Fox and Kathi and it's been nothing but an awesome trip since the start! There's so many different concepts and themes and setups and it's just been so much fun to be able to tell the long running story I have in mind without it falling apart and collapsing before I can achieve it. Everyone's characters and ideas and their writing has just been so phenomenal and so much [i]fun[/i]. They all make me so happy, and I can't thank them enough for that. :')

Fox's [b]Midnight Train to Nowhere:[/b] Whilst I wasn't a part of this rp for too long, I have to say it was one of the most fun and exciting experiences I've been a part of, and I managed to meet so many cool new people from it too c| Fox, Kathi and Kei's story and world is so immaginative, exciting, creative and fun. The level of detail and forethought and planning is impeccable, and I still stalk it to this day >8D I'm personally hoping Fox's players pick the super wrong and horrible end. A part of me wishes I could have still stayed in so I could have been a nasty bastard and had my character help steer things to that end, but alas D|< Keep doing what you guys do best, because you're doing an absolutely amazing job.

Bentleee's [b]Black Rainbows:[/b] This was the rp where I first met Rex on our old forum 8D It had one of the most interesting concepts for an rp I've seen yet:- Set within Hell, it details a ritual/game where the 'devil' offers a number of his denizens the chance to redeem their souls if they're able to pass three of his trials that each get successively more and more dangerous, something no prior contestants have been able to achieve. It was a lot of fun to play with, having a group of characters who were all essentially bad, evil or untrustworthy, have to work together or use each other in order to progress and survive the trials they were faced with... and genuinely exciting to see how things would turn, especially considering at the end of the day the game was being ran by the devil, and who can honestly take his word at face value? 

[b]Forest of the Future:[/b] This rp was interesting because it started with the rp creator writing one post with like two lines about a beautiful sunny day in a forest where anything was possible and then... vanishing. Normally an rp like that would be dead out of the door, but this one not only managed to keep going without a GM, but did so successfully. Everyone who was within the rp pulled together and helped communicate and set things up for everyone else, and together we managed to make a pretty distinct and interesting story and world. Anyway was possible was right. I literally felt a level up in my rping and GMing skills from that rp, hehe. The actual topic creator popped back for a post about a year later and was like 'WTF HOW DID YOU GUYS DO THIS?!', was fun. c|[/hider]

The man. The legend. The king of cool himself. 

BIG BRO [b]DON CAPUELLO[/b]

I have never before created or played a character so fun and interesting and diverse and open for so many different possible reactions. I have so much freedom with Don, it's amazing. Normally it's super hard to write a bizarre and wacky character in an rp because it doesn't make sense or fit the tone of the rp, but Don does, and I'm super happy for that. I get to tap into my inner manliness, childhood stupidity and love for 80s rock and roll and come up with pure silliness. I mean, I've had him dance and sing like Michael Jackson, be dressed up and pretend to be a superhero, and have him perform the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhtednkzJl4]coolest rock concert ever.[/url] And it all fits within the IC context. Wtf. And there's still a deep character behind him. I've never been more satisfied with an rp character before then I have with Don. 8D I think every rp should have a wild horse character like him! He'll be back. c|

[b]Jack[/b]

Jack first appeared in Black Rainbows as one of the trialers' antagonists, leading the second ritual. He's a lot of fun because he's over the top and bombastic- he allows me to really overplay formal, british characteristics, whilst at the same time... being absolutely psycopathic. He's sick and madly twisted. You all have a good idea of how evil I am... and Jack's the incarnation of that. Someone who's polite, pleasant and punctual, even whilst horribly stabbing you in the chest. In Black Rainbows, I had him give the cast a day of rest after the first trial, and even helped heal their wounds before he promised them that the second trial would start the following day. He kept to his word, by starting it at midnight on the dot and inflicting an entire massacre of the people staying at the hotel the trialers were at (all whilst he was playing the piano in the centre of it at the hotel's bottom). And to add insult to injury, he framed those heroes for it, and tasked them with proving their innocence. 

What a jerk. 

Jack made his comeback in Tales in our Vandrell horror chapter, although his actions there as the butler were a bit more muted. However that was all just setup and foreshadowing for the future, because when Jack makes his comeback, something I've already made great plans for... let's just say it's going to be one hell of a fun sick and twisted nightmare. >8D

[b]Estelle Fenix[/b]

My shonen esque character >8D

I have a lot of fun writing her. I don't know why in particular, I just think her personality's infectious. It infects all of her companions and me too, haha. Being stupid helps a lot too. I don't know, I think sometimes it can be really dangerous and difficult to have a main character/leader who doesn't become overly mary sue-ish or cliche and trite. I don't know if I'm succeeding with Estelle, but I like to try my best and make her a fun character to read and follow. Hopefully I'm doing okay? Haha. 

[b]Honourable mention:[/b]

[b]Elaine Wyfoot[/b]

Characters with fun personalities just tend to be whom I find fun, I guess? Haha. I didn't really write much for her, but I had fun with her concept as a woman who wants to be a mother but can't, asserting herself as a mother to others. She acts as someone a lot younger then she actually is, and acts kind of stupid and immature, but is actually incredibly serious and deep and skilled at what she does. Plus, chakrams are fun, and she's the one who forever ruined Lucien's opportunities to get a romance with a girl in this rp the moment she dubbed him Lucy. 

She'll also be back. c|[/hider]
