Of course, knowledge of that anime isn't needed, but be in the mindset of "How can I spin this character into a parody" when making your people.


Guilty.

I was focusing more on the comedic potential of the character and less on making him a parody of an existing trope.

I'll look into revising.
Done and done.

Just a little uh... status update from me as I sit off in my corner here.

My character sheet is pretty much done at this point.

Gonna give it a final pass later tonight when I have time.

That's all.

You may return to your regularly scheduled memes.
hey, this’ll be one of my first tines rping, so if i get sonething wrong or anything, i apologise PROFUSELY.


Hey, we all start somewhere.

But if that's your attitude, then I think you'll be just fine.

Here's a few pointers that are helpful to keep in mind as you go.

1) Be sure to keep the perspective consistent, whether that's first-person or third-person. I think most people tend to be offput by first-person roleplaying but that doesn't mean you can't do it. Just sorta... watch everyone else and go with the flow.

Edit: On a similar note, it helps to keep the verb tense consistent too. Whether your posts are past or present-tense is generally up to you.

2) Proof-reading. I personally encourage taking a moment after you're done typing up a post. Don't immediately post it. Do something else for a bit to clear your mind, then return to your post and read through it. You'll be amazed how many spelling and grammar errors you find, as well as ways to improve its flow. You miss these kind of things as you're spit-balling ideas onto a notepad.

3) On the topic of notepads... spell check is a wonderful tool for new roleplayers and veterans alike. No one's perfect so it helps to have something double-checking our work. There are a number of free alternatives to Microsoft Word that provide this functionality too. Of course it's not the end of the world if you have an error here or there, and no one cares how you talk in OOC (Out Of Character) chat. It's just a courtesy to clean up those posts for everyone else who'll be reading them.
Anyone else going for a hyper-cheery brawler by chance? Because I'm currently toying with a hyper-cheery and superbly innocent brawler.


Can't say I am.

I'm still pleased with my concept for Pike.

The erm... 'life insurance' was just a means of allowing him to make grievous errors.

In hindsight, it's probably not something I could get away with among people who aren't acquainted with my brand of shenanigans.

Heck, I can even amplify his negative traits now that he has no such armor.

As much as I love the enthusiasm, unfortunately immortality isn't really what I am looking for. Definitely stay with that energy though, I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.


Sure, no problem.

I see the comedic potential in having a human sacrifice on hand.

But I wasn't married to the idea by any means.
Hey.

If you tell me to be crazy...

I will pull no punches.

Of course I'm willing to change that if it's overruled.
Here's a teaser of the mess to come...

Also I apologize for any typos. On a phone right now and autocorrect is not my friend.

Right here! Just ignore the fine print that says you surrender your soul and I'll have the OOC up soon!


I would...

But...

I'm pretty sure I already sold it for a sandwich last year.

One of those, um...

"Careful whatcha wish for" moments.
Light hearted?

Barely qualified?!

Hijinks?!?!
