What's this place?

[Escud]

No clue how I got here but I might as well check if there's an opportunity to broaden my horizons.

Hey, @Escud. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how I got here either, so you're not alone! The Guild is quite active and people are very nice, so I'm sure you'll find something to interest you (or you can start your own rp). Just let us know if you have any questions. We also have a discord server if you wanna chat with folks in real time.

Anyway, welcome!

It's a website for Roleplayers to gather. Welcome. How did you come across us?

[Naw]

Welcome.

@Hyde @Vampiretwilight

Honestly? I was looking up anime pictures and one of them linked to this place, heh! XD

I've been RPing for nearly 20 years and didn't know this place existed, but I guess I haven't indulged in post by post forums until fairly recently.

@ Everyone Else: Thanks m8s.

@Escud

That's a hell of an origin story. Well, now that you're here, we're happy to have you in any case. Where have you been Roleplaying up until now if you don't mind me asking? And what are you looking to write?

@Hyde

Well, let's see. I started my RPing career way back in 2000 (wow, I guess it's been that long, huh?) and my main platform for RPing were these things called MUs, or MUDs, don't know if you're familiar with them. Basically an upgrade from Telnet that a lot of people used for RPing, it is (and continues) to be a pretty ghetto way of RPing IMO, but I digress. Anyway, I stopped using MUs a while back since life just got too hectic and I couldn't spend whole evenings RPing anymore. I debated quitting RPing as a whole but I couldn't just drop something I've been doing for 20 years cold turkey like that. So, a few years ago I started dipping my feet in post by post forums and it's been a hectic journey, apparently there's not that many of them available- which is why I'm surprised I all of the sudden ran into this site, not sure how it escaped my notice.

As for RPing; I enjoy the most combat and adventure. I dabble mostly in fighting game fandoms like Mortal Kombat, King of Fighter and such-- yes, it's a niche within a niche which is why I've had such a hard time finding RPs. However, I thoroughly enjoy Pathfinder/Dungeons and Dragons and my RPing involves a lot of fantasy dungeon crawling as well. My weakest genre for sure is Sci-Fi, but I will dabble in it if I have a good idea. Also, rather surprisingly, I used to have a seething hatred for slice of life and romance, I guess because I considered them slow and boring, but after moving to post by post forums I've grown rather fond of the genres. That said-- they still need to have combat sprinkled in them or I'll be bored to tears.

Yep.. that's me I guess.

EDIT: Ah yes! I forgot to mention that I really like crossovers. Probably my favorite genre honestly.

[Chuuya]

Long response about interests go here.

@Escud

I've never heard of MUs or MUDs before now. I suppose that Roleplaying will happen wherever there is people interested in writing and using their imagination, huh? In any case, it looks like you have a diverse list of interests and hopefully you can find what you're looking for. You look like someone who could benefit from this section, this section, this section, or maybe even this section. If you have any further questions about the website then don't hesitate to ask either. Most of us are pretty friendly and happy to help whenever.

Also I agree that crossovers are among the best genre. Haven't done one in years, but I've always loved them.

@Hyde

Thx m8, I’ll check em out. One thing I don’t really understand is how to make character profiles here. I prefer to make character sheets and face claims, but from the looks of it that appears to be optional. Is there like a guide I can look at?

@Escud

Based on my experience here, character sheets tend to be developed on a Roleplay-per-Roleplay basis. This section is specifically meant for character sheets that you want to create or store, whether they're for a Roleplay or simply because you're transferring them from another site. You could probably store them here too if you'd prefer. Most Roleplays, with the exception of any marked as "Jump-In", will specifically outline what character sheet they want in the Roleplay's interest check or OOC.

I hope that answers your question in that regard. I'm not sure if there is a specific guide for that, but you can find quite a few helpful ones here. I was using it as my lifeline when I first started here since the BBCode is slightly different from what I'm usually used to.

@Hyde

Thank you very much. I'll check 'em out!

[tobiax]

... However, I thoroughly enjoy Pathfinder/Dungeons and Dragons...
