Bio

Just your average anime watching/video gaming young adult. And, of course, the occasional RP.

I build computers as a hobby! My first build and my second build!

Oof, how do I even begin? This is an idea I've been trying to make a thing for a long time, and my previous attempts always flopped, due to life being...life, and having to pay bills and get a job and all that awful nonsense, but whatever, you don't care about that. What you do care about though is what this thing is ABOUT!

The Idris Protective Force, you see, is a military. A very big military, containing exactly two point three million troops, all encompassed within a fort the size of New York City. Their mission? To fight off the hordes of demons and other beings attempting to upset the balance of light and dark. Due to being so big, executing missions on a small, but still very important scale, is somewhat difficult. Therefore, the Commander of the force, a man by the name of Isaac, has greenlit the creation of a special task force exclusively for the purposes of nipping potential problems in the bud. They will be composed of people from various walks of life, and even worlds, all who show enormous potential for power.

I'll toss more details into this as I dredge them up from the old trash I wrote in the past. Also some notes. One, I've gotten into FFXIV a ton recently(can you call 2400 hours recent though?) So, expect lots of references to that. At the very least, you'll see races from it(albeit, not exactly adhering to FFXIV lore. I get to exercise some artistic license don't I?) You're also going to see plot twists galore, big beasties, maybe a big robot or two, demons by the dozen, a trap, and maybe even a trip to Dunkin Donuts!(?)
Also, I like to make lore, a lot. When/if the OOC goes up, I'll be putting up a sizeable amount of it, and will of course be expecting any entering characters to adhere to it. I will tell you this right now though. Crazy robotic cyborgs and demons are excluded from the Idris recruitment flyers. Also excluded is godmodders, auto-hitters, people going awol for more than two days from post to post, people getting too kissy kiss with other characters(not to say there won't be romance, but cmon guys lets at least start the first mission!), people killing important npcs or other characters without my/their express permission, and wall-hacks(?). I want to make this an epic journey with everybody, and I feel those are all things that can kinda kill the mood(in the case of romance, I feel like small dollops of it spice up a story, too much just drowns it out. You feel me?)
As I said earlier, I'm still dredging up and creating the lore, so I welcome any assistance, since this'll be as much your story as mine. As the RP goes on, events that occur during it will obviously also become lore, and will be recorded by me of course. This will hold through future mission RPs, even should the characters in said events come to a disastrous end.
I did post this in the Casual section, so I am of course expecting at least one to two paragraphs(although the more is better!) A fundamental understanding of the english language as far as spelling and grammar goes is required. And if at any point a member of the rp struggles with putting together a post, I encourage them to shoot me a PM so I can assist them.
Lastly, I will be beginning the RP with a max of seven characters, four minimum(this is including myself). As the RP(s) go on, I will open more spots in the roster, likely maxing out at twelve.


Thank you for reading my rambling, and if anybody has any questions, advice, or would like to express interest, please post! I will open the OOC upon getting interest posts from at least two other people. As I said at the beginning, this isn't my first shot at this, and I'd like to take this moment to apologize to any members of my previous RPs for my random dissapearances. Life is stable now, and such, so will be my commitment to the guild.
Man, I'm so sorry guys. Comcast shut off our internet and refused to turn it back on until we paid in full, unlike the past where we were allowed to do it in installments. Couple that with me going to a tracfone with a tiny data allowance, and I wasn't able to get on the Guild.
Sorry about the long wait. Spring semester is finally over, so now I can focus on getting some more people back into the RP and getting this thing rolling again.
with regards to this roleplay, i am afraid i may need to drop this one due to a lot of stuff going on in my life as far as a hectic work/sleep schedule on top of being a father. I'm sorry to be leaving like this, but hopefully I can come back at a later date


That's fine. :) Real life comes first.
Where did everyone go?


Sorry. It's the last 3 weeks of spring semester for me, so I've been studying for my finals. :c I'll try and get a post up again soon...

You'd think they'd use that to find more appropriate sites for their spam-bot shenanigans. Like furniture forums or house forums or whatever.


Half of those spam bots are probably not even made for the purpose of spamming, just trolling.
y'know... if you want to make a truly sneaky spambot... have it post regularly the first ten posts, then in the 11th, make its top half regular and the bottom pure spam... Or somesuch other convoluted system that is as not beneficial as spam from post #1.


Sounds easy to a human, but pretty complicated to do for a computer. For it to be completely automated, you'd need some heavy horsepower for the calculations the script would need to do to "learn" what makes up a normal post on this site. It's a pretty complex field, also known as "machine learning."
On a more serious note, it's trivial really to program a script to avoid certain sections of a site. A simple if then statement, checking for the word "spam" in the URL.

Hey guys, I'll be making a post today. Also, for the sake of old times, an old member of the previous series may be joining in.
Something happened here. I don't know what though.
