If you're roleplaying with your only friends, you're roleplaying with your best friends.

I think to sell someone on an interest check, it's really important to seem enthusiastic about your own idea. That means writing more than a single sentence to attract potential players.

Bio


W I T H R I G H T E O U S H A N D S





Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.

Name:
Broken Promise, BP, Boss

Age:
Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)

Preferred RPs:
I Prefer to make my own, but will occasionally join something if it looks interesting. I'll join just about anything so long as it isn’t overly edgy/sweet, though it's rare for me to do. I don't do 1x1s too often either.

Preferred Roles:
I tend to play adorable characters everyone wants to befriend or proper assholes everyone wants to stay away from. I try not to play moral paragons or prime evils.

RP Conquests:
I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. Re: Zero: The High Council Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...

Last RP I finished was Symphony of Espers which turned out pretty good.

RP's in progress:
For some reason I can't seem to stay away from Ari's magical girl RP, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.

As for my own projects, I'm doing Symphony on High to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.

RP Graveyard:
I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.

And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.

Other interests:
Videos
I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like Tier Zoo and Daryl Talks Games, and I’ll also watch things like Critical Drinker or Literature Devil to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like Sseth, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.

Games
I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.

Painting Minis
I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...

Music
I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.

Personality:
Not one to take life or the internet too seriously. Is only serious about writing well and having a good time.

People to Insult:
Dalton is a Dingus.

Really, school is the dominating genre here? Heh, clearly there are WAY too many weabos who worship their school dramas!

(pay no mind to the anime grill from a school drama to the left of this post)

Anyway, as someone who participates in maybe 1 or two RPs a year, they don't bother me. They need a good hook of course, just like the overly saturated fantasy genre. I really won't waste my time on anything that doesn't feel special in some way.
I like lore. I like a good paragraph or so to get the world started, then its players and GM can continue to add lore. It may have 10 pages or 60 pages or even 666 pages of lore when the RP ends, but if it's added at a comfortable pace, that's all that matters to me. I'll never join an RP that requires hours of reading up front. But if everyone's post contains a little bit of flavor, that's a good thing!
Okay, I'm going to start by saying that people in this day and age cling to labels because they are too weak to represent their own thing, and need to rally under a label to feel like they're a part of something bigger. Or it can go the other way, and it makes them feel special because of how exclusive a label is. You see this a lot with tumbler lard whales and their 50 precious "genders." I think my least favorite part about labels is that they are often spoken about very loudly by extremists. There are quiet femnists that just like the idea of doing a little bit more and getting a little bit of respect for it. Like that group of school girls that decided to try asking the guys out for prom night instead of waiting for them to do it. Those girls are not accurately reflected by their label, which is shared largely by man-haters.

interesting wording. "Let us know." Are you some sort of collective?

Doesn't matter, I'll gladly rip through these labels for you.

Men's Rights Activist (MRA)

This started off as a joke. The fact that people are taking it seriously shows just how bad our situation is.

Anaracho Capatalist

I have no idea what this is, and I didn't understand the explanation I got off of google.

SJW (Social Justice Warrior)

Let's make it our goal to hate on white heterosexual males, because hating on someone for their race, sex, and sexuality is the right thing to do. You just gotta do it to the right people!

Feminist

Think I tackled this one already.

Brexiter

Google was no help

Gamergater/Pro Gamergate

This just kinda seems like a new label born from other labels, you know? Like, a bisexual chick could also just claim to be "Heterosexual and a lesbian."

Race Realist

I think you made this one up. That name made me chuckle though.

To those of you who don't subscribe to "labels", I salute you. Sally forth, brave soldiers.
