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.

I'd use fetid after describing the smell first, but it's not really properly used in the context of a gym setting (how bad can someone actually smell after exercising?).


As someone who's exercised in a tiny dojo crammed full of people, I can tell you from first hand experience that things can get VERY smelly in an hour.

But you are correct, Fetid isn't the right word. I've seen that word used to describe things like the smell of corpses. A work out is fairly mild in comparison to something like that.

Really glad I went to school before the age of "pills fix everything!"

So apparently I was too stupid to attend regular classes. And by too stupid I mean that they tested me, I scored well above the average child, but didn't like to read. They told my mother that I was going to be left behind this year despite having such great test scores. Her response was something akin to "LOL NOPE!" and so my parents home schooled me.

Oh look, I'm on a forum dedicated to people who like to read and write.

Too true about doctors these days Mr Doc Doctor. I think part of the problem is that people actually like the idea of pill cure-alls. "It's nothing I can control. I cant eat better, I can't work out more. What I can do is eat a pill and get on with my life."

...That and some of these teachers are just too lazy. "Hey doc, wanna pump the kids full of some ADD controllers? They all scored kinda low, and I know it's not the lesson plan!"
For us, it is not a lack of skill, but a lack of interested players (and in addition right now, excess RP energy).


Pretty much this.

All the ideas that I can't do just stems from my inability to find people who want to participate in said idea. I usually end up overhauling my concept to the point it doesn't even resemble what it was suppose to be.

While I have a large vocabulary, I tend to hold back on dumping every word I know into a single post. a few colorful words are fine, but expecting a big word to do all the work for you (or multiple big words) can make prose feel antiseptic.

"Amy had slept in her coat. It was wrinkled and smelled like an hour long workout. "

I would prefer that over...

"Amy's coat was disheveled and fetid."
Well yea, i don't think anyone but scrub writers really believe that longer = better. But it's a lot harder to cram small minute details into not very many words. Having said that, keeping "thesaurus-dot-com" and "dictionary-dot-com" in open tabs at all times doesn't make you a great writer either. Gotta have the ying to that yang.
@tsukune YOU SHOW THOSE EXAMS WHO'S BOSS YA-HEAR?!?!?!

@shylarah It is his business, it's just so sad the way he goes about doing it. : C

I personally think the title name makes it hard to post in there. Anytime I want to share an RP moment, I'm always like "...But is this one of the BEST rp moments of my LIFE?" I'm thinking I might just start writing stories of awesome things I wasn't directly involved in as well. you could do the same. That or we have to make more life bests faster.

Thank you. <3 Honestly, I saw that pun written in a store once and I fell in love with it. I keep thinking about changing it, but I don't know what to replace it with.
@shylarah
Indeed! But to be honest, I like a rich, dark toast myself. However, a computer really shouldn't be toasting anything!

And get your butt over to the "best RP moments of your life" thread and post something! If you don't post in there, boomlover will bump it again!

@NekoMizu

How can you be bored after viewing my unlimited stick works?

*folds arms and looks away*

See if I show you any of the other ones now. HMPH!
@shylarah Typically computers get called toasters when they start to function like toasters. You know? They get hot, smoke, etc.
you should have gotten a PM directing you to this topic:
