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...
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.

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.
Titanpad is also amazing for collaborating, and I was only notified of it's existence about a week ago. It's more or less shutting down in march, but pirate pad looks like it's the same thing. Basically it's a document that you and anyone with the unique url code can edit. It does not send alerts however. otherwise, it's very easy to copy and paste your finished collab anywhere, unlike skype.
In most of the roleplays I GM or participate in, the killing usually happens between monsters and humans. as a result there's a disconnect there. The predator does not feel sympathy for their prey. It's an entirely different story when both creatures are human, or identical in nature.
I find it's kind of hard to regulate how "gritty" killing someone should feel. This is mostly because each player and their characters deals with it in a different way. I know one guy who gives all of his characters personalities, even the "nameless guard," to help guide how you should feel. There are others who make killings look as simple as cutting a loaf of bread. I try to give a little bit of insight into the kind of characters that are being killed. If people are being killed by the truck full, it's not very convincing to make the characters feel anything anyway. That changes if the character is particularly important or close to the characters.
I'm not sure making death heavy makes things more realistic, but I do think it connects the reader to the world better in certain situations. It really depends on how dark you want things to be.
As for "sadistic acts of violence like torture or rape," it depends, but I feel it misses the mark most of the time. I find torture and rape are abused as a sort of shortcut to make things dark on the cheap. The problem is that torture and rape can only be committed by people with very specific mindsets. When people without these mindsets commit these kinds of crimes, it tends to make the world feel more contrived and artificial.
@Pudding Is trying an advanced RP? SO COOL! I've pretty much always written at an advanced level on other forums. It's not that tough, and I'm sure Shoryu will help you out.
The ironic thing is that it's a mistake I never make when I'm speaking, only typing.
I was at work today and I needed to say monokuma's name, but "Murokuma" came out instead for the first time ever.
@ArenaSnow Yay! The robot agrees with me! Maybe he won't stomp on me should we both enter as tributes?
@Vilageidiotx Thanks a lot for this! I'll tell you how it goes.
By the way, I watch quite a bit of anime. Not so much anymore, but I fall in and out of it. The game I'm working on will have RP and anime themed events. So if you ever want to trade events down the road, I'd be happy to.
@Shoryu Magami You also made the same mistake in the "who's the murderer?" thread a while back, but no one called you out on it. Haha!
I was not entirely serious with the idea. But virtue's last reward also had a puntastic animal that mocked the contestants.
My theory about comedy VS drama is that when done right, they feed off of each other. A joke that makes light of a tragedy is that much funnier, and a joke that ends in tragedy brings that much more despair. Of course when done poorly they just cancel each other out and not much of anything is achieved.
