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.

Hana slowly rised from her dream. Was it a dream? It had pirates and magical girls in it, that was about all she remembered. When hana turned her head to look out her window, she could see that parot from yesterday.

“Again?”

The parrot squawked and flew off. No matter. The school girl didn't have anything she needed to do today, but wanted to spend as much time out of the house as possible. The rest of her family liked to sleep late, but Hana was an early riser. If she grabbed breakfast on the go today, she wouldn't have to encounter her brother. That, and she needed to do some more research on these magical girls.
How fitting that the spam bot would win, representing RPG spam section, in a spam based game.
Can someone explain the appeal of joking about things that aren't jokes? Like joking about suicide, self-harm, autism, 9/11, ISIS... the list goes on and on.


As someone who jokes about like topics quite frequently, it's to take the edge off. When someone tries to make everyone sad by telling everyone about the most recent celebrity death, I think it's my duty to reverse this by lightening the mood. As with most things of this nature, you can't be indirect. You can't just say "hey, how about that football game?" You need to attack the offender's response directly by making light of something many consider tragic or scary. Insensitive? Maybe. But I consider myself one of the good guys.

What is the appeal of people calling themselves, "insane", "random" or "evil"?

Attempted excuse for behavior?


I think that's the short version.

If you'd like it taken a step further, I've noticed that type of behavior is most prevalent at schools or other places with younger people. everyone forms a clique and uses it as an excuse to stay in their comfort zone or opt out of trying new things.

"I can't play sports, I'm a brainiac!"

"I can't play with dolls, I'm a jock!"

Though as we mature, we realize that it isn't as important to live out these "personas," and that we can be quite a few different people. When I'm working with customers, I'm friendly and courteous. When I'm around family, I'm goofy and silly. There's no reason for us to stick to some character archetype. different situations call for different behavior. But it is a learned trait that I feel most insane/random/evil people aren't aware of.

Yea, that round sucked for the guild.

Our basket still did better than their basket though. And their basket humped clockwork.
Are you taking suggestions? I'd be fine with the following morning.
I'm cool with a time skip.
