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.
Whilst working on my Batman (and other posts) I decided on my second POV:
Kawaii Otaku
>Had hoped for puns. >Is further teased by the possibility of a punny green arrow over discord. >We get "kawaii Otaku" >Does not look like the punning type
Beetle Bailey, 19 (b. 1949) IMPOSTER based in Northern U.S.A. Active since approximately spring 1968
I'm sure almost everyone has come in contact with the comic strip at some point in their lives. There really isn't much to it. It's mostly about a private and his sergeant yelling at each other. There's not much of a mythos, and there's very little character development outside the occasional appearance of former girlfriends or family.
The daily gag comic strip character is going to need a lot to stand in with the gritty legends of the comic book industry. I do plan on keeping to his character. Beetle is a lazy slacker who isn't afraid of defying authority figures, and that much of him I plan on keeping the same. He's returned from the war with a lot of really good war stories (note: he was a REMF) And while that fame lasted a little while, it didn't take long for the ongoing horrors of the war to tune out his stories. While Beetle is a slacker, he did come to love that admiration that came with being a hero. So he hatched this ingenious plan to become everyone's hope as Captain America, and make live speeches for cash. This really just involved him telling the right people he was a war vet and dressing up as the Captain America. A pretty easy way to snag fame. Surely there will be no consequences...
Beetle Baily is very much a side character, and is not designed to replace a true Captain America. He is very much a comic relief character, accidentally getting swept up in plots that are too big for an average human, then getting out of them with as little effort on his part as possible. He can be serious at times though, and offer a view of the story from the perspective of a normal human. And while he never fired at real enemies, he is military trained. So he isn't entirely helpless in combat situations.
I don't really have any story arcs I wish to tell for this character. Much like the character himself, I'm at the mercy of the world, and will react to its events as they come.
Army training: Beetle Baily went through boot camp and ran drills all through his “tour,” even the ones he didn't have to. There is no modern firearm or weapon he can't use, from machine guns to mortars.
Charisma: A bit laid back in appearance, but Beetle is an expert at manipulating people by playing the victim or hero card at the right time. Though anyone who gets to know him sees him for his true nature.
Sergeant 1st Class Orville P. Snorkel : Beetle's former aggressive sergeant. Out of pure luck, he's now Beetle's manager. Neither of them are happy about the arangement.
Private "Killer" Diller : Beetle's “war buddy” and a self proclaimed lady killer. They're neighbors.
I haven't decided exactly when beetle came back from the war, but I imagine it was recently. This will likely get fleshed out better as the story starts to form.
@Gowi Having a true captain america show up would make things VERY interesting. especially if they were strongly against what Beetle was doing. He might have to do something desperate...
But if that doesn't happen, I'm sure beetle will become a powerful icon of hope that some super villain will want to capture to spread terror or meet some ridiculous demands.
“The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
but since some people liked that post I feel like people will think I'm a bitch if I don't go for it I have a duty to try.
It probably needs some more spit and polish, but this is it for the most part.
