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 Def didn't ask for this.
I'm not sure what the draw of a discord server is. I know a lot of GMs insist on having one, but the reason for it escapes me. Is it just for accessibility? Just curious.

Fixed!

somehow I feel broken could do an amazing monokuma. oh my god I want, now


If I knew the correct presets. It would take some tinkering to figure out. but I'm sure I can do it.
Well hellooo there!


Davis: "Seems like Daimyon the Despicable Damsel snatcher is after my waifus again..."

^ No one should be that exited to collab

Anyway, I'm just kind of waiting to see if @Vocab posts before I do anything. Otherwise, I'll likely have santa visit relatively soon. but not today.

@Vocab And not a normal collab, these all involve at least three people!

@Aewin As the group's primary ass hole, Davis has informed me he will try his best.

@MyCatGinger I really like it so far. Great animation, unique drawing style, and the gambles feel more intense than most fight scenes. It really gets into how the games work, how they benefit the house, and how Kaiji turns the tables on them. Well, it doesn't always work out that smoothly for Kaiji. There's definitely a "gambling doesn't pay" message hidden in there somewhere. Actually, the message is pretty clear.

Kaiji also uses the hope/despair theme quite a bit, and a lot of the things Kaiji does makes me say "I could see Davis doing something like that." He probably could have been the infinite gambler.
>When the monk thinks of you as the infinite gambler



I've been totally hooked on Kaiji recently BTW. Not done with it but GREAT series so far.

B-but yea! It was fun to collab! Noelers part with Mary was good too!
Carnage and Christmas.
@Rai Depending on how far along your RP is, your new players might not feel comfortable interacting at this point and still want to get a feel for the world. This is why I typically have a few of my own "player characters" around to help guide other characters to the excitement, or play match maker.



When that doesn't work, it sometimes helps to actually communicate what you want to the players. some people thrive when left alone, others require some hand-holding.
