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.

So whats the appeal of Disney's Frozen? Ive been wondering that for forever.


Simple reason: It was a good movie. It's not as cerebral movie like inception or the matrix, but it was entertaining.

Yes, the reason why people can't shut up about it is largely because of the music. It had also been quite some time since Disney released a worthwhile animated movie, or a musical, and frozen was both.
@pugbutter Oh, it's not. The "feel special because of how exclusive a label is" people are indie gamers and people like that. The comic book movie nerds "rally under a label to feel like they're a part of something bigger." Point is, they just want to stand out a little bit more. even if it's a veeeeery little bit. That, or maybe it's an invitation to invite you to talk to them about other comic book/movies that they might be interested in.
@pugbutter What you're describing is the label connection.

(Some) People in this day and age cling to labels because they are too weak to represent their own thing, and need to rally under a label to feel like they're a part of something bigger. Or it can go the other way, and it makes them feel special because of how exclusive a label is. You see this a lot with tumbler lard whales and their 50 precious "genders."

It's not always this insidious of course. Some people just like the idea of belonging to a group of "elite" people, and feel their labels are interesting reflections of their character.
I'm just saying that it's something that needs to be fought on more than just a battlefield, ya know?


Exactly, we need spiritually strong leaders, who's words are backed by nukes!

@Amaikawa

More care could have been taken into filling out the character sheet. I'm okay with Ai being a baker, but maybe instead of being a "popstar" baker, she could just be a regular baker or some other form of specialized baker that just happens to need to listen to music. It's also not clear exactly why she's going to Axis Mundi. Is it her arms, or her mental health? Also, the whole point of having a secret questionnaire is so that your character can have a dark past or dark desires without them being revealed to everyone. A very big part of Danganronpa is the surprise factor. However, you may submit your secret questionnaire after you have revised your character sheet.
Count to 2018 before 2018.

A version of "Men Vs Women: Race to 1000" Where the woman actually stand a chance.

I would like to ask, what is the appeal of God Of War? It cant just be the deep voice protagonist and the b-movie sex stuff can it? The combat is awful, and for some reason it gets a pass on really obnoxious QTEs.


When it first debuted, god of war was a state of the art action game and everyone was copying its combat system. You can even see elements of it in Castlevania. However, you could accuse it of not keeping up with the times. This is probably why the upcoming god of war is taking such a drastically different approach to the game as a whole.

While the gruff protagonist and sex are certainly enough to get the blood pumping in any teenage boy, I think the excellent narration by Linda Hunt kept the rest of us interested. as the story telling started to take a back seat in later installments, I think it's popularity suffered.

Basically, God of war was a great game for it's time. But each subsequent game provided more of the same or actually took away to the point that the appeal is starting to go away. That's probably why the newest installation is completely overhauling every aspect of god of war.

EDIT: Dayum, big cat beat me to it, and did a better job.
You're in a dark alleyway when suddenly the avatar above walks up to you. What do you do?:

Like all avatar spam threads, it's devolved into an anime orgy thread. Yes, I see the irony.
@Amaikawa It might take a day or two for me to create an opening for you, but you can join. After I review your character sheet and perform all the usual rituals.
Jailed for stomping the shit out of the avatars above him.

Never forgive, never forget!
