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.

You mixed up one of the fields again. I fixed it, haha.



Character accepted, you may post them in the character tab.

That was a joke! You're suppose to laugh! … Crybaby...


Short Description:

Aer Pacifica was a young street rat that was plucked off a street in the country of Gillia. Rather than imprison her, the government saw fit to use her talents in Gillia's most elite fighting force: The Battle Mages.

Personality:

Aer is the pinnacle of obedience, tempered by a militaristic training regimen. She is stern and serious, and speaks few words. Pacifica is the ideal soldier... but only when her superior's eyes are upon her.

Aer loves to talk, make crude jokes, and let her wit fly even with complete strangers. She's almost always in high spirits, even in the face of danger. Such is the life of an adventurer, to face each challenge with the broad smile of determination.

While Aer is a social creature, she does hold the belief that everyone more or less looks out for themselves. And she knows that she is no different. Pacifica will not go out of her way to harm perfectly innocent people, nor will she stand by idly if there's something that can be done. But her own survival is paramount.

History:

Aer was born into a poor family in the slums. She was an amber child, which is a condition brought on by having a parent exposed to certain magical machines. Her parents were both employed, but couldn't provide for their clutch of eight children. Most of them were orphans that they welcomed into their home. With no jobs available to her, and unable to sustain herself on what others threw away, Aer became a thief to provide for her ever growing family. She learned how to steal, fight, and play dirty in her unforgiving environment. But cunning and careful as she may have been, the authorities only have to catch you once...

For most, Gillia's jails would have been a death sentence. But the government was more interested in her magical powers. Rather than make an example of the thief, they offered her a spot among their elite: the battle mages. Aer had no reasonable alternate options, so she took their offer. Surely being a legal slave was a better fate than rotting away in a jail cell. Aer has completed her training, and is now off to to show everyone the might of Gillia's empire.

Magic:

Most of Aer's magic stems from "Molecular Manipulation." Particularly the ability to accelerate and decelerate molecules. By making molecules move faster, Aer causes things to heat up. She can even make molecules move fast enough that it rips apart the fabric of the atoms, creating an explosion. By slowing down molecules, Aer can cause an object to cool. Aer can apply these effects near herself or any of her enchanted gear*. With a catalyst, Aer gains even greater control over her magic by also being able to manipulate heat in a more direct way. Aer's catalysts are capable of creating flames, and can manipulate the movement of flames and heated objects as long as it's near one of her catalysts. Aer does not have to be touching a catalyst in order to cast spells from it, but spells can only come out of a catalyst from a specific face. for clarity, spells can only be launched from the staff at either end, the palms of the battle gloves, and the bottom of her shoes. However, attacks that involve explosions and the like can radiate out at all angles.

*All of Aer's gear, from her earnings to her boots, are enchanted.

In layman's terms: Aer can heat, explode, and cool objects that are near Aer or her enchanted items, and can cast fire spells from her catalysts.

Abilities:

Rogue: Aer had very humble beginnings, and underhanded tactics were necessary to survive. Aer possesses all the tools of a thief, from knowing how to move undetected, slight of hand, agility, etc.

Gillian staff Maiden: Aer took her training very seriously, and has become one with her staff. She has two primary staff styles. One is an offensive style where the staff is held closer at the end. (like chinese whip-staff style, wushu) and a more defensive style where the staff is held in the middle. (Like Korean Taekwondo)

Equipment:

Due to the nature of Aer's magic, she requires artifacts to utilize it to its full potential.

Jubilation Staff: The staff is light and durable. the jewels on either end act as catalysts.

Gillian Battle mage Uniform: While it doesn't offer much physical defense, it is light and sewn with magical thread that resist extreme temperature change, like from Aer's spells.

Battle Caster Gloves: Resists temperature change and can also act as a catalyst for spells.

Battle Caster Boots: Can walk even on lava, but one has to be careful not to sink! can also act as a catalyst for spells..

Cute Red Purse: A cute red purse that looks like a cat.

Enchanted Coins: Enchanted coins that are stowed in Aer's cute red purse. The coins have a hole in the center.

Enchanted Ribbon: A ribbon Aer keeps in her cute red purse. It's long and soft, and strung threw a few enchanted coins.

Ugly Brown Purse: A purse filled with dirt. "I've got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it?"

Almost forgot to mention that the Hiatus is going to be lifted in just a week longer. I got one of my collabs just about done, so I hope most of us can hit the ground running.

Again, good luck with all of your projects.

nothing has happened yet, so I'm sure they won't have a problem with you putting up a character sheet.
The viewing room was filled with a lot of odd sorts, as you could expect from a contest located in a multiverse. Emperors sat beside presidents, samurai sat beside plasma soldiers, mages beside scientists. But it wasn't just occupation or apparent place in time that made these people different, it was even the shapes of their bodies. A seven foot tall man was sitting beside a blue haired girl with eyes larger than his fists. But both of them would tell you that they were human. It was a melting pot of personality and culture where it was almost impossible to stick out. Nothing was strange, because everything was strange.

That rule was no exception for the viewing room's newest additions. It was a girl cuddling a gray cat. The girl wore a rather eccentric red dress. With every step she took, the charms and jewels attached to it silently bounced off of her form. She could have been a mage, or perhaps a princess? She couldn't be identified, as her face was under a black helmet. Even the visor was tinted. The gray cat she was holding wore the same helmet, and was playing with a strand of her red hair that hung over her shoulder. The girl wasn't just holding the cat though. she had two tickets pinned between her fingers, each one with a seat number on it. She kept looking between the seats and the tickets.

“Hmmm...”

The helmet girl stopped at the next row of seats. Her visor slowly moved between the seat numbers listed on her tickets, and the brash man sitting in one of her seats (Lysander). She stared at the man for the better part of a minute before shrugging and sitting down in the seat directly beside him. At this point, the cat stopped playing with her hair and curled itself into a ball in her lap. Its head pointed out towards the combatants.
You also need to take into account that the knife guy and bat guy have different game plans. If knife guy can get close enough to bat guy, his bat won't be nearly as effective as a knife, which is effective at close range. Knife guy also only needs one hand to deliver a killing blow, while the bat is pretty much useless unless you're holding it with both hands.

The way I see it, Bat guy is going to try to play to his advantage, and be kind of stand offish. Knife guy is going to be aggressive and try to get as close as possible. If they are both playing the optimal strategy, Knife guy is going to rush in there, while bat guy tries to time his swing right. I see knife guy using his free hand to try and catch the bat before it builds up too much speed. Worst case scenario, he breaks his free arm. But I don't see bat guy getting out of this without being stabbed.

Still not a great scenario for either dude.
