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.

EDIT: Oh yea, I only wanted to remove Amber and Veronica's sheets.
Hey, I hope this is okay!





EDIT: Decided to keep Amber and Veronica's sheet private for personal reasons.
"So death is a duo? Fascinating!" Junko batted a few leaves off of her skirt. "Ugh, I'm all dirty now. I'll have to change, but I'll have time for that later." The fashionista turned on her heal. "We still haven't reached our destination yet. Let's go!" It felt like they were only maybe a hundred feet away from the rubble of the school, and the jungle was already breaking away into a different landscape.



Anyone familiar with a post apocalyptic movie scene would recognize the area as such. The hot, humid jungle immediately gave way to a dead city. The air was drier, colder, and it was raining. While some of the buildings were still getting power, there were no people immediately visible at these locations. There was a billboard with the city map set up in front of a visitor center. The school girl was quick to approach and inspect it. "Okay! It looks like we're getting pretty close to the shopping center. And just in time too, because I could use a change of clothes." After her announcement, Junko looked up into the grey sky and stuck out her tongue. The familiar child's pass time of trying to fill your mouth with rain drops.



It wasn't much longer before the monitors flicked on again. Nariko was still at the casino, which appeared to be completely set up.

“I-I'm sorry that took so long.” The carnage sister whimpered. “But the game is ready now. Playing isn't mandatory but...”

The video feed was cut out by some static, and Dr. Kill good made another one of his appearances. “So maybe having downer bot 9000 run the casino wasn't a good idea. Oh well, you live and you learn! Or you die and no longer need to learn anything!” The bear cleared his throat. “Anyway, playing most certainly IS mandatory. Not that you have any reason not to play. Everyone gets something, and the winner gets a special prize! Isn't that nice?” Killgood giggled. “Now I'm well aware some of you are still skeptical, so I'll tell you what the prize is.” The screen changed to a shot of the theater. There was a drum roll before the curtains were pulled back to reveal a red telephone booth. “You get a ticket for a special telephone call! And it can be to literally anyone, even if you don't know the number. You could even call the police, but I think they'd find your story hard to swallow for some reason. Phu phu phu!”

There was no reason not to trust the bear. The night of carnage was over twelve hours away. Of course after Killgood's last stunt, everyone had some reason to suspect something. But “what” exactly was anyone's guess. Avoiding an event that almost everyone would be attending wasn't a very good idea anyway. Now more than ever, the infinites needed to stay together.

"Well, this is kinda my sister's time to shine." Alexandria made her way towards the hospital, far away from the casino. "I'll see you guys later."




The casino wasn't anything to write home about. Like everything the carnage sisters had done up until this point, it looked amateur. Since the last time Davis visited, the only real change was that there were now monokuma plushies hung around the mono stand. Of course, there was also a giant wheel that was begging to be spun. It had black and white stripes for the zones, with a red ticker that would determine the winner.

“A-alright.” Nariko adjusted her tie. The fan blowing out the back of her head was pushing around the suspended plushies. “To prevent people from cheating, your tokens will be placed on the spinner entirely at random. I apologize if this takes the fun out of the game.”

Davis sighed. “The one time I can actually use my talent.” Perfection placed his token on the counter top where Nariko was standing. “But I'm not out of this contest yet! I'm pretty sure I can will that wheel to stop exactly where I want it to.”

Everyone else handed over their chip in an orderly fashion. As each one was handed in, the samurai would use a labeling gun to mark the chip's original owner. Once Nariko was in possession of them all, the game was ready to start. “Alright, I guess we can start the game now.” Nariko scooped up all the chips and tossed them onto the wheel. They all landed exactly in the same spot in their respective zones. “I'm going to spin the wheel. Please don't touch it. T-the top is a little sticky, to make sure the chips don't move.” The samurai grabbed the side of the wheel. “S-sorry to everyone who loses in advance. It can't be helped.” Nariko put the might of her sword arm into the spin, causing the wheel to move at such speeds that the wheel just looked like a gray blur. It even swirled the air in the small casino, causing articles of clothing and long hair to flutter. Lights flashed around the infinites, but no distraction could avert their eyes from the wheel. Though it maintained speed for a while, it slowed down very quickly. Everyone could hear the screech of a metallic break. It was not unlike a locomotive trying to stop. Sparks shot out of the bottom of the table, which caused most of the infinites to take a step back. When the wheel stopped, the red ticker was pointing at someone's chip. Nariko was able to retrieve it and look at the label. Her eyes flicked back up to infinites. “Our winner is Krista Müller, I'm so sorry.”

“Why are you sorry for her?” Bliss was still a little shaken by the wheel's unique stopping mechanism. “Didn't she win?”

That was when Monokuma popped out of the dealer's table right beside Nariko. “Ho ho! But all Krista won was a motive!”

“Motive?” Davis crossed his arms. “You don't expect one of us to kill Krista for her ticket, do you?”

“Oh not at all!” The bear said with it's sing-song voice. “After all, everyone at the trial gets executed if they can't identify the blackened. So you don't even have to kill Krista directly. You just have to kill ANYONE, and get away with it. I'll take care of the rest.”

Bliss snorted. “You don't have to kill someone to steal from them!”

“No, but I'm sure you've noticed that there aren't any telephones around, right?”

“Well...”

Killgood chuckled. “The telephone will only appear after a trial. So the ticket can't be used until someone dies anyway. So even a sweet cinnamon bun like Krista has a reason to off someone! All holding the ticket means is that if you somehow survive the trial, it'll be yours.” The bear cackled like a wild animal. “It's also a digital ticket that's been uploaded to your E-handbook, so good luck destroying it. There aren't any saunas around this time!”

Davis raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”

“A-anyway, that's all folks!” and with that the bear disappeared from where it came.

Bliss surveyed the other infinites. “If one of you kills for a phone call, I'm going to be super disappointed in you!”
The fashionista blinked a few times before the skeleton came into focus. "Well... sure, you can help me up." The school girl gave her hand a shake. "I think it's safe to say you're not death. What IS your name?" Junko's ears twitched. She thought she heard someone say "questionably-colored hair," but was still too out of it to tell who it was and if they were talking about her. they'd better not have!
@Conch Shell VII OOC: I edited my post. But to be fair, I don't play TF2, Gary's mod, etc. I can only go by what you write.
The fashionista's light frame demonstrated it's inadequacy for combat yet again when a rocket "gently" cruised into her. It was hard enough to knock the hat off of her head. Junko's only recourse was to fall onto her back, where she laid in a dazed state. Not long after, sans came rushing up to her, yelling loud enough to wake the dead.

"Death? Is that you?" The school girl's spinning eyes eluded to her state of vertigo. She sat up very slowly. "Wow, death. I can hardly believe it. That last rocket must have killed me." Junko reached out to touch "death." But he was a bit further away than her eyes perceived him to be. "You know, I waited a long time to see you. But I'm not so sure I want to leave now. Things aren't so boring anymore. Could you maybe wait a bit longer?"
@Conch Shell VII OOC: Haha, I did specify that the bullets weren't near Jane. hope he didn't die from the fall (onto harbinger!)
Junko snorted. "No more magic tricks? Very well!" The SMG looked huge in the fashionista's small, petite hands. Though she had the discipline to press the shoulder brace against herself before firing, she wasn't looking down the sights. "Sayayayayaya helelelelelelelooohohohohohohoh toohohohohohohohoho myeyeyeyeyeyeyeyey Littelelelelelelellele Frienenenenenennened!" The weapon was on full auto, and it was difficult to make out what the fashionista was trying to say with the weapon shaking her so much. Junko's light frame benefited her when she tried to look good in a dress, not fire automatic weapons. As for the tree, each bullet seemed to weaken the branches that held Jane in place. Jane sagged closer to the ground, while the fashionista's bullets continued to rip twig and leaf from the tree branch. Fortunately, the bullets weren't being fired anywhere near Jane. It would seem Junko wasn't completely mad after all. Then the gun started to make clicking noises, no longer spitting out any more lead. "Oh, I guess I'm out. Well..." The fashionista turned around. "I'll see the rest of you on the other side!" she said before darting away from the chasm.
Explain the appeal of posting this message, as well as the appeal of responding to it.


I posted in this topic a few times because I was genuinely curious. Could the fans of something I detest/take no interest in say something that I can relate to or understand? I like to understand why people have a different opinion about something than me. It's fascinating. Sadly, none of my questions have been answered, so I've stopped asking.

as for why I like responding, it depends. Sometimes it's just a topic I know a lot about, and sharing my knowledge about that topic makes me feel good. Other times it's something I enjoy, and I enjoy telling people why I enjoy things. I'm also discussing things with someone who's open to hear answers (usually) instead of someone who is prepared to "debate" me on why I like something.

One of my favorite threads.
