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.

Not bad. I'm not surprised you already have people trying to join. You know you've done it right when people are already filling out the character sheet. The formatting is nice, and you instantly know it's sci-fi/post-apocalyptic with just a skim. But if you want a critique...

I found the entire DJ section kind of long. It was a good way to get a feel for the RP's atmosphere, but for an interest check, I really want to understand the scenario and my roll in it relatively quickly. I do like this approach, but it took DJ wildfire a while to tell me what amounts to "This is the future, it's ruined, and there are robots and zombies." Fortunately, roleplayers who choose to skip this part will still be able to understand what the RP is about by reading your bullet points.

This might be nitpicking, but I'm not sure everyone who is interested in this type of roleplay is going to have seen one piece. They are more likely to have played borderlands, etc. Will this sink your interest check? probably not. But it might be worth it to just explain what these "crazy towns" are.

I actually thought this was a serious RP until I got to reading further in. You may (emphasis: may) want to consider putting up a few images that point to the more satire side of your RP. Your chosen aesthetics is amazing, it just all points to a very serious post apocalypse.



I don't really see any major problems. I think you'll get enough people to start in no time, especially with the interest you already have.

Just a reminder that I still plan on posting after 7 (now 4) days or after everyone else in the garage scene posts. If you're waiting for someone else to post first, it might be worth letting them know.
Our child of despair and determination.

And they'll get a lot of the former, because they're going to have a bad time.

Hey guys, how's it going? Has it been a busy week for everyone? I know a few of you are on trips or getting ready for university.
