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...
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.
Alright, just letting everyone know that the case is more or less ready to go, so you can expect a motive post towards the end of the week. I realize we have three collaborations going on right now, and it is not mandatory that they be done before the motive gets dropped. But I would like to start the case early November in hopes of getting the case done before Christmas cheer puts too much strain on your posting activity.
In layman's terms: Expect one of you sorry bastards to wind up dead come November!
But yea, no rush on the collabs. It would be wise to start thinking about how you can tie things up now however.
In other news: Some of you may have noticed the RP's header image has been changed from that very novic-ish pink smear to this:
Thanks Aewin, this looks much more danganronpa-esqu!
Oh yea, the snowboard one was cool with all those secret modes. I also liked the G-bike, and the roller coaster was the best one that wasn't recycled from the main game. Outside the gold saucer you have the fort condor one, which was pretty meh. And then you have the thirty or so other minigames that aren't much more interesting than the one I posted above. Doing squats, helping Tifa escape from a chair, mouth to mouth resuscitation, saving aries via donky kong style barrel throwing, bitch slap contest, every tedious timing minigame...
Final Fantasy seven was definitely ahead of it's time in a lot of ways, especially when you look at the games that came out at the same time as it. "Grand Theft Auto" and "Castlevania: Symphony of the night" were the only other blockbuster games I can think of that came out that year. It was the first Playstation game to come out on multiple disks, the story was far more complex than your typical console game, and it was very pretty compared to most 3d games of it's vintage. It's definitely a contender for best game of 1997, and it's probably the best RPG of that year. But it has no right showing up on any "greatest game of all time" lists. It's a generic turn based RPG with a ton of minigames thrown in to distract you from this fact. There have also been better stories, with "Aries dies!" being the only plot twist this bloated, long winded tale has to defend itself with.
@DarkwolfX37 in human form, Regina can only sense minds and not read them. Just like it states in the CYOA. If Regina was to transform, it depends on how close they are to her. Up close, Regina can accurately read surface thoughts like the voice in your head, and can dig deeper with a bit of time. But at a long distance, she can only sense changes in thought and identify a mind's nature. Like if there's a lot of activity from an emotional disturbance. So I guess it all depends on your clone's proximity from Regina and their thoughts.
As Shannon had predicted, Elroy didn't mind her more outgoing attitude. “Alright scarf girl.” He said while starting to move. “Let's go for a walk.” Elroy had finished eating his apple and threw the core with all of his might. It landed beside Shion's clone, who was hiding in some tall grass. Elroy appeared to still be entirely unaware of her presence as he walked arm in arm with Shannon.
Regina hadn't been searching for very long. There were a lot of mental signatures around this time of day. The ones leaping along rooftops were of some interest. Regina didn't know where they were going, but she assumed they were headed towards some big monster fight. Her aura may have gone unnoticed because they thought it was in that direction. It didn't matter. None of them would be willing to ally with her in a state of such urgency. You didn't have to be a mind reader to figure that out.
She picked up on Elroy's mind and instantly looked to the streets. There he was, walking with Shannon. That outfit made it painfully obvious that she was a magical girl. Had Elroy found them a patron? She immediately used a shadow to get down to street level before reverting back into her human form. As soon as she stepped out of the ally she was hiding in, Elroy spotted her.
“I win!” The incubus said with a grin. “I found this scarf girl in my travels. She's all about making friends and protecting people. And don't let her cool exterior fool you, she's quite timid. Definitely your type.” He pulled his arm out from around Shannon's and lightly pushed her towards Regina.
Regina sighed, but didn't back away from their potential friend. She eyed her carefully, biting at her thumb nail as her eyes passed over the woman. Regina wasn't sure how reliable this girl would be in the long run, but it wasn't often they found someone who could tolerate Elroy's attitude. The temptation was to transform again so that she could look into Shannon's mind, but there was no reason to revert to such aggressive tactics yet. This was a potential ally after all.
“Hello, I'm Regina.” She looked away from Shannon. “I'm sure Elroy has already told you a little bit about me, as well as our situation.” She hugged herself gently and looked at the stone magical girl out of the corner of her eye. “I would like us to be friends, but our situation has made it difficult for us to work with just anyone. We have needs tended to, at least for the time being.” She closed her eyes with a sigh. “We have no patron, nothing material to offer. But we are capable fighters that can fight on you or your patron's behalf. While we cannot control our auras, we are very difficult to pinpoint and can move around the city very quickly.” She opened her eyes again. “But we really need a source of coins and protection. Just a place where we can sleep without worry. If you could provide either of those, or know where we could find such things...” She turned her body to face Shannon again. “I believe an alliance, and even friendship, could soon follow.”
One of them is the dude from steins gate. I think the pictures are all of people who use time travel to try and solve a problem and fail... many times.
I can see @DarkwolfX37's confusion, as time girls can passively sense gravity distortions because they distort time in the CYOA. But it doesn't say they can sense time distortions.
