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.

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.
#2) I decided not to take us all the way to the NoC YET. I will do that over the weekend most likely. I thought it would be bad to just cut directly to the NoC being how Jezebel handled the situation. I would be up for writing a collab or doing some back and forth with Jezebel and/or Denis if anyone wants to collab.
#3) I've tried to contact a few people, and if you're tagged in this announcement, you're one of the few people who are still active in this RP. @Aewin has been "semi-active" in discord, but I know most everyone else is either not interested in posting or is MIA. Point is, if you have any collabs in the works, you might want to post them before the time skip to the noc arrives.
Stanislav Petrov was once the most powerful man in the world. It was his job to decide moment to moment if the Russians would fire nuclear missles in response to a threat. He could start and end a nuclear war with the push of a button. Despite the power he held under his finger, he was not a celebrity, politician, or anyone else that you would view as being a powerful person. What made his position interesting was that he had little controll beside nuking the world or not nuking it. Outside of that, he had little urgency in other people's lives.
Sometimes, Tonya felt that way about her spool of thread.
She could do so many things since she knew what the future had in store for her, for everyone. There were a lot of things she could do, from correctly guess the lottery every day to leading a perfect life. Yet here she was, serving an unspeaking, uncaring patron. Ensuring whatever was suppose to happen, did. Never challenging the higher powers, always conforming.
She had to follow the law of the universe.
That was expected of all civilians.
But especially those in law enforcement.
Even so, Tonya's head was filled with "what if" scenarios as she turned the spool over in her hand. Well, if she did something wrong, that would probably be it for employment by her new boss. Probably best to not even think about those things.
(And Helga Too)
It was noon, and Boteg had called all of the magical girls under his control to a meeting. Typically the golden dragon would remain hidden in the confines of the upper floors, but it was easier to talk about what was going on with everyone assembled, instead of via telepathic link. Fortunately, the golden trove was no stranger to big business meetings. Once upon a time, the original owners noticed that their rooms were largely rented out by business startups, corporate branches, and other such groups of people. They installed their own conference hall that they could rent out to those who needed one. Though at the moment, it was open for their use. Boteg had shape shifted into a man in a blue tuxido, but kept his head very much as it usually appeared. He was standing in front of a projection screen, and in front of him was a long table with Su, Helga, and Mika in attendance. They had all transformed, and were waiting to see what their patron was going to say.
” Me thinks it would be right splendid if thou could listen to me hither.” The dragon nodded before resting his hands on the podium. His smooth human hands didn't match his scaly face.
Mika glanced between Helga and Su. ”So he's going to tell us about the terrifying one?”
”He's going to try.” Su folded her arms.
”A time ago, there be many gold dragons like myself. We doth lived on a far off world, creating gold and treasure in peace. Making such treasures and adding to our hordes was most splendid. We did need to trade them away for important commodities, but verily that was our nature.” The dragon shooh his head. ”I had me a family, friends... and that was when it sent the terrible shadow at us!”
Mika sat up. ”Terrible shadow, what did that lo-”
”A Terrible shadow from the Terrible one! It hath destroyed everything!” Boteg pounded the podium with his fist. ”This not be the first attack, but it was the last. I had me no one left!” He groaned. ”I flew me to this blue marble, only to find the terrible one was here too. And he hath come for me. That is why we must slay his champion!”
”But the Terrible shadow, what did it look like?” Mika pouted.
”It hath a head that look like a cross between a black nipper and a sparkle swimmer.” The dragon stroked his chin. ”Claws like... orange spinners!” He looked around frantically. ”And toes verily be cotton suffers!”
”It's no use.” Su whispered. ”It's impossible to get specifics out of him. Boteg just barely understands how we think and process information.”
”Oh.” Mika looked at Boteg. ”Sorry big guy. That souds horrible.”
”But I have some leads.” Su looked at the list she made earlier. ”The terrible one's champion is either a beacon girl or Mariette. Going anywhere near Beacon right now would be a big mistake for us, so I'd like to see if we can get near Mariette.” She folded up the paper and tucked it away. ”I've been meaning to see Mariette recently anyway, Eli too. Only problem is they are quite reclusive.” She turned to Helga. ”I think you should come with me for this.”
”Does that mean I've gotta hold the fort?” Mika folded her arms.
Su didn't look at Mika. ”It's not an ideal situation for me either. But Helga is a lot better at not drawing attention to herself. You like playing with Boteg anyway, right?”
Mika sighed.”I guess. Gives me a chance to perfect my new trick anyway.” Mika placed a pot on her lap, which had a hole towards the bottom. After fishing her tail into the hole, she picked up a flute and started to play. Only now her tail had transformed into a snake, and was rising out of the pot in her lap.
The world was amazing, but the story is lacking when it comes to good descriptions. There's just too much to understand, and little of it is explained to the reader. An example of this is how you make it a point to tell us that Adelaide is a human, but say nothing of the other races at the council meeting. Due to the prompt, I has assumed that they were all robots, until a few fleshy details came into play. It is very difficult for a reader to grasp what the laws of your world are. It's nothing like our own, and you have fantasy elements, different races(?), technology and magic working side by side, and other things a reader can't understand without a guiding hand. There was enough that you could easily stretch the story out to ten-thousand words and still not fully explain everything.
The relationship between all the characters was interesting, but I was unable to really care about any of them. You made it a point to paint Adelaide as an irredeemable bitch, who's willing to fuck, kill, and lie her way into power. The Dol'Vrah as a whole felt like nothing more than a circle of tyrannical rulers with no one being better than the others.
There were a few spots where words were missing, and other words were “misspelled.” I'm aware that words are spelled differently in different parts of the world. So this doesn't feel worthwhile going over with you. There were very few errors of this nature regardless.
I did like how the metal age was introduced, and it was interesting how it wasn't a purely metal menace but rather armored dwarves. I wish we got to know more about what the driving force behind the dwarves however. Unfortunately the story focused most of it's time on Mikhal's friends and their connections, which didn't contribute anything of value to the main story for the most part. Side stories aren't bad if you desire more character development, but we never discovered why the dwarves decided to attack, or how they acquired their steam tech. There was even a chance to convey some of this to the reader when they actually captured a dwarf. Even if we ignore those missing details, a lot of stuff just felt very dry, despite the story having 12K words.
When it was dark enough he decided to take his chances and sneak through the camp. He managed to get a few metres in when one of the dwarves noticed him. With a sigh he rose his hands and surrendered. At least he’d get where he wanted to be, but escaping would be a lot harder now.
This could have been an intense scene that kept the reader on the edge of their seat. But there is no suspense. It is simply told and over with in four sentences. It feels mundane and flat.
In the future, I would recommend plotting the course of your story so that you can decide what scenes are most important. From there, you can decide assign a “word budget” to scenes or remove unimportant ones. As an example, you used 1K words to get Mikhal a horse from the point where he decided he'd need one.
I can appreciate an attempt to throw the reader into the thick of the story, but the opening felt rushed. A better start probably would have been jumping to the faeries flying inside the robot and then remarking on that information through dialog or narration.
There were also an excessive amount of commas during certain passages. Take this one for example.
‘C’mon!’ Inga shouted as she drifted in front of him, drifting through this tiny tube of cooling fluid intake with her pink wings fluttering. Rochus frowned a little, annoyed that she had called him as if he wasn’t already intending on following, but nonetheless followed after. Behind them, Signy followed with doubt in her eyes, but still intending to help them out.
Most of the sentences in here could benefit from replacing a comma with a period and rephrasing the newly created sentence. It's not wholly incorrect, it's just the information could be made more clear if it came across like so.
‘C’mon!’ Inga shouted as she drifted in front of Rochus. Her pink wings fluttered as she drifted through a cooling fluid intake tube. Rochus frowned in response. He was annoyed that she had called him as if he wasn’t already following her. He followed after her regardless. Behind him, Signy followed with doubt in her eyes. Despite the look on her face, she intended to help them regardless of what hardship they faced.
This is not the only way to do it, and I don't even think it's the best way. But you can see how ajusting the order of the information makes the scene easier to follow. That was really my most pressing concerns grammatically speaking.
The faeries were interesting characters to contend with the menacing, non-magical machines. I did enjoy reading about their childish antics and you did give them each different personalities. The arms race between the mythical creatures and the robots that were trying to fairy proof themselves was also an interesting plot point. I was a bit thrown off by the inclusion of other mythical races and why they hadn't been wiped out by such severe radiation poisoning. I also thought it was a bit weird that the robots had these central servers that nobody thought about attacking until they discovered how to do soul magic. Not your best work, but an entertaining read. Great name for the story, by the way.
The writing was very solid. However, you wrote in first person instead of second person for a single sentence. I also feel this point of view would have been stronger if you never revealed the character's name and sex, or found a way to do so much sooner. But these were very minor. you know what you're doing.
I liked the story. You were able to build up a large number of characters and a setting using very few words. I felt like I knew Mary before her body was discovered, and Clover was very well defined both through her dialog and “your” mental notes about her. The twist was a bit predictable though.
The writing is perfect, which is what I would expect from a short entry and you. Fine work.
I've seen all dialog style stories and this is definitely one of the better uses of the format. There was a perfect balance of saying just enough to establish a story, with the right details left to the reader to create their own conclusions. If I had to point something out, it would be that the story is purely an event and doesn't really feature strong character personalities. But I realize that's more my preference as a reader than a fault in the story itself.
There were a few typos here and an unneeded comma there, but nothing too major considering the length of the piece.
I found the world building to be very well done. Even when the story seemed to repeat itself, it was done in a way that was interesting to read. The lore was rich, and the news articles were an interesting way to tackle information that might have disrupted the flow. I was expecting a little more out of the ending though. The story was just a means to show us how the program functioned. There was no resolution, or even the suggestion that there would be a resolution.
Thanks for sharing.
Batten Vally by Silver gets my vote. What can I say? I'm a sucker for characters.
I also enjoyed Sunday and the Program as close seconds.
Alright, so if nothing happens by the end of the week, I'm going to take steps to start actually moving things forward. Hopefully the unofficial hiatus was good for those who needed it.
I'm going to hit the ground running and start the NoC up next week, so you may discuss among yourselves OOC which badge you plan on having your characters wear. just make sure anything you have planned comes out in IC
Now, some of you may have spotted the loophole where you do not necessarily have to wear just one badge. And in typical Danganronpa fashion, you most certainly may wear both badges! But good luck getting either sides to not kill you on sight.
The giant wolf was on the move. Its movements were slow, with several seconds passed between each step. There was no doubt about it, this thing was hunting them. The wolf's growling got louder with every word the group spoke. Even at their distance, they could see black saliva drip out of the beast's mouth. It had circled around the side of the table that was closest to the kitchen, but furthest away from the hallway. It's eyes were locked with theirs. A single movement could send the beast into a sprint.
Center road, The Golden Quarter, Priestella
The ride was fairly quiet, as everyone was still a bit shaken up over what happened. Of course, that didn't stop Vasilis from speaking.
”So Yea, magic is...” He rubbed his chin. ”Really hard to explain. It actually took me a long time to get to the point where I could make explosions. But with fire as your element, do you need any other spells?” He sighed. ”I wonder if there's someone out there, in any world, who feels the same way I do about explosions...”
It did not take long for everyone to get to the Golden Quarter. Vasilis stepped out of the cab first, and helped Irene, Chieko, Aerith, and Hiro down in that order.
”Whoa! Foreigners!” A wolf girl who looked strangely familiar was standing behind a vendor 's counter. To her left were several fruits and vegetables, and to her right were some modest clothes. ”Woops! That slipped out! Let me try that again.” She puffed out her chest and placed her hands on her hips. ”Welcome to Miles' Emporium, where we sell everything you need to enrich your life!” She gestured to the items to either side of her. ”And what's more important than a full stomach and the clothes on your back?” The wolf girl's chest deflated with a cough. ”You guys mind if we aren't so formal with each other?” She folded her hands behind her head. ”I'm Fritzi. if you need anything, I can get it for you. Even if it's just directions.
Eiko and Aki Came out of the dead end ally not too far away from Miles' Emporium. There was no sign of Helga or the guard.
”Near the docks”, Cham, Priestella
Aer Fully expected the situation to get out of hand, but not like this. The three cultists/bandits/foreigners in front of her were all reacting differently, which confused her greatly. One seemed to be eager to get taken to the authorities, while another begged to remain, and the third one (their leader?) was conversing with a demi human who invited himself into this gathering. He was by no means a tall person, but it didn't take much to stand above Aer's head. She shifted side to side to try and look past the feline demi-human.
"Um." Aer flicked her eyebrows up before leaning to her left. "Sir?" She leaned to her right. "Wisp?" She waved her hand in an attempt to get his attention. "We do not have proof at the time that the magical device he holds is even his." Aer leaned to her left once again. Her brow furrowed once more. "You could be in danger. Cultists or not, this could turn into a hostage situation very quickly. I need to ask you to stand back."
At the mention of hostages, the crowd forming around the group seemed to recede a bit.
Alright, I am one hell of a wet towel, and probably not the type of person this thread is suppose to attract. But let me just explain why this idea sounds like so much fun but tends to turn into cancer really quickly.
I think we all know why this idea sounds great already. Because due to the magic of the internet, it is the one place where you could be literally anything and interact with anyone. Like you mentioned already, you could be a super sayan and surround yourself with waifus, or something too strange for most other RPs. In an idealistic world, everyone would get to do what they wanted in the same RP. And that's magical. But when people try to execute ideas like this, it quickly becomes a mess.
The first problem you have is the power scale. You have a lot of different worlds with different levels of power. The entire cast of dead or alive couldn't hope to stand a chance against a sayan, let alone a super sayan. If said super sayan happens to also be a dick, he could easily blow up earth after taking his harem safely to another planet. Sewer surfing ant can't do jack all about it. Even if you put a "no douche bags aloud." rule in effect, you're still going to need to think of challenges that are worthy of a super sayan, but still able to be completed by a sewer surfing ant, slime girl maido, or whoever else joins this RP. What happens sadly is that your RP groups develop into cliques, and they never really interact with each other if they can help it. But you'll have a lot of in fighting before that, and some people will just outright leave the RP. It can also be hard to decide which rules from which world to enforce.
Closest thing I got to playing a youtube poop RP was a crazy feudal japan era RP. I had a fire sword that when swung into an icy tundra, it turned it into a beach, complete with sunbathing supermodels, surf shops, etc. What I've found is that in a place like that where there is so little reason, it can be difficult to tell a story that players can take seriously. Also, it at times turned into a war to see who could be more silly and "funny" and it just sort of evolved into some nonsensical nightmare.
I think trying to do something so open ended is a very bad idea. Something like this might work if you can get everyone on the same page. Limit the randoms, find some reason for super sayans to not be able to wipe out planets if you plan on allowing them, and find a reasonable level for the silliness where things can be funny, but not so absurd that they break the world.
What is there to say? They aren't widely used because it's a fad. It's important to let everyone know what you plan on doing in the RP. We don't want the story filled with big sword wielding emos with spiky hair. We don't want a bunch of characters with zero chemistry, and sometimes we just want to see what your character is all about. There's a reason why nobody opts to let people just jump in on more serious Rps.
Faceclaims? Real life? Anime? Digital? Hand drawn? None?
This is preference, and I honestly don't think it really matters as long as it fits the theme of the RP. I wouldn't join an anime RP with a RL face claim, no more than I would join a WWII era RP with an anime face claim if the RP is trying to be an authentic war story.
But if you want to hear my personal preferences, each type of picture has its ups and downs. Anime characters tend to be more about the outfits, so you don't get more minute details represented in anime pictures, like square jaws or facial creases. I actually like this, because it takes things like my character's race out of the equation. Real life is okay, but more often than not people tend to use celebrities or other overly pretty people. Even though most anime characters are inherently “attractive,” I find the readers have a bit more leeway in deciding if a character is attractive for themselves, where the extra details almost force you to perceive a character a certain way. Which is not to say the limited body types for animecharacters isn't a problem sometimes. Digital and hand drawn tends to fall between the two, sharing the benefits and drawbacks of one or the other. Honestly, I use to go without pictures, but I got tired of people forgetting details. A picture at the very least puts everyone on the same page.
Color codes?
Coloring headers and the like to make a character sheet look sharp is fine if you know what you're doing. I'm not a huge fan of gradients, super dark colors, eye burn blue, etc. But I think that has more to do with the guild BG not being a web safe color and changing on everyone's devices. The gradient fans have no excuse though. Especially when they use ugly gradients.
What's the 'right amout' of images?
Images are kind of data intensive for some people, so the fewer the better. But if you want to have a picture of a character or a weapon, sure, include it.
Freeform or GM provided code?
I like to fill out a GM provided code and maybe make small edits to it to personalize it, when I'm feeling cheeky. As a GM, I also like providing code to get a certain level of consistency.
Things that should be be included/excluded?
What should be included is everything the GM needs to know to run the RP, and everything else should be excluded. I tend to raise an eyebrow when I see weird fields like my character's marital status or measurements that go beyond height and weight. If it's not important to the RP, it's just a waste of time. Same with passwords.
What is your character creation process? Is character creation just all together overrated?
My character creation process varies depending on what I'm trying to do. The two processes I use most in recent times I have nicknamed the “who is this?” process and the “Revamp” Process.
“Who is this” essentially has me looking for a picture for a character to play in an RP. I sometimes know certain aspects of the character I want to play, and find a picture that matches. I will avoid going for face claims where I know the character well, or ones that have a severe lack of accessories or design features. Once I have a picture, I will ask myself questions about them. Why they are wearing every article of clothing, why their face is like that, etc. From these questions I will get data that I can create more questions with, and the process repeats until I've created the character.
“Revamp” is a bit different, as I'll look for a character I know a bit about. I don't necessarily need a picture for this, just a character in mind. Though I will always go for a character that I don't like. Preferably one that I hate everything about. The next step is to decide what this character's “job” was in story, and make adjustments to make the character different and enjoyable to play. The end result is usually a character that has a similar flavor to the old character, but is nothing like them and is actually one I respect.
And character creation is most certainly not overrated. Some people do get a bit too caught up creating a character and don't spend enough time actually playing them, but having an interesting character with desires that make sense is not something to be overlooked.

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.</span><br><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">Name:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">Broken Promise, BP, Boss</div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">Age:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)</div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">Preferred RPs:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">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.</div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">Preferred Roles:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">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.</div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">RP Conquests:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">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 <a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/157933-danganronpa-tower-of-carnage-finished/ic">Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage</a>. 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. <a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/173392-re-zero-the-high-council/ic">Re: Zero: The High Council</a> 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...<br><br>Last RP I finished was <a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/186698-symphony-of-espers/ooc">Symphony of Espers</a> which turned out pretty good.</div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">RP's in progress:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">For some reason I can't seem to stay away from <a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/180148-darkest-before-the-dawn-a-cyoa-magical-girl-roleplay/ic">Ari's magical girl RP</a>, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it. <br><br>As for my own projects, I'm doing <a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/191774-symphony-on-high/ic">Symphony on High</a> to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.</div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">RP Graveyard:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">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.<br><br>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.</div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">Other interests:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent"><span class="bb-b">Videos</span><br><div class="bb-indent">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 <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHsRtomD4twRf5WVHHk-cMw">Tier Zoo</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJfJWct8jN1RpCuVWk3zHTA">Daryl Talks Games</a>, and I’ll also watch things like <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJPFQdZwrOutnmSFYtbstA">Critical Drinker</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz1fTbwui7o5aDZ6W1dOLTQ">Literature Devil</a> to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD6VugMZKRhSyzWEWA9W2fg">Sseth</a>, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.</div> <br><span class="bb-b">Games</span><br><div class="bb-indent">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.</div><br><span class="bb-b">Painting Minis</span><br><div class="bb-indent">I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...</div><br><span class="bb-b">Music</span><br><div class="bb-indent">I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.</div></div><br><span class="bb-b"><font color="silver">Personality:</font></span><br><div class="bb-indent">Not one to take life or the internet too seriously.
