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.

"Evil eye is bein’ SUPER LEWD AND I LOVE IT!"

— Suki Oyama


"Blanket forts." Oros wondered out loud. "Next time, you should try incorporating a kotatsu into your design. I’m, actually, starting to feel a little cold."

She was only half listening to everything else, and the reason why became apparent as soon as the golem vanished. While the bone giant was defeated with relative ease compared to their last encounter, it still hit like a truck. Suki’s back had been opened up and the blood mohawk that the golem had been rocking was now coursing up and down Suki’s back. Despite being bludgeoned, the attack was strong enough to tear open her skin. She was slouched, which was either to make room for all the tentacles on her back or because her spine had been wrecked. It wasn’t until Evil Eye took her hand that she seemed to regain her focus.

"Uh, sis?" Oros tapped the back of Evil Eye’s hand with her thumb. "You uh, sure you wanna be holding me like this?" In truth, her geas acted slowly enough that Evil Eye would have plenty of time to return to Hibusa town before things got weird. Though it usually wasn’t something most wanted to risk. The bone giant and its minions were already dissipating, and her blood skates would keep her high enough off the ground that she wouldn't be at risk of getting burned.

Though the current arrangement wasn’t something she objected to.




"The curtain"



"...Falls"


The Michis were no longer taking hold of Hizuki. The paladin was hovering in the air, but the dark mass of despair still descended. Maybe she was being assimilated, or maybe she was trying to find the beast's heart. Not to rip it out and destroy it, but to see what it yearned for. But her vision grew darker as she slipped deeper inside the Michi swarm, with their desire to destroy everything surrounding her.

Suika’s plan of attack was set. When the Michis came for her, she reached back. After some consideration, she used most of her remaining power to surge something into the ball of despair. She did not choose to force some idea onto Black Gate, but instead chose to make her content, eventually.

It was hard to overwhelm so many entities. At first it seemed like all Acid Drop was able to do was make the entity swell more. Such a confused array of emotions had a similar effect on the Michis as it did the apes from earlier. But if they reacted strongly to strong emotions, what would happen when they were introduced to something more subtle?

Hizuki was buried, completely shrouded in darkness. Then ribbons of light appeared around her. First one, then two. Then all at once the walls of Hizuki’s tomb lit up. In the center of the mass was a void that containedBlack Gate, curled up like a fetus. She held the plush with one hand and sucked her thumb on the other.

The ribbons of light were Michis that had been infected by Acid Drop’s magic. Without their deep resentment, they lit up and burned away. But with Acid Drop’s stockpile depleting, and Hizuki’s armor running out of power, there was only one thing to do in this situation. To rescue whatever it was that still remained of Black Gate.

Hizuki wrapped her arms around the goat woman and, with a sharp tug, was able to tear her free from whatever Mr Bana had turned into. The back lit up and burned away, and Hizuki was able to make a second daring escape today, this time in the real world.

Mr Banana and what remained of the Michis collapsed on themselves, swirling into nothingness. Like an appeased ghost, there was no reason to haunt the world anymore. What remained of the school was safe, for now.

Hizuki could not land gracefully. Her armor had depleted most of her mana and was falling off of her body. Her arms gave way and Michi tumbled across the ruined school grounds. Acid drop began to lose altitude as well.

Black Gate didn’t move from her spot on the floor. She remained in the fetal position, hugging her plush cat against her chest. Typically Haruna would be able to sense what Black Gate wanted, or at least get an idea. But Black Gate wasn’t giving off anything. It was as if she was truly content, and wanted nothing in this moment.


"New babe?"

— Suki Oyama


Even as the acid ate away at the detention club, none of them relented. Oros held firm on the skeleton’s arm while Evil Eye attempted to throw the giant. It was a massive amount of weight, but one that got lighter with every blow Earthshaker delivered to the creature. And the undead birds were no match for the combined might of Nyxia and the newly arrived.

It opened all of its mouths, likely to spew more bile, but Earthshaker struck first. She vaporized the disgusting bird creature and struck the giant straight in the chest. It cracked wide open, and a geyser of black bile erupted.

Oros and Evil eye combined were able to fling the creature. It’s ruined torso folded in half, which made it much easier to throw the creature off the mountainside. It didn’t roll far, but it didn’t have to. It flattened twenty trees before coming to rest at the foot of the mountain. Its body was shattered, and there was no more bile for it to leak out.

Nyxia and the stranger had taken care of all the filthy birds. They didn’t have time to retreat or die on their own. Her laser sawed through the last one’s neck, and it’s beak corkscrewed through the air before landing on the gore of its allies. The acidic bile, along with the remains of the miseria, sunk into the earth. But not its dark emotions. The dark girls could feel that power surging into themselves. Any soreness they had felt moments ago had lessened. They had grown stronger.

But they hadn’t won, not yet.

The sun was up in the sky, but the moon was falling out of the sky. They could rush back as fast as they could, but in their hearts they knew it would be too late to do anything. Only Oros was oblivious to this.

"That last hit was pretty hard. Are spleens important?"




"We trust that we cannot trust."



"We are together in that we are all lonely."


The ball of Michis were not content to merely be an obstacle. Some of them continued to stretch and wind around Hizuki, even as she kept the bulk of them up. Their voices cried out in unison.

"You are not one of them, and they know it. The Detention Club, school, you will always be an outsider wherever you go. The only people who could have ever loved you are dead."

Acid Drop wasn’t spared either, though she was further away and the ribboned Michis would have to reach for her.

"A weed is a parasite. It is incapable of benefiting its host. You rob others of their joy merely so that you can live a hollow existance."


"I just got here myself."

— Ani


Ani tipped her head. "Aren’t you guys cute! But I already have sufficient data on everyone here, just not what happened over the past few…minutes? I was curious what happened while I was buried under all those swords, and figured we’d have a new detective at this point. Thank you for catching me up!" Some hearts floated over her head as she winked at the twins. "Let’s save the date until after we save the world. It would really kill the vibe if the world ended mid date would it not." Then, almost as an afterthought, Ani turned to Penny. "I’m Ani! I’m everyone’s favorite AI girlfriend!" Her smile disappeared. "Well, not yours, and not your girlfriend’s either." Her brow dropped. "But you’d better stay in your lane, got it?" After holding that look for a second or two, she cracked a smile. "It doesn’t sound like we have time to play right nowd, let’s go!"

And with that, Ani started to walk back towards Penrose. A cloud of nanites raced to stitch her body together wherever the knives had cut her.






"You might not like it, but this is what peak magical fitness looks like."

— Chloe Irving



"Send you a text message?" Chloe raised an eyebrow. "And what? Have the jealous little toaster spy on everything we say?" She didn’t really care, of course. People who wore as little as Chloe did left little to the imagination. "Besides, I’d rather hold onto you than my phone."

Were the pennybots talking about her or the Ascendancy? Probably the Ascendancy. It was clear Penny still missed her deeply and was just putting on a brave front.






"Intelegence is my dump stat."

"Mika are you okay, are you okay, are you okay Mika?"

— Su Fang & Mika Sarraf




Su wasn’t sure how, why, or even if, but maybe Mika knew what she was doing.

The mad queen (but not of science) fell right in line with Alice’s story and started reciting the known rules of combat. Though it was doubtful that she could have predicted that she’d have an arena waiting for them, with white and red horses and matching armor. The temptation was to spirit Marriette out of there along with Mika, but what would that accomplish? The queen would follow them, and likely with her forces.

"Alice was only able to match the queen after she became one herself. Then the goal is to get Mariette to the other side of the board. But where is the board’s edge located: at the nexus, or is that merely the enemy's king?"

Su wondered what sort of foul enchantments the armor might have had placed on them, but there was no backing out now. Mika had already dawned the red armor and pulled the helmet closed over her face. "Become a queen as fast as you can, Alice." Su approached her horse. This left Marriette by herself at the mouth of the portal. Su approached the white horse and began putting on the armor.

"We should have done things like this at the hotel."

Su smiled as she fit her chest plate. It was a tight fit. "We did, although we didn’t get all dressed up." She slid her hand inside a gauntlet. "You always wanted to go meet new people."

"You were always sad." Mika extended her hand, and a card soldier handed her a club. Or rather, placed it in her arms. "You kept talking about Amber. Who was she?"

Su sighed. She turned to Mika and smiled. "She was a very special lady." The corners of her lips trembled. "And I’ll never see her again. But that’s okay. It took me a long time to realize that even if we are immortal, our time together is fleeting. All we can do is enjoy it while it lasts." She lowered her helmet over her face.

Both knights were mounted and armed with their clubs. They leaned forwards, and their horses sprinted forth.









"Just as planned."

— Isra Mahmud


For as surprising and crazy as all this was, it hadn’t really slipped by Isra. Morowa’s oracle powers had been handy for figuring out what they were going to be dealing with well before they got into battle. They say the best laid plans don’t work as well as expected, but they could at least ensure that their first move was a powerful one.

The gauss shot closed in, but all the techno spider had to do was shift its legs for the shot to miss its rider. It had just enough time to mimic Penny as she drew closer. Its massive claw was brought up in front of its body, while it’s other claw and tail were poised to strike. All of Penny’s fists slammed into the scorpion’s claw just as it thrust it’s remaining claw and tail in Penny’s direction. Osiris had to tip her head to avoid getting smacked by the behemoth’s tail.



"I have to hand it to Nykannis. I don't normally like imposters, but I am just like the original."

— Oriko Ishii, Oros the Swift


"Let’s get this party started."

Oriko pulled out a mix pad and played some chill beats. The sky lit up over all the oroses like a disco ball, and a frigid magic took hold of their weapons.

"Are zombies immune to cold damage? Well whatever…"

Like they practiced, Oriko locked eyes with a target out of the crowd and swapped places with them. Once the swap was complete, Oriko was surrounded by a number of stacys, so she quickly dropped a smoke bomb to obscure her position.



"Cooking consistently will yield the same results every time. Thanks to Kate, the doctor had my recipe."

— Amber Bianchi, Oros the Shrewd


Oriko wasn’t the only one rushing the enemy. The other roses were charging as well. Surprisingly, a little cat girl with a giant backpack was leading the charge at one of Osirus’s flanks.

"I do hope the potions went down smoothly!" She shouted back to her companions. "As for those of you ahead of us, huzzah!"

Oros the Shrewd started to exchange blows with a kung-fu corpse girl, where the dual ladler did battle with the hand to hand fighter.



Luana was not copied. It was that demon that lurked inside her that the doctor was interested in.

— Oros the Savage


No sooner was she spawned in did the once goofy hermit undergo a metamorphosis. Luana’s flesh stretched and melded to a new shape, one fitting for a genderless demon more than anything else. Her spear had been absorbed into her form, and only an Oros remained.

With a roar, the most savage of the Oros barreled towards Tactical Triumvirate S.T.A.C.-Y. As soon as their bullets ripped into Savage’s flesh, it was already starting to mend itself shut. The creature thrashed with its arms, tilling the ground and rending everything above it.



"Now that there's two of me, I can eat twice as many hotdogs!"

— Lada, Oros the Inventive


Lada was not running as fast as the others. She lagged behind Savage as she polished off one of her hotdogs, but still had one left over in her other hand.

She noticed Saw Blade Stacy drawing near, and immediately shoved her remaining hotdog into her mouth. Metal nanites covered her body, and she soared towards her chosen opponent. In her metal hands was a metal axe with a metal shaft, and she made it her mission to meet with the saw blade warrior.



"Unfortunate that I don't have a Kate replica to keep me company."

— Oracle Morowa, Oros the Oracle


Morowa sighed, wondering if her contribution to the fight would be enough. She considered flying into the air, but it was safer for her to remain on the ground. She drew her parent’s staff and pointed it into a cluster of stacys. She whispered a few words, and a torrent of wind kicked up, chucking all who were inside it into the air. Then the Oracle aimed at her targets and launched blades of cutting wind towards them.



"Now I can run into my own arms and finally experience love!"

— Suki Oyama, Oros the Joyful


"Hrmph!"

There were no shortage of super cuties here, that was for damn sure! The only problem was who should she pick? There were so many green skinned cuties to pick from, and they all looked to be a lot more friendly than Nyxia. But choice paralysis was setting in. With so many 10s, how do you pick just one?

Then Oriko vanished from her flank, and was replaced by Stich ‘em up Stacy.

White outfit? Check!

Pink hair? Check!

Long hair? Check!

Exotic appearance? Check!

Foreigner? Check!

A personality that doesn’t suck? Double and tripple checked!

There were no words to describe how perfect this woman was for Suki. And quite frankly, she was done thinking. Every pathway in her brain was compelling her to act. Her skin had turned bright red, and even the whites of her eyes had turned a shade of pink. Blood rocketed out of her nose and carried her towards the nurse who had wandered behind enemy lines. Suki’s arms flung open, and her tongue flapped in the open air.



"I'm not the original, but neither is Penny."

— Mika, Oros the Wise


Osirus’s right flank was looking a little empty, with just Wisdom on that side. That would change in a moment, but for now, she was the only one leading the charge. If walking menacingly was considered a charge, that is.

"Hmmm…" Wisdom eyed the battlefield. "Oh! A student! How delightful! Maybe you’ll finally pass my final exam!"

Wisdom extended her arm towards the grimoire powered magical stacy. Normal human reach wouldn’t cut it, so her harm grew longer. Longer, and wider, often expanding in grotesque and uneven ways. Stitch-em-up Stacy might even liken the growth to cancerous polyps if they could even get that big without killing the host. Put more delicately, it looked like wisdom’s hand had been launched off, only the expanding chemtrail was made of rippling, bulbous flesh.

Behind her, three clones split off of her and watched the attack in anticipation.



"I'm a clone, so this is hardly anything new."

— Thalia Alvoy, Oros of Shock and Awe


Thalia knew this was part of the plan, but that didn’t mean she was happy to have her mech picked up in the mouth of another mech. B@B was relatively small, and she couldn’t take too many direct shots like this. It was fortunate that Inventive was able to place nanomachines on her chassis to shield from the initial blow somewhat. It wasn’t all bad though. Despite her craft’s predicament, she had tools for this situation.

"You want something to eat, huh?" She moved her thumb to the top of a hand mounted joystick and pressed a red button. "Breakfast is served!"

The power chord on the back of the toaster jammed itself inside the chomper’s mouth and detonated an EMP. It was enough to release B@B from the death trap, and allowed it to spin free in the sky as god intended. The nanites soared off, their design too futuristic to be bothered by such crude forms of anti-tech.

"Have a pop tart on me!"

Two flat red rockets flew out the top of the toaster and glided straight towards the metal beast’s insatiable mouth.



"Perfection had no equals... Until now."

— Davis Gallo, Oros the Conqueror


"What a bunch of cunts…" Davis was standing even further back than his other fellow Oroses. He adjusted his tie and balled his hands into fists. "Very well, let’s show them what perfection looks like."

Portals opened up behind Davis, and his prized hospital rose out of the ground. The three towers of Axis Mundi went higher and higher into the sky, some hundred or so stories. It dwarfed everything in the battlefield. In the right reality plenum, it was a symbol of humanity’s achievements. Now it was nothing more than a pillar of despair, housing all kinds of mechanical contraptions.

"Alright ladies, see if you can cure their ailments." Davis folded his arms as android teenagers on android horses rode out on either side of him.



"Oh wowwy woo! We're copies of the originals!"

"And the originals were copies of the original!"

"Who gives a fuck?!"

"Everyone seems to be acting as expected. The experiment can commence."

— Alexandria & Willow & Geina & Kyra, Carnage Sisters


Four carnage sisters rode out of Axis Mundai. They took to Wisdom’s right flank and scalloped towards the stacys.



"Oh my! Everyone's just as hot as their originals."

"Quit actin' like a two bit hoe, or I'll gut them genitals off."

"Wouldn't it be easier just to sow her shut?"

"ERROR! CONVO.EXE_IS_TOO_FREAKIN_WEIRD! ATTEMPTING_IMMEDIATE_REBOOT_SEQUENCE!"

— Napoleon & Adar & Julia & Monika, Carnage Sisters


Four more, substantially more dangerous carnage sisters took Wisdom’s left flank, but gave Penny and Osirus plenty of room.



"She says she doesn't love me, but who did she decide to make a backup of?"

— Mika, Oros the Mad


"I wonder if a map would be good for this battle, I think I’m going to start losing track of things."

While Madness ran down the left side of Osirus to join up with the other Oroses, her eyes were locked on Penny as she did so.
@The World I hadn't realized our cast was so socially awkward.

Her backstory might need to be updated a little, since I'm sure she's been in Pax for more than a week by now. But I'm not gunna stress over that for a returning character.

Marrie "Gale sometimes" Knight is looking good. She can *Gara Gura theme* her way to the Character tab.
@Nakushita Looks good. Squizzle is accepted. But before swimming her over to the character tab remember to list her max MP, which should be 30.
@Nakushita

Your genre doesn't have the max MP listed next to capacity, which should be (30). You also have 5 notes at the three casting levels when you should only have 3. Increase your capacity (while reducing an other attribute or two) or lower the number of notes you have.

You've shorted yourself 20 credits. Redistribute a grade of wealth onto something else or buy 20 credits worth of items.

I don't typically like Aigorost name drops in backstories (or any horror really) but Himiko does seem like the only person other than Oros the Mad that might ramble about a patron she's never met before. Nothing needs to be changed, just commenting.

Also what's "Squisy"? I noticed you underlined those letters and I can't make heads or tails of it. Also you have a strike through a random "h" for some reason. Squishy? I dunno, seems kinda silly.

Take care of that and we'll see about getting you approved.
@Emeth Watchers are pretty easy to swap between, so that sounds fine by me. And it's not like a watcher will ever lock you hard into doing something. It just tends to provide incentives for certain play styles. If you intend for Nina to be hard to get along with, you might find it thematic that her watcher prevents her from reaching her full potential when trying to work with others.

There's no issue with the sheet, 'twas but a meme. Tacticool uniforms tend to be seen as a GEMINI aesthetic but there are always outliers. Mika looks like an Arabian dancer when transformed despite being GEMINI. Nina was a freelancer and dances to her own tune so it makes sense that she wouldn't look like the metalheads/cyberpunks of Maverick Alternative.
I keep forgetting to mention some stuff, so I'll do it now that I won't be double posting.

-RP's gunna start at the end of next week, on the 18-19th.

-I'll be adding more NPCs to the character tab. Some will be new, some will be returning like the cat girl I added.

-Watchers are 100% meta and have no real effect on how the horrors regard your characters in story. Heiphorion and Bicoradoon might seem similar to Aigorost in that they do nothing, but that won't be the case in SoM. Their gimmicks just aren't compatible with a short form RP like this. Heiphorion makes it easier for brooding loners to be brooding loners and Bicoradoon wants to see your character go out in a blaze of glory.
@Emeth

*Looks over sheet.*

That's an awful lot of tech ware for a Maverick, but posting in the character tab ahead of an approval is a very maverick thing to do. I'll allow it I suppose.

Nina looks pretty solid. I'd tell you to float her over to the character tab, but you know...
