and me.

Welcome to my little personal den of Hell! Sorry, sorry, I meant my personal profile. Same thing, right? 

I'm a roleplayer, same as any around here. I've been doing it for about five years now, coming up to six in September. Its been quite the time, thinking back. I started out fresh as can be, understanding the basics of writing but never quite knowing how to become better, or become as great as those around me. In the end, I did the only thing I really knew at the time:

Write as much garbage as possible and hope for the best!

As you can see, that particular tactic fucking failed.
Jokes aside, I like to think I've developed a lot over the years, both as a writer and as a person. However, absolutely nothing can dissuade my weeaboo ways and supporting my OTP with all that I can freaking muster! If you haven't already guessed, said OTP is Chrom x Robin (Chrobin) from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Highly recommend the game, there's a reason (other than nintendo's cheapskate attitude) that it hasn't dropped in price, it's honestly the best place to start off in the series. And hey, maybe you'll end up addicted like me and want to buy every game on the 3DS like a fucking loony?

Speaking of loonies, the Fire Emblem Chrobin Comic Dub Project has recently finished, so for those of you who also appreciate the best ship in existence, I highly recommend it. Hell, even if you're not interested in that, I do highly recommend watching it for those into fantasy love stories. The quality improves drastically with each episode, so trust me when I say by the end of it you should be thoroughly impressed. It has helped motivate me in ways I can hardly describe with words, and so I thought the least I could do was put this out there. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.
	
"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?"
"Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."
"So I heard."
	
"There are better places
to take a nap than 
on the ground, you know."
	
There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.

There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. 
Goodbye Octopi.

There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. 

And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious. Food was eaten and no-one enjoyed it. Movies were released, and there was no laughing, or crying. No-one chuckled at a joke. Ever.
Space collapsed back on itself, eventually, and there hadn't been a single moment of sentience in the entire history of creation.

There's another universe, where the strong force is too strong the weak force is too weak and nothing forms.
Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. 
Another with too many dimensions.
Another with not enough.
Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn
to survive.
Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion.
And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution.
An atlas of dead-ends.

Then again, there is one exception.

There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness.
And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. 
It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life.

4/7 Early Morning - Maki-Maki Residence

Pain. It's a beautiful sensation. 
The crimson sheen that blood glistens, aged like fine wine, drips from the wrist of the wicked, coating the edge of the blade in red. 
Koi was in ecstasy. The feeling of a slit wrist felt just right... It always served as a wonderful means of sharp, painful pleasure. Although it never lasted long, her senses would always be overwhelmed when exposed to the will of the blade, and it's urge to cut, thin and slow.

Blood.
It dripped from her arm to the waiting old towel below. It served it's purpose well, claiming the blood of the unholy, to be used for the coming ritual. She couldn't help but grin as she began to imagine what kind of devilish scheme she could come up with using this blood. Perhaps a summoning of an ancient demon? Or perhaps something to bring misfortune to the people of her school? Or maybe even luck to herself? When it came to the occult, Koi's imagination went wild!

Koi Maki-Maki was the sole member of the Occult Investigation Club: a formerly official school club turned unofficial when it's members were no longer able to keep up it's practice. She, herself, was a hardcore occult addict, and loved all things creepy or messed up in the world. One could say she was a perfect imitation of ruin and mischief, causing excitement wherever she went!

Well, excitement for herself.

As the crisp morning air set in she could sense the faint tingling from her arm begin to run dry, and so she quickly swept up the remaining red liquid with speed and precision. She knew all the right places to sweep, starting at the edges and steadily making her way to the center, before covering the wound and cleaning it with a splash of water. Obviously not holy, because holy water was blessed by the so-called "gods" of this realm, and she didn't want to be tainted with their goodness.

Wrapped finally with a bandage disguised as a charm, and she reverted to her... less sadistic self. Laying back down on her bed, Koi sighed softly as she stared up at the ceiling, staring at the bandage which now protected her arm from outside dangers. She noted that it would likely look cute to some, though she wasn't big on cute things...
... At least not publicly, anyway. 
As her arm began to feel tired, she gave it the comfort of rest by cuddling up to one of her many pillows. This specific pillow had absorbed many a shed tear from Koi, acting as the Maki-Maki girl's only real comfort against those around her. However, it hadn't seen any tears from Koi in quite awhile. She'd learned how to stop crying, how to stop caring.
Koi learned how to be numb.

'Imbeciles...' She thought to herself, as her mind became wrought with tormenting memories. 'They're all just idiots... The lot of them...! They didn't know what I was going through... they didn't even care! I hate them. I hate them! I despise them so much I could kill them...!'

... It wasn't uncommon for Koi's mind to turn in the direction it presently was. It was hard to be anything else, if you'd lived a life of suffering like she had. Koi had nobody to talk to about these things, and so... she'd often let it build up inside. It would lead to yet another slit on her wrist, and everything would begin all over again...

She left the knife on the desk, in case she felt she needed it again.

4/7 Late Afternoon - Maki-Maki Residence

Koi awoke to the sound of her mother banging on the door.

"Koi? We don't have much money for food, so we're going to eat out tonight at the Silver Dragon. Apparently everything is really cheap tonight!" Despite the slight stumble in her speech, Koi's mother sounded quite excited. It was a rare pleasantry, and Koi was more than thankful of the divines for blessing upon her a happy mother this night. Her mind thought it was due to the blood sacrifice she'd made earlier - a sign of a good harvest. In truth, her mother was actually happy that they could get some cheap food for once.

Koi's mother left without another word, heading to her room to get ready, no doubt. Koi herself made no attempt at letting her mother know she'd be coming, since she had a feeling she already knew. After all, disobeying mother was like a death wish.
Especially if she were intoxicated.
Although only slightly, Koi could tell her mother had taken to a shot of alcoholic beverage. Although alcohol was said to be one of Satan's creations to sway the minds of men, Koi couldn't help but disagree. Wine, and other such alcoholic beverages, as Koi had hypothesized, was invented by Christ as a means of swooning them over to the side of god. It only helped their case that the intoxication could make persuasion even more effective on mortals...

She was already dressed, naturally in black, with her dress making her look more like some European noblewoman than anything else. Or an evil bride. Regardless, she didn't quite care. If others stared upon her magnificence and couldn't comprehend her choice, well, that was their misfortune. 
She hesitated when she was about to leave. There was one thing she just couldn't leave home without:

Her journal.

Deftly she took the book from its resting place on the desk, and with that, she headed out...

In Of Gunpowder and Grit (Steampunk Fantasy, Seeking Co-Op) → 10 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay

Character Name:
"Derin Polaymy. Yes, it's pronounced 'pole-ayy-me'. Takes people forever to work that out."

Sex|gender:
"Definitely straight male, duh! Though I did drink this one weird concoction one time which would have you think otherwise, hehe!"

Race:"Human. At least I'd hope so. Just between you and me, those Ornok's are quite... smelly. I mean, I smell pretty bad, but not that bad... right? Right?"


"I swear to god, try even touching my ass and I'll have you on the dirt, fucko."


Distinguishing features:
"You mean aside from my hair? Well... no. I mean I don't get scars because I typically try to avoid the bullets as much as possible. But anyways, my hair; there are nobles out there who'd love a piece of it! I mean, isn't it awesome? Golden orange with a tint of red at the- oh, next question? OK..."

Age:
"Three. Wait, you wanted physical age, right? Well, I think I'm in my mid-twenties. I honestly don't know, we didn't keep much track on the mountain, but it's about there."

Occupation:
"I was a petite, young noblewoman, ready to be married to prince charming, with a floating castle and a majestic baby rainbow unicorn named whiskers! Oww! Jeez, no need to be rude...! Think of me as a demon hunter slash alchemist slash inventor slash scientist slash badass. A bit ironic considering what I did, I know, but... well, I never said I was an experienced demon hunter. See, Master trained me to kill things, and to make things, and I wasn't really shown about civilization much. Yes, I'm aware I'm guilty, but it honestly was an accident! I'll wring the bastard who fooled me..."

Crime:
Derin is silent for a few moments and sighs. "Yeah... I did it. And yes, I do honestly feel bad, and if my own death could bring them back then I would honestly do so. And I keep tellin' you, man, someone tricked me into killing those people. I mean, bearing witness to something like bringing back the dead, especially if you haven't seen it before, it's... well, it's hard to swallow. I will not deny that I killed several members of The Veiled Mistress. I'd rather not talk about how many there were... I'm still a bit shaken. Sorry."

Starting Equipment:
"Let's see... Aha! A Black N' Silver leaver-action shotgun! And a pair of revolvers as well? I'm gettin' lucky today! Alright, let's see... Smoke grenade, flare, bag o' dust, and a couple knives? I'll refine those for throwing! Hehe! Oooh, and there's even a sword? Wooden, but it'll do... Aaaaaaand... darts? We can make it work."

Personal Items: 
From his neck, Derin removes a damaged, old rune attached to a chain. "This here is my little memory trinket. Helps me think clearly when I get a bit... stressed. Reminds me of the better days, when I wasn't a killer..." Derin shudders somewhat and retracts the trinket, fiddling with it a little before letting it rest around his neck once again. Reaching into his pocket, he reveals a rather rugged-looking compass. "This was the first successful invention I made. It's helped me out quite a bit, you know with directions and all that. Was a pain to work out how to get it to work, but when I did, ohoho I was stoked!"

Personality:

"OK, I know I can be a bit of a smartass sometimes, but people have a tendency to perceive me in the wrong ways because of that! I'm actually pretty intelligent!" He beams a grin before leaning back, head resting against his hands. "Oh, and that's my ego. His name's Fred. He's a cock. Anyways, I have a bit of a hero complex - I wanna be the leader, the planner, the guy who can pull everyone through when times are tough, but... I'm kinda average. I mean if you think about it I'm just some mountain hick who was never really exposed to society. I spend a lot of time tinkering with things and I like to make, and everyone knows I'm horrible with the ladies. Considering I only knew, like, one girl up until now, well... yeah. And in case you haven't noticed yet, I'm a bit talkative."

Character Quest:
"I wanna help people. That probably sounds fucked up from a guy who murdered more than thirty people not too long ago, but I honestly wanna help people. I want to experience what it's like to make friends, go out, get the girl, and to be a hero. I want to invent and refine, but also protect and serve. I dunno, I just wanna... be a hero, I guess."

Bio/RP Example:

"You wanna know 'bout moi? I can't say it's the most interesting story around - I'm sure there are plenty others who've lived way more successful lives, if you'd care to bend the meaning of 'success'. Anyways, may I present to you a brief history of the legendary Derin Polaymy! Chapter one: You ONLY Live Once!

I started out living in this small village by the mountains in the middle of nowhere. Found out only the other day you guys call it 'Jaku', or at least that's what the area is known as. We were right next to some 'Great Void' or something, but we didn't really care. It helped us in a weird way. We were isolated, but it was a nice little village. About three or four human households, and then two more dwarvern. We basically just farmed and lived off the land, and didn't do a whole lot of anything else. Despite the solitude, we were pretty happy. I liked living in that small village..." Derin's gaze goes far off, and he stops talking for a couple seconds before snapping out of his daydream. "Ah, yeah, anyways everyone knows that this is the bad part of the story, so I'll just cut it short and say we were attacked by... things. They weren't Ornoks, but they were kinda like 'em, vaguely. Destroyed the whole village, killed my parents and older sister. Only reason I survived was because of her..."

Derin sighs and looks down at his necklace for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing. "So everyone in the village knew my master, The Man of the Mountains. Ever heard of him? Regardless, I knew him too - I'd actually taken food up to him one time with my father, though I'd never seen him until I climbed up there again. Was a long-ass walk - by the end of it I was pretty much dead. And as you can guess, my master was there to catch me when I fell...
... Before swiftly kneeing me in the gut. First thing I learned from him was that he was a hard-ass. Learned that the hard way. Second thing I learned was I had to make my own food. Learned that the hard way too. But he didn't turn me away. Instead, he took me in, taught me everything he knew; I basically became his apprentice. It was hard to keep up, and if you didn't keep up in the lectures, he'd kick your ass in the physical training. Learned that the hard way as well. But, I began picking up the slack, and he began to teach me more about the harder stuff. At this point though I'd already grown a pretty smart mug on me, so I was like a masochist and he was the sadist. But hey, I think I turned out OK."

Clearing his throat, Derin smiles as he stretches his arms. "His health started deteriorating - I could tell, because he started going easy on me. Despite that, I did my very best to work harder and harder. I wanted to be the best damn apprentice of them all, and so I learned to study and practice on my own. As we both grew older, he began teaching me in other, more complex fields: gunsmithing, shooting, alchemy, advanced sciences, languages, all that juicy stuff. I also started getting hit less and less, though not because he was getting weaker. I was actually getting the hang of pullin' my weight. Pretty soon, Master didn't even need to ask. I was either learning it, or it was already learnt.

Eventually I ran out of things to learn though. Master didn't need a replacement, at least not just yet, so after a few final tests we got to see which of us was better, both physically and mentally. As expected I lost, but he recognized my efforts and I knew it was about time for me to head off. So, I gathered as much food as I could, hauled it up the mountain, and gave it to master as a thank-you gift before heading out on my own. Knowing him he would've hated me for doing that, but I figured if he was only going to get weaker, he'd need some spare food for when he couldn't hunt, hehehe!"
Derin taps at his chin as he thought how best to continue his story. "The remaining stuff was me going around Jaku, doing all sorts of adventures. I'd heard of Algria and I really wanted to see it for myself, so I headed in that direction, after asking for directions several times and using my compass. Unfortunately, I arrived in chains. Some traveler was spewing nonsense about a certain religion being evil, and me being an idiot took his word for it. I would... prefer not talk about the event, but to put it simply, there were... a lot of bodies. And lots of blood..." Derin gulps, visibly shaking, before shaking off the thought and inhaling deep. "And so I ended up in prison. That was chapter one of Derin Polaymy's life. Please buy the second chapter for ninety-nine Algrian gold pieces, and your spleen. I'm a zombie, after all!"

Another, where life develops too late when the Stars have all gone beyond the light boundary and there's nothing to even see. Another with too many dimensions. Another with not enough. Another where time goes in the opposite direction, and species begin as gods, and wind backwards to cells, and never learn to survive. Another that only lasts milliseconds, and collapses in on itself, and heads straight back to oblivion. And that's how it just might be, across all possible universes, across all possible space times. Problems with the laws of nature, not enough resources, missteps in evolution. An atlas of dead-ends. Then again, there is one exception. There's another universe, a big one, where life is rare, where intelligent life is very rare indeed, the stars are very distant from each other, the laws of nature are very complex, it's extremely lonely for any species developing, and most never even develop at all, but somewhere, we believe, is a planet where the oceans are vast, and the climate is varied. Where the smartest species on the planet may have developed just the right mix of ambition and kindness. And if you were to travel there, to this unbelievably rare statistical anomaly, to this impossibly lucky planet, where evolution, biology, chemistry, nae, the laws of physics themselves have come together to create sentient intelligent life, you may be able to catch the native inhabitants singing for joy. Of what an impossibly lucky, and rare position they find themselves in. It is a chant of gratitude, a ritual of showing appreciation for ending up in perhaps the one universe, in the one solar system, on the one planet with all the basic ingredients for intelligent, conscious life. ~Exurb1a[/hider]

Sorry, sorry, I meant my personal profile. Same thing, right? <br><br><font color="purple">I'm a roleplayer,</font> same as any around here. I've been doing it for about five years now, coming up to six in September. Its been quite the time, thinking back. I started out fresh as can be, understanding the basics of writing but never quite knowing how to become better, or become as great as those around me. In the end, I did the only thing I really knew at the time:<br><br>Write as much garbage as possible and hope for the best!<br><br>As you can see, <font color="purple"><span class="bb-i">that particular tactic fucking failed.</span></font><br>Jokes aside, I like to think I've developed a lot over the years, both as a writer and as a person. However, absolutely nothing can dissuade my weeaboo ways and supporting my OTP with all that I can freaking muster! If you haven't already guessed, said OTP is <font color="darkblue">Chrom</font> <font color="pink">x</font> <font color="purple">Robin</font> (Chrobin) from Fire Emblem: <font color="darkblue">Awakening.</font> Highly recommend the game, there's a reason (other than nintendo's cheapskate attitude) that it hasn't dropped in price, it's honestly the best place to start off in the series. And hey, maybe you'll end up addicted like me and want to buy every game on the 3DS like a fucking loony?<br><br>Speaking of loonies, the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeAWfrBMa2pytnTYnxAtiphQGJU3ojDD7">Fire Emblem Chrobin Comic Dub Project</a> has recently finished, so for those of you who also appreciate the best ship in existence, I highly recommend it. Hell, even if you're not interested in that, I do highly recommend watching it for those into fantasy love stories. The quality improves drastically with each episode, so trust me when I say by the end of it you should be thoroughly impressed. It has helped motivate me in ways I can hardly describe with words, and so I thought the least I could do was put this out there. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I know it was the perfect thing for me.<br>	<br><br>	<br>	</sub></div></th></tr></thead></table></div><br><img src="https://alynerd.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/tumblr_nvrmdwbdkf1ruyji8o1_1280.jpg?w=840" /><br><br><div class="bb-right"><font color="darkblue"><sub>"Do you think you can tip any of the scales in here?"</sub></font><br><font color="purple"><sub>"Chrom, for the love of Naga, I'm thinking..."</sub></font></div><hr class="bb-hr"><div class="table-responsive"><table class="bb-table table"><thead class="bb-thead"><tr class="bb-tr"><th class="bb-th"><font color="darkblue"><sub>"So I heard."<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	</sub></font></th><th class="bb-th"><div class="bb-center"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkvxGnlWwAEShes.jpg" /></div></th><th class="bb-th"><div class="bb-right"><sub><font color="purple">"There are better places<br>to take a nap than <br>on the ground, you know."<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	<br>	</font></sub></div></th></tr></thead></table></div><div class="hider-panel"><div class="hider-heading"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-xs hider-button" data-name="A Hymn For Goldilocks">A Hymn For Goldilocks [+]</button></div><div class="hider-body" style="display: none"><div class="bb-center"><img src="https://static.tumblr.com/b572f57912d8b5345269f9dc72e04359/yveunmd/zEwn8f4ke/tumblr_static_4fc6jqggm90kg048ok0kkw0ww_640_v2.jpg" /></div><br><br>There is a universe. No-one knows it's name, where gravity wasn't strong enough to bind matter together and no stars formed. And because no stars formed, no stars exploded. And because no stars exploded, no planets came about. And because no planets came about, there was no life.<br><br>There's another universe, no one knows it's name, where gravity was strong enough and did light the stars and planets came about and boy, they were gorgeous, planets in perpetual winter, planets in perpetual summer, planets that could rival the Garden of Eden and no bloody snakes! And on one of them, eventually, complex life evolved and one of the species developed large brains learned things like manners and dabbing, when they looked up at the stars and wonder what they were doing here. You called them octopuses, I suppose. Gosh, they were clever, for octopuses, and one of them, several million years in, almost wrote something in ink on the seafloor, a message to its friend. And the message almost read: "Hi! How are you?" And a few millennia later, space folder back on itself and, you get the idea. <br>Goodbye Octopi.<br><br>There's another universe, where life formed on every planet, in every solar system, and it was carbon-based, it was silicon based, it was made of crystals and water and plasma, it was made of quantum fields and light, and everything was alive, everything was doing a boogie, and it was everybody's birthday, everyday, relatively, and everyone got presents, and they had over a trillion languages, some written down, some only spoken, some conducted telepathically, and they bought a galactic civilization together, as a perfect unity, sharing stories, sharing technology, speaking a common tongue, understanding everything about how the cosmos been put together. And finally, when everything was sorted, the galaxies were arranged into perfect geometric formations, transmitting pure love, and wisdom, and birthday greetings to all species in the universe, for all time. Papercuts never happened, coke came in glass bottles, no one even remembered the word for war, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. <br><br>And yet, for a quirk in their evolution, because resources weren't scarce enough on the planets these species developed on, not a single creature in the universe was conscious.
