Bio

Age: 30
Occupation: Adventurer

RolePlays: My strongest is the dark and depraved. Fantasy comes in at a close second.

I've been RolePlaying since I was about 11 years old, starting off with Yahoo! Chatrooms before moving onto Persistent Worlds in NeverWinter Nights. I am a huge fan of RPGs in general (Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Earthbound, Secrets of Mana, etc.) and have recently rekindled my passion for RPing.

If we go by D&D alignment, I tend to play Neutral Evil or Chaotic Neutral characters. I have a proclivity for the weird and macabre (I'm a Lovecraftian) and love to explore character concepts and meanings. I prefer having deep lore and character development over mindless hack and slash.

I'll give you an example of an Advanced RP.

Edit: For quick comparison, below is a Free RP

@Cuccoruler

Casual RP is 3-5 paragraphs of semi-detailed responses that focus more on character development and interaction.

Advanced RP is 5+ paragraphs that give great detail about the environment, characters, situations, or actions. It is also known to have a far more sophisticated history behind the RP. A lot has been thought out beforehand to provide a foundation for the RP.

Free RP is any and all. I could respond with He just stood there, twiddling his thumbs. and it would be accepted as valid.
@Thinslayer

Completely rendering players useless in one post without allowing them to counter is, in my opinion, god modding. The point is moot, however, since you're the GM and you allowed it.

I also think that this mentality right here -> I would rather have an RP full of shitty posts than a dead one. <- belongs in Free Roleplay.

People who RP in Casual or Advanced have a certain inherent expectation. Do not take this as me saying your RP sucks. That is not what I am saying. What I am leaning towards is that you are attempting to sell a product to people who care very little for it.
@Thinslayer

This is what I mean. The entire RP is thrown out of whack because there is this "I must post as much as possible" mentality. I've already made it a point earlier to say that many people are posting half-assed. People are being left behind, the quality of posts is waning, which in turn is making people lose interest, and now with the introduction of your friend, character relationships feel forced.

Why would Xen give a shit about Vert? I don't mean that in a 'screw Vert' way, but there wasn't enough explored between all characters. Everyone was very impatient on starting the journey and all of a sudden there was a warg attack. That's fine. It's the wilderness, shit happens, but what wasn't expected was the sudden appearance of a "wtfpwnurface" character. The godmodding in Dark's post was just shocking to read and as I was contemplating how best to have Xen react to the situation, I'm now left wondering if I shouldn't just go take a seat on a log and rest my head on my hands.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it properly, but it seems like you're attempting to shove so much into the RP so quickly that everything else is being neglected, including players.
Do not base your vote on whether I stay or go.

Given the amount of players, I vote for posting order.
@Mesonyx

Haha, You so CrayCray!

@Mesonyx

I got Puffin to say to you!

Squid?

@Mesonyx

I love you, man, but I'm exercising my executive veto power on that one.

@Darkwatck01

I see. What confused me is that Cucc had already committed to the attack and I suppose your post was vague enough for me to miss your acknowledgment of it. That's between your characters, as I'm not privy to the dynamic you two would share.

And you're trying to avoid trigger words? You lost me on that as well, lol.

Thanks for getting me up to speed.
