Anyone want help learning to have more descriptive/intense RP battles. ENTER.

Akzel knew he was dreaming, but didn’t know how he knew. He opened his eyes and he was simply standing in the sky. His bare feet padded lightly on a solid surface that he could not see except for when and where he made contact. When contact was made it emitted a soft white glow.

The youth looked around at a sky dark with storm clouds ready to burst. The dark grey, almost black clouds cast a murky pallor over the world. A loud crash of thunder and his vision was blurred. He felt as if he were somersaulting to through the air and when his vision came back into focus, he found this to be true. The murky abyss of the ocean surface sped forward to connect with the boy’s slight frame. It was like slamming into a field of down feathers. He felt embraced and a bright light surrounded him. Humming could be heard just out of his vision and he felt more then heard or saw the rustling of feathers against each other at high speeds.

With a slam he crashed into a platform. On one knee with one fist planted into what he could see was a platform made of glass. He rose slowly and began walking slowly along its furthest edge where an abyss of darkness welcomed him. Akzel felt as if someone were staring at him and when he spun, turning into a fighting stance he saw the silhouette of someone just arriving at the platforms other side.

Your Mission

1. Detail the events leading up to and following your arrival on the platform at least until your first reaction to seeing Akzel there.
2. Be descriptive, think of things like not JUST what does he look like, but what does he look like WHILE he is doing THIS or THAT and describe it to the best of your capability, do NOT use big words unnecessarily, keep it simple and you will have more fun.
3. Tip. The way I have the easiest time responding to another persons post is by reacting to what they are doing. Whether it is direct or indirect. Directly of course by the last portion of your post, probably a paragraph to itself, you should describe how you react to seeing me and what thoughts are going through Bastion’s mind,
4. Remember what your powers are, actually write out your powers completely FIRST. Think like
a. 3 basic abilities (shoot a laser out of hand, super fist? Idk)
b. 2 mid abilities (super charged fist, super dragon uppercut from Ken on SF
c. 1 high ability (Ultimate form)
d. STICK TO THE SCRIPT if those are your abilities, don’t add extra shit after the fact, that is called God Modding and makes RPing lame for EVERYONE involved including you( if you can beat everyone with one punch and dodge everything that ever shoots at you, then why are you fighting anyone?))
5. Have fun, take your time but please try to at least have a 2 or 3 paragraph response by nighttime.
6. Order of Paragraphs
a. Introduction and description of Character in Dream World (( name is Tel’aran’rhiod if your character would know that shrugs))
b. Movement and reason for movement of Character into arena environment
c. Arrival on Mosaic platform and reaction to the boy already standing there. (Does he see him first? Does he recognize him? A lot or just a very faint memory? Do his systems assess him as a threat?)


I know it seems hella complicated, but if you just sit back, follow the instructions and have fun, it should be REALLY easy for you to pick it up and then you will have fun, I hope ^_^

Well, I haven't seen one of these up yet. I know that when I first began RPing the thing that caught my attention immediately was how detailed and amazing the pro's battle-posts were. I remember I was so embarrassed that I wasn't that good that I would not even try and get someone to teach me. I ended up eventually getting a bar-fight with a character that was witnessed by a very prominent T9 and paragraph player who then took me to a school ran by a woman name Moonlight who both taught characters IC and players OOC how to be a better paragraph fighter. If I can pin point anything as the reason why I fell so deeply in love with RPing it is this school. So I am not sure if I will, but I may do something like that in the future.

For now, what I have for you is a quick excerpt. An introduction for my character and my own PERSONAL tips on how to best respond in a variety of manners as well as prerequisites on what I believe are the things that need to be touched upon when writing/responding to a post/action.

1. This is not a real fight, but everything is canon here. It happens in the dream world, Tel'aran'rhiod, in an arena like section where the effects will be felt as if they were real while in dream, but will leave no lasting effects (unless otherwise discussed in PM) on the character except maybe a faint memory or deja vu if the characters did meet IC in an RP.

2. I will be taking on no more the two battles on at a time. If I must change the amount I can take due to an opening or booking in time, I will notify you by PM.

3. I will post the OOC as soon as I get the first two contestants.

4. The OOC will be different for each person's battle so as to keep their comments, questions and all consecutive criticism in one area.

5. NO BASHING PERIOD...it will be hard enough for people to respond to this at all, just knowing that this may be one of their first times, I am trying to do everything I can to encourage people to play and have fun as well as become better writers so that those of us who are at a certain standard of writing will have MORE people to have MORE intense stories with. It can only enrich our enviroment.

6. If you are not comfortable posting here, feel free to PM me.

7. Have FUN!



Ok, the beginning post is in the hider bar at the top of this post and I will repost it to begin each new battle.

New CS

Full Name: Mai Kuro
Alias:
Nickname(s): Kuro or Mai
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Social Rankings/Occupation: Student, Villanous side kick, Loner
Elemental Affinity: Air and Earth
Race: Human
Ethnicity:

Place of Birth: Tainan, Taiwan

History and Personality: As a child, Mai had always been different from most. When first meeting her, one would assume her to be a quiet and shy person, until the complete opposite is learned. A wild, rambunctious, and tomboyish child. She gives off the "innocent one" persona around adults or authority figures, but to anyone else, they get to see her true side.

She was born like any normal child, and raised like one as well. At age 10, her parents became ill- later dying. Mai was forced to move with her aunt, whom she dreaded so much. The day she moved in with whom she calls a foul witch, was the day she learned her abilities. One anger filled day, as the two argued over something as simple as chores, Mai exploded. She was able to spread a miasmic poison that filled the house, killing the woman instantly. She panicked and escaped- away from the murder.

She ran away, only to be found by a villan. He kept her a a sidekick and taught her how to maintain and use her powers. He called it Miasma Emission, she just called it being able to poison people. Currently, she knew two types of poisons. One that caused a decrease in one's senses, slowing down the reflexes, making it seem like she was moving faster than normal. Two being the Miasma. To a regular human, it would kill, if not instantly, then soon, to other creatures it would take longer, but still weaken their powers.

Appearance: A small round and somewhat pale face, to some being 'adorable.' When she smiles, her unnaturally sharp teeth are exposed, a long with a creepy Joker like grin. Mai does it to scare people, but has a normal smile as well.

Build She has a gymnast build. Skinny, but muscular and very flexible.

Hair: Long black hair with green highlights.
Hair Color: ....
Eye Color: A greenish blue color
Skin Color: She's paler than most, but in an odd way it suits her.

Picture:
(OPTIONAL)


Distinguishing Features: A scar on her wrist that resembles a bracelet. A burn scar across her side.

Weapons Usedaggers and knives are used, along with her fighting skills taught other by her mentor

Other Important Information: She's wanted in Austraila and banned from Ireland. Though every time some one asks why she changes up the story.

Good, but inconsistent. Lol says your affinity is fire and lighhtening then you say her powers are miasma?

I'll join, been thinking about that char I made for akiblue's thing quite a bit, and you showed interest with it. I just want to know more about tiers and how they work. :P I'm also a little busy so it might take some time to finish it completely.
