why the fuck is every single person in the goddamn thread introducing their character by beating some faceless npc
This isn't good writing, it doesn't make your character look good, all it does is be some half-assed attempt at showing your character being a badass without any goddamn stakes in the situation since you had complete control to begin with. And like, I could get it if it was just one guy doing it, because one guy being a bad writer isn't so bad... but why the fuck did 4 people all think it was a good idea?
Granted, I also introduced my character by winning fairly quickly in that particular RP... by beating one of the player characters who introduced themselves on a win, stole something from the NPC they won against, giving some actual substance to the NPC by making them a classmate of my PC and actually having my character get their ass kicked for the most part. Not only that, but the thing she put up in return was proportionally not at all worth it to getting back what her classmate had stolen from him.
now, I ain't exactly the pinnacle of writing prowess, but at least I don't make my character out to be some kind of ultra badass with nothing to show for it. The situation described above was arguably the weakest 'win' in the entire thread so far.
(also this is a trashy ygo rp on another site so i'm kind of asking to be pissed off at that point)
EDIT: Oh it got better.
Nevermind the fact my character moved somewhere else after that encounter and started talking someone a good distance away, oh no. Your character recovers from a blackout instantly, can scale a roof, find the fucking duo due to some superhuman hearing ability or some shit and call out to them.
luckily someone saved the encounter by bumping into them and falling off the roof
except that guy now blatantly moved my character and the one they're interacting with through space and time to move them back to the place where the duel happened, bumping into her conversation partner AND giving the first guy a chance to cling to her leg.
What the fuck is wrong with these people.
