Hello, hi, and hey. My name's Truth, and I'm here with the hippingest, hoppingest new roleplay to grace these forums!*

Based in the world of Epithet Erased (or Anime Campaign if that name rings more bells), this RP will be as ridiculous as it is bizarre. For those unaware, Epithet Erased is a cartoon web-series involving a worldwide phenomenon known as Epithets; words written on people's very souls that let them do damn near anything. Words such as "Punch", "Blockade", "Jousting", or "Soup"... the Inscribed can have anything as their Epithet. Then there are the Mundies, the regular folk who have to go above and beyond to get an edge in against those with Epithets.

Crazy powers, crazier people, and the craziest happenstances await, in Awful Midnight Poetry!

This is definitely more of a gathering of interest than most, as I'm still working on the details, both mechanically and thematically, and hope to work out at least some of it with anyone who decides they want a piece. Here's what you CAN expect... or at least what I'm currently thinking of having you expect:

- A story involving cryptic and poorly-written poems, a fanatic cult devoted to those very scribblings, and a lot of people very interested in why.
- A tone that's three parts goofy, one parts serious, and two halves of a whole.
- Gamey mechanics inspired by the RPG that inspired the show. Level up, get better, and don't die, all with numbers attached!
- At least one talking animal, guaranteed.
- Freedom of character - be as faithful to your Epithet or don't, or be a Mundie entirely! Don't like your character or itching for a new face? Feel free to make a newbie between chapters!

Hope this is enough of a hook to nab a fair few folks, even with the holiday season upon us. Any questions can obviously be asked and probably be answered, so if you want to know more about either this thread specifically or what it's based off of, feel free!

Regardless, take care and thanks for reading!

Heeey, thanks for the interest! Might not be enough to get a good discussion on it, but I wanted to ask y'all's opinion; one thing I really like about Anime Campaign's rules is how characters are made, a one-on-one with the GM where they make lists of possible powers for the player to pick from, felt it really helped to make characters unique.

But I'm not sure if that'd really translate well to a roleplay? Like, it could definitely work, but that feels like I'm basically shuffling players along to play their character a certain way. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the interest everyone!

My plan going forward is to have the OOC thread up and ready before the end of the year (maybe within the next couple of days) and to start the RP proper come the new year. Gives time for everyone to enjoy the holidays and maybe even get some more attention.

Course I say this during the week of Christmas so I might be bold-faced lying and won't be able to get it done before New Years. But, uh, y'know. Always good to have a deadline!

Figured I should say in here (for lurkers and the like) that the thread is now up!

Hope everyone's having a happy holiday season, too :)
