Well now time to decode the appsheet.

Fun fun fun until you realize there's no actual sun.

This Man's Backyard 2: Please play

The kindly old man, with help of his trusty cane steps down the stairs and says "Don't be silly my boy, there's been no british soldiers on this land since 1812. Please get off my property."

This Man's Backyard 2: Please play

"Hello. Please get out of my back yard." The kindly old man says from the porch.

This Man's Backyard 2: Please play

Welcome to this man's backyard. This is a do whatever you want free RP.

Everyone is in this man's backyard:



As whatever you want except the things I don't like. You will know what I don't like when you post because I will find a halarious and humilating way to kill your character. It will be great I assure you.

In the back yard you will be told to get out. But you shouldn't.

And So Daedalus Laughed (Spam Inspired Psychological Survival Horror-ish RP)

His mother told him to save his cash when he was young.

(so when he had a job for a several years, he actually accumulated savings because he lived at a very cheap place, ate fast food and shopped at the 99 cents store. I suppose that's one redeeming trait of him- he knows how to not blow his money on video games. Just play the free ones on the internet)

Despite that I suspect by 2016 he's probably in lots of loan debt and in threat of being evicted from a very cheap apartment. So ending up in the playplace is a godsend to him since it means he won't be on the streets.

OOC when?

I got a solid idea of my character.

Some guy, he's like 30, has been out of a job for five years and has gotten a horrible sense of style in the mean time. Once he was a very good baseball player (back in highschool), it was like the height of his life since he spent much of his early 20's working at a department store managing inventory and not really working to any higher purpose. He got lazier in life due to not even being sure why he does what he does, just zombie walking through each day without much to really hold up himself. He has pretty much been living off money he made when he had a job for the past five years after being laid off and has been unable to find any calling in life. His egotism from high school has unfortunately carried over and instead of trying to find something new to do, believing that he is a victum of life and blames everything but himself for all his problems. He hated this day to day existence and had little support from friends (barely had any) or family (they live far away) to help him through his problems. In the 2010's he just played video games and got into online arguments on youtube until one day...

He woke up here. And he believes that he woke up from the nightmare that was his life on Earth. He always loved the play places at McDonalds, and for two decades that was taken from him. Now here he is, in a realm of endless time where he can play all day and night. Of course, he better shape up fast. Hopefully his teenage years as a good baseball player helps him in this place. Probably not. But hey, he has luck (plot armoring- he only dies if the GM allows it... Please don't, keeping him alive is better than having him dead) on his side and some of the most enlightened beliefs Earth has to offer.

I'm not sure what the other characters will be like so I may have made someone who is way out of his element here since I am not sure what sort of characters are appropriate here. Oh well. Just no elf OCs okay?

Very Relatable

No.

I think the problem is that you get people who make characters based around powers instead of characters based around well, character. Instead of taking the role of a character, they take the role of themselves with super powers. This is why you get those OCs the OP mentions. You get a kid who gets a hard on for some kind of power (like magic or the biggest gun/sword ever that does 999999999 damage, or in some cases you get the person who decides he wants to be a dragon that eats people... Don't be that person), wants the powers and makes up a character that has lots of powers without regard for context or setting. And from there you get a total mess. I've been in RPs where that pretty much describes literally every character within and it's actually really boring since all the conflicts get resolved by everyone spamming super abilities at anything remotely threatening.

Ideally most people who decide to get better at fiction writing grow out of the mentality, but you also get quite a few people who don't.

what would you do if

Well it's a very tight tube. Accidents are sure to happen.

Which one of these is the toad?

This



Or this?

what would you do if

I think the RP defeats the idea since it's suppossed to be a normal endless play realm without monsters in it that you wander around alone forever and ever. Whatever, it's something different at least.

i'd probably poop in the playpen

@Vilageidiotx

Oh good.

I was worried it'd be the ballpit.
