I write characters I can relate to and it usually works out that way. I'll post my first post sometime soon.
Why would you use a tablet and make yourself suffer through all that? I pity you.
Also, do you know how calming your signature is? I just spent a minute staring at it.

Bio
All I want is people willing to roleplay with me D: haha, kidding of course. I need roleplays with flexible posting schedules and long running ones with no, or very little, focus on romance. I don't do fandom RPs and I like both 1x1s and groups.
I'm tired, I'll edit this all out later.

Oops. My hand seems to have slipped. Here's the CS.
Username: Aspidochelone
Timezone: Eastern
Posting Habits: When/how often can you usually post? How much can we expect to see from you? I'm usually on in the afternoons and early evenings and you can expect, bare minimum, one post a week. It'll most likely be a post every other day though.
RP Peeves: A focus on action and fighting over advancing the plot, character development, and interaction. I just really like exploring the relationships between characters over fighting that and my inexperience with writing believable high-level action.
Anything Else: I'm taking online courses on top of my high school classes, but I'm surprisingly not as swamped with class work as most assume. I also procrastinate reading books/watching movies and shows/general entertainment until I finally get around to it that I then start marathoning it.
Character's Name: Wen Asra Bonheur
Age: 25
Appearance:
Occupation: Computer Programmer
Beliefs/Religion: She informally grew up as a Buddhist and still labels herself as such even though she has mostly taken to Atheist beliefs. The only thing she kept from Buddhism was the belief in the cycle of reincarnation until eventual entrance to Heaven.
Personality:
+ Her curiosity means she self-educates until she believes she is well-informed.
+ Patient to unnatural lengths.
+ Will be there for someone even at the oddest times.
+ Confident, is not ashamed to do what she wants.
+ Calm and unlikely to react badly to chaos.
- Lack of empathy in that she can't reciprocate feelings and emotions from the people around her.
- Has to plan things beforehand, but...
- She will procrastinate actually doing things and it is not pretty when she has to meet deadlines.
Cause of Death: Burnt to death in an apartment fire.
Hobbies: Freelance computer coding, making websites, reading.
Fears: Not accomplishing anything meaningful and impacting with her life. Also, not meeting up to expectations.

Woah, can I join this? I mean if, judging from your absent rp-er, I still have until tomorrow night to get in a CS and first post, I could join? Sorry, but this looks really promising.
All of this will obviously be expanded upon if this RP ever gets rolling.
The Kishuan Dynasty – Pronounced /Kishwen/, the dynasty is a small and resilient group made up mostly of humans and wanderers who decided to integrate with the relaxed society. Originally a nomadic group of like-minded people who weren't too fond of rigid class structures and society-imposed rules, the Kishuan settled down in a small region away from others. The region they settled in is at the mouth of a river leading from the sea into the land because of this, they have an abundant amount of resources and have no problem of scarcity many of them experienced back in their former factions. The Kishuan Dynasty's main source of income is their exports as their item of specialty is a variety of seafood, wine, and (more importantly) minerals and gemstones. The Kishuans are open and welcoming to all who venture into their land as long as they are not associated closely with a government. Resulting from this exclusion, the traders coming to the dynasty are never official merchants with close faction affiliation. The traders are welcomed into the walls with mandatory celebration and drunken feasting. The Kishuan were never fond of formalities back when they were only a beginning faction and even now when they are a dynasty. The Kishuans are ruled very loosely by a council made up of elected Kishuans advising the emperor and empress in fixing problems and bringing in new ideas. The emperor focuses primarily on trade of either raw or processed resources and the internal affairs of the dynasty while the empress focuses on external affairs and the manufacturing of resources. The emperor, empress, and council do not have all authority as they cannot maintain all of their land closely. Thus, making a group of "knights" called the People's Paladins to help with the lives of the people. The Kishuan Dynasty were originally not involved in the war as they mostly kept to themselves in drunken revelry and improved their society until a faction of dwarves attempted an invasion of the dynasty's mining regions. This unsettled the Kishuans and they began patrolling their borders as well as fortifying the walls. It was when a human faction attacked later that all the Kishuans called for involvement. The paladins recruited all of age to their ranks in a surprisingly ordered fashion and began formulating plans to attack any and all known factions. The Kishuan Dynasty is mostly focused on defending their territory and protecting the people, though a small, vocal number of Kishuans are arguing for expanding their land. Half of the paladins with the support of both the empress and a quarter of the council have begun conquering the nearby land in fact. The Kishuan Dynasty is at the peace conference to either gain more or lose nothing and possibly gain alliances even though they don't like most of the governments, nobles, officials that will be attending.
Kalia Emorally - Empress of the Kishuan Dynasty. She is intent on not giving an inch at the peace conference. Kalia is also not as interested in forming amiable relations with the other factions. Accompanied by only her chief adviser and commander, her goal is to show the other factions that the Kishuan Dynasty are not merely drunken revelers and socially-inept criminals. She is twenty-eight years old, ambitious, malicious at times, sarcastic, cynical, and not much of a fan of celebrations to the surprise of her people. Kalia, armed with more than two decades of learning in politics and at least five daggers on her person, is ready to show everybody who the drunk criminals are.
Lochlyn Darose - Chief Adviser of Kishuan Dynasty. He was not one of the council members who wanted to expand and conquer; Lochlyn would rather enjoy being left alone thankyouverymuch. He is held in high esteem even though he is not the oldest council member because of the advances he has made in trading and manufacturing goods with the merchants. Going to the peace conference, Lochlyn would like to establish at least one alliance and general peace between the Kishuan Dynasty and the other factions. At thirty-four years old, he's known to host the best feasts and parties, loves to help the people, sociable, but he is rather inclusive by nature. Lochlyn is hopeful the peace conference will get the dynasty allies even if none of them will ever be admitted into their borders.
Terrin Baridian - Commander of the People's Paladins. She was a neutral party in the decision of expanding the dynasty and does not care much except to get everyone to calm down. Terrin would prefer things to stay the way they were before where the faction officials didn't bother the Kishuan Dynasty and the Kishuan Dynasty didn't bother them. Rising through the ranks as the most innovative paladin, she has much say in the going ons inside the dynasty. To her, the peace conference is a way to calm everybody down and get things the way they were before everything got hectic. Twenty-five years old, Terrin is calm, relaxed and informal, almost stoic, prefers the quiet of the library over the feasts, and is somehow seen by the people as a therapist or grief counselor. Taking no chances, she is going to go to the peace conference in full armor and battle regalia; it will be the one time she looks like she's going to a high-level function which she never bothered to go to before.

I'll upload my CS a little later then. I've got an idea going for a group of elves or humans at the moment and I can't decide which one I like more yet.
Lucky you chose WWII. If you chose to use WWI as the analogy, I would have came up with a convoluted (but very interesting) alliance system because I love the domino effect. Oh well.
In regards to the answer you gave me in the interest check, which I will post here for organizational purposes, our characters are going to be either humans, elves, or dwarves within different subgroups, correct?
I'm just asking all of this to make sure, sorry if it's irritating.

TJByrum said 1. Ilaria is divided between Men, Elves, and Dwarves. Dwarves would probably fight for glory, greed, or to keep their territory, or maybe in retaliation (they could be in a civil war beneath Dragon-Pike Mountains); they're not actively trying to expand their kingdom into the human lands. Elves are probably fighting to keep humans out of their southern forests, some more radical groups may be fighting to take back their land from long ago, while others may be in it for retaliation. The Humans are fighting over land, glory, retaliation, ideals, etc - all sorts of things. But it's not just them; a Religious group may be fighting another religious group, some Knights may be fighting some Mages, some mercenaries may be exploiting the war and taking land, an adventurers guild may be trying to help the commonfolk, a thieves guild may be trying to mend some things, etc. Ben Kalzar is trying to stop this war... but why now? That's a question you should ask; what exactly caused Ben to call a truce?
Yes, you're involved with one of the factions. Not necessarily a leader or a high-ranking member, but you're involved. And yes, feel free to completely detail your group (whether a kingdom, tribe, guild, or group).
The Peace conference is indeed the prologue where you discuss the treaty, or are suppose to.
The factions will have 'peace' but it leads to another war. Your character will not die in the prologue, they will play a major role in the coming conflict.
I intend for a lot of character interaction, yes. You guys have been at war with one another for a few years and now you're about to work together - but you gotta work together or you will fall.
I'm just asking all of this to make sure, sorry if it's irritating.
(Just reposting it here.)
So, to review, it's:
Three Many groups of people, most who hate each other and one playing as mediator
Okay, so it's more like lots of small kingdoms warring with one another which has brought in the elves and dwarves who are the ones devastating the land while there's a neutral kingdom who's like, "Wait, no. Guys, peace! Come, let us have peace or whatever. It's totes gonna be rad bro. No more blood and death. Not cool, you're ruining the land with all this murder."
Our characters are going to be involved with one of the factions (which we will create I'm assuming)
The peace conference that introduces all of our characters is simply the prologue where the factions hash out the peace treatise
The actual RP is set in a fictional land and we don't know the time period/technological advances/supernatural presences/other questions yet to be asked yet
After the peace conference (that will most likely not result in death and will probably steer this RP in the direction it will take) ends, the real RP begins where all three factions have a (tenuous) peace and there is a mutual enemy they all must face
That probably results in teamwork and friendship and hopefully fun character interactions and development
Have I covered most of it?

I'm interested in this. Sign me up.
Also, John Egbert is awesome.

Yes, I tend to have that effect on others. What about me seems to exude this air of companionship and this human emotion we call friendship on both the internet and reality? That question is obviously rhetorical because I am magnificent and should be deemed as such.
I love everyone's sigs here. Spread the anime people. Also Teen Titans was fantastic while it lasted.
