Hello

Hey Die Shize I saw you in the thing.

Welcome.

I am a returning Member

Replied to you in the Discord, but both links are in my profile here too.

You should be fine. Fantasy and SciFi are both very popular here.

There are often several RPs going in the worlds of...

Elder Scrolls
Harry Potter
The Witcher
Lord of the Rings
Warhammer Fantasy
Warhammer 40K
Fallout
Marvel or DC Comics

There are also often some original settings in the SciFi or Fantasy genre.
Particularly in the Pen and Paper section but also in Advanced/Casual there are sometimes Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder based RPs.

I have not personally seen one yet but likely before too long there will be a Starfield RP if you are interested in that.

And as always if you don't see an RP set in the setting you would like it can't hurt to write up an Interest Check and start up your own.

Probably either the Punisher or Daredevil Netflix series.

Damn shame Marvel didn't hire those guys to do an actual Capt A & Bucky show or really any of the Marvel shows other than Loki, which I thought was ok.

Let's Gush!

No

Are People Actually RPing on Discord Now?

That's likely correct yeah.

I did an Arena Tournament RP and had good fun with it but it still meant I had to break a lot of my posts up into like 4-6 posts

Are People Actually RPing on Discord Now?

I've done a few via Discord. It's imperfect but it allows for quick posting back and forth, gathering a lot of like minded folks fairly quickly, and doesn't have any of the "must be halfway advertiser friendly" restrictions or forums.

I've done Discord RPs for Tournament fighting and for Pen and Paper Roleplaying, like Dungeons and Dragons.

Returning to rp-ing after 10 years!

Check some of the links down below this post. The first one is just self promotion but the others are helpful.

Written by several different folks here they should help get back into the flow and explain a bit of the sort of culture here. Maybe help you figure out where you want to write as far as Advanced/Casual/Free.

Cheers bro. There's plenty of RPs here, you'll find your niche.

D-Lister Doomsday

Hobo Cop

Name:
Bruce Steel - likely an aka, and a bad one at that

Alias:
Hobo Cop

Age:
45

Gender:
Male

Bio:
Who knows what darkness lurks in the heart of man? Hobo Man does. Prolly. Maybe. He'll tell you for a dollar. Or a sandwich.

Background:
Forced into early retirement because the brass didn't appreciate his particular approach to law enforcement and peace keeping and all that type sort of stuff. Particularly they didn't like his low-level corruption, general incompetence, intermittent excessive force, and chronic alcoholism. That's Bureaucrats for ya. They don't get it.

A self-described vigilante and anti-hero he's actually somewhere between a D-List Villain and a general nuisance.

Personality:
A brooding mastermind, in his own mind. To most he's a pompous ass with delusions of grandeur.

Appearance:
Slightly grungy. Very TactiCool. Looks like a LARPer who should probably account for where he was on January Sixth.
Beard. Belly. Molle Webbing. Patches. Shades. Earpiece not connected to anything. Kevlar Gloves.

Weight: Slightly Over
Height: Modestly Tall

Powers:
A Great Pension: Due to the benefits of a strong union Hobo Cop can purchase gear slightly better than the best gear available to your average citizens. And he doesn't even have to wait 10 days! Oh he can also eat free at Chic-Fila-A and In N Out. Chipotle only gives a 50% discount. Stingy bastards.

Health Plan of the Gods: Hobo Cop can heal from near any wound. Given enough time. And something to watch on the hospital's television. And given that they cut him off the painkillers before he gets too lost in the sauce.

The Ultimate Detective: Hobo Cop has the detectivery skills of a man who never quite made Detective but is super good at Googling and also he has Torr so he's well aware of all the super secrety stuff going on and stuff. None of your secrets are safe from him, although many of the secrets that you've been trying to hide that he's uncovered aren't actually things. But he'll still Tweet about them.

Weaknesses:
Complete Lack of Actual Authority: As a retiree most of his authority exists in his mind.

Fast Food: Late hours spent prowling the city streets looking to bring justice to the populace of a city desperately in need of protection from the devious and deviant threats that prowl behind every corner...means he has to like get a meal where he can. Often that means pulling the Hobo Cave (his small van) up to a drive thru.

Cardio: It's not there bro. It's just not there.

Canon:
Hobo Cop has a long list of allies and nemeses. Nemesises. Nemesi. Enemies.

Most of them are unaware that they have such long lasting and storied relationships with him.

There's Surprisingly Speedy Graffiti Man, who has long been able to evade the long arm of the law.

There's Big Mouth PR for the Department I Used To Work For Lady, who just doesn't get it.

There's Mr. Never Honors My Retiree ID for a Free Burger at In N Out Man. Fuck him in particular.

In the Arena he is undefeated. Largely because his vast detectivery network only just discovered the Arena.

Gear:
Just dig through the website of any Uniform store that sells Law Enforcement stuff. Go through the Firefighter stuff too. Actually just Google Tactical Wear, Punisher shirt, military surplus, and maybe UFC Gear. He's got a lot of that stuff. Boots. Kneepads. Shin Guards. Suspenders (tactical ones). Gloves. Elbowpads. Night Vision goggles. A bullet necklace. Probably a tribal tattoo.

Also a lifted van usually parked behind his buddies Car Repair business and for some reason usually covered in a camouflage tarp

Maybe also Danger, Danger Fontaine. Rapping Professional Wrestler with more Muscles than sense.

Captain America
Interesting opportunity to reflect on what's going on in the world, either in real life or in current storylines. His general conservative (in the definition sense not the political one) nature combined with his general good guy tendencies. Usually a friend to mutants. Not the sort to go along with things like the Mutant Registration Act. All that combined with the many many characters he has come to interact with over the years. Some of whom are pretty shady and set up a good opportunity for confrontations. Punisher, Logan, Bushwacker, Nuke, Nick Fury, the Military and really almost any big organization. In more modern stuff he's sort of become a folk hero for younger characters. I also just had a blast writing stuff for him in the old 1968 thread. Probably some of my best writing, if I do say so myself, and just good fun.

Wolverine
Effective immortality. A lot of street level stuff but also a lot of upper level stuff. One of the few characters who can stand up to, and will, damn near anyone even if it means he is "dead" for a little while. Similar to Captain America he's crossed paths with damn near everyone at one time or another, similar to him he too has a damn good reason to be distrusting of government agencies. I like him better in street level stories personally. Has many of the same enemies as Captain America along with plenty of his own. Also always good stories to tell between him and Spiderman.

Punisher
Has a ton of potential. Can make for great stories or shit stories. Easy to veer into TactiCool stuff. Best for street level stories or as sort of a Batman character, albeit he's only Batman-ish with support.

One More

I've never written as Nightcrawler, but I think it could have a ton of potential. Religious. Demon. Sneaky. Team Oriented. Just good fun. Plus IIRC he was a pirate with Shadowcat for a little while and I too am a big fan of Shadowcat.

In DC I tried to write as Jonah Hex for a bit. I'm a dork for Weird West storylines. Gunslingers and Spells. Repeaters and Zombies. 49ers and Vampires. I'm a fucking dork for it. More so than usual.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

I've been going Half Orc Barbarian. I want to go Evil Warlock next time but I don't know if I can hack it.

At least greedy manipulative Witcher type...but I don't know if I can bring myself to attack the goodie types in BG3
