I think to sell someone on an interest check, it's really important to seem enthusiastic about your own idea. That means writing more than a single sentence to attract potential players.

Bio
W I T H R I G H T E O U S H A N D S
Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.
Name:
Broken Promise, BP, Boss
Age:
Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)
Preferred RPs:
I Prefer to make my own, but will occasionally join something if it looks interesting. I'll join just about anything so long as it isn’t overly edgy/sweet, though it's rare for me to do. I don't do 1x1s too often either.
Preferred Roles:
I tend to play adorable characters everyone wants to befriend or proper assholes everyone wants to stay away from. I try not to play moral paragons or prime evils.
RP Conquests:
I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. Re: Zero: The High Council Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...
Last RP I finished was Symphony of Espers which turned out pretty good.

RP's in progress:
For some reason I can't seem to stay away from Ari's magical girl RP, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.
As for my own projects, I'm doing Symphony on High to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.

RP Graveyard:
I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.
And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.

Music
I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like Tier Zoo and Daryl Talks Games, and I’ll also watch things like Critical Drinker or Literature Devil to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like Sseth, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.
Games
I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.
Painting Minis
I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...
Music
I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.
Personality:
Not one to take life or the internet too seriously. Is only serious about writing well and having a good time.
People to Insult:
Dalton is a Dingus.

There wasn’t a human on earth who hadn’t accidentally learned something they weren’t suppose to. For Kefira, this was discovering that her brother had a camera. More specifically, in cycling through the pictures, she could see that her brother fancied the girl next door. It seemed like every time she came out of her home he had to snap one picture of her. When she confronted her brother about the pictures, he just snatched the camera away from her and insisted she should just forget about it. She never did, and Kefira didn’t think Adam was going to forget what he saw either.
”That’s fine, Peter. Pull me out when you’re ready.”
It was quite the conundrum. Kefira didn’t really feel like telling Adam anything. He had been exposed to something that she had never meant to show, and they weren’t exactly alone in the current environment. Not only that, but they had only been here a few minutes, if even that long. What would happen if something truly private were to resurface? Or maybe something classified, like her talk with Chief Lorelei?
But you’re not suppose to hide things from your partner. It wasn’t like it was that private a detail anyway, even if it was personal.
”Clearly, it was that time an AIDA burned down the local laundry. Which happened to be my family’s sole source of income.” Kefira looked where the building had been. ”It was never officially investigated. I guess you could say it was my first case. Since all the old employees were stealing from us, my father fired them and replaced them with early model AIDA units. It wasn’t a popular choice, with unemployment being on the rise. But my father would only work with people he trusted, which was his family and those AIDA units.” she shrugged her shoulders. ”I found one of them with an empty gas can and a torch. The fire alarm never went off, so I can only imagine the AIDA unit must have switched it off. Hard to remember many specifics, I wasn’t even eighteen yet.”
Peter had better be working on getting her out of there.

@NeverEnding oof, that does suck.
I did something very similar in one of my RPs, only it had to do with everyone voting for a character to kill off. Though it went a lot better for two reasons:
#1: As you said, it was handled mostly ICly, with some details being spread OOCly so that the players would know I was serious.
#2: The players were all notified up front that player character death was part of the deal.
Though in truth, the vote was going to get interrupted when my "PC" flew off the handle, and ended up being the one executed, rendering the votes pointless. But I decided not to do that in the future because one of the players PMed me and was upset because they had a falling out with one of the players in the group and suspected they had voted for them. I decided to ease on the OOC drama moving forward.

Oh and by "talk to your partner" I meant your romantic partner, not writing partner.
@reaping Adder when you make a thread, you can select if you want it to be ranked or not. If it's ranked, you can call a moderator in once the fight is over and points get distributed. At least that was how it worked in the past.
My RP characters have killed lots and lots of people, and I don't feel like a murder yet. so I don't think characters having sex is the same as, say, the players having sex.
Though I keep plenty of distance between myself and my characters. I'm usually not living vicariously through them, doing things that I'd like to do. If you look at the other person's character as their player, then your feelings of guilt will likely only get stronger after your character bumps uglies with them. Worst come to worst, you can talk to your partner about it.
Who knows, they might really be into it.

Mmmm, hook me up fam.
Everyone's talking about new releases.
Me I'm just playing decade old Visual novels and hoping "Granblue Fantasy: Versus" or "God Eater 3" go on a steam sale at some point.
Also Haven was released a few days ago.
EDIT: Oh yea, the Momodora series is pretty charming.
EDIT2: Wait the haven news was a new release, I feel relevant and validated now.

Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Forum: Casual Roleplay
”Are ya winnin’ son?”
— Viridian
”Excuse me?” Viridian had not been addressed, but you can bet she had an opinion of it. ”When I said you could do whatever, I didn’t mean pitch your strongest girl against Justine to buy time! Look honey, ya gotta get Justine and Sonya apart before they over take you. Right now there ain’t nothin’ preventing them for calling for beacon reinforcements!”
@PlatinumSkink
That was when a stray shot actually damaged the STRING, causing part of it to break apart. It immediately returned to string form and fell into Viridian’s waiting hands. A minor inconvenience. Aside from being able to freely communicate with everyone, the downing of the tower would do little to hamper Viridian’s ability to communicate with her agents, who were still aware of the enemy’s exact position.
”Seems like Mariette doesn’t have the salt Veronica thought she did. We might just have to stage a coup, agents.” Viridian sunk into one of her shadow portals and appeared…elsewhere. ”Silhouette, Ronin is likely going to try and save Mariette. You have my permission to help her when that happens. It’s true that Veronica gave her word that she would do nothing to go against Mariette’s plans, but that’s why I’m in charge now, haha! Oh, but do make sure Mariette survives all this. We need her to ensure Justine doesn’t get away.” The cradle agents could practically feel Viridian smile. ”I ain’t leaving without that bitch’s head.”
@FamishedPants@Majoras End
“WTF Mariette? 10 IQ play much?”
”More like 1000 IQ play!”
— Su Fang N’ Trixy
Dusty was struck and killed, adding another tragic death to the doppleganger’s string of misfortunes. Both her body and gun blew into dust. None of Trixy’s clones remained.
Helga and Su came through the portal before the former familiar responded. “I agree Helga, but there wasn’t much we could do on our own. I hadn’t even anticipated I’d get to Justine.”
Then they listened to Mariette.
”Heh! Guess those weretigers are stronger than they look.” Trixy rubbed her nose. ”I still wanna get back out there, but you can drop me wherever. I can support from afar, and I can bite.” She used the brief respite to load up her gun.
“Mariette, this is unwise.” Su folded her arms before leaning against the wall. “If you’re not safe here, your best option is to move to a new location. Their forces are divided, meanwhile you can be wherever you’d like. While we fight defensively, Justine is going to keep attacking the mansion until you’re forced to reveal yourself. Dan isn’t preventing Sonia from teleporting, and as a result, Justine is unstoppable. Wiping out Beacon is not the goal, stopping Justine is!” She fret her brow and lowered her eyes to the ground. “ I’m not sure Justine needs to die. She honestly believes that you are responsible for what’s happened to Penrose. I’m not sure how to break through to her though...” Her eyes rose back up to meet Mariette’s. “Regardless, if everyone’s in the mansion, it seems like the perfect time to attack Sonia. If we can get rid of her, Justine will be vulnerable. Leave a crew here to distract Beacon if you must, but the real threat is outside, hurling bloody spear after spear at your home. Us fighting Beacon is exactly what she wants.”

Gunna tell ya about that time everything was going wrong in my life. Without getting into details, work and home life were kind of crappy, and roleplaying was the only thing I could take solace in. I wasn't old enough to drink, give me a break.
Oh and this happened about a decade or so ago on another forum.
Now I'm not going to say I was exactly fun to play with in that mental state, but it wasn't made any better by the fact that our GM was, for lack of a better word, a cunt. He liked to press buttons and get people riled up. He was unable to sense the mood and didn't really have the ability to tell when he had gone too far. Much to his surprise, this type of behavior made me angrier and less likely to post. I was also becoming extremely vocal about the shortcomings of both him and the other players. It could no longer be contained in our messenger and spilled out onto the forum. No player was safe from my wrath. Naturally, others tried to tell me that I was being too negative and I should lay off, even pointing out my own shortcomings as an attempt to fire back. It got so bad that one player eventually wrote a meme IC post that addressed me and how "bad" I was for point out his shitty grammar. At that point the GM closed the RP.
Internet Drama: Not even once.
Looking back on it, I think the situation was handled poorly by everyone involved. I was probably the one most responsible for bringing the RP to its knees, but looking at it from the outside, there were things the GM and their players could have done better. This is a cautionary tale, because I now know how to deal with (and have dealt with) people who were in my position.
Firstly, if one of your players is acting a bit off, talk to them. In private is best, as no one likes to talk about personal stuff out in the open. Don't worry about trying to help them. Most of the time just listening is enough. A simple "That really sucks" lets them know you feel where they are coming from.
If they insist nothing is wrong, or continue to act out and bother people, then you might have to make the hard choice and let them go. One angry roleplayer can sink an RP, I've both been that roleplayer and had roleplayers like that in my RPs. Your other players will thank you for kicking the bully off the playground.
I feel that hard bby.

I used to spend so much time just playing pointless "games" on Spam. Why did I do that? Fuck if I know, but I definitely missed out on some good RPs due to that weird fixation with numbers n shit.
