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.

Other interests:
Videos
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.

Joke’s on you, Ozma’s not a teacher.


Could have sword she was. Dunno what you wanna call someone who takes people on live drills. She's at least faculty, right?

@FrogRFlowR
I seem to recall Maria getting recruited to help with classes "last week," so I figured she wasn't a teacher in any official capacity.
@TheWendil@ShadowSunRisen

Acts of rebellion and being drunk on the job. The teachers are not setting a great example.
This is a true Alter as far as differences yet similarities to the original story goes.


Yea, the idea was to go "bad end" route with this one since we didn't have any alters that went that way yet.


I'm sorry, I can't accept a character based on Fionn that doesn't have to suck their thumb to use her wisdom powers.


That's too adorable to exclude. Mika's probably going to stick the tip of her thumb in her mouth when she reads her blade. Just as a quirk.

I'll probably wait until the next round of posts to introduce her, but I don't see her showing up too frequently during outings and such unless she's requested to.

You've got discord and a lot of other RP places to choose from too. I still manage to fill up on players within 24 hours any time I run a check, so I hesitate to use the word dead. Less active? Sure. Dead? Deffo nono.

Also I'm in my 30's and personally know several other people on the forum in my age group. We're out there but we aren't as numerous as the younger ones. Then again, who goes around on a forum waving their age around?
Honestly I was more interested in embodying the myths rather than the characters that appeared in them. But after spending way more time than I usually spend pouring over confusingly translated poems, misinformation, etc etc, I think I'm just going to go with primarily focusing on Fionn.

Without further adue, meet your student counselor.


@TheWendil Okay, so I have some questions.

I pretty much have everything but the actual magical girl part figured out, hence where the questions come in.

So I was thinking about doing was an alter tale based on the Fenian Cycle. Yes, Cuhullin is a total chad, but I really like the stories about the more "human" Fianna clan members led by Fionn mac Cumhaill, or Finn McCool as he is commonly called in English.

My issue is that there is no single story that these dudes appear in. They're in several poems written in a body of literature called the Fenian Cycle, which is a collection of early irish writing that spans from the 9th to 14th century. So my question is for a grimoire would it be acceptable to use a collection of stories like the Fenian Cycle that more or less follows the exploits of the Fianna, or would I have to pick a single poem/story to draw inspiration from?
Alright, I'll let you know if I have any other questions.
@TheWendil Perfect. Now if I recall, alters don't like to work with the Grand Ministry, so it would be unlikely for there to be alter grim to be a faculty member, correct?
I do think Roma has a few options regardless if she wants to go attack or talkie route, as they're in a mall and it's probably possible to aproach a few magical girls at a time instead of everyone at once. Though I don't typically like to discuss stuff that's about to happen, because like, why not just wait and read it in post?

Also asking for a friend but are we still allowed to make a second magical girl, and if so, any limitations we have to contend with? Like is it still okay to app alters or are certain grimior levels too high/low? Maybe a preference for more students/faculty/antagonists?
