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.

I'm glad that worked out for everyone. After sleeping on it, I was going to take Mercurial just to get things going. But I concur with Kriegspiel seeing Mercurial as someone to be befriended, and I'm not going to say no to a chance to write with my waifu Crow ZA WULDO!

@The World How's "Eternal Ecstasy" For a team name? :3

Oh, forgot to mention with Evil Eye/Oros they could compete for waifus, both being the seducer type.

<Snipped quote by BrokenPromise>
Actually when you put it like that, I can see it working, as long as Kriegspiel feels she's the one in control. She'd make it clear she wouldn't stand for boundary overstepping, so Oros might tone it down around her just to be accepted. Who knows, they might even have romantic chemistry of the domme/sub type.


She'd have to repeat herself a few times I'm sure. but I wouldn't be opposed to it. Though Oros is a switch that defaults to sub, final warning.

@BrokenPromise@LuckyBlackCat, I'd be ok with either of you to say the truth. On the issue of my CS being short, it's most because I was trying to one-up a certain disciple of mine. I'll explain Mercurial better in game with time.


That doesn't help me though. I mean, we have written together in the past and you seem pretty chill. I don't think you wouldn't be viable as a partner or anything. Though all the same, I feel like Oros would know more about Mercurial if they are in the detention squad together. But I won't push the issue.

On the other hand, I think that, if no one can settle on a final decision, and are ok with it, @TheWendil, @CamiCat and I may pick the teams with a dice roll or something like this. Just to get this business sorted and have the girls begin building up their team work.


It's not like we're that far away from getting all the teams sorted, are we?

Schrade & Will of the Wisps are matched up.

Earthshaker and Nyxia Torrentia, Neon Tempest of the Ultraviolet Rainbow verbally showed interest OCly, with Ponn saying they wanted their team up to happen ICly

Emeth said who they wanted for Evil Eye, and while Villamvihar also picked Lucky Black cat, Said black cat looks like their top pick is Acid drop, so it makes sense to let Evil Eye have Shatterscape, as that's their top pick. It might not be finalized, but it looks close.

That leaves Mercurial, Kriegspiel, Acid Drop, and Oros the Joyful. And that's going to get made up as soon as Dark Wolf decides which of us they want to play with. Once that happens, boom, you'll have your teams.

You do what you want, but I don't think I'd randomize it at this stage.

EDIT: Just saw Erode's post. And I mean, yea, that's fair too.
Oh yea, I thought it would be fun to make a tier list, because I love making those. I thought it would be fun to do one based on Oros the Joyful, specifically who would make the best partner for her. I primarily considered player synergy, personality synergy, and fighting synergy. Or in other words:

-How well I know the player.
-Chemistry between the character's personalities. (VERY subject to review, as not many people have posted yet)
-Ability to play off each other's talents in a fight.

Acid Drop
I've liked Dark wolf, but we never get to RP together as players. I usually end up GMing for them or we sparsely interact. I also like the idea of pairing Oros with someone who is immune to being seduced, as Acid Drop can't be made to feel the lust anyone else would. In addition to that, she could hit on others without upsetting her team mate, who likely wouldn't be romantically interested anyway. Also the emotion feedback loop potential is totally bonkers, as Oros can get quite hyper.

Nyxia Torrentia, Neon Tempest of the Ultraviolet Rainbow
Ponn is someone else I don't get to play with a ton player to player. Her snarky personality is a perfect balance to Oros's overly friendly nature, and I could see her trying to crush Oros's spirit at every opportunity, or play hard to get. Also would have stupid high DPS as they both fill the "I make stuff die" role at different ranges.

Kriegspiel
My GM from another RP. I think the player fascinates me more than the character combo. It's not horrible, it's just not as spectacular as some of the other ones. But I could see Oros's need for acceptance making her easy for Kriegspiel to manipulate, even if she'd have to stay on her toes to keep Oros in check. There's also some interesting synergy with the pawns where they could explode, causing Oros to bleed and become stronger.

Evil Eye
Emeth seem like a fun sort. Never played with them though, so a little skeptical. We do have good fun in the discord in the other RP. Evil Eye has no real way of harming people on her own but seems pretty OP against other magical girls. This would be the purified magical girl busting team if it ever happened. Otherwise, Oros's small area of influence means she doesn't get much benefit from Evil Eye's sight.

Shatterscape
I played with Villamvihar in the past, but only briefly. I don't know what to make of their personality, so can't comment on that either. I do like the idea of Oros charging towards her next waifu (the enemy) with fake waifus flanking her on either side. But I don't think they have a way of really benefiting each other, as Shatterscape gains nothing out of Oros's presence, and may be a liability to her clones if they get too close.

Earthshaker
I didn't get much interaction with Lone wolf in the last RP we did together, but I got the feeling that our needs are a little different. There might be some personality chemistry there with Oros being cute and Earthshaker being stone faced, but it's not as interesting as most of the others. And in fights? They're two melee characters that have no way of benefiting each other.

Mercurial
I don't think this team-up is bottom tier garbage, but the three paragraph character sheet doesn't tell me much about who they are or how they'd interact with Oros. I'd need to see a bit more of them before I could get excited about pairing up.
@Lonewolf685 I think you forgot some of your tags, sport.


"What’s cooler than being cool?”

— Suki Oyama


Rei was cool. Being out with the droves of miseria was cool. Climbing to a perch and watching things unfold was cool. Not being transformed while surrounded by danger was cool. Giving orders with a slightly condescending attitude was cool. Not helping was cool. Calling people new blood was cool. Rei was cool.

Things that were cool were seldom smart.

Hibusa Town may have been a play pen for dark magical girls, but that didn’t mean danger didn’t lurk at every corner. Miseria were dangerous to humans. Street Lamps offered inferior footing when compared to the rooftops, which you didn’t need to be a parkour artist to reach. Just about everything Rei had done tonight would have baffled a real tactician.

But Rei wasn’t commanding people with sound minds. The people under her hand were misfits and delinquents. The lost, the corrupt, and the depraved heeded her orders. Her actions wouldn’t be perceived as foolish. She was a powerful leader, and she could be this reckless because that was just how strong she was. Some even found this bold behavior to be sexy.

The shadows under Rei surged forth, but one wrapped its tendrils around her lamp post. Red ribbons of blood hoisted a porcelain girl out of the darkness and into the sky. Her crimson eyes were just a few inches away from Rei’s. Silver hair came to rest on her blood stained dress. Sanguine red covered her outstretched arms, and formed claws on the tips of her fingers. Her lanky body swayed like a puppet attached to its strings. Rei would not have to wait long to hear her speak.

"Boss Baby!”

Obstructing your leader’s view was dumb. Chatting while a fight was going on was dumb. Being bubbly in a situation like this was dumb. Being oblivious to your surroundings was dumb, wasting people’s time was dumb.

Suki wasn’t always dumb, but she was never cool either.

"Are you cold?” She ran one of her red fingers down the edge of her dress. "I wish my costume came with a jacket. A silk dress over a leotard doesn’t scream comfort on a cold night. Heh!” Suki rambled while eyeing Rei’s clothes. "But at least we can make you more comfortable!” She pulled Rei’s hood up. "Oh yea! You’re looking as snug as a bug in a rug now! But those leggings can’t be too cozy, can they?”

There was no request for permission. Suki’s blood stained hands caressed Rei’s thighs. A grid spread across her face as she pressed her fingers against Rei’s clothes. Undoubtedly, her cursed touch felt pleasant. But Suki pulled back her hands after just a few strokes. She couldn’t turn off her magic, and it was bad form to put a curse on your boss. Without their consent at least.

"Yup! you’re leaking heat out of those pants!” Suki folded her hands behind her back. "I could warm up with a meal, but what if I’m not hungry for monsters today?” She leaned in closer. Rei could feel Suki’s breath on her ear when she whispered. "What I’m really craving will keep us both warm.”

Suki pulled her head back and puckered her lips. But she kept her eyes open. Her pupils bounced up and down in her head, as if gesturing for Rei to close the distance. Or maybe she was simply pursing her lips while waiting for Rei to respond. There was even the possibility that Suki was hoping for a kiss but didn’t want to over commit to it in case Rei didn’t approve of the behavior. No one could say for sure.
Might be cool to have a list of the teams somewhere. Maybe on the character tab for easy reference?

@Emeth I think @Lonewolf685 and @Ponn are teamed up, if previous OOC posts are anything to go by. In which case Earthshaker isn't up for grabs anymore.


"Steel nor spell can beat our foe. ‘Tis must be laid low by power of friendship!“

— Luana Roycroft


@Rune_Alchemist@Crimson Paladin

Luana nodded along as Lonan gave his thoughts. "If the two of you are up for killing it, I have nothing better to do.“ She placed a hand on her hip. "But if you’re against returning to the castle, I don’t think we can use Lif’s cannon. Regardless, I’m glad you’re being so positive about the situation. I think we can kill it too!“ It was hard not to get a little hyped up, especially after the thrill of a near death experience. In some ways, Luana couldn’t wait for it to happen again.

Luana took her spear and snapped it in half. The upper half of her spear turned into a circlet that she wore on her head. Endless eclipse covered her right eye, showing the location of the dragon at all times. Now she was sure they wouldn’t get jumped. She reached for one of her daggers and had what was left of her spear grow around it. While not magical, a bladed weapon was sure to have some use in their next encounter.

"Oh, that’s a good start!“ Luana pointed at Ethelred. "Also, it uses its front claws for fighting, but it only has two legs for walking around. If we cut off one of its feet, at the ankle where it’s shortest, that would further inhibit its movement. It might even make it less balanced when it rolled, or cut off the tail.“ After thinking a bit more. Luana shrugged. "That’ll be up to you guys. We might also have to set up a trap rapidly, so be ready for that. But I can track it and support you with my plants. And right now…“

If the dragon was still on the move, Luana could guide everyone along the path it was beating. But if it was waiting for an ambush, she’d be a bit more cautious with her approach.
Might post today, but count on the weekend. I have some catching up to do.

<Snipped quote by TheWendil>
For what it's worth, I'm totally down for Kiyo to be the one Suki tried to seduce before becoming a member of the Detention Club.

Seducing a fellow seducer, the best possible high school debut.


Even if they don't end up on a team together, I'd be okay with this. Might even be fun to write as a flashback between fights/events/etc.

You little shit!


I typically don't trust people with Homestuck avatars, but you seem a'ight.

I'm down for partnering with anyone, personally. But if anyone's particularly emotional, that would fuel Tsubomi better, not that that's a high priority.

Also, I second @Lonewolf685's statement. Fight fight fight IC.


If no one else is interested, I'm interested. In fact, I'm interested even if everyone else is interested.

I also wanna see that tug of war.
@Emeth Mmmmhmmm. Kiyo would not be my first choice, if we were going for "team cohesion." Outside of some niche situations, Suki's kit doesn't benefit from Kiyo's ability to survey an area. Though they'd be effective against other magical girls I would think. But this doesn't feel like a hard core PvP RP and I'm not looking for what's "meta" for Suki.

As for teaming up later, It's pretty easy to find a reason for Suki to approach other girls. We can meme then.
