Current 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.

@Majoraa The hell are you doing, Co-GM? Posting your character for approval like that.

Well, if you want my blessing, you have it. Penny Jr. is accepted and can be moved into the character tab.

It's going to be so much fun to see what greater depths of despair adventures I can plunge him into! Truly the Symphony series mascot.
@ERode It's cool. Balancing is hard to understand and I don't always get it right.

When I hear "parry" my mind instantly goes to soulslikes where the parry is usually built into some high damage follow up, so an "anime parry" is a lot more tame compared to what I was envisioning. I'll talk it over with Majoraa while you're finishing up your sheet. Looks good so far though.
@ERode Getting a bronze manaburn's worth of mana burned for free seems a little strong for silver. Maybe 25? STRONG PARRY needs to be better defined, but the core idea seems workable. What exactly is enabling her to STRONG PARRY? If a viscous blob of acidic vomit is spout out by a monster, does she just go *ting* and send the entire thing back at them?
@The World Tempest would no longer be a bend note and would become something else, yes. What the exact mana cost would be depends on exactly how you want it to behave (blink, incorporeal, something else) and its parameters (how far, how fast, etc). More safe = higher cost.
@The World I talked it over with Majoraa. We think tempest is situational enough that you can just have it so that tempest lets you include bend without any additional costs. Alternatively, Majoraa and I noticed you were going for "self-preservation, with a powerful storm of attacks when cornered" and thought we'd suggest something like an ability to briefly become incorporeal or blink a super short distance while casting a melody. But if you like what you've created, you can change the mana cost for tempest and move Gara Gura Marrie into the character tab.
@Ponn There's our knight of tomorrow! Ashley is accepted. You may move her to the character tab.
So on my way home I was assaulted by some discord gremlins. I won't get into details, but the point is I'm okay and the RP can continue. But I'm also going to offer the option to take three silver and a bronze glamor if that vibes with you better. I'm pro gold-silver-two-bronze, but whatever keeps the gremlins at bay.
The RP is live, and can be found here.
@Majoraa@Izurich@Ponn@Vertigo@vietmyke@ERode@Nakushita@The World@Nyxella

I lied. The character sheet is almost identical to the old one. Returning players will just need to be aware of some changes made to the glamor grades we're starting with.

I'm not sure what everyone's schedule is like, but I'd like to start posting soon. Depending on how many character submissions we get and how quickly we get them, I'll likely drop the first IC post on the 14th or 21st, if not some time between there. So you have a week or so to get your character sheets up.

If you need more than a single example character, you can look at the Symphony of Esper's (SoE) character tab for a list of accepted characters. Just mind that they were created to different specifications.
