@Qia... try asking your DM to make the outcome of bad dice rolls funny? Worked for me one time. I loved my Jackie Chan monk. Lol.

Bio

Not born in a log cabin, I came into the RPing venture around 2009 and quickly joined about twenty roleplays more than I should have at the time. I've been around the internet in that time span, participated in and run RPs on multiple forums, and brushed shoulders with a wide variety of players and characters. Getting to work with new people has always been part of the allure of the experience.

My interests in RPing are pretty diverse, and not genre-specific; if there's room at the table and I can think of a dish to serve, I'll cook something up for just about any meal. If you know what I mean.

Post will be delayed as I'm being held at work tonight.
I'll be making my rounds for posting starting tomorrow. Worked late last night so I'm gonna turn in for the night.
Changed my mind. Going for it. If we're too filled up with Airheads, I can rewrite to a different element.

What is the nature of the magic our characters will have?
May already have a charactet in mind.
So this is still going, yeah?
Let me play.
But now that I'm here: Last day for sheets is quickly coming up. Again, I'll be reviewing them and picking a selected number to fill the ranks. Don't feel disheartened if you don't get in, there's just too many applications to sort through.


Given that there's a chance I may not get in even if I finish my sheet, I'm gonna go ahead and withdraw my intent to go for it. Prefer to set my sights on guaranteed exploits.

Wait what do you mean by the second o.O?


I had been in an RP in which the GM had a section in the Discord server that basically functioned as a journal/blog. They'd write about past experiences and vent about stuff in it.

It only ever happened once, but it was enough for me to red flag it on my way out. Just like... keep your RP's Discord focused on the RP. It's one thing of stuff to come out organically in conversation. It's another thing entirely to set up a spot specifically designated for writing about one's self in that kind of environment. Rubbed me the wrong way.
When a GM/OP keeps the lion's share of relevant lore behind the wall of their RP's private Discord server. Specifically in the case of publicly open RPs.

Also GMs setting up their own personal blogs in their RP's Discord. Cringe at best; attention-seeking/self-centered at worst.
