just want to say hi and make some friends

@wheels u didn't wish us a good friday >:(

@TokyoPewPew

Every Friday it's like you forget what day it is for some reason.

I'm starting to think you're easily confused. It's Saturday now. I forgive you for your early onset senility but don't let it happen again.

An AI Made Adventure?

Hm. I'm down, but I submit the following.

Genre: Political theater in wartime.

Time Period: the 1600s AD, but in something of a fantasy AU. Yes.

Character Format: whichever I choose to use, mine are pretty cool.

Incidentally, my character will be Time Breaker Joe Rogan. He has imbibed too many illicit substances one day on his podcast, and now he's in another time, another place. The tallest mountain started as a stone, Joe Rogan is stoned.

Hello!

Welcome individual, to RPG. I hope you enjoy your stay. You should roleplay Kirby in the Arena section and vore people -- platonically of course.

just want to say hi and make some friends

what about friday? 🥺 do you wish us a good friday, ms. wheels? 👉👈

@TokyoPewPew

It's Thursday.

Some offense or whatever but you need to pay more attention.

5v5 3Dark vs Bolts

Yes, among other things. However. Allow I, Prophet Lith the Great to predict further shenanigans.

Chi. Pollution. Megazord. Firearm. Neck. Gasoline. Heart. Wooh, deep as I can go, I'm fatigued.

What does it mean? Find out!

5v5 3Dark vs Bolts

Rough summary:

LeeRoy goes "hey Lith, join my team, we're gonna fight in a war with people"
I go "okay I guess" and he has me chat with some wieners. They quit when they can't get someone.
LeeRoy goes "Wait gosh golly! :o I got another group we can engage in a war with!"
I go "yeah. Alright sounds cool." Thus the "Bolts."

What ensued was a near year long saga of Discord debate. Fortunately I'm Lith the Great so I won the debate the biggest and made us post again. Now we're here posting. Also as Bango astutely pointed out, one of their teammates disappeared. I tried getting a replacement for them but they rejected my immense kindness and my massive humility.

5v5 3Dark vs Bolts

It’s hard to say what this “Hael” would do in response to such a doomsday scenario where the vile wind and life force fueled strikes barraged them. Ideally, Hayden Armstrong meanwhile would avoid any such macabre timeline. Forsooth, it was certainly grand the *man piloted mecha* was so swift. Yet perhaps more fortunate still was a greedy hostile.

Like the individual grains of sand in the hourglass, time was always the greatest resource and the most contemptable obstacle to songs of triumph. One would do well when faced by a volley of arrows to raise their shield. Faced with a battering ram, well advised to avoid its trajectory would be a skilled warrior. Yet when faced with the piercing stings and the bludgeoning force all at once, raising your shield, dodging to the side, praying to your god to invoke a oathbound blessing that enhanced your body’s attributes, then launching a volley of attacks meant compared to any one reaction a compromise. At least, this was according to the database regarding clerics, foul divine wizards they were. All the same, compromise – perhaps in effect, certainly in that precious time we mentioned earlier. And like ripples in the stream of history, they beget more ripples.

It would then do well to be succinct and summarize where ripples began to flow. Senko had hardy no doubt unnatural flesh, likely through some sort of ill conceived barrier magic. This pushed them to do something rather foolish. Reyes had not been a threat, their projectiles neither enough to kill nor even wound.. and yet Senko saw fit to avoid them. Worse, saw fit to hit a feverish stride to reach *Hayden* of all people. Quick enough that their estimate was a physical encounter with an attempted “jab” right after the imminent “detonation” of all things! But not so quick that there wasn’t a timeline stretched, between this movement and action, then with the alleged metal rending storm. A time where destruction had not been wrought upon Armstrong’s person, and yet the enemy tango closed their gap just enough. A brief flash of blue silver.

Armstrong’s Intel brand CPU, unaffected by the various performance hits that previous generations suffered, could work out the math on this warped version of “if one train is moving at X MPH and another at Y, when do they meet.” Again, it would be a mere flash of blue & silver in that decisive moment – a hidden element to this math equation kept secret from the opposition, that would be the conclusive dark variable of the trick question at hand. Although not terribly strong on its own sans a bit of charge time, Senko seemingly throwing themselves towards it out of sheer hubris certainly would help. That being…

//Moonlight Beam//.

A plasma blade stretched “light” that even amidst the sauna this forest had been reduced to, would freeze bitterly. This aspect was unlikely to meaningfully affect the dubious gendered ninja clan, they were wizards at the heart of things after all. Elemental magic’s their bread and butter. The focused vacuum and cutting edge that would blast forth however; well tests had shown it working decently on numerous sorcerers. And they tended to have access to “Mage Armor” and the like. It was reasonable to assume a similar principle would take root here.

Hopefully in that moment, the combined efforts of Senko and Hayden would drive this metaphorical blade deep into the hostile’s heart. And if not, well that sucks. Ripples were messy, that’s why you shouldn’t stare at bodies of water nor gleam metaphors out of them.

It seems to be a corporate mindset now that you need to flex by snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I'd expand this to roughly 8/9ths "Sheer Ego" and 1/9ths "the possible odds this is how I save the world.

Lith's Cool Thread: Worst 1x1 Setup You Never Saw.

Hot Blooded: Lith 1x1 Thread
_____________________________________________________
Hello there. I'm called Lith around these parts. I know what you're thinking deep in the darkest depths of your heart -- get on with it. Don't worry. Let's take it nice and slow.

• I am 34 years old, and last I checked, a man. As such, I'd strongly prefer not roleplaying with someone below the age of 18 even if the content matter isn't inappropriate, as that gives me the scientific term "the ick." Don't give me the ick. I'm Lith. That's really mean of you to potentially impose the ick on me, don't do it.
• I work fairly long hours Friday-Monday, less so on Monday. Then I'm off Tuesday-Thursday, though I also frequently watch children during that time. Because I'm responsible or something.
• I'm currently doing two combat themed roleplays. Note the more things I'm involved with than zero, the less likely I'll be slinging out nonstop posts. What can I say, I get distracted easily.
• If content concerns it: far as pairings go, I'll be doing MxF. Myself roleplaying the man, solo character. Obviously if a roleplay isn't centered around romance and dirty degenerate smut written to make the FBI spying on our communications uncomfortable, that isn't really pertinent.
• I would fall into the "advanced" category if I so desired. However, I'll gladly scale with what you write. You know what they say. When in the Thunder Dome I think it goes.

However.. there is a bit of a peculiarity to this thread I should fill you in on. Allow me to begin. You see: I took all of my characters and threw 'em in the trash bin. Yes, that sums it up. I need new ones.

I have a staycation coming up on the 13th that'll be going until the 24th, and I'm wanting to write a bunch of new and moderately deranged characters up. Yet, each time I begin, I wind up playing a new roguelike on Steam or buying goats, apparently.

Here I'll show you a picture.



That Tengu was quite the winner. Oh, the goats perhaps.



Look at them. They're furious they're in there and want to kill me. So adorable.

As such, unlikely as it is I'll find someone on here up to the task because it's such a cool task, what I need is a writing partner that will help me write up cool new characters. How? That's a good question. I don't really need your help actually writing it, I use my keyboard really good. No, it's helping me brainstorm and maybe telling me to fuck off and stop playing that game that I need.

Your reward? I dunno. Look I've read some of these 1x1 requests, I'm not tooting my own horn here but I've seen some scary stuff concerning Sonic the Hedgehog, I think you could do worse. Think about that. Then hop in my DMs. Until then I'll ramble here and maybe update the thread once I actually work on any of this! Maybe even with *plots* and *pairings* and whatever is in vogue.

Wow.

"Master Roleplayers"

I know. I've really outdone myself with this thread thus far.

Hayden

Alright let's stop messing around, it's time to get to it a little.

Now I've been working on this guy, robot pilot. Has different suits that're kinda like Iron Man suits but less Marvel comics and more PC98 games, don't Google that with safe search off. In fact, don't Google it at all.

Works for a multiverse spanning military compound that Team Rocket style abducts different races, experiments on 'em, makes program backups of their brains. In abstract it's a lot like if you took Mega Man and Armored Core, then handed them to a NSFW hentai maker and said "make this fucked up." I used AI models because I think theft is cool to create assets for him.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_TKJRwX5g-y_NxBzzKPuBOacXZlS3ySK4gNiuM5qvW8/edit?usp=sharing Behold.

Tried him out in a tournament. Verdict: too "broad," I lost pretty bad. And I'm Lith, I'm a lot better than other people. That means this needs more tuning and focusing down. I really need to not make these one hour before I submit them.

Spitballing

Alright, now we hit the abstract. Vague character ideas I got in my head. I'm even gonna make one of these into a sheet sometime on the 9th, because I forgot I have a fight roleplay scheduled. Whoops!

Alright so some example ideas:

-Sorcerer with frog-themed attire/robes. Younger I'm thinking. Whole gimmick would be conjuring rain, but not just from above. From below, from the side-- basically creates miniaturized weather phenomena that ignore the laws of physics. Now how do I write that in such a way where it's reasonable to play with but isn't useless? Yeah I dunno I'll get there. It's cooking. Figure he'll be spry, beanpole build. Jump a lot. You know, to go with the frog motif.

-I wanna create a guy who is morbidly obese. We're talking, he could eat like 15 Honey BooBoo's and go "Sir, may I have another?" My stupid idea on this is a variation on the idea of caloric conversion, combining magic with what he eats to generate extreme heat. I made a kind of prototype of this a while back where it was a chef, but no, I wanna take America's obesity epidemic and weaponize it. Figure I can count calories- as in list how much he has to burn, and how much his spell list burns as his "mana."

-Made a character for a 1x1 RP that went nowhere, but he had a kinda cool gimmick. Could induce adrenaline rushes on command basically. Anxiety basket. Well I wanna try something like that, but useful. A "holy swordsman" type of deal (wielding a spatha maybe? Yeah sure why not) -- who has spells that act as self buffs. Vigor boosts, temporary stat amplifications, really lean into taking time to bring out 140% of what he can do.

-Worshiper of Apophis the long serpent of the outer dark, a deity that has active contempt for humanity but will bestow unnatural strength onto his devotees in exchange for active torture of their person. Basically a "self harm to deal harm" kind of character with this creature constantly trying to tempt him into praying for blessings. Could go a number of ways; enhanced touch and vision for precise firing of a firearm in exchange for making him anemic after as an example. Or may make him a mauler with a spiked mace and have a strength surge literally decompose his limbs in a fixed order, it's cooking. Point is, former guy I want to make "using magic to help bring out his top end" emphasizing speed, while this guy, with more of a deliberate and methodical combat approach, I'm wanting to emphasize using what's functionally magic to unnaturally go beyond in exchange for debilitating side effects. Energy drink versus underground market steroids.

-A bird. Some kinda moderately large parrot. I want this to be a talking parrot. Cyborg eyes.

-A gilded skeleton or a mummy perhaps. Guy would basically phase in and out of his pre and post death state. Would have a preordained fixed rhythm so both he and a potential victim would be able to pick up on it. Could probably work into his origins a bastardization of the tale of Dumuzi, only have him be this preservation obsessed lunatic that engineers the gilded armors of his sacred entourage the high undead. Or something, I dunno.

That's seven, I still want a few more and of course, all of these need to graduate from the idea bubble phase.

Well you read it. Get to it. I want it on my desk.

On my desk.

"Thus Far"

Already got some excellent ideas re:the frog mage with a much appreciated contributor. Possible grippli ancestry, an atavism effect? Elongated tongue, a casting implement, manipulation of rain and wind, bodily manifestation of suction cups and the like to allow better movement in the face of his own weather conditions.
