Name the place you first began roleplaying.

Well I wrote a lot when I was little and made a lot of OCs, but I never really roleplayed until I was in highschool. That was about 7 years ago? Maybe a bit less or more. But the first place I really started roleplaying is a bit embarrassing.
Ponychan.
I started roleplaying on a imageboard from My Little Pony. I stayed there since they had a dedicated /rp/ board even when I stopped watching the show mid-season 2, because not many sites had the format.
I have since been getting into moving here.

Non-over-dramatic backstories

For backstories, one thing I suggest is avoiding cliches or finding ways to work them in a way that isn't cliche. Things like:
1. He was part of a clan/squad/tribe and his/her whole group was killed except them.
2. An abusive childhood
3. They're the last of their kind
That isn't to say that these aren't good sources of backstories, I have a character or two that has the second one to an extent. The trick is finding a way to make them interesting.

Just General 1x1 OC roleplay

Bumping this with another character, possibly moving this to the character sheet forum.

HK, the NEET Oni

My Hider

HK is an Oni (a type of Japanese demon) and rather large girl. A reclusive who spends most of her time at home, she is both introvert in nature and quite bashful. Despite this, she seeks to get out of her comfort zone, even if it is difficult

Just General 1x1 OC roleplay

I'm looking to get into the rhythm of roleplaying here, not use to the format, so I'm looking for just general 1 on 1 roleplay with original characters. I have several to choose from, thinking up characters is a bit of a hobby of mine (if you can call that a hobby)
I do both non-+18 roleplay and +18 roleplay, but I'm more inclined to do the former; it really depends on the character.
Characters in the spoiler bars

The young warrior, Io

My Hider

Io is a young girl with a rather painful past. Having lost her left eye at the age of 11, five years later she is still a headstrong and temperamental girl. She's a bit of a play on "edgy" and twisted characters. While she fits the bill, possessing a somewhat tragic past and is temperamental and doesn't play well with others, most of it is a front to seem tough. She fits most fantasy settings.

The Witch, Wingate Ipswich

My Hider

Wingate is a shapely woman who runs a small bookstore, the Window to the Soul. This bookstore seems to manifest mysteriously in towns to people, where they meet this woman. Friendly, almost motherly to those younger to her, and knowledgeable about the arcane, Wingate is a powerful witch. While powerful in the arcane world and friendly, she finds herself horribly out of touch with the current age, much to the dismay of those around her when she tries to fit in.

Emerson L Palmer, a Stand User OC

My Hider

For those of you familiar with the series Jojo's Bizarre adventure, Emerson is a Stand User (think a persona only weirder). A young punk who tries to get by with what he has, living at his uncles place. Tries not to pick fights and tries to avoid others, but he always somehow ends up running into trouble one way or the other.

Quinn, the Smartmouth Cyborg

My Hider

Quinn is a cocky young boy who works as a bit of a delivery boy for a crime syndicate, or as he refers to them "a shady bunch." Kind of a smart ass whose words get him in trouble more often than not, he at least has the skills to get out of trouble. His mechanical legs able to carry him faster than most other people. Fits both sci-fi and fantasy canons with magitech.

These aren't the only characters I have, I have more. If you feel interested I can hand over my Discord ID, I communicate better over there.

3 Years

Hello, not many of you know me, as a matter of fact I'm sure none of you do, but I joined this site 3 years ago, made a few posts, and haven't posted since. But, I've decided to come back, hopefully for good, especially with more roleplay experience under my belt.
I even have a roleplay group of my own, that I hope to bring to this site, for those interested.
Aside from this roleplay group, I have several characters who I'd love to roleplay in one off roleplays or throw them into an existing canon.
PM me if you're interested. I mainly use Discord.

Guys, I'm so sorry for disappearing for so long, I feel like a jerk for being away and not telling anyone. I'll RP tomorrow if anyone is interested in that

"I typically come here to relax, mostly coming out here myself." He wasn't exactly the most social person, but he was willing to give friendship a shot. "I just wonder how the staff of this school are able to afford sucha nice garden... They're even able to keep the place unbelievably clean."
((Same here, sorry for being so sporadic with my posts))

"Ah!" He waved to Lily, before going off on another one of his tangents "We were just going on a walk through the garden, we met in the halls and thought if was going to be a lot of fun. I mean, the garden is a good place to hang out, nice view and it's typically quiet and... Um.." He stops, "S-sorry about that... Talking too much." He's always had that problem, even while growing up.

He tilted his head, curious as ever, "Uuum.. If you don't mind... Would you care to explain why you're soaking wet?" Maybe she just ran through a pond or took a shower and forgot to dry herself off.

The young centaur chuckles at Matt's display of dark humor, "Yeah, personally I'd prefer not to fall to my death while I'm here." With that, he heads to the direction of the garden with Matt.
