Primal Conundrum

Hey nerds, F here looking for fun! (18+)

I dislike Homestuck (purely from being annoyed by the fanbase for far too long, never read the comic but the fans have caused me to actively avoid it) and while I've heard of Fire Emblem, I've never played it and I don't know a single thing about it, though I'm inclined to think it's a JRPG.

I need to stop editing my posts, by the time I've updated it you've responded xD

And honestly the rolling is an interesting idea, and it's leagues better than the "here's your character, here's their personality and history and PLAY THEM EXACTLY LIKE THIS" that I've seen some other (crappy) RPs do. You might have a better batting average of people getting character prompts that they enjoy if you explain the categories a little bit more though—not saying to give full explanations, just something. Would help with stuff that's super subjective, like the meaning of colours. For me, green is a colour of wild impulse and freedom, since I grew up in a forest. I very much don't associate it with anything medical or support related, so for me that link kinda felt like it came out of left field.

And yeah, I'd be happy to do an RP with you sometime, either group or just one on one! Let me know if you do another one of these category roll ones too, now that I understand your metrics a bit better I think I'm less likely to get saddled with a prompt I dislike :P

If you're interested in a one on one, here's a link to my search thread:

I think part of it is that some of the stuff isn't clear- I thought the colour was a visual thing, not something that determined the role. Again, not asking for a reroll since that's a completely logical rule, just explaining my misunderstanding. Would have stayed the hell away from green if I knew it meant support-leaning stuff.

Well, shit.

I can understand you're not allowing rerolls, and that's fair, but I really don't like the looks of that character so I'm just going to give my spot to Arowne. He applied only moments after me after all, and with any luck he'll get a better roll and get something he actually enjoys playing. Best I can think of for what I got is something that might make me not hate it, still a far cry from something I'd actually enjoy.

Best of luck with this then. I really do hope it turns out well, I just really don't want to be stuck with a character I don't find compelling.

For instance if you'd gone Green Augmetic Mid, you would have ended up with a non human bio-weapon, who can blink short distances and has a high calibur, low rate of fire rifle, and a energy blade (Read Lightsaber, sans copyright). Buuut no rerolls!

Interested in this if there are still openings- got anything for Augmetic, Green, Medium, Male? Looks like there's only one other character that took Medium, should round out the numbers there a bit.

Dude, green augmetic mid is literally what I put down, unless mid and medium are different somehow. I guess I'm also a bit confused since the only other person in a crazy tech suit that I can see rolled controller, and despite me going augmetic I got something that is super similar.

We have a red controller, we don't have a green one. I said Augmetic, since that looked like it was the cyborg / machine person category.

Honestly, YOU'RE the one that should be glad I'm not that one :P Bunny-demon trap? Come on, that just SCREAMS slutty subby incubus—his horns even look like they'd make great handlebars from behind! I would be all over that like oil on a greek wrestler.

Anyway, I've got an idea for how to spin my character into something I might be able to tolerate, but I really hope nobody expects him to actually heal anything. Just because the powers that be say he's supposed to be a support character doesn't mean he's going to listen.

Aw bogus, support? D: Here I was hoping for some sort of techno-monster that could bounce back and forth between melee and short distance ranged attacks.
Crap, I guess I'll see what I can do with that...

What's up! Micro-bio about me: I'm 25, been to two colleges, majored in English at one point, and I now work in the video game industry. Thanks to the whole "majored in English" bit, my spelling and grammar are generally pretty good—not gonna say flawless, but I like to think that I can usually avoid the glaring errors. I'm not an elitist about this, I expect more from myself in that regard than from others, but I still grind my teeth a bit when people clearly didn't even right click the red lines underneath mangled words. I'm not overly fond of Japanese / anime themes, I've been bombarded with them way too much for years and the bloom fell off THAT rose a long time ago. Doesn't help matters that a lot of good Western animation ends up getting ignored simply because it's not from Asia, doesn't matter if it's superior to its anime counterpart or not (I am still of the opinion that Megas XLR is better than any giant robot anime, period.) As for what I do enjoy, obviously Western cartoons as I've mentioned. I'm a huge nerd when it comes to crossover RPs, especially AU crossover stuff where the source material gets changed before bringing in the character. Ghost Rider? Boring! Make him come from 1920's Chicago and drive a Monowheel! He'll get along fine with the Unicorn fashionista from the Shadowrun version of Equestria, right? I also clearly enjoy videogames, or I wouldn't be in the industry. I've played World of Warcraft for about a decade, been playing Wildstar for months, I know the settings for Mass Effect and The Elder Scrolls almost inside out, and so on. Also, X-COM is fucking awesome. I play way more games than this, these are just the ones that come to mind as I type this at 7:30 in the morning. I wouldn't mind doing some RP as anthros (or furries, depending on which term you prefer). I wouldn't call myself a furry, I don't have a fursona or anything, but I find they can be fun characters to play. Other than that, I love playing demons, and anyone who knows me from the IRC channel knows that I've got a pretty in-depth succubus character I tend to use. I'm generally not interested in RP set firmly in reality—I live there, I don't need a pretend second life in it. Sci-fi and fantasy are where it's at for me, or even modern with a twist of either of those. Near future military stuff can also be really fun, there aren't enough supersoldier RPs out there. I'm not really a fan of romance and the like in RPs. If it evolves naturally between the characters over the course of the RP then fine, but I don't really like planning for romance to happen from the beginning. I will say that I love group RPs, so I'm happy to hear about any of those I might like. I have tons of ideas for group RPs myself, but sadly I've established that I'm really, REALLY bad at running group stuff. If someone good at running groups wants someone to collaborate with to build a setting / storyline, I'd be thrilled to be a part of that. I love all the design work, it's the execution that I have trouble with. At any rate, I like to think that in general I'm open minded, so feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message! I'm happy to hear ideas, and I don't bite- the worst I'll say is no, and it's more likely that I'll suggest a variation on your idea to make it more appealing to me.
