A friend of mine once told me that 'it's only ego if you can't back it up'. Too many people like to confuse confidence for arrogance -- there's a big difference.

Not to get all psychological, but some people are actually just 'wired' to take things people say literally. I'm like that to an extent, but I've learned that people here are usually just shitposting.

Happy Anniversary, Ailyn. Six years ago, you gave me a kindred soul, and brought light into a life which for all intents and purposes had been mostly nothing but darkness.

Valentine's Day's bittersweet when you've endured a long-distance relationship for over five years. Here's to celebrating the strength of a meaningful bond, instead of taking a shallow and easy path.

This bio will get reconstructed once I've left the site for good. I'll be collecting my data in the background for now, and sorting some loose ends. I'll be on and off to do it, so don't think I'm back if you see me around. Once I've dealt with everything, I'll log out properly and remove my 'ghost' status, and that'll be the last this site sees of me. This community is in serious need of growing up, and I'm not the least bit surprised that role-plays die here so frequently.

The 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' role-play is likely to reboot elsewhere eventually. The role-play will have some modifications, so contact me if you're curious since the original project won't accurately explain everything. There's no determined date for it to happen yet, since I've got other priorities and I'm not investing a lot of time in it until enough of the people interested have free time to properly commit (lack of dedication on the part of some players practically destroyed the previous version; it's very apparent it would've died even if I hadn't decided to leave). There's a group that're quite interested, but most of them are busy.

Anyway, come back later for an update later -- or don't; it's your life.

Contact Details

Tell me who you are or I possibly won't accept the request, since I assume most requests are bots.
Yes, people who I rarely/never spoke to - or who never met me - while I was still here are welcome.
No, those who disrespected me (and aren't sorry) while I was here or are trolls/immature in general aren't welcome.
Also, keep in mind that not all of these are currently being used actively, so friend request replies might be delayed on some of them.

Playstation Network (PSN): Shoryu_Magami
(I'm fairly easy to contact through here, though I'm not really gaming much due to my main project's workload.)

Discord: Shoryu Magami#4323
(Unlike Skype, I primarily text chat on this instead of voice chat. It's currently one of the easiest ways to find me. It causes my PC a lot of problems though.)

Skype: solitaryangel1983
(Usually running on my phone, mostly so I can talk to my fiancé, so it's easy to find me here. I've currently got no access to it on PC. It might take a while to see requests.)

Facebook: James Koutsoukis - Shoryu Magami
(Barely ever on this, but it exists. Mostly exists so @Ailyn Evensen can list me as her fiancé. You'll find me easily on messenger if you add me, but I don't do much else.)

Yahoo IM: shoryu_magami
(Does this even still exist anymore? It used to be my main method of text chat, but it's not on my current PC.)

Sounds good to me. My next post'll result in our first battle being initiated, and a new CS will get revealed. Let's just say, I've been withholding a lot of stuff from you guys for months now.

I could put the CS up now, but you prolly don't want the spoiler.
@NekoMizu

Minds like these, for better or for worse, probably only come around once every two thousand and seventeen years as well.

I guess it was inevitable.
@aviendha

Based off this discussion, I presume that 'LARP' stands for 'Live Action Role-playing'. Interesting. I've only sort of done stuff like that before, and never with like a group of people I don't know or anything. I got my start in storytelling/role-playing as a verbal storyteller though, as well as by creating games for my younger siblings and friends to play when I was a kid.

I'd love to pick up music at some point to be honest, especially since it'd put a lot less physical strain on me (I suffer from some rather nasty physical health problems) when compared to something else I've always wanted to learn (martial arts). I'm mostly just too busy right now, due to my writing projects.

Since you asked me about a campaign, I do actually have one in the midst of starting up. It's the one I mentioned I'm running in my last post. It's technically listed as 'Full' now, but I'm still accepting last minute entries until we get to a specific plot point where they'll no longer be accepted (which shouldn't happen for a couple of weeks still, I imagine). If you check my signature, you'll find a link to it. Fairly extensive OOC, so make sure to read it all to make sure you'd actually stick with us. If you're using a phone or something and can't see signatures, I can give you the link, or you can find it in my user bio.

Anyway, all the best with the site.
@NekoMizu

Another option would be to keep this thread as 'absurd', and then make a sibling thread for 'original'; however, it sounds like you were somewhat looking for a combination of the two. It's just a point I figured I'd make because absurd doesn't automatically translate to original.

Honestly, I could come up with plenty of ideas to contribute to the thread (absurd or not), but if I keep doing it I'll just get annoyed about the fact that I'm not getting payed to create original story ideas. Plus I don't feel like spending time deciding how to top the last one I threw at you, at least not yet anyway.
@NekoMizu

Monster's essentially right up my alley in many ways, with what I said previously being one of them because I generally dislike escapism when it serves no purpose beyond being escapism. Admittedly, I do prefer things to have supernatural elements, but Monster just did everything else so perfectly that I was able to ignore the lack of those in it. Generally speaking, I tend to have no interest whatsoever in stories that lack a 'literary fiction' quality to them. My tastes tend to be a bit too mature for me to get into many series outside of just a casual watch, though I've found a good number that I've enjoyed.

Anyway, based on what you said I think 'original anime plot ideas' makes more sense than 'absurd anime plot ideas', but then the vast majority of the examples in this thread definitely lean towards being absurd. If it's simply ideas that haven't been done, then chances are more serious ideas will be more original because the vast majority of shows out there are absurd.
@NekoMizu

Naoki Urasawa's Monster is heavily rooted in realism and for the most part doesn't have anything absurd in it, at least in the sense that anything particularly extreme or crazy in it still manages to be more or less believable. Though, I suppose it sort of depends on exactly what people define as 'absurd' in the first place.
@Awson

Alright, so the 'movie series' movies specifically. If I gave an answer, it'd be a guess -- I don't follow the movies, so I don't know 'off the top of my head', no. I'm curious if any of the fans'll know.
@Awson

Specifically the 'movies', or do things like the CGI spin-offs to the main (canon) series count?
I'd give another idea, but considering no one's broken @NekoMizu as badly as I did earlier, I'm still the reigning champion as far as I'm concerned.

@Bakamusume

Just cheese, or any cheese-based product as well?

@ScreenAcne

So basically the main character is one a quest to create fanservice in a world without fanservice?

@Burning Kitty

I'd make the argument that your idea actually exists. There's a couple of anime out there with a heavy focus on realism. My potentially favourite anime of all time is arguably one of them, in fact.
@NekoMizu@Bakamusume

You two're strange.

I'm possibly gonna put a link to this thread into the OOC of my role-play, just so people know there's another place to mingle. We'll see.
