A Certain Variegated Pseudepigraphum [Toaru/Raildex RPG] (New)

I know I only said a few hours ago that I wanted in, but due to some sudden circumstancese, I'll have to withdraw that interest. Sorry ^_^;

A Certain Variegated Pseudepigraphum [Toaru/Raildex RPG] (New)

Sure, I'll come out of lurking to express my interest in this :)

This lurker made an (FxF) interest check because he got tired of looking for the perfect partner...

...so I'll try letting them come to me instead. Welcome. If you're reading this, you're probably looking for an FxF RP. I'll spare you the boring details about me, and get right down to business and cover the stuff most of these threads seem to look at. With a handful of various gifs to make this post a bit more fun to look at since this thread came out longer than I would have liked.

Activity? This website is not, nor will it ever be, my primary RP destination, but it is something I can check frequently if I've got an RP going. I won't demand you post every day or every other day, since I understand real life can get in the way. As long as we're both interested in keeping things moving, feel free to take your time. I may give you a nudge every so often if it's been a while though, just to make sure you haven't forgotten or abandoned me.


Post Length? Casual. Since y'all insist on dividing RPs into categories based on word count. I'll generally put out anywhere between one and three paragraphs for a post (or more if I'm working with multiple characters), but I don't really care about the length of the post so much as its quality and what it gets done. I need to be able to tell what you're saying though, so don't expect me to stick around if your posts are riddled with spelling and grammar errors. For the length itself, as long as it's long enough for me to respond to, but not so long that I'm reading a college thesis every time you respond, do whatever you want.


Dark themes? Sure! I'm not all that experienced with some of the darker themes people round these parts like to touch upon, but that doesn't mean I'm against trying new things.


Kinky stuff? Absolutely! In fact, I encourage it! Don't be afraid to tell me about that weird shit you're into; I don't judge, and would be happy to work with you so that we can make an RP that's, um... "mutually beneficial". And don't worry if you're afraid I'm gonna tell someone (nobody I'm friends with is going to care what some stranger from a different forum is into) or if imma end up turning away from you. There's very, very few things that I actively dislike, and the odds of you being into any of them is pretty low.


Actual adult content? Despite my enthusiasm just above, this is actually something I have little to no experience with. I'm not against taking a shot at it, but keep in mind that it's definitely my weakest point as a writer/RPer. I've always been more of the fade-to-black type. If we write this stuff out, it may take me a while, just as a heads-up.


Settings and plots? Don't have any! Rather than trying to throw down a list of things I made by myself and then having to tweak with a partner, I find it more efficient to just wing it and make the idea with them. I will say that modern settings of any variety are where I thrive, and I've had a craving for modern fantasy for some time. The only real set-in-stone rule here is I will not play as or with canon characters. Also, if you give me that "no anime pics" shit I'm ditching you on the spot.


Did I miss something? Let me know! I mostly only lurk round these parts, so there's bound to be some minor details I glanced over when making this thread. Anything you feel the need to ask me, be it about my RPing tendenies, my policies on something I didn't talk about here, or just what I ate for breakfast this morning, I'm open to answering. It would probably be best to ask those questions in this thread so that I don't have to answer the same question a bunch of times.


Interested? PM me! Do not respond to this thread. It's easier for me to keep track of partners and conversations when they're all separate and not blurred together in a single thread. If you express interest here instead of a PM, you will be ignored. Like the instructions are right there, anad very simple. I don't even know if anyone will be interested but I figured hey fuck it, it's worth a shot.

_Project: P.H.O.B.I.A._ [CLOSED]

So I've spent the last several days working on the lilapsophobia character, but it's not really coming together despite having tried tackling it from a bunch of different angles. I'll be dropping appropriately; just swinging in to say that so that nobody gets caught wondering where I am or something.

_Project: P.H.O.B.I.A_ [Clear your data?: Yes < No]

Sounds fun. I might come out of hiding to take lilapsophobia for my character.

Boku no Hero Academia

So due to some things coming up irl, I've got to cut an RP from my schedule since I'm losing some time in my days. And I figured the smart decision is to cut the one that hasn't started yet. Which...is this one ._.

Unfortunately I'll have to scoop. Best of luck though (^_^)/

Huntly Place; Fantasy Sandbox Mid-Casual Character Building RP

I'm still playing with concepts and never gave a definite yes/no on if I want in to begin with. That said, some other things have also come up lately so I may not have time for this and the dozen or so other RPs I'm also in around the web. If you don't hear from me by the end of the weekend just assume I've dropped (=w=)b

The Running Hero

---

"Wuooooooh! Look at all the foreign students! Where'd they come from?"

---

Name: Usagi Yoshida

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Appearance & Hero Outfit

Height: 5'1"
Weight: 113 pounds

Hero Outfit: Usagi's design for a hero outfit was rather simple. Outfit in question being mostly made up of a white bodysuit with pink gloves and boots made of sturdy rubber and built for a whole lot of running and climbing. The only real aesthetic feature on these parts of the costume is a pair of pink lines that run across the suit's length at elbow and knee heights, highlighting her joints. Covering her face when in costume is what she'd specified should be a plain white helmet with a series of small holes over the eyes so she could see in it, but since receiving it, Usagi has hand-painted a rather crude-looking smiling face on the helmet.

Since Usagi's Quirk doesn't really have any distinct weaknesses besides the large drawback if she overexerts herself, her only request aside from the actual design was that her hero outfit come with a thin layer of padding throughout the outfit, both to cushion a direct attack against her, and to make it comfortable enough to wear all day. The support crew managed to design it up to her requests while also making it a very breathable suit so that it doesn't get too hot. The boots in particular were designed with very firm soles boasting exceptional traction, making it easier for her to run along basically any non-lethal surface or to stop and turn on a dime if she must.

As a short anecdote, due to the material and simplicity of the boots, Usagi could wear them with regular clothes without grabbing any attention. Or at least, as little attention as one can get wearing pink rubber boots.

Quirk

Moving Right Along: Usagi's Quirk, simply put, allows her to maintain and tweak momentum within a 5-foot radius as it moves along. This does not mean she can jarringly change its direction, such as suddenly repelling something moving toward her. It does not mean she can magically cause an object to start moving. What it means is she can do things like gradually speed up or slow down herself or someone/something near her as long as they don't make any sudden and sharp turns, or run along surfaces most people can't use (such as walls or the surface of water), among other things.

It's possible to make much greater changes in momentum if Usagi pushes herself, but doing this will most likely cause fatigue and high amounts of physical pressure on her insides. Which, in turn, can lead to a number of unpleasant side effects. Side effects include difficulty breathing, vomiting, varying amounts of pain throughout the body, and more.

Personality

"You only live once; make it a full life." Those are the words Usagi lives by. She's not really one to shy away from issued challenges or new experiences, instead throwing herself face-first into everything life has to offer. She believes in a strong difference between living and living, and tries to get as much of the latter in her days and nights as possible. She lives wild and free all day, though not without neglecting anything she may have to do, until she's tired come nightfall, then she sleeps and usually wakes up early to start the cycle over again. Even when she's dealing with something she has to do, like household chores or schoolwork, Usagi makes sure to find a way to make it fun.

Usagi's sense of responsibility is surprisingly strong, especially for a devil-may-care girl like her. She'd likely be one of the first people in a group to take the initiative when tackling chores, and as much as she loves to play, she knows it's better to get important work done first. There will be time to play later. Besides, putting some effort out and seeing the fruits of her labors leaves Usagi with a sense of fulfillment that she did something good. It's a warm fuzzy feeling she likes, and as a result, Usagi actually loves being a productive person in both academic and domestic pursuits. If the dream of becoming a superhero fails, Usagi wouldn't mind becoming a housewife, though her restlessness would likely get the better of her before long. She's best off in jobs that require a lot of hard work, and could very well be employee of the month material what with her work ethic and relentlessly positive attitude.

Usagi lives her life believing hers will be far shorter than those of her peers. As such, she wants it to be the happiest life possible, and a big part of that is thinking positive. Optimism is something she has in spades. Feeling down is the antithesis to the lifestyle Usagi tries to live, so if she's not feeling so great, she always makes finding a way to feel better her top priority. Likewise, if someone else is having a bad day, she makes sure to help them feel better. She'll always find a silver lining in a bad situation, even if she has to think about it, and aims to be a ray of sunshine on the days of anyone that she comes across. Doing good for others feels good, after all, not to mention it gives her good karma.

That said, even Usagi's super-sunny and energetic personality isn't perfect. Far from it. She has a bad habit of burying stress deep down where she'll forget about it entirely if she can't erase it in a timely manner. This stress will build up over time, and eventually can become too much for her to handle, leading to a meltdown on her part. Usagi is also host to a small collection of lesser flaws too. She's impatient, can't sit still for long, and - as much as she loves to help people - isn't really the type of girl to take no for an answer when she invites someone to go somewhere with her. The way Usagi sees it, getting left in the dust she leaves behind with her energy and optimism isn't really her fault; the other person should have done a better job keeping up with her happy lifestyle.

Usagi is also rather terrified of death. She's not done living yet, and nothing on this earth frightens her more than the notion of her fun coming to an early stop. In the face of fear, Usagi finds it hard to stay positive, and will mostly just panic and wildly try whatever she can think of to escape a situation ending in her death. She also has a bad habit of trying not to get too attached to people (not that she ever succeeds), fearing for the idea of someone close to her also dying. Talking about death will wipe the smile off her face right quick. Or, if you don't want to spook her but need her to come down from cloud nine, it would be better to just embarrass her somehow.

This isn't easy. Usagi is mostly a pretty shameless girl who will talk about both her strengths and flaws confidently. She just laughs off rumors of being in a relationship, even with someone she likes, and can adapt to most conversation topics with ease, even if she doesn't always understand the subject. Talk about bedwetting or anything even remotely related, though, and she'll usually shut right up. Usagi is extremely sensitive about this topic, as it's something she deals with, much to her embarrassment. It's a direct result of pent-up stress, and due to her bad stress handling habits, there isn't really anything she can do about it other than guard it as a desperate secret, and ideally take it to her grave.

Biography

Is it bad luck? A curse? Perhaps bad genes? Whatever the case, the Yoshida family isn't one anyone would respect for their longevity. It's distinctly rare for anyone in the family to live past thirty, and many die as early as only twenty years old. Those lucky enough to not end up with any of the plethora of genetic disorders running in the family that would kill them generally end up dying in accidents or flat-out getting murdered. Usagi had the fortune of being born an extremely healthy girl, especially by Yoshida family standards.

Being as healthy as she was compared to anyone else, it shouldn't be that surprising that household chores often fell upon her young shoulders for as long as she can remember. She was helping around the house - with guidance from her older brother at first - as early as age three, not that she minded. When her Quirk kicked in at four, Yoshida became even more capable with helping around the house. Small nudges though they may have been, Usagi's use of momentum did a lot to help her more efficiently clean up, cook food, and so on. However, it didn't take a genius to tell the poor health in her family just wasn't normal, and from a young age, Usagi was taught about rather grim and mature topics such as death, and the fact that everyone's days - especilly those in her family - were limited. It wasn't something she fully understood until age seven.

For some months prior to this point, her mother - ancient by Yoshida standards, at a whopping forty-two years old - was clearly suffering. Eventually, she had to live in the hospital. In the end, her brother - the only one with the legal power to call the shots - had the plug pulled to end Mrs. Yoshida's suffering and reunite her with her late husband, who passed not long before Usagi's birth. Perhaps because the lessons of life and - more specifically - death had already been established with young Usagi, it didn't have as hard an impact on her as it would have otherwise. She still felt awful, make no mistake, but she took solace in her mother finally being put to peace.

Which brought the Yoshidas - now just a five-year-old Usagi, her eighteen-year-old brother, who had tried to join U.A. some years ago and failed the entrance exams due to his poor health, and a four-months-old younger brother - to their next problem. The older brother was always frail, and couldn't hold a job due to his health. Ultimately, the three moved in with their collective godmother; Mrs. Yoshida's best friend. To keep the situation off her mind, Usagi got more into helping around the house. Soon, it was like her godmother had a tiny maid running around. Her brother - possessing a superpower that allowed him to control gravity - tried to make it into the superhero business in the meantime, despite lack of a history with U.A. short of having failed the practical exam spectacularly. It had been his dream ever since he was young. However, he lacked the stamina to really be helpful for more than a few brief moments. His hero career collapsed before it could really get started six years after the Yoshida siblings had moved in with their godmother. During that time, Usagi had things of her own going on.

As she continued to grow, Usagi started getting some friends due to her ability to work with momentum. It made her pretty popular at school, and as she exercised her Quirk more and more, it became clear exactly what she was doing. The science behind it all had been explained to her a few times, but to this day, she can't for the life of her remember exactly how it works. By the time her then twenty-four-year-old brother's hero career came to an end, Usagi was an eleven-year-old middle schooler already looking to the horizon with a plan to attend a normal high school that wasn't all about being a hero. Or that was her initial plan. Her brother's health had taken a turn for the worse, and with the godmother often out of the house to work hard enough to provide for the four of them, Usagi had to leave public schools in favor of online courses to care for her brother.

One winter afternoon, he confided in Usagi that he was certain she could be a hero like he wanted to be. She didn't have any health issues to hold her back like he did, and she'd proven for basically her entire life that she could be counted on. She was a ray of sunlight to whoever was lucky enough to cross her path, he said, and never backed down from helping somebody in need. Usagi was told to try being a hero as her brother's last wish. He died three days later. Usagi was filled with grief, to such an extent that she couldn't even bring herself to go to the funeral. She spent a few months stuck in a rut, and freaked out a little bit. As opposed to when she was a child, Usagi was more mature now, and understood perfectly well that she would very likely be the next to die. She was eleven years old; nearly half the age her brother was before he kicked the bucket. By Yoshida standards, she'd already lived more than half of her most likely lifespan.

She got scared. Above all else, Usagi didn't want to die. Her sudden and excessive sense of caution wound up putting her in even more danger than her previous devil-may-care attitude had, and Usagi in general was crashing and burning where she stood. Her return to public schooling was a small step in the right direction, though she seemed to be very much a different girl. It basically took a ten-man pep talk of her friends to finally snap Usagi out of it. She was convinced to join the track team with some friends, and running on the track did a lot to help her get over everything that had happened, while also serving as good exercise for her Quirk. By the time she had to pick a high school to try and get into, Usagi was almost in full gear again. Almost.

Her brother's dying wish was for Usagi to be a hero, and - lacking a life dream of her own - she'd adopted her late brother's dream as well, which only added further pressure to her. Despite her giving him encouraging phrases like "You don't need a special diploma to be a hero!" she knew perfectly well that if she wanted to be a hero, she had to get into U.A. and succeed there. And so, Usagi trained as long and hard as she could. Her feet were practically made of blisters by the time she was ready to start actually applying for the school. By what she still thinks was a miracle, she made it in. Into the exams, at least. Now that she's taken her first step into the world of heroism just like she wanted, Usagi has started to think way more positively.

Life is short, yes, and hers would probably be extra short. So to compensate, Usagi decided she'll just have to live the best life she can think to live. Chasing dreams like a cat with a laser pointer, doing as many things as possible in life, and overall being the happiest person one can be. Those are the kinds of things Usagi resolved to do from now on, so that she won't have to run when her time came. Her newfound optimism fully restored and amplified her old carefree nature, which in turn will no doubt make learning how to be a hero over these next few years far more enjoyable. Usagi is no genius, but she'll work out how to be a hero, and her plan if and when she graduates is to blast face-first into the hero scene. As long as she has a say in it, Usagi will be a young hero whose name spreads like wildfire and whose career will be praised for years - no, decades - to come.

Supporting Characters

Ryo Yoshida: Usagi's older brother, deceased. Encouraged her to become a hero, and as such is directly responsible for her deciding to join U.A. at all. Is noted by Usagi to have been an extremely intelligent young man who would have been able to succeed at anything if not for the Yoshida family's awful health hitting him full-force.

Ken Yoshida: Usagi's younger brother, eight years old. Possesses a Quirk that lets him change the density of his body. He's still young, but seems adamant that he'd like to be a doctor when he grows up. Noted by Usagi to be a very serious boy, especially for his age.

Sumire Takanashi: Usagi's godmother, forty-nine years old. Doesn't have a Quirk, but doesn't let herself feel down about it. She's taken in the Yoshida siblings for the last few years, and admits that things will seem a lot more lonely when it becomes just her and Ken in the house. Has five cats, and is noted by many to be a sweet and caring woman who recognizes that she isn't as young as she used to be. Makes a surprising living selling a wide variety of homemade goods. She's especially proud of her ability to make quality clothes.

Other

It's extremely rare for Usagi to ever get sick. However, great though it may be, her immune system isn't perfect. Because it's so rare for her to get sick, when she actually does, it's considerably worse than it would be for most people. Fortunately, she's only ever down for a day or two before waking up back in a healthy state.

Boku No Hero Academia

Well @JustYui already has the practical mixed into the bio, so maybe HE should change that really quick.

@NightmareInd

It is done. Also went ahead and tweaked the last paragraph ever-so-slightly (mostly just changing past tenses to more present-tense type stuff and adjusting some phrasing to acknowledge that she's about to get into U.A. as opposed to having been there) while I was there since I noticed it.

Boku No Hero Academia

@NightmareIndIf you can give you final thoughts on JustYui's character I can accept or have her change a thing or two. Have decided to have the roleplay just start on the first day of class, going to skip the process of going through the exam.

Just wanted to clear that up before anyone got too used to the idea of me being a girl is all (=w=)b
