Advertise yourself!

[Mr Fatherland]

I know there's been an advertisement thread for RPs before, but not players, so here goes.
PM the person your interested in andask them to join you RP. Here's mine.

I'm good at strengthening character relationships and hardly ever make spelling mistakes, the genre I find easiest to write in ifantasys but I'm quite capable of holding my own in a Science-fiction RP. I will never question the GM's rules and I always PM them if I think of a good idea that will contribute to the story. Enough about me, what about you.

 

[Flying-Emu]

I'm an incredibly awesome writer who specializes in playing characters with low confidence or specialist characters (supporting roles mainly). I run my own RP (Winds of Fate), and have participated in almost every kind of RP. Zombies, standard fantasy, horror, and I'm currently in a Western and Star Wars roleplay.

I'm good at keeping my characters, well, in character. They have a set, defined personality, and will rarely go outside that to do something that would benefit them.

Good thread idea.

 

[NeoAC]

Well, I'm a guy who doesn't usually RP seriously, I'd be the one providing more of a comic relief sort of role, and I'm pretty good at sprinkling it with Seth MacFarlane-esque references to other cultural things. I usually play just some version of myself, but I can play other types, both male and female if need be. That's pretty much it there.

 

[Husky.Gnoll]

I'm a long time fan of RP from Pen 'n Paper to Keyboard n' Forum,
I'm the man who you probably not play with anymore,
I like to see shit blow up and have everything come down,
I am the sneaky grassy knoll,
I'm the rampaging husky gnoll,

 

[Crowghast]

I am Crowghast. A relatively new addition to the Escapist that believes himself to be a well-known veteran. (Seeing as he tries to advertise himself.) Fully an actor at heart. If I were a pie, i'd be over-done.

My style has been called pleasantly jaunty yet coherent over lengths, taking odd directions and odd risks, twisting and turning and switching from this to that. It has also been called "unusual", "fun", "boggling" and "enjoyable." I myself, however, consider it to be wholly irrelevant, irreverent, and far too self-confident. With a heaping helping of self perceived excellence, it is unashamed of how it wastes the writer's time. And, it rambles too much.

Maybe i'm wrong, and maybe they are, it is as it is.

My writing tends to focus on description, dialog, and thought. My characters are often either eccentric, sociopathic, or undefined pieces of cardboard, and the stories I make are often involved in how they think of the world, or how they think other people think of the world, and how those things develop in their heads and fester. But I always try to make things bigger than they are, that, or I make them bigger than all. My favorite themes have always been insanity, perception, contradiction, and change. I attempt to incorporate them into my writing.

I believe this has gone on long enough. The RPs I have participated include "The Tournie RP"(Both.), "The Ratings War"(Both.), "The Kidnapping of Darth Mobius" (Where I was one of the final bosses of the internets.) and several other failed RPs that have disappeared from the forums.

I am hosting Darth Mobius' RP "Traders To the Republic", and am doing a lack-luster job at it.

Among my accomplishments include: Being the apprentice of the Logician, having a cup of coffee possibly more memorable than myself, and defeating the Ultrajoe.

Most of the descriptions here were actually his own.

I respect him now as my friendly neighborhood rival, he has declared a (un)relenting war on me. I feel thirsty now. Perhaps I shall... drink some of this fine, freshly ground, Ultra-pride coffee...

*Sip, sigh of content, wary look from side-to-side, puts down coffee and pushes away, whistles innocently*

 

[Anarchemitis]

[li]Hello, I am Anarchemitis. I've been on this internet for about five years now, and on this forum for less than that. At heart I just like compliments rightfully awarded for my efforts, and if I were a pie, I would be Rhubarb with some macadamia nuts and whip cream.[/li]

[li]I have had very little criticism over my writing style so I do not know in an honest 3rd person if it is good or not, but I would like to think it is, if not overly [or incredulously/awkwardly] verbose. I also like to think I write better when I'm really into the thing I'm writing about, or have one of those cool thought-hurricanes where you get a whole bunch of good ideas.[/li]

[li]My characters I would say are typically wry or aloof when they aren't Mary-Sues because that's what I am and they say write what you know. I'm not that good at writing a dark, sinister and especially not badass character. They seem cliché to me most of the time, regardless how they are executed.[/li]

[li]I make an excellent supporting character that's good with inventing plot devices, phlebotinum [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AppliedPhlebotinum] or techno jargon. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TechnoBabble] Looks like it's time to activate the forward humbuckers.[/li]
[li]I also make a point (sometimes) of being highly organized. Thus.[/li]
[li]Currently participating in the Damnation RP and the Adventure Story Thread.

• Previous RP's I have been in:
  Journey into the Void - Space RP by Lord Harrab. It sort of died.
  Area B7R - Self-maintaining Air Combat RP by Darth Mobius. I quit because I stopped having fun.
  Battle for City 45 - Half-Life 2/Dr. Who Mashup by Dalek-Sec & Combined. I believe that RP was canceled.

[li]I am not one for profane or suggestive themes or god-moding because they seem... They just don't fit, in my book. When in text, they're awkward if anything for me, and in film or video game I avoid them. Although this is never usually a constraint in this community, it's still something I must make known as per my advocasies. Also, I am an adamant Christian, for whatever purposes which that may serve.[/li]

Mary Sues are fo rpeople who wish their life was like their characters lives.

P.S. I hate you to...

No, actually I am a goody-too-shoes. Like for real.

 

[Lord Krunk]

Hi, my name is Lord Krunk, and I have one thing that the competition will never have.

I have the Sword of Chocolate Death!

Fear it's delectable majesty!

Lord Krunk: Get some today.

Yeah, wll you tryed to bring down my Bizare character competition by making your character like that.

Or maybe your common character flaw is being a control freak.

 

[RagnorakTres]

My name is RagnorakTres. I suppose my main RP abilities would include the ability to write eloquently without falling out of character and keeping my character ideas from becoming more powerful than they are. I am also a spelling and grammar freak. I reread every post to make sure I haven't misspelled a word or (even worse) made a bad word choice.

My main weaknesses are that I have difficulty in supporting roles. My characters in real life are often the wise characters that everyone looks to for guidance or else the charismatic ones that act as a liaison between the party and the public. I'm relatively new to this type of RPing and it takes a toll on my usual eloquence. Plus, I can't help but think of myself as superior to those who don't take the time to capitalize or spell correctly. (I do use abbreviations when I have a character limit, but it pains me.)

Since this seems to be becoming part of the formula: If I were a pie I would be a Key Lime pie.

Currently I'm in the Voyage of the Ulysses and the Fellowship of the Pony, though that last one is more for fun than anything else.

I've been debating throwing out an RP based on one of my P&P RPGs that I made. It's kind of a superpower game, but it lets you choose three powers from any anime/TV show/comic/video game/(cue goofy Spongebob voice) imaaaginaation and you play through a storyline with those powers (of course, the GM has the power to veto any power or combination of powers as too powerful). There aren't many hard and fast rules about dice or whatever, which is why I think it would be perfect for this site. If you want me to try this, just PM me, 'cause I need encouragement.

I have been playing D&D since I was 9 or so, and making my own RPGs when that got boring for about 2 years now. They are almost all based on anime that I like (Bleach, Naruto, Soul Eater) with the exception of the latest one, which is detailed above.

Oh, and I love Terry Prattchett, J.R.R. Tolkien, and a whole bunch of other writers and often steal their sayings for my entries. "One great geometric sweep, no sissy bouncing off tables or bending at the knees."

That's me, with all of my prowess and weaknesses for all to see. Thank you, and goodnight (not really).
