HELLO PEOPLE!
I am Hat, and if you have clicked on this thread you are either bored out of your mind and just looking for anything of slight interest, or are here about the rp.
For my sake I'm just going to go ahead and assume the later.
I am with an RP called well... huh you know you'd think that after rping for 2 years together we would have come up with a name by now... huh... T_T
Lets just skip the name shall we? The point is that I belong to a Sifi / fantasy Rp with 8 members including myself and we require new members.
What Type of Rp is It?
I just said that... scifi fantasy T_T
What do you mean by Semi Serious
While we don't always post in massive paragraphs like you would see consistently in a full on serious rp; the very character development oriented story lines that we always seem to sometimes developed coupled with how seriously we take our rp didn't quite make it fit in the "fun" category.
Some grammatical errors caused by auto correct and whatnot can be overlooked so long as we can tell what you are saying, however we do ask that if you by chance mess up the spelling of something you go back and correct it. We also have our own method for use of things like radios, whispering, yelling, and other characters you play along with your main.
W-Wait... Did You Say OTHER Characters?
Yes, many of us have an extra sub character that we play in addition to our main... most of the time simultaneously... as a person who is normally playing 3 different characters at the same time I can assure you it can be quite the challenge. However it is not required at all for you to have a sub character or even play them at the same time as your main if you do, just do what you feel yourself to be capable of.
Will it be Violent, Dark, Profane, or Contain Adult Oriented Content
While we do have a "keep it implied" rule for sex (which SOME people don't ever seem to follow *cough* Chris *cough*) extremely violent and horribly dark situations ARE common.
Can I Bring a Char from another Rp into It? I Don't Want to Make a New One...
Only if it matches out lore
Lore?!
4 Years of it to be exact! When you are a freshmen in high school and are bored out of your mind with your 3 friends things happen.
Do I have to hear it ALL?!
I will give you a basic overview of need to know stuff but I think its more fun if you and your character learn the rest at the same time, it makes for a much more authentic experience.
Can any Race Join?
I'm not so sure how anthro dragons or lizard people would fit into our rp but otherwise all are welcome!
What Time Do You Guys Normally Start Rping?
Most of our members live somewhere in the US so we all tend to get together from 7ish to midnight. (US Central Time)
However, during holidays and weekends its not unusual for 2-5 of us to be on fairly continuously throughout the day.
-
Sounds cool, however I doubt you want me to join so, I'll just do a little dance congratulating you for your cool-sounding RP. *does said dance*
-
Oh I dont know about that :)
Tell me a bit about your previous rp experience or lack thereof and we can talk
-
If mah mate's going, I wanna go! :p I'll talk to ya. bout my experience if you want. Just in a bit, cos I'm doing airsoft right now. (And my phones dying!)
-
Fair enough Mr. Naismith, however the fact of the matter is that Kik has a maximum capacity of 10 people; we currently only have room for two additional members and wish to have said members be female to help repair the horrid "sausage fest" that we currently find ourselves in.
Now, you seem to be a good guy Naismith, however if you and Lottylives are a pair then getting you both in will be difficult.
As much as we love Kik this maximum capacity of 10 has become the bane of our collective existences, and we are currently in the process of searching for a new platform on which to host the Rp.
I have looked at whatsapp, which boasts a maximum capacity of 50, but sadly the requirement to enter your phone number removes any hope of anonymity which we are not so willing to part with just yet.
Should you know of a good platform we could move to I will be happy to give you both my approval and send you two before the group for the final vote. However if you actually fix our capacity problem I find it hard to believe they would deny you.
Sadly though until such time I don't know if there is much that I can do.
-
Yeah I've looked into what's app and that's a no go. But we could try line. That might work.
-
line?
huh I'll take a look at it
-
*shrug* I'll do a female if you want! I'm open for pretty much anything... What about skype? What's it's capacity?
-
That may not be necessary, and for the record, we all despise Skype with a burning passion.
I'm taking a look at line and it looks to me like we may have found what we have been looking for.
I think our maximum capacity has just skyrocketed to 100...
In any case now that that has been dealt with why don't you tell me a little about yourself and your past rping history/lack thereof
-
Well, I do writing as a hobby, though I have grown a bit lax with it recently. For a while, I did a pseudo RP (more like co-writing a story) with a buddy of mine. We regularly got up to 1,000 words,though we often took long breaks in between writing each thing. I tend to be the professional soldier type when I RP, though it's not necessary. I'm open to literally any type of RP. I try to lengthen up my stuff, though I may become a bit laconic at points, because fluff is not the best of things, in my opinion.
-
Fair enough.
What timezone are you in we are on mostly from 7ish - 12 US central
-
I'm in Florida, I forget the exact timezone.
-
Anyway, I've been talking to everyone and we all seem to be moving over to line just fine!
So our carrying capacity just jumped to 100!
Looks like I'm going to doing a lot of recruiting then!

Good to hear, then time change shouldn't be a big issue
Post Merge: November 16, 2014, 05:07:48 AM
Do you have a mobile device or anything that can get the app line?
-
Yeah, I've a iPhone, but I won't be likely to get line until tomorrow, cos I need the apple account password, which I don't have... So, I'll see you tomorrow!
-
We have decided to stay with kik despite the limit as after more use of line we have found it to be well... shit... :(
However we are still interested in adding you both since well... your the only ones who applied. Well that and plus you two seem to be quite nice.
I've gone ahead and given you both my ok for the initial look over all that's left is for you all to meet everybody and everybody to vote.
If you could go ahead and get kik I think we can get this done and have you in time for tonight's rp. :D

Oh I almost forgot.
Once you get kik my username is hatdudeman.
Add me and I'll invite you and Lottylives on in ^_^
-
We both already have Kik.
-
Great!
add me!
-
Hi! I'm completely new to this community, but I've been roleplaying for years (mostly over Skype, email and 'speed' roleplay). I'm looking to start up again somewhere and was wondering if you're still looking for members. :)
-
At the moment we have one open spot in the rp.
However there is another we are currently looking at as well for the spot.
Please do not let this dissuade you though from applying as she lives in denmark and time zone differences will most likely cause some complications with her joining.
If you have a character sheet already made up I can take it, but if not then we can just skip to telling me a bit about yourself :)
-
What kind of stuff do you want to know? I can post the simple bio I usually use!
Name: Khassandra Greybird
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Species: White-Tailed Deer
Personality: Snippy, easily irritated, she's small in stature but big in personality. She tends to make her opinions known and speak her mind. She has a fairly strict moral code, and will uphold it no matter what her circumstances.
Physical Traits: Fast and agile, she has most of the physical traits of her species including excellent hearing and sense of smell.
Weapon of Choice: Steel baseball bat with metal scraps welded to the end.
About me personally; I've been roleplaying on and off for 5-6 years (can't remember exactly when I started). I spent most of the first couple of years in speed roleplay, which is feral clan/pack based and basically amounts to 1 or 2 sentence posts where you try to attack and kill members of other clan/packs. The importance there was, as the name implies, your typing speed. The last years were spent on paragraph RPs, both original characters and canon characters, humans and furries alike. I'd like to think I'm pretty decent at it! Because I've been going through email lately I've gotten used to just replying whenever I've got some spare minutes throughout the day, but I'm on Pacific Standard Time so two hours behind you guys. Wednesdays and Fridays (during the semester) I'd be busy for the first half hour due to class but every other day your time schedule works for me! I also have pictures (self-drawn so not all that great) of this character as well as others, if you'd like to see those. Not sure how to post them here though!
-
Normally we run a very fast paced rp, usually using 1-3 sentences per post as thats the length of a statement in real conversation.
While typing speed isn't what is so critical for us you may want to brush up a bit on your faster paced rping as our last additions were blown away by what we consider to be slow.
-
I'm hopeful that I've retained most of my speed skills as well as world adaptability, though I'm pretty curious as to what the four years of your RP has built up plot/world wise. Will you tell me more, or not until after I've been accepted?
-
Lets just say at this point the lore has gotten to be so large that knowing it is like being a lawyer and we have to have specifically designated "keepers of the lore" because taking the time to learn it is impractical its just that big.
-
Should I add you on kik then? Or do you still need to discuss it with the other group members to make a decision?
-
I just have a few more questions really before I am ready for that final step.
First off how do you handle extreme violence/dark and/or messed up themes?
The rp has gotten quite dark on more than one occasion and while I eat that stuff up some dont...
-
I've done some pretty dark stuff and handle it pretty well; for example I recently did a scene with a roleplay partner in which my character (I was playing a male at the time) raped theirs and tortured them for (if I remember correctly) about four days. I won't go into the specifics unless you'd like me to but I'm totally alright with dark themes, I think I can separate reality from roleplay pretty well.
-
you know...
I think we will get along just fine MWAHAHAHAHHAHHA
*cough cough wheeze*
heh... anyway why dont ya kik me and ill intrduce you to everyone
its hatdudeman
-
Sure thing, I'll hit you up there!
-
Due to the new kik update increasing the max group size, we can now once more open recruitment to new users
-
Still accepting applicants?
