To understand the lore and why this is an ISRP, please examine this post:
https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=214518289&PageIndex=1
Now, I want one active role-player to help me here. And I want them to be descriptive and use proper grammar. The character "Avery" was a good example (although not active, and perhaps TOO much description) of what I expect to see. I want someone who will treat my world with respect and join me on a story arc that I hope will be truly epic. So I'll be accepting applications.
Application:
I. Character Sheet
Name:
Age (Anyone of any age can join, so toddlers who can shoot fire and old men who can shapeshift are also accepted ;3):
Gender:
Appearance:
Backstory:
Class (what is your specialty?):
Skills:
Why do you want to win?:
II. Test of RP Ability
Write a post in which your character puts on their gear and heads into an arena. Length up to 5 paragraphs (because then it's just frickin' ridiculous). This will also be used to test for grammar+spelling.
III. Personal Assessment
1) How active are you and why?
2) Are you an experienced role-player? Or at least willing to learn? Link any RPs from the past here.
3) How long can you handle this RP being? I could make it stretch on and on, or have it go by in a few rounds.
RULES:
1. No complaints/trolling. Either join or don't.
2. No OP characters.
3. My word is final on all matters.
4. If something is filtered, repost it in an acceptable format. Also, USE THE PREVIEW BUTTON!
5. Have fun :3
So please submit! I'm really eager to find someone who will help me make this story a reality. I've got all sorts of subplots, plot twists, and more set up in the hopes of finding someone to insert into my world.
Enjoy! :3 |

Two questions: Is this RP going to be similar in format to the previous one? (i.e.Will there be a chance for interaction with the other RPers' characters?) If no, can I join the one ###### ## the original post? |
|
|
"linked" and "in" were the words filtered in my post. Apologies. |
|
|
(Marked, expect Proto to return.) |
|
|
(However, I do have questions)
(Do I start all over with Proto? Sorry if I annoyed you last thread, btw.)
|
|
|
(I don't have time right now but I am definitely interested, I will submit a character sheet tomorrow.) |
|
|

Time for me to respond to you all.
Hygenist, I intend to use the same plot. We only got to Day 1, so it's not going to be long before we stop recycling material and begin anew! And I'm shutting down the other one, the people there were bad.
Gear, I'm sorry, but you aren't welcome anymore. These are the reasons why:
1) You were very undescriptive. Just saying things like "Lucky is driving a tank and firing at opponents" isn't good RPing. I'd expect "Lucky reaches into his magic pouch. The air around it bends, and suddenly a massive enchanted covered chariot engraved with runes appears. Lucky's rune flashes green with approval, and he steps in, waving to Proto to follow..." and so forth.
2) You weren't too active. I'm sorry, but if you are getting grounded and stuff, without any definite time when you will come back, it's going to be frustrating. I want someone who will check on at least once a day, and if not, have an explanation for why.
Crazy, sounds good. If you need any help coming up with a character, I have a few ideas which I could tell you.
As for the format:
Me and my partner will control a character together, each contributing an equal amount of role-play. Examine "O-Lord's Game" for an example of what I mean.
Like this:
TheDarkGod13: "The knight lumbered across the battlefield, and swung his sword in a downward arc at Jace."
HappyMcPappyFace: "But Jace cast a water shield above his head, and the sword slammed into it."
Or maybe longer:
TheDarkGod13: "The knight lumbered across the battlefield, and swung his sword in a downward arc at Jace. But Jace cast a water shield above his head, and the sword slammed into it. 'Can't catch me like that,' Jace said, before summoning up a wave that smashed into the knight, flinging him across the field."
HappyMcPappyFace: "The knight got up. 'You would challenge me? THEN YOU'LL PAY!' He jabbed his sword forward, and a beam of light energy shot out, hitting Jace in the stomach and slamming him against the arena wall. 'Uhg...' Jace said, struggling to grab his staff as the knight charged."
See, this is what I expect from my players. Longer is also cool. Shorter is not acceptable. |

|
(Alright, got that.)
(Thanks for the criticism anyways.) |
|
|
|
(I would like to spectate though. Maybe learn something...) |
|
|
(Sure thing! I just gotta get someone. Keep on chatting, it'll stay up top so people click on it!) |
|

(So is this like a part II?)
CS:
Name: Malex
Age (Anyone of any age can join, so toddlers who can shoot fire and old men who can shapeshift are also accepted ;3): XXV
Gender: M
Appearance: Long, black hair that is straight, with a beard that covers the face. He has armor in his shoulders and chest. He has a black undershirt on his top, and black leggings to cover his bottom. He is wearing metal shoes, that go up to his middle of the leg. He has a sword holder on his back, and on are a metal sword, crafted by the wisest blacksmith of his land, and a spiked ball on a chain, found when he battled skeleton warriors. He is about VI'III, has above average muscles, and weighs about CCLXV pounds.
Backstory: Malex as born into the kingdom of Aras, and was raised as a orphan in the poor cottages of the land. He was then adopted by a retired general of the kingdom, Sir ##### ######## III, at the young age of X. He was then trained to become the strongest warrior for the kingdom. At the age of XV, he was shown to the king, where he was made the assistant of the current general. About a year later, the general died, and he became the leader of the army. He led his army to conquer and defend all empires and kingdoms attempting to dethrone him. At the age of XXIII, he was betrayed by the king, and was sent to execution. He then managed to escape it with sly work, and has been able to hide in other lands. Then, about a couple weeks ago, magical aliens from another dimension came, and kidnapped him, forcing him into the Arena of Honor.
Class (what is your specialty?): Brawler/Fighter
Skills: Swordfighting, Whipping a spiked ball on a chain around, leaping, dodging, spinning, persuading, and chivalry.
Why do you want to win?: Malex wants to win because he has proved that he is capable of anything all his life. He has never back down from war, a duel, a challenge, or any obstacle. He believes this is simply another trial of his. |

Hmm... I see. So, you have a good layer of description. I don't like the aliens part. I'll put in a change for that (see below) So you wield an axe and a mace? Interesting. Any magical abilities? I'm just gonna warn you that these people who you're fighting ain't gonna be easy. You might want to make that mace a fire mace, or that axe a shadow axe, or something like that.
Your grammar is impeccable, although I'd suggest using preview to avoid censorship of what you're trying to say.
Now, here's what happened instead of the aliens (tell me if you approve):
Malex
I worked hard, every day. The vast forests of Valonius were rife with timber for the flames. There would be people who want to buy it at the market. And so I sliced and hacked with my axe, as though I was fighting, trying to get that same joy out of it...
But I could feel the frustration building. What was the point of slicing logs when I could be slicing flesh? Why not become a warrior again? But how would I do so? And so I raged, without a point to life, living in a small house in the middle of the woods.
Then one day, a rumor began to spread that there was a contest going on. A contest to fight in the nearby kingdom of Sorogar... A place where one could prove their strength, rise up, and become a noble. Hah! Wouldn't that spite King Kasmir for betraying me? I would be a noble, in charge of the mightiest armies in the world... I'd invade Aras... They'd rue the day they cast me out.
It was time for me to return to my old ways.
And so I set out on my battlehorse, the last souvenir from my days in Aras, to find Toronto. I wouldn't be knocked out of power so easily again! |
|
|
Omg autocorrect I cri evri tiem. Toronata, not Toronto.
Also, if nobody applies for the next 3 days who I like better...
You're in kid. |

(I'm fine with all the suggestions. Thanks for the help.) |

Name: Silas Soothsayer
Age: 172
Gender: Male
Appearance: Despite his advanced age, Silas sports a jet-black beard contrasted against the signature ruby red robes worn by the Mages of Inferno Peak. His many hard years have shaped his face into an blank, emotionless mask, giving no indication of the true nature of the man behind the disguise. Rumor has it that his immense power stems from the ring with a kaleidoscope of colours adorned on his left pinky finger. From a distance, it appears to mirror the deepest, most inner thoughts and desires of the beholder, and although many have been tempted by the promise of finding their own true desires, no one has ever gotten close enough alive to discern the true nature of the ring. Despite possessing impressive magical talents, Silas' physical stature is much less imposing. A mere 165cm standing at full height, he often appears to be engulfed by his flowing robes. Many a man has fallen pray to him when they believe him to be gone but in reality is just concealed in his robes.
Backstory: Born to a prestigious royal family, Silas grew up knowing only the finest comforts in life. As the son of the King's most trusted advisor, the Duke of Edinburgh, Silas was expected and groomed from a young age to assist Crown Prince Fredrick during his eventual reign and one day inherit the Duke's title and duties. However, at the age of 16, Silas unexpected ran from his life of comfort into the mountains, not to be seen again for the next 30 years. When he finally emerged from his self imposed exile, he was a changed man.
Although not much is known about what happened in those three decades, it is worth noting that the same time period was characterized by the brutal and ruthless tyranny of the Bandit King Viktor Radulov. Springing up in the forests in the winter of [insert appropriate time to fit time period of story], Viktor and his followers terrorized the kingdom for 30 years, looting and destroying wherever and whenever they pleased with a mixture of brute force and advanced magic. However, as quickly as they appeared, the bandits disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.
For the next 20 years, Silas retook his rightful spot at the side of King Fredrick, and by all accounts served him well. Under his leadership, the kingdom flourished and new relations were made with other distant, exotic countries. It was with one of these new countries that Silas discovered what would become his life long passion: magic. So once again, Silas dropped everything and traveled to the Island of Fire to become a member of the mages of Inferno Peak. Slowly working his way up the hierarchy of the mages kept Silas content for many years, but slowly the other mages died off and the monastery slowly fell into ruin.
Which brings us to present day.
Class: Mage (whatever he sprouts from his mouth becomes the truth)
Skills: Powerful verbal and nonverbal magic. Master of disguise and subtlety. Great leadership skills, able to sway large audiences with a combination of magic and good oration.
Why do you want to win?: A true wanderer, Silas is determined to excel at whatever catches his fancy, and has decided that this will be his next great adventure. In addition, he is looking to revive the failing monastery by generating new recruits through news of his glorious exploits and refurbish the living quarters with a portion of his winnings.
(Sorry if my writing is not up to par, I have had a long day so it is hard to convey myself the way I want and usually do. I was pretty brain dead trying to think of names and such, so feel free to offer any suggestions. I have only done one other RP recently and it is linked below, check there to get a taste of my usual writing.)
II. Test of RP Ability
Feeling pretty tired so I opted to skip this for now. I feel that the writing above combined with my other RP will give you a good sense of my writing ability and grammar, if you still want this portion completed I can finish this some other time.
III. Personal Assessment
1) How active are you and why?
On weekdays, I usually check the forums twice a day, once in the morning and then in the afternoon/evening. I am more active on weekends.
2) Are you an experienced role-player? Or at least willing to learn? Link any RPs from the past here.
Willing to learn, I did some way back in 2012, but they are not really representative of my writing now. The other one I am doing right now is "After the Trenches Nation RP". Link: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=215635686
3) How long can you handle this RP being? I could make it stretch on and on, or have it go by in a few rounds.
I am willing to have this go on at least until September.
Note: If you could find one other role-player I think it will help make the story that much more dynamic and interesting. ;) |
|
|
(BTW I can make my writing more concise if you prefer, since I first saw this a few days ago, I somehow had it in my mind that you wanted the intro to be 3-4 paragraphs or something, that I why I skipped the demonstration of writing ability part lol)
(Also is anyone else having trouble proving they are not a robot? xD I don't have this problem on my main account but having to press the reCAPTCHA every time is getting very tiring, especially when I press preview or post before the check mark appears and the whole thing glitches out) |
|
|
(Alright, I'm back on. Crazy, very nice character sheet, I like the character. No need for you to do the RP sample. And I could accept both of you and the three of us could RP... Just as long as you're both active. It could certainly make for a very interesting showdown at the end! :D) |
|
|
(The application period ends in 2 days.) |
|
|
Alright good to hear. I noticed we are likely in different time zones so having more people would help decrease the amount of waiting between posts. (I am in the Mountain TZ) |
|
|
|
(No, Windows, everyone from the previous RP is not welcome here for various reasons. Yours are:
1. Very indescriptive. Your posts were only a sentence or two long. At least Gear actually would post a few sentences.
2. Made barely any sense. Your posts had such poor grammar and punctuation that half of what you were saying was indecipherable.
3. Broke many rules. You attempted to deviate from the game path, such as trying to end the life of your character, and attack another RPer during a non-combat time.
Please improve. You don't fit up to my standards.) |
|
|
(This forum is gonna be a challenge for me because:
1) I do sin many forums.
2) I like posts short and simple.
But this is development for me.) |
