The Troper Parable - Signups

And so the Narrator did give the good Tropers of Tv Tropes a signup thread for the Roleplay. This was to be a lot of fun hopefully!

Character

It was at this point the Narrator would like to point out that powers were completely optional, and may never be used in the game at all.

The narrator wished the Tropers good luck and to have fun making their characters. After all, this was to be a fun The Stanley Parable style game.

Character

Name: John Smith

Age: 35

Appearance: This guy's face. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RidiculouslyAverageGuy

Skills:

1. Jack of All Trades - Name one skill and he has some knowledge at it, but he isn't skilled at it either.

Personality: Joe is an empty shell that has dreams of participating in an adventure, but he does not have the courage to face the dangers of any journey. He believes that he is cruelly imprisoned in a life that cannot give him any mark of distinction; all he wants is to be special. Everyday, he tries to find something that he might be good at, but he always scored average, neither being excellent or horrible.

Powers: None, save his averageness.

1. The Most Average Face - His face is so average that he looks like everybody.

2. Undistinguished - People can't pick up any unique qualities about him, and so they forget him in a moment.

Notes: Joe may be the epitome of mediocrity, but he strives to be better than average.

The Narrator looked over the sheet and approved, but he was surprised, never before had he seen a character so designed to be... average. So incredibly average his interest could be summed up as Bread.

No, even bread is more interesting.

Name: Gyro
Age: 15
Appearance: Human form resembles your typical teenage boy, except his hair is snow white. Yea, don't ask. His dragon form is long and thin, with dark blue scales and equally long wingspan. Might provide aicture when I can.
Skills:

• Observant- Gyro has a good eye for things, but doesn't usually realize he has a good eye for things.
• Athletic - Mostly thanks to experience.
  Personality: A bit of a free spirit, though he'll go along with others if it doesn't hinder him. Usually laid back, but will become serious if the situation really needs it. Can come off as a bit blunt or insensitive at times, but is usually well meaning. He seems to enjoy playing practical jokes and the like on others.
  Powers:
• Capable of shiftshaping between a human form and a larger dragon form capable of flight. Can comfortably carry about 2 normal adult humans when in this form.
• Has some Playing with Fire abilities, though they are less powerful in his human form. This also comes with him being mostly immune to normal fire.
  Notes: Dude doesn't seem to like being confined to a boat. Or the ocean. Just thought you should know.

The narrator saw no issues, perhaps the dragon form could be used to solve puzzles. Ah yes puzzles, everyone loved puzzles now and days!

Star Bee. Was approved.

I changed my character's last name from "Doe" to "Smith"

Oh hey, a RP I can keep myself busy with. Lampshades ahoy!

Name: Heva Vasker

Age: Seems to be 14-15

Appearance: Here.◊

Skills:

A way with words - He crafts his words carefully, trying to refer to alien concepts to another, more understandable term. Dodging - Due to having fought through numerous curtains of bullets, he can dodge quickly. It's a natural reflex to him by now.

Personality: He is... unpredictable. Nigh incomprehensible, even. Being a Genre Savvy person, he exploits this to his heart's content to get his own way. He can be also very optimistic, and has crazy ideas inside his head that may or may not be actually the solution to the current problem. Oh, and he LOVES guns. Must be all those Cave games.

Powers:

Psychic Powers - Due to his Claircognizance, he is thoroughly aware of the fourth wall, but he keeps this to himself. He also is capable of beyond advanced psychokinesis, including messing around with molecules. Being a powerful esper, he also can fly, and use...

• Danmaku - Well, it's not like he uses Spell Cards. But he can dish out some seriously seizure-inducing attacks fast or dense enough (or both! to nerve-wrack your brain.

Notes:

• Loves shmups. Favorite one is Hellsinker.

• Has the tendency of eating food while people speak what he considers boring.

I've been thinking of getting back into roleplaying and this thread looks pretty interesting! But a little question first: Must the characters be OC-only or can you use characters from existing works?

Sorry guys, this kinda petered out. It never really went anywhere fast so I'm gonna have to close this down. Sorry.
