Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

Go To

This is a thread where, as the title implies, our avatars (from our galleries) are posting in an in-universe forum thread. You can drop in any time with pretty much any character you want, whether from existing works or your own OCs. Though most of it is done through forum posts, some "in-person" interactions between characters is also fine.

Even if this is a more casual RP, there are still some rules and general RP etiquette to keep in mind for everyone to have a good time and feel comfortable:

  • NO GODMODDING. Godmodding is when you decide what happens to another player's character, and is generally frowned upon. In particular, avoid injuring and especially killing someone else's character; fighting is ok but let the other player decide if the hit connects. If your plot idea requires something to happen to a different player's character, you'll want to privately discuss this with them and if they're ok with that. This includes in-universe moderation.
  • Be nice and respect other players' boundaries. Your character being mean or a jerk is one thing, but if someone gets uncomfortable about your behavior towards their characters, knock it off. Also do not force others into your story arcs; in general it would be a good idea to ask the other person first if they are interested, and plan it together if they are.
  • If you have anything to say, ask about, ect. that is not part of the RP, you can put it under a spoiler tag [[spoiler: like this]]
  • While almost any character is welcome, please avoid playing any real-life person who's mainly associated with controversies, drama and problematic behavior. We don't need that here.
  • Have fun!

    Original post 

Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.

And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

    orcas journal 
   today was a little worse than yesterday. Today I was beefing a lot with Chara and the green one who I think their name was ellei. I think. Anyway I was trying to go to the school again but they tried to kick me out because of tartar being my ex apparently. I never even dated the guy. They however began to hate me for some reason.   

   I decided to listen to a math class that seemed to sound interesting. I took notes and did some of the problems all from the air vents. I had to translate them to English because I struggle to write in Japanese. I then decided to take a short nap before I was awaken by a pain in my stomach. I was starving.   

   I went to the cafeteria to hopefully find a bite to eat. I ended up hiding under tables stealing food until I ended up in my good pal roes table. I snagged some food from him. He had some funny reactions   

   later on that day I was observing that same group from the sewer drain. Chara and whatever his name is tried to get me to apologize. I tried apologizing with food but I wasn’t in a position where I could give it directly to their hands so I threw it at them. Unfortunately they don’t have that good of a reaction time so the food hit them in the face. They got pissed and Chara thought that the best thing to do with me was kill me. I tried to apologize again but they just wanted to kill me even more. I tried dancing and singing but once again, they got even more aggressive   

   roe pulled up and lectured both Chara and I. The lecture spooked me a bit cuz it reminded me of how the other tartar would scold me. Of course I calmed myself down enough to look like I wasn’t shitting myself. Roe then said he would bring me some lunch for me because trash isn’t the best food for a regular biological body. That really helped me calm down. On the forum Chara got muted. I then decided to go back “home”.   

   today was a little different from yesterday. It feels like living in a drama tv series. Anyway I better be getting some rest. Tomorrow might be a big day
