Hello Everyone! Guess I'll get things started to see how the new format operates, huh?

[Neptune]

I still need to sort out my character IDs to be posted up lol

[Tema]

Yeah thats a problem with having so many characters. I think I will get Tripp sorted out ASAP. So I can start roleplaying again.

[Neptune]

Yeah I need to get the important characters done ASAP.

[Manni]

Hello! Just seeing if anyone still here!

[Neptune]

Well, we're now set up in the club system. Hopefully we'll get some others roleplaying at some point.

[Tema]

I want to put up some characters soon; like Tripp, Kayalarvana and a couple of others. But with all the work I've still got to do; it'll be soon just not immediately soon.

[Neptune]

Take your time. I don't think I will be putting all of my old characters. I'm not sure on that... mainly because it would require a LOT of work lol

[Aura]

Hi! I'd love to join this roleplay, but I'm not quite sure where I'm supposed to post my character ID? Well, more specifically, I want to look at other characters' ID's to make sure I'm formatting mine correctly. The instructions say to fill out the template in the description of the image, but I don't see anyone else's descriptions when I click on their characters' pictures on the ID page. Perhaps I'm just not looking in the right places for them? I'm new to the site, so I'm still feeling around. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Nevermind, I was really stupid with this whole thing. For some reason I thought I was looking at blank templates ^^;

We all have our moments ^^;; Welcome to Blackberry Falls.

[Aura]

Ugh, well, I went ahead and uploaded a WIP of my character. I wasn't planning to, but it's way too late and I'm exhausted, so I just keep writing in circles. I had an idea that I really liked, but I kept running into logic issues and I just need to sleep so I can think straight again >.< I'll try to finish the ID tomorrow! It might involve completely reworking what I have.

[Neptune]

I can understand that; I have to completely rework one of my characters. Diomedes, because there's been a lot of changes to him. I should really get on with doing that. But what you have for your character thus far was a very interesting read, even if you are going to rework her xP

[Aura]

Thank you! The biggest thing I'm stuck on is keeping her from being contradictory. Like, she has this horrible tragic backstory that leads to her wanting to treasure her virginity, but I also want her to have a lot of sex, and her tragic backstory is supposed to lead into how she moves to Blackberry Falls as a refugee. The original idea was that she gets kidnapped with her family and shipped together with her sister to live as sex slaves and she escapes with her sister only to find that her sister is ill, so she tries to take her to Blackberry to save her sister, initially trying to go to UFF, knowing it has the number 1 hostpital in the world, but failing to meet the immigration requirements.

The ultimate idea is that I want her to have a tragic story that causes her to hate herself, but I also don't want that story to completely dictate her personality. I want her to be able to enjoy herself, but occasionally be reminded of her own insecurities. I definitely want her to be a virgin while in Blackberry Falls in the beginning as that's supposed to be the only thing keeping her from just being a prostitute, which is something I want her to consider with a lot of humility. I'd also like her to lose that virginity either through rape or being played.

Edit: Well, the finished ID is up! So, do I have to wait for the character to be accepted or can I just jump write in?

[Neptune]

The character is definitely acceptable. That bio was really detailed and quite fun to read so yes, jump straight in. I look forward to how Sophia develops as a character.

The only character I have that would do that to someone, would be Diomedes but it would take a lot to draw him out of his basement lol

[Aura]

Haha fair enough, she could also get more sexually active with another girl trying to get her to let loose.

[Neptune]

That's very true lol

[Neptune]

Nice opening post, @Aurafox1. As I mentioned before, Diomedes could be a good candidate for your desire in regards to her virginity but as I also stated it would take something big to draw him out of hiding. One good way of getting his attention is shit like demon activity lol I need to modify his profile to reflect changes to the character and to add things in that I missed, such as that he's a smashing singer xD He's quite a complicated fellow, but he's hard to get the attention of. But, I think if Kaylaen and Sophia were to interact, they might become good friends since Kaylaen is quite laid back and he treats everyone equally. I've not actually introduced him to the RP yet since he's quite a new character.

Also just a small announcement; I'm making a small modification to the Character ID to have it that you can have Date of Birth, instead of Age. So you could use one, or the other. Or both lol

[Aura]

@Neptune I'll have to check out Diomedes's and Kaylaen's ID's then! If Diomedes is a great singer, then he might definitely be a perfect candidate for stealing her virginity away. It would be quite fitting for Sophia to be dominated by someone who, in her eyes, can do her job better than her, and it would fit in well with her current dilemma. 

[Neptune]

I need to modify Diomedes' profile. I'll let you know when I've finishing doing so. Kaylaen is just... sweet xD And a fantastic cook so, definitely someone you want to make good friends with xD

[Aura]

@NeptuneI'm excited already! You've done a fantastic job on these bios, too! Kinda makes me feel like I should expand Sophia's ^^;

[Neptune]

Well, in fairness, I've had the character Diomedes for a fair number of years now. I've had a lot of time to really expand him and develop him as an individual. He started out pretty... well, on dimensional. But he's grown into one of my favourite all time characters. Kaylaen is relatively knew, but I was thinking and developing him for a while before I wrote up the profile. And it took me a few weeks to do it since I was being a bit lazy at the time lol

[Aura]

Lol I can definitely understand the lazy bit. I almost always get that way when it comes to creating new characters in roleplays. I'm honestly not much of a fan of the formalities of filling out profiles for each character you want to use, but I understand why it's important. Any time I try to improvise a new character in action, I usually end up contradicting myself later, so it's good to have a process to make sure you know all the ins and outs of the character ahead of time. But it can still be a pretty big hurdle.

[Neptune]

Completely with you on that one xD Because I'm the same way. It also helps familiarise you with the character as well, to help you get a better feel for them. The struggle is real. First World RP Problems, Amiright? xD

[Aura]

I do think that the ID requirements for this board are a little excessive... for the most part, it seems like the entire family category should be optional. I can't imagine a lot of characters have family members actually being directly relevant to their character, and even more so for grandparents, and especially considering their race and nationality is described separately. Any of that information seems like it would be covered in the biography, along with friends and relationships, wouldn't it?
