Welcome to what may or may not be the first roleplay discussion thread on Menewsha. This may seem wrongly placed, but no worries! I asked Jelly, and the mutual consensus says it should be here. =)

I have decided to make this thread because I enjoy roleplay, and being that this is a forum-based website, I figured quite a few others enjoy roleplay as well. Thus, it'd be fun to talk rp with everyone, share plots and events in rps, tips and tricks, and all that fun stuff!!

But like every well-structured place on Menewsha, I am going to have rules and regulations. And to further supplant this, I am going to add a disclaimer right now. =)

DISCLAIMER: All ideas that you give away here, you leave to the discretion of roleplayers around you to use. It'd be NICE if they asked, but do keep that in mind. :yes: ALSO, this thread may include things that could edge a little over PG-13, so I do not encourage those with little maturity to hang out here and giggle at whatever might be too much for them, or be grossed out by gory scene descriptions to the point of immaturity. =D

Rules:

Follow the Menewshan ToS. A given
Please don't get nasty with people. Debate is okay, but if it becomes a bit more aggressive, I may ask you to take it somewhere else.
No flaming others or their ideas. =)
Exercise some maturity, please. We're all presumably 13 and up, let's not be too childish.
If a topic bothers you, please refrain from snarking about it. Just try to disregard it.
If you want to take something from offsite that YOU wrote and it isn't uber long, you may post it without quotes. But if it's uberlong, or if it has someone else's character or something, you MUST QUOTE IT!

Basic Info You Should Keep In Mind

Roleplays are pretty much stories that someone writes out with partners. You may have more than one roleplay partner in the roleplay, and can have as many people participating as you like. However, eventually things get tedious, so you have to be careful.

Private Roleplays are roleplays that you do with approximately one to three people only, or you do them only with close knit friends. The typical staple for these is 2 people. They can also be referred to as one-on-one for this reason.

Roleplays, of course, cannot exist without plots. The plot is what keeps the roleplay going, and it is up to EVERY roleplayer to contribute something to the experience. Not just your character's presence, but plot devices! Sometimes, we refer to these as plot bunnies, simply because once you release the idea, it grows and multiplies into many different scenarios.

There are several levels of literacy know throughout roleplaying. Literacy is...well, exactly what it sounds like. It's your grasp of the language you speak, concerning grammar, syntax, and ability to create and manage your "story."

n00b: This is the one that usually bothers people. A n00b is not an endearing term, but rather, a term that means one is not at all literate in roleplaying, and they do not plan to learn how they can better themselves. As such, they can be obnoxious.

Newbie: These are similar to n00bs, with one huge difference: They seek to improve, and take criticisms with a grain of salt. Just because they aren't good doesn't mean they can't be. =) So if you ever see a struggling newbie, by no means should you shun them! Help them learn!

Semi-Literate (Semi-Lit): A roleplayer who has a basic grasp of grammar and spelling, and does fairly well with plots. However, they do have some trouble with length, and making substantial posts. This of course doesn't mean that they can't be any fun to rp with. It just takes a bit of patience, for there is not as firm a grasp of supporting oneself storywise, or there may be a problem with grammar. There may also be a few issues with addressing everything necessary in a post, such as balancing dialogue with actions. However, Semi-Lits convey themselves well and are still enjoyable to rp with. In my experience, however, Semi-Lits can have trouble doubling or tripling.

Literate: Roleplayers who have a clear grasp of grammar, spelling, and are able to expound on their plots and make them grow without assistance from others. Literates usually create longterm roleplays that are ACTUALLY longterm, and can usually carry them on for a standard of 100+ pages in a forum of approximately 15-20 posts a page. They do sometimes lapse in post length of course, as well as grammar, but for the most part, their stories are well rounded. They click well with other people and usually can support themselves well enough, creating random characters whenever they are needed, and sometimes adding them to their arsenal of characters. Some Literates can do far more than simply double, and run the gamut with 2 to 6 characters, though it does become extremely taxing, as with anyone.

Advanced Literate: Like Literates, but with a little extra. There are rarely lapses in grammar and spelling, and posts are usually quite long and substantial, and have very high-level vocabulary. They are also usually quite descriptive, though a good Adv/Lit should always remember to not overdo it. In addition to clicking well with others, Adv/Lits can make the most out of a potentially undesirable situation, and make something of an rp they may not enjoy as much as another. All the same, even these class of roleplayers are not perfect, and sometimes do lapse in spelling. For some, that may be linked to typing speed. :lol:

Elitist: Now that we've run the entire gamut, you have reached the not-so-nice literates known as Elitists. Elitist are either Literate or Advanced Literate, but they are also highly abrasive, and can be full enough of themselves as to give unconstructive criticisms to other lower level roleplayers, or even to those of the same rank as themselves. For example, they may flame someone for not being fluent in English, even after knowing that is not the person's first language. Or if they are roleplaying, they find it a complete turn off if someone has a minute lapse in grammar.


Whoo. Okay, I think that's a good description. Sorry, I wanted to add this, just in case some non-roleplayers came in and wanted to learn how to enter the ranks of the storytellers! =)

Abel Sez Whut?


I made some banners, so perhaps you'd like to use them? Mind, I made them on paint, so if you want to make better ones and donate them to the thread, feel free! ^__^

I do ask that you host these on your own server if you can, but I don't mind if you use them from my Photobucket all that much. If the bandwith goes too high though, which I doubt, I may have to insist.

You may also use the header banner. =3

Shannon: I was thinking if I should get first or not. I decided it wasn't that important since I got first post on Kratty's bribe art thread on Gaia today.

I have some profiles, but I'm too lazy to go get them. So no profiles from me for right now. Maybe later if I stop being lazy. Which isn't likely.

I will eat you. And then spit you out and confiscate the crotch sack I gave you. And then most likely forget the reason why and give it back two minutes later.

Quote:

Name: Jade Balfour

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Half-demon (Was once human)

Appearance: Jade is about six foot, with longish, chestnut brown hair that is cut to just above his shoulders. His eyes are one of his more interesting features--they are brown, but with red flecks in them, and the pupils are somewhat slit-shaped. Not to a noticeable extent from a distance, but from up close...one can see it.

He is thin, in a very unhealthy looking way, but not in a way that makes him look emaciated. He just looks...weak and pale. Of course, appearances aren't everything in that case.

Atop his head are a pair of similarly chestnut colored ears, and he also has a bushy fox tail. To match that look, his incisors are slightly sharp, and he has sharper, more pointed nails than a human.

As far as attire, he tends to wear button up shirts and jeans, nothing extravagant. He wears worn out sneakers, and also has a red hooded cape that he uses when he wants to keep his ears hidden. Otherwise, it's a bandanna that he uses.

///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\

The Necromancer has a much more haggard appearance, his hair almost seeming to stand on end slightly. His eyes are completely red, with pupils that are prominently slit-shaped. His claws and fangs are much longer and deadly looking, and the fur on his ears and tail stand more on end.

Personality: Jade is typically silent or speaks very little when you first meet him. It gives one the idea that he is fearful of saying the wrong thing, but in all honesty, he's trying to learn about the person in question in his own way. He's smart in his own fashion, and he doesn't compare it to typical standards of intelligence.

Jade also exudes the aura of someone trapped within themselves, and he seems to distance himself from people out of a very real fear that something will go wrong, though what is anyone's interpretation.

Also...Jade's only 19. He's scared of the world, and his place in it, even if he tries to play it off.

///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\

The Necromancer is sharp tongued and dark-minded. He has no problem with causing pain to others, and in fact, seems to enjoy it. Any level of confrontation is his pleasure, and he is not discriminate between gender. He will have his fun torturing either sex, in whatever sick, twisted way he can think of, damned be the consequences to his host body.

Far from being stupid, the Necromancer is quite clever. However, he is also impulsive and impatient, which leads to mistakes. He also tends to pick fights he can't win, just for the sake of fighting.



Weapons: Jade can use a spear, which he seems to summon from nowhere. The truth of the matter is that he can control shadows to a limited extent, and hides the spear within a "pocket" in space, so to speak. When it seems to appear from nowhere, it's really just him clapping his hands together to distract a person, and when he pulls them apart, the spear is drawn from the hole by his powers.

///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\

In addition to his spear, the Necromancer also has the ability to use his sharp, lengthened claws to rip into flesh. His arms are incredibly strong and his nails hard and sharp. He's also got a bite to him, and he enjoys the taste of blood, so one would be ill-advised to draw too close.

Abilities: As stated before, Jade can control shadows enough to create pockets in space in which he can store items. The extent of this power is unknown thus far.

Jade also has strength that does not match his build, though in comparison to a demon or an angel, he's not all that strong at all. However, if excited, he has an interesting trait which aids him--his adrenaline levels kick up almost, it seems, at will, and augment his pathetic physical strength.

In addition to that little quirk, Jade can also control fire, and to a much greater extent than he can control shadows. He has a variety of attacks he can use fire for, and some of those include his spear.

///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\

The Necromancer is incredibly talented in using fire and shadows. Whereas Jade's lucky to be able to use shadows and fire together, his alter has made a fine art of it, creating the "Amaterasu" flame. It's a flame that burns without fail until its target is completely incinerated, he's knocked out, or some very powerful magic is used to counteract it. Light and water in high concentrations, or combined in a less high concentration are usually effective in dousing the flames. Usually.

The Necromancer is also deathly speedy, hard for the eye to follow even to a demon.

History: Jade was born in Divinous, to an abusive family. Rather than stick around for it, he ran when he was able, but it was far too late by the time he got away from it--he was permanently damaged, with the belief that he had no importance or place in the world. That had been instilled in him due to his parents' professing that he was a mistake, which to them, he was, somewhat, as he wasn't made intentionally.

He is, perhaps one of the strangest cases, Naraku has ever met. He met the boy on the cusp of death, a knife to his throat, and offered him something more than what he had--the power to pay his parents back for all the injustices they had made him suffer.

In his foolishness, Jade agreed to serve the Demon King, if only to obtain this power so that he might exact his revenge on the ones that had hurt him so terribly.

Because he was still living, Naraku could not make a demon of him. So instead, he infused a malevolent spirit within Jade's body, which manifested itself into a dissociated personality. This alter-ego has no name and so calls itself the Necromancer.

Over the years it has spent in Jade's body, it has begun to manifest itself as a foxish entity, and has begun to steadily sap his given strength. That is why he appears weak, and is even somewhat weak for a half-breed. In addition, his mentality and personality is constantly being eaten away at by the Necromancer. It's at the point now where he barely has a sense of self, and that sense of self is so uncertain in its identity that he has begun to exhibit distancing behavior.

Even though he is losing his sense of self, Jade is very aware that his days are growing shorter. He knows he's not long for this world. His greatest fear isn't death, however...it's what comes beyond it. He's scared of Hell, as well as the very real possibility that he may simply stop existing, since he feels it is his soul that is slowly being erased by the malevolence.

Other: Jade's malevolent nature is much more prevalent than his good nature, and even now, the two personalities are starting to blend, in a way. Really, it's just the dark personality holding sway over the other.



That's one of my newest profiles. Definitely an improvement from my old, shitty habits. XP I really like this one, because it's kind of like a new play on and old profile that never really got around.

Whatcha guys think?
