Hello. :) I found out this site existed yesterday from a conversation in a TTRPG discord and really wanted a place to do some FFRP. I used to do it a lot back in the days when forums and IRC were the bulk of online communication, but it's been a while since those days, and many discord servers which have RP channels tend to not always be the most organized.

I'm not a stickler for rules or continuity, but I do like some setting details and for a general theme to be present.

I'm more of a "fantasy" person than a sci-fi one, but I'm not a big fan of the generic Tolkien-style fantasy. I don't know if there are genres which describe the kind of fantasy I do like, but it's closer to what you would see in One Piece, or games like Rune Factory, Dark Cloud, or Solatorobo.

I'll probably stay near the PG-13 spaces. Others are welcome to their fun, but I don't feel the need to indulge in graphic adult material on a public forum. I'm also too squeamish to handle graphic violence. Anything above a PG-13 rating is too much for me. I don't mind darker themes, so long as they aren't crossing those lines, and so long as most scenes aren't predominantly grimdark.

Most of my characters will probably be younger. I generally prefer to play kids when allowed. I would otherwise play animals (fantasy creatures or otherwise) if that is not an option. I also like to sometimes play 'token edgelords' (characters with troubled pasts who have a lot of trust issues to work through, and sometimes aren't the most considerate people in the world) but it's something I prefer doing if I know at least one person in a group since such roles do come with some baggage that may require some pre-existing trust to not cause issues.

I don't really like to be the 'leader' role. I prefer being support characters, and in fiction, generally identify with the sidekicks or support characters more than heroes or main protagonists. Even if playing more edgy characters, I prefer being a lancer to the group's leader, as opposed to taking that role for myself.

I'm also unsure how to really 'get started' here. I'm used to making a character after joining a group, but is it the other way around here?

I don't know how to end posts like this. AMA?

Hello and welcome to a wonderful community in which you will find many friends and create wonderful stories. If you want a new rp partner hit me, I always am open to new challenges❀
Hello and Welcome,
Hope you have fun and enjoy.
Hi there, and welcome to RPR! I hope you'll have a good time here. I wanna say, I really like your avatar and your name! May I ask how you can up with/came across your username? It sounds so cool! :)
Also your introduction is perfectly fine. It covers all the bases, as far as I can tell! :D I like to play children or childish characters, myself. They're often underestimated, like halflings and disabled characters and cute female characters... :) which means you can bam! Wham! Sneak attack right in there dramatically...hehe. Just kidding. :) :D :P

Anyway, I'm not into furry RPs so much, although I've done a few non-human character games and situations. I like My Hero Academia or X-Men or HunterXHunter types of characters and settings quite a bit, myself, but I'm pretty much into Tolkien style stuff or Medieval stuff, for the most part. Sci-Fi is also great.

So, thanks for introducing yourself, maybe I'll see you around, and you should try to look at the site a little and get your bearings all set up if you can! In the meantime, there are plenty of RPs waiting. The Summer Soiree event is going on for over a week, still, too! So have fun, stay creative, and have a good one, okay?! :D :) :3 Byebye! I think you'll fit right in. -Shinyrainbowlithogra :) :) :) :) :) ;D :3 ;) :D :P :) :) :) :) :) :D :3 :O ;D :) :) :) :) :) :) 🌺 🌻 <3 🌷 <3 🌹 <3 🌻 <3 🌡 <3 🍍 <3 🌈 <3 🏡️ <3 🌼 <3 🌸 <3 ❇️ πŸ’

Ha, yeah, I feel like playing younger characters is a good way to 'boost' other characters' morale in groups, since you can make other people feel impressive by playing the inexperienced party member who wants to learn from everyone. I think I might also like to try an MHA game someday, if I ever catch up with the anime again...

My username is actually just the Dutch word for Strawberry. The username I normally use was taken and I didn't want to use my "work username", I like to put space between things online. As for why I'm using this name at all... I really like the game Celeste. I drew my avatar a long time ago as a still-life practice. I guess it's aged well enough. :)
Edit: I should probably also add that Ik spreek geen Nederlands but I am learning.
Hey Aardbei, welcome to RPR!

I hope you have a wonderful time here!

Also to answer your question: When you want to apply to join groups, you need to make a character first if you are to apply as them. You can also simply join as yourself, but you'll have to get a single application granted for every character you apply, and even as yourself.
Hello and welcome to the RPR Family! :D
