Kudos for Penumbra

From the Greek word meaning "glory," a kudos is acclaim for exceptional achievement or qualities.

On the RP repository, receiving a kudos means that another community member recommends you as someone other people might like to get to know. Perhaps because you are exceptionally fun to RP with, exceptionally fun to know, or are just plain exceptional!

  • Can I check all the 'best quality' boxes? Penumbra is one of the nicest, most creative people I've ever met, OOCly and ICly. OOCly they're a joy to hang out with and talk to, are empathetic and understanding, and have a great sense of humor. ICly, their wide variety of characters is stunning- and the way they weave plots is insanely detailed and thought-provoking. They thread those plots for literally years! Jump at the chance to RP with and talk to them; you won't regret it! Kind and understanding Creative ideas - 68_dare

  • Pen is the kind of writer you want to aspire to be. Brilliant character designer, amazing world builder, fantastic artist. I am forever in awe of them, and am beyond glad to have them as an rp partner. More than that, they are kind hearted, an amazing listener, and offer wonderful advice. Thank you for all that you do. Kind and understanding Wonderful writer - Jenn

  • When Pen's profile warns not to misinterpret their silence, please heed it. They claim their short replies come across as too direct or brief, but believe me when I say that under that misconception is a powerhouse of a person. Pen never minds my rambling on about plot, life, the universe, everything. They're a listening ear, open shoulder, keen eye, and an ultimately selfless soul. I am deeply grateful for the years of story and fellowship we've shared and look forward to many more. Kind and understanding Long-term partner - Libertine

  • While I've given kudos before, I thought I would again. I've actually stopped role-playing and do not come on here often. But it should be said that there are few writers with such imagination and skill in the execution of a character that it still makes you think on their characters long after you've stopped playing. The characters are perfection. Mysterious, horrifying, lovable. And the player is kind hearted, forgiving, funny. I'm lucky to have spent my RP days with them, and you'd be too. - Paich

  • There's so much to say about Pen that it's hard for me to boil it down. They are an amazing artist and writer with an imagination that truly will astonish you. It's like being in a movie when you RP with any of their characters. But their focus is on having fun - and so they incorporate you and everyone else into the RP in so many ways. They keep you on your feet with plots, always guessing, and always leaving a trail of mystery to follow. - jamerson

  • Probably the longest, consistent friend I've had on RPR and over-all Roleplay partner. I have adored them since I met them several years ago (DAMN doesn't seem that long ago!).
    They are a wonderful person and a damn good story-teller. Their characters are also incredibly unique and always worth just knowing about.
    You'd be crazy not to give them a shot. - Vicious

  • Pen has been an absolute treasure. A wonderfully sweet person, they're a terrific writer, create fantastic characters and utterly mind blowing stories that I can't get enough of. The way they can weave multiple characters into a plot, always give them a way to shine, always keep other players on their toes and guessing what comes next, is masterful. Kind, conscientious, warm hearted, Pen is everything you want from a person and a writing partner. I can't wait to collaborate with them more! - Jenn

  • God, time flies. I have known Penumbra since 2002, which is amazing to me. I cannot express properly how much it means to have a friend who has been that constant in my life. They have always been an amazing roleplayer, crafting intricate stories and making great characters that challenge you, but they've grown so much as a writer. They've also grown so much as an artist too and with every new piece, I think they get better and better. I adore them, and they are among my closest friends. - Djinn-n-Tonic

  • What I failed to mention before was one of Pen's greatest traits: reliability. They do not ghost or half-heart anything. They stick to what they start, see it through, commit to continuity and communication. They're dedicated, and I value them endlessly for it. Their dependability has kept me motivated through so much, improving my RP experience, and they've been an even more reliable friend. There are so many plots I couldn't have completed without Pen! - Libertine

  • Another person I wished I had a chance to RP with more, but I can appreciate her art and knack for world building. The times I have RP'd with her she brings a certain gravitas to the scenes that is always appreciated. Her attention to detail in her character designs make them feel more alive and unique, I would recommend RP with her if you have the chance! - Carrera-Viper

  • Pen is very sweet and while I don't know them as well as I'd like to, I certainly still have plenty to say about them. I met them a while back and commissioned them not long after for a tarot-styled art piece and I've watched them grow exponentially after that as an artist. They are a grand rper and a very sweet person. 10/10 do recommend. - Healthbar

  • Years ago, I'd come after Pen for an Arron tarot-esque commission and it's a piece I still treasure to this day - and they've only gotten better and more refined at their art, since then! And in-game, they've got a good head for building figurative mystery boxes in their plots, as well as running quest and boss-type RPs - and it's always worth spending an evening or so stumbling into a situation in which Penumbra's a DM! - Rigby

  • Penumbra designed two of my fullbody avatar images in a very short time, and somehow guessed exactly what I wanted! I was absolutely thrilled with their work and highly recommend them! - DorianM

  • Pen is a GEM. Theirs is a brilliant multifaceted imagination that can scatter in any and all directions. Each of their creations are distinct and diverse, with personalities and worlds capable of providing priceless plots, organically developing other OCs around them. They pour passion, uniqueness, and a dash of realism into their realms and characters in a one-of-a-kind way. No drama, no conflation, just amazing stories (and ART). They are a prime writer with a sharp mind and good heart. - Libertine

  • Words alone can do no justice to describing how wonderful Penumbra is as a friend an RPer and an artist. They are sweet and easy to talk to ooc, their characters are very unique and fascinating ,and of course their beautiful artwork holds an almost dreamlike quality. - XenoZilla

  • This has been a long time coming, but it's because it's hard to fit all the compliments this person deserves in 500 letters! In barest essence, they were born to write, their imagination is boundless, and their storytelling skills hark back to the ideal art of story itself. Tension, love, fear, laughter, sadness.. Basically every emotion you possess, Slipcast can easily rip out of you with their skillful writing. I'm not even mentioning how thoughtful, patient, + kind they are OOC! - Hachirou

  • Let me begin by saying Slipcast is a sweetie. I love her company as much as I enjoy our rp, and that's no small amount. Her characters have so much depth to them, and delving further into their story is like flipping through the pages of a good book- and, she introduced me to what is now my favorite series! I have so many reasons to be grateful for meeting her, and I hope to continue to get to know her both in character and out! - Catastrophie

  • Slipcast! She's so much fun to RP with and plays such wildly creative characters. She's not afraid to try something new or to delve into any plot no matter how serious or lighthearted. Aside from being an amazing RP'er she's an all around sweetheart OOC and always brings cheer to whatever group she's in. - Sol

  • I've known Slipcast for only a few years now. They've had me smitten from the moment I met them. They are a wonderful person and hyper creative. I adore each and every story we build together. - Keys

  • I have known Slipcast since 2002, when I joined her to rp. We've been talking pretty much every day since then. She is my best friend and truly is such a sweet person. I never thought I would be where I am now, able to hang out with them so much and spend time with them. I am thankful for it and for having met them. Their characters are always well thought out as are the stories that go with them and they never bring unneeded or unwanted drama to the table. - Djinn-n-Tonic
