The Characters We're Playing

The Characters We're Playing

0 INK

The world is full of strange and wonderful people and many don't know what they want to do in life if anything at all. We wonder about life, but we all have trouble actually doing life. This RP is going to be really fucking strange watch out...

725 readers have visited The Characters We're Playing since Addrinvan created it.

Introduction

A little about me/The "the character I'm playing."
Image
My name is Matthew Allan Clay and I am just about to finish my first year of high school. I have respectable grades A's, B's, and C's. My best subject is History and I'm a bit of a loner. I have a few friends, my best being David Smith, but really we're not that close either. Mostly I read, play video games, and watch T.V. Like most kids that are 15 I don't really know what I want to do with my life, but I like writing so maybe that or maybe something else. Life has always seemed daunting to me, but more boring than anything else. Even If I became president I would at best get 8 years to change a country that would take a 100 to even start changing. And what little I did change the next gal or guy would just sweep it under the rug like it was nothing. Depressing I know. But, maybe we can change the world. I still have another 80-120 years left so maybe I can change the world for good in even a small way.

The Roleplay
The point of this roleplay is to play ourselves, maybe a slightly idealized version of our selves, but us never the less. I've noticed that in all these roleplays we pick models and actors to play more or less idealized versions of our selves, but why can't we be idealized versions of our selves within our own bodies. I want to create a small world were people can be themselves, but as they see themselves in a dream. Not slaying monsters, but just being a little more out spoken or a little more honest. That picture up there is of me, but you don't have to put up one if you don't want to. But, describe yourselves honestly if you don't want to put up a picture.

This is an RP though, we are going to be students that go to a school called Landmark High school. And we are all going to be in some classes with each other. In your character sheet, tell me your favorite extra curricular subjects (3 of em) and what grade you are in then i'll mix and match people so that we all have a few classes with everyone. Oh, and if you are an older person you can play a teacher or something along those lines, just tell me your subject. This RP will be in first person, I know this can be confusing, but I feel it defeats the purpose if we use the normal third person, this RP is already weird as shit may as well make it weirder.

You can make your Character Sheet anyway you want. But, You do have to write something, and try to make it okay to read through. Preferably better than mine (I'm a shitty writer.) Maybe, go through your early childhood, or give a specific story from your life. I don't really care, just do something.

Rules sorta
*Have good Grammar when it isn't you talking, I don't care how your character talks, but when saying what you're doing do it with good grammar.
*Posts can be any length, but I like long posts.
*Be cool with each other in ooc.
*Don't just drop out, tell me first so I can have you die in a school shooting or something.
*I wont be an overbearing GM, but if I think you are doing something completely ridiculous. I'll say so and ask the other roleplayers if they agree, which they may not.
*This RP doesn't have to be that serious, the best kind of comedy is self degradation anyways.
*Most of all have fun, pretty please.
*My glasses are always crooked and it annoys me.

I don't know how many people i'll take in this rp, but not that many as I prefer close relationships to the other rpers rather than having a million rpers and having to check what everyone's user name is every couple of seconds. Though I don't even know if I'll get a single application for this.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Addrinvan-
SOME ONE TRIED TO TURN THIS IN AS THEIR CHARACTER SHEET AND THEY USED A MODEL AS THEIR PICTURE. I thought it was a funny read.

Well... here goes.
For extra curic I think I'll do shop, um.... um..... heh heh.... for the other two surprise me?
I'm in grade 11 (was born before June, the month my school year ends in)
I am several people, each with their own personality. I have a mental disorder called Dissociative Identity Disorder, AKA DID (Or MPD/Multiple Personality Disorder). I have 4 personalities that I currently know of:

Maeve, she seems to be an irish girl around the age of twelve who loves to draw.

Claire is twenty-three and is exceedingly good at the french horn.

James is my only male personality. I don't know how old he is but he seems to like the woods. No kidding, last year I "woke up" at a bonfire IN CARDIFF. I had missed school for three weeks and was wearing a backpack full of survival gear.

Lucy Clishay
This is my normal personality, what I grew up with. She loves to write. She (I) am 17 and share a flat with Jenny Beckerman, Elyse Fernmeld and Krystal Denningwood. I have a slightly bland humor and sometimes joke about DID and some depressing subjects. LULZZZZ. Jenny and Krystal both have accounts on roleplaygateway and I may be able to convince them to join this roleplay! Anyway, all my personalities are pretty calm but can go a little cuckoo at times.

If you figure out anything about one of my personalities while I'm on here please PM Blatantly_Barmy or arrowinmahknee but if it's something more private then just PM me.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

We'll give love till Sunday to submit and then we will start.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

I had a lot of trouble with mine too. It's not that I hated all the pics I just hated the lighting. Anyway great CS I really feel like it gave us you.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Finally got me cs in. I had a hard time looking for a pic that either just had me in it/didn't have me making some weird face/didn't have me wearing a batman mask. :P that was the least weirdest pic I could find. I hope it's alright.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Yup, I love John Green with a passion.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

I love the Augustus quote. John Greene is my favorite author.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Okay so my character sheet is up. Try and make it sorta like that, but way better.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Wow...it must be fate I clicked on this then haha ^-^

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Wow Rage your picture is what I was going to call this rp before I thought up what is there.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

I'm so gonna join this. It's a challenge for anyone sometimes to play a character they created, it's harder to play yourself. (Ooohh I just came up with that! I am on a role! ^-^ see what I did there? haha) anyways...yeah imma do this. :)

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Wow I'm already amazed at how many people joined in on this. And Thadine I completely understand why you are hesitating. It is hard to be ourselves with even the closest of friends and family. Strangers could be very hard indeed, but I'm glad you are thinking about it.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

This is definitely an interesting concept.
I'm...I'm considering it.
I might just observe other people for a moment before making my final decision.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

I really like the originality behind this RP. It's not only endearing, but it gives people a chance to stop hiding behind the mask of a fictional being. I just wanted to say that I like what you're doing here, and I hope more people will be willing to join. Long story short, you can definitely count me in.

Re: The Characters We're Playing

Hmm actually sounds incredibly interesting. I would really enjoy this roleplay and I think I shall submit a character.

I'll use my first name for the character but definitely not my last name.
