So, basically, we all decided to create a lil' slice-of-life RP that would serve as sort of a secondary roleplay to whatever is going on, like a fallback roleplay. It's based in a bookstore, and is kind of the in-Universe extension of the name of the RP group, Compass Books.

Chill, "I'm bored and I want to write" style, long-term, low-intensity, group RP.

EDIT: Do I have to have an anime pic?

My character, having a personality roughly like my own, will probably do a good bit of leaning on the fourth wall.

I went through a serious phase of believing I was fictional back when I was six or seven. Still do the occasional musing on it.

If I'm fictional, my writers are like me.

'Cause they seem to like messing with me, and I like messing with my characters.

yes, life is so dull. I have long stopped those debates, though they are an intriguing quandary.

Y'know who thought of those same questions? Descartes, and he "[thought], therefore [he was]." He actually began his musings along those same ideas. Imagine a devil were to come in (your conflicted thoughts) and tried to convince you that you did not exist. The very fact that somebody is trying to convince you of your lack of existence, means that they are trying to make you think of some other state. Your current state is existence, which is being contested. If you did not exist, why would you need to have such musings. So, I think, therefore I am.

Alright, looks like I have some searching to do...

Side note: Cerr is bringing back Sempiternal, albeit under a new name. Is the Grand Gambit making a return?

It's discussions like this that makes me miss my philosophy course. On a good day it actually was a lot of fun.

two questions: is my second character a-ok? Is it alright if I post with only one of my characters?

Observation: I believe the app form may have been removed from the opening post.

Name: Dagon Argrave
Appearance: Like this, but constantly wearing a red hoodie, black pants, and black shoes.
Image
Gender | Sex: Male | Male
Age: 18
Personality:Super talkative, almost as if silence can hurt him. If he can't talk to others, he will talk to himself. He is loyal to his friends, and is willing to make them easily, but can find it hard to those close enough to share his own thoughts. Is a big fan of reading, specifically sci-fi, fantasy, and comics.

Brief Biography: Dagon Argrave isn't from this dimension, and as such his backstory is a bit more colorful than others. Created in a test tube by the Archangel program, he was genetically altered to be peak human in both physical and mental capabilities. He was also given a healing factor, which worked so well they had to give him a techno-arcane suit that fed off his life force. He was then sent on various black ops missions, as well as used as a guinea pig by their scientists thanks to his healing factor. During one of these experiments, his psyche was connected to the fourth wall, allowing him to break free from their control. He destroyed the facility and left, freeing his fellow test subjects.

Dagon, free of his tormentors, joined Badass Academy in hopes to help humanity with his gifts instead of hurt it. He became a powerful force for good, leading students on several missions to retake Earth as well as strike back against the monsters which had invaded. During a scheduled break from the fighting, Dagon was drawn to portal room, filled with a curiosity about how it works. Unfortunately, while he was fiddling with something he shouldn't have, he accidentally activated the portal, sending himself to an alternate dimension. Having already taken trips to the monster realm several times, he hadn't been worried, expecting to be stranded somewhere near a Sentinel forward base. However, he instead found himself in the closet of a bookstore.

Upon arriving, he noticed several things, chief among them being that he no longer had access to his advanced armor, weapons, or abilities. It was as if some force was preventing him from using any of his powers. All he found was that whenever he activated his suit, now a simple white and black watch, the surface would display FIND HER in blinking red letters. Having no idea what that meant, Dagon has accepted being stranded in a bookstore, and has since tried reading through their extensive collection to try to find her.

'FIND HER'... that sounds oddly familiar.


I propose Mayonaka Rondo as 'her'. Which is to say, I ship them already.

It's more of a story thread, there to give Dagon a goal. I have no idea who "her" is going to be yet.
