What was the very first RP you joined here in the "Corner/Theatre"? Find your very first SU and show us, if you can ;D

If you have been a GM, what was the very first RP you created? Regardless of if it took off or not, haha.

Funny. I've actually been Revamping my first SU to bring it into the modern age. even though no one but me will ever read it yay for being crazy

The first RP I was in was War Between Pokemon and Humans (hurray for rookie RP of the year!) in 2011 and even though my writing was completely awful and I didn't much understand the rules of RPing and how to properly interact and whatnot, it was still the best RP I've ever been in.

The amount of freedom given was perfect and even though my side lost EVERY SINGLE BATTLE it never felt one sided during play.

I also learned a lot about writing from people there. Unfortunately most of them have left us, leaving me one of the longest members here! If I didn't jump new accounts!


I'll go dig up my awful 2.5 paragraph SU and edit it in.

Spoiler:
Name: Mark Vargas

Age: 25

weapon : Barret M-82 50. Cal "Big Daddy" Heavy sniper rifle, silenced SMG, Hand cannon (heavy pistol, like a desert eagle)

Apperance : Mark is about 6'0 and has a light tan. Mark takes pride in his hair, short wavy brown hair. His face is an oval shape with a short nose and a rounded chin. Mark's clothing choices change when he is on or off the field. In a combat zone, mark wears urban camo Dragon Skin armor. At "Base" He often wears casual clothing, a black and grey striped hoodie with blue jeans. Mark has a now light scar on his cheek.

Personality: Always putting others before yourself is one of the things mark does best. Unfortunately this can't always be done. He is not big into any kind of torture, weather done to humans or pokemon. He is very kind to friends, VERY hostile to enemies. Boasting extremely annoys mark. A very proud person and will ALWAYS do what HAS to be done to restore peace to the lands. Mark is not a early morning person what so ever. Determined and ELITE, a very good support or assault unit to have. Mark doesn't hold a grudge to the pokemon

History:
Lived in Oreburgh City as a child. When he was 14 he became a lone wanderer and traveled to many spots in the sinnoh region. Mark never caught a pokemon, but he had watched many. Mark was in the middle of it when it happened in Canalave City. he got a nasty gash across his face, but escaped with his life. He never blamed anyone for this, as being a loner, and not seeing what trainers did to their pokemon, he fought his way to Sunnyshore city. Now settled down in a appartment. mark keeps a M-82 Barret 50. caliber sniper tripoded on a display, for when needed.

My very first RP is actually still running. Gunpowder is an awesome old western RP, and I've enjoyed every moment of it. It just seems to work so well. All of the current cast seem to have a blast and the skype chat is always buzzing with life. Without it, I dont think I wouldve ever enjoyed the RPing experience as much as I do now.
As for the first RP I ever GMed...I have less fond memories. Sigma Ultra was a Sci-Fi RP set in a world that is split into a dystopia and a Utopia. I was super hyped for it, but it only got 2 SUs and died before it even got off the ground.

The first RP I tried to join was Mysters Dungeon: The Rage of Legendaries, an old thing from way back in 2011. The character was "Mudkip", apparently nameless. The RP never actually got started.

The first RP I was actually a part of was Pokemon: The Tournament to Beat All Others, with the character Agro Merikh. As a bonus, here's his first post, AKA my first IC post on this site. I had a lot of fun with this one, what with being one of the bad guys and all. Don't know what happened, but it suddenly died. Or maybe I do know but just don't remember. Oh well.

I've never created my own RP. The first RP I ever GMed was The Legend of Zelda: The Imprisoning War. The original GM left PC, and trusted me to carry his creation forward. I... kinda drove it into the ground. It was obvious I had no idea what I was doing.
I'll put something cool here eventually.

My was first SU was, is it was for many people on here, for The da Pokemon Academy. Terrible character, even terrible-er Pokemon, literally no personality, basically the "do not" list when I am making a character for anything. Even the SU writing itself was terrible. But hey, at least the RP's still going, making him literally the oldest living character I have.

As for GMing, I've never GMed a RP, mostly because I rarely get ideas for settings and I know I'm not nearly responsible enough for the job.

Wow, Varys I apparently lied when I said I found my first SU on an alternate account. Turns out it really was under the name of Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers I started RPing, after all! And in the RP I've always said it was too, even though I haven't quite been sure that I was remembering correctly. June 8th, 2010!

But here it is, my (probably) very first SU in the Roleplay Corner, from A new professor in town - Kanto adventure although we had moved to Hoenn already when I signed up, haha.

I told you you're flawless since day 1! I evolved a lot from my very first post. And I mean a lot. Even I wouldn't accept myself in any RP back then.

My first RP here was a short-lived little game called "The Elemental Stones". You can definitely see my fingerprint on the SU, but it's exceedingly rudimentary compared to my work today.

I've never GM'd here. I was a GM once, back in "07 or '08, on another forum, and I didn't enjoy it. But I'm sure that's the next thing you guys will try to coerce me into doing. XD

... i'm legitimately shocked. the very first time i RP'ed on PC was before all of you (except Varys, by just a few days). behold my beautiful first SU from 2009, and the first post to go with it... notice how i thought with this little, i'd already thought i'd gone 'overboard' on the history, haha. of course after that i took several long hiatuses, so i don't exactly count as a veteran or anything, but still.

as for my first RP... i thought the concept was pretty good, but i think it required too much coordinating, and i was kind of overwhelmed right from the start! i think i tried to put way too many rules with regard to levels and difficulty and dungeons and teams, too... but i might retry it sometime, and make it a lot more simple.

My first SU, in Darker than it seems. Which I'm actually making a sequel rp to "soon." I really miss him. Is that weird?

http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=8871479&postcount=227

It wasn't that long ago, but I've really changed since then. Hopefully for the better XD

And my first rp that I GMed was Hidden Village, which I also plan on making a return once I actually flesh out the world lore and decide on if it will be story or sandbox based. But I feel like I've improved as a GM since then. Mostly on the understanding that I can't control everything everyone does part :P

Let;s just say it's quite clear that this is my first SU. Little to no detail, some slight laziness in descriptions, made me laugh at how much different it was than my subsequent SUs following it. I like to think my SUs are better now that I've done a few more, but safe to say it is a trip down memory lane looking back at this. Makes me cringe a bit haha especially the some of the grammar and spelling errors

Spoiler:
Alright first ever RP, Should be fun!

Name: Jenna Bumo
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Ultimate Fighting Trainer

Appearance: Hair is up in ponytail though (picture no longer here)


Personality: Jenna has a very feisty personality. Not afraid to pick a fight and back it up. She can be very standoff-ish until you have gained her respect which takes some serious time unless you are an expert battler like her. Treats her pokemon in the same manner, they don't even see the light of a battle until she feels that they deserve it. Shows no mercy on the battlefield or in life. (1-2 paragraphs)

History: Jenna grew up in the city of Oreburgh in Sinnoh. Growing up she idiolized Korrina over in Kalos. Her and her Lucario were just amazing in her eyes and inspired her to be a Fighting type master just like Korrina. When she was 13 she set out on the journey to be the best Fightin Type Trainer. Along the way she met her starter pokemon Mankey (Now a Primeape). She traveled all over Sinnoh, Kanto, and Kalos, Searching for the best Fighting type Pokemon so that she could challenge Korrina herself. In the process she entered the Sinnoh and Kanto leagues, finishing in the Top 16 at each.

After Finishing at the Kanto League, Jenna felt she was ready to take on Korrina and her Mega-Lucario. She traveled to Kalos and Korrina's gym and proceeded to get wiped out, all 6 of her pokemon fainted without even defeating one her's. More feisty than ever, she predicted that she would defeat Korrina if it was the last thing she'd do and ran out. 2 months later she saw the notice for he academy and applied and amazingly she got in. She feels well-prepared and can't wait to get started and begin her training to defeat Korrina. (2+ Paragraphs)

Pokemon Team: Primeape (starter)
Infernape (closest friend)
Poliwrath (recieved from Gym Leader Chuck in trade for her old Heracross)
Gallade (befriended after seeing it hold off 2 Houndooms, an Ursaring and a Bronzong)


Other: Cannot swim, fear of water, Carries Mace and a pocket knife (you know, just in case )
Yes.

Wow, after actually looking back and finding my first post I realized its been 5 years since then! Not 5 years of continuous roleplaying unfortunately, but still, feels like a long time ago. Also, no judging. I look at this now and I am disgusted by it!

Spoiler:
Name: Silver
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: An Absol with a ropey scar running down one side of his face, and wears a Grachomp tooth around his neck
Personality: Doesn't talk much, and is often not trusted because he is a bit mysterious, but is very loyal and will never forget any debts that are to be paid. He also does not trust others very well because of his rough childhood.
Bio: Grew up in a home with an abusive father and no mother, and ran away when he was seven. Learned how to survive on the streets, but he often got in fights and has many scars to show of it. When he was eleven he fought a Garchomp who he killed, and then pulled a tooth from its mouth, which he now wears around. Ever since he has been a rougue, roaming around in the forrests and mountains.
Species: Absol
Move Set: Swords Daqnce, Night Slash, Psyco Cut, and Fire Blast


That was for the original Pokemon Odyssey, under a different account as well. Complete with misspellings, little to no description, etc. Never should have been accepted! :D


As for the first roleplay I GMed, I can't even remember what it was. Years back I know. Got about a dozen posts into it and realized I was way over my head, so it got killed pretty quickly. Never really GMed an RP that lasted for a long time, current one most of the people dropped out of, but still trucking along, so a moderate success.


At first I didn't even want to see what I used to be like, but now that I actually went back its nice to see how far I've come in terms of roleplaying and my own writing style.

This is gonna be the last time I look back at my failures as a human being.

MY FIRST SU! I'm not even going to read this I was such an idiot then. He was 13, I was 13. This was not cute at all.

Rise of Evil and Good by Royal was my first ever RP on here.

Rise of Evil and Good

The fact that this was in first person is all you need to know it was bad. I did some stupid stuff in this RP. I think my biggest embarrassment is in this RP to this day. Why hasn't it been deleted for age yet? X)

I think I might have saved myself a bit because this wasn't my first RP ever I don't think. I was on another site where people taught me how to write at length, but I remember my first post was like a sentence long.

I was going to link to a post after my hiatus to show if I improved while being gone at all, but the next RP I joined bunnied me into quitting and I resent that so much that I refuse to link to it. XD

carried away at your history. LOL.

It's fun how all of us evolved from "useless RPers who should have never been accepted" to "GM-ing the most awesome RP ever."

I think this begs the question: which among the RPers here have been in the corner for the longest time?

I actually first joined the RPC when I first joined PC

My first RP was PTA like many others here and oh god my writing was so god damn terrible... I go back every once in a while to remind myself of where I started
how happy is the blameless vessel's lot
the world forgetting by the world forgot
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
each prayer accepted and each wish resigned
