Isoprene's Bulletins
Hope everyone's working hard on all of their NaNoWriMo-related challenges!! This month is looking pretty busy for me between two projects within a week and the new Pokemon game coming out on the 18th... I'll have to just work on profiles while in class until I beat the main game and can pry myself away from it... it's gonna be rough. At least Thanksgiving break is this month, though, so if I'm super behind by then that should give me the opportunity to catch up!
Here's a little glimpse into my magical world of planning... it's pretty colorful. And haphazard. Mostly haphazard: https://i.gyazo.com/a54202e46c1bab5758705101c58957f1.png
Things are probably gonna get shuffled around; I might pick a predicted-to-be-short profile instead, bonus days might get moved up or down or all around, some days I might do more than 2 OCs... who knows!!! And I still gotta name 4 of them... I should do that tonight huh
Anyway, today I completed two profiles: Aesie and Hiemalis! Check 'em out!! And all of their links... so many links...
Both Aesie and Hiemalis were designed by and adopted from Zone!
what's up my pals i just made my FIRST adopts so check 'em out!!
You can claim them here in my shiny new adopt thread: http://toyhou.se/~forums/thread/22852.iso-s-adopt-shop/1
Or here on dA!: http://fav.me/damwswd
Please don't claim them on this bulletin!! If I ever do auctions or something in the future then I'll do bulletin stuff but I'm still kinda figuring stuff out at the moment... now even sure what I should be doing for prices or if I'm getting PayPal payments the right way but we'll get there!!
Howdy folks, I made a thread for NaNoWriMo!: http://toyhou.se/~forums/thread/22490.nanowrimo-2016-an-alternate-challenge-naprowrimo-/1
I also suggested a challenge for people who dig OCs but not writing a novel: National Profile Writing Month! Essentially, instead of writing a novel you aim to complete x number of character profiles throughout the month!
There are more details about both in that thread, so check it out!

yo check out this thread... if you've got resells hit me up i promise i'll take good care of 'em... i love ocs so much ;__;
check out this sick dragon snake fish bird thing: http://toyhou.se/603604.iskal
it's pretty cool and rad (and now complete)
though i might adjust the colors bc they're kinda weird... graphic design is my passion
Like a few months ago I'm feeling antsy about not having my adopts uploaded here to prove I own them but I've just been too lazy busy to make profiles for everyone and I'm still working out some setting stuff for a few... so, like before, I'm just going to slap "zz"s in front of their names and give them placeholder bios! I feel like it'll make them easier to work on in bursts, anyway. Unlike before, though, I won't be uploading their images and instead only their avatars; that way you'll know when they're finished because I'll upload their image(s)!
PLEASE DON'T FAVORITE ANY OF MY OCS THAT HAVE A "ZZ" IN FRONT OF THEIR NAME!! I'm super uncomfortable with people faving my characters before my profiles are done, especially with respects to adopts... it feels really weird to have people favoriting a character of mine because of a design/art that I didn't even make rather than what I did to make that design my character... obviously it's not like I can control why people favorite my characters but at least if I finish their profile before showing them off I can at least have the illusion that people read at least a little bit of their profile!
If you do or if you have favorited said characters in the past don't worry about it (esp in the latter case when I never had this notification)!! I'd just prefer that people avoid favoriting my characters until they're Complete. There'll be a notice posted at the top of each profile, though, so it'll be hard to miss!
please brain give me the power to write out all of these personalities and backstories that i already know but can't bring myself to type for some reason
no one tagged me but i can't resist the hottest meme on the block, mostly bc i've seen very few people who match up with my preferences so here's an effort to find people who like forum rps and group stuff!!
(lots of options there huh... also I'm fine with chats (aka chatango or tumblr messaging or twitter dms bc that's all I got) and PMs for talking about headcanons or just chatting but otherwise I'm not comfortable using chat programs for RP. mayyyybe PMs or notes but idk)
(The more, the merrier! I LOVE group RPs with all of my being and almost all of the RP threads I make are open to infinite members!!)
(My post length really depends a lot on the context... sometimes all you can really do is be like "And then my OC followed along. Yeah." but sometimes for intros or exposition or emotional moments I might write like an essay. Depends on how serious, comedic, plotty, casual, etc. the thread is.)
(I'm pretty relaxed about OC shipping!! But it depends on the other person... I won't usually ship my OCs with a total stranger or someone I've never RPed with; we don't have to RP those two characters together first or anything like that it's just kind of an "ah you've reached this friendship level with me... donut time" but again it depends.)
(See above! Might vary here and there, I dunno!)
(Just like in real life!)
(If you plan on getting a commission, I'd prefer to be asked beforehand! Mostly just because I've got an artist I'd rather avoid and I'd rather not have any art of my OCs by them... though idk that they're someone people go to for couple art but ANYWAY)
(idc either way really but if it's totally out of left field that might be kind of weird??)
- I only do novel/paragraph-style RPing! I don't mind other people using chat/script RPing as long as I don't have to also... I'm not really used to it anymore.
- Pretty much all of my OCs are polyamorous and are already in relationships with other OCs of mine and/or with my friends' OCs, so if you're not okay with any given OC of mine being in multiple relationships then don't ship with me!! Even if they aren't in an established relationship before meeting your OC I can't (and wouldn't be willing to) promise that I'd never get them involved in any other relationships.
- Please don't RP with me with any OCs that you might trade away or sell!
- I often RP with more than one character at once and am totally cool with others doing the same! It helps people bounce off of each other. I don't have any problems with just playing one character either, though. Not really used to RPing outside of casual multiverse RP settings where you just post a setting and then you run around with people doing whatever So idk how anything works honestly?? I never really realized how uncommon the kind of RPing I've been doing for the past 10 years is...
- I'm cool with OCs, FCs, and canon characters! I only use OCs and rarely a fan-character myself these days, but I love interacting and RPing with characters from all sorts of universes!
Here are some recent examples of my RPing in no particular order:
- i'm sorry papes (edit: oh my god theres a typo in this why)
- an intro
- i had to shrink the text and cut off the avatars and the giant :3 at the bottom
- an intro into someone else's thread
- nothing more seductive than threatening someone
- a sample of how sometimes my toasts can get pretty long
- an example of how sometimes my toasts can get pretty long, involve several characters, and take place in different sections of an area to respond to different users in the thread. props if u can read this
- in an afterlife arcade
- another intro into someone else's thread... why'd i make indico's text color so light
- writing as Her is such a pleasure
- just a toast
- another intro
- no context provided
- high quality
- a shorter post
...why did i link so many
I've been slowly revamping profiles (usually based on who has the nearest birthdays...), but for the most part many of them haven't had significant enough updates for me to feel the need to make a bulletin about them. I've just finished Istra's profile, though, which required me to completely rewrite everything (minus the links which are all still accurate) since they've changed so much! Their personality has developed a lot and now they actually have a backstory, so give it a read! Or else they'll, like, eat your remote or something.
Other characters whose profiles have been re-completed (with notes about any changes that have been made):
- http://toyhou.se/274009.lausac-pardes < Stats, RP History, and Writing Featured In! Personality rewritten a bit.
- http://toyhou.se/270430.septicemia < Stats, RP History, and Writing Featured In!
- http://toyhou.se/202799.thyx < Stats & RP History! Such beautiful RP history... also, his profile was pretty much completely rewritten! Metal!
- http://toyhou.se/389531.venith-tobette < Stats and Writing Featured In!
- http://toyhou.se/290965.yenzhal < Stats!
I've unfavorited all of my OCs and will re-favorite anyone whose profile has been updated with the new layout, so any featured characters on my page should be complete!
Decided I wanted to mess around with CSS a bit, so I've got a new character profile layout I'll be using! It's not super complicated, but it's got a few new sections! Going back to bring everyone up to the new layout will be the perfect excuse to update some of my older profiles, so I'll probably update in batches and post notices whenever a profile gets significantly revamped in the process and worth a new read-through! For example, Charity and Euphesme never really got proper profiles, so they'll need a lot of work! Istra's also due for a do-over even though their profile is pretty meaty simply because their character has become more focused and a lot has been added to their backstory!
For now, my girlfriend picked out Thyx to get the new layout first, so check it out! While updating his profile layout I also updated a lot of his profile itself, and it's now quite a bit more detailed! You might even say that it's...... TOTALLY METAL!!!!!!!!!!
If you'd like to send me anything then obviously go ahead, but otherwise I plan on advertising any OC memes I make on here since this is an OC-centric website and all! I might even send you some if i recognized that you reblogged it and I think I have a good enough understanding of your OCs! Heck, even if I don't I might just randomly pick out, like, 5 of your OCs or something!
If you've got a thirst for OC memes, I have two others (and one that never quite picked up but is there regardless) on my ask meme blog!: http://letsmemeitup.tumblr.com/tagged/oc-meme
