This is exactly what it sounds like
You got some depressed characters? Bring them in.
A WARNING: this is going to be depressing af. Probably self-harm will be written about. If you're sensitive to that kind of thing, don't join
Also, this is not a one-on-one
Some rules:
- don't be rude. If you act in a way that I think is not okay, you're out, don't argue
- swearing is allowed
- anything remotely steamy or dirty does not belong here
- you know what else doesn't belong here? IRL sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ANY KIND OF HATE
- if I've seen you do things on other chats or rps that I do not think is okay, I am allowed to say no when you ask to join
- ASK BEFORE JOINING
- lgbt+ is hella allowed
- shipping is also allowed, but we're going to write it in as we go, not pre-determine ships, and we're not starting any crush stuff between our characters until at least page 6. I'd prefer this didn't get too romantic, more of like a friends helping friends thing
- things are going to get rough. If a bit you post is going to have intense abuse or self harm, or etc, please write (TRIGGER WARNING) above it
- please try to be as accurate as possible if describing depressing events that have not happened to you.
- seriously, do your research
- descriptive posts on physical, verbal, and psychological abuse/self harm/etc are allowed, but again, put a trigger warning
- if your character has undergone sexual abuse, do not go into detail about the scenes. If they have flashbacks about it, don't be overly descriptive. Obviously you can mention it, but be sensitive
- you know what, imma repeat that last bit: BE SENSITIVE
- BE RESPECTFUL
- I am allowed to ask you to delete a post or leave.
- no IRL fighting. If someone is being rude, then obviously call them out on it. But don't throw around unnecessary insults.
- this is a realistic style rp. no fantasy pls
- takes place in like 2016ish
- please don't make up a character on the spot for this, have a relatively developed one please
- age limit is uhh 16 to 26
- don't control other people's characters
- ask permission before hurting another character
- actually read these rules before asking to join
- hmmm what else is there…
- that's all I can think of for now, I'll probably update this later
- EDIT: OCs only
- EDIT: No Mary Sues
- EDIT: please avoid one liners… you aren't expected to write a paragraph every time it's your turn, but keep away from single sentences
What I'm trying to go for here is a space that people can vent through a character, or literally just whip out their depressing characters. Be caring and helpful, have fun, write your heart out
I'm trying to slowly inch towards happiness for each character, like, starting out really depressed and working towards getting happier with the help of other characters
I'll put up a template if anyone actually decides to join this
for sure! lemme pull up a template one sec

(Is it alright if I use my character named Rvan? I don’t want to get confused with my user, maybe I can change my username for now…)
Yeah that's fine! You don't have to change your username if you don't want)
(May I join? And also comment on the viola thing-SHOW THAT PRIDE!)
Yeah go for it!! Also yasss the viola is amazing
Also guys, don’t feel bad if you can’t be on sometimes! Irl life is more important than some rp on the Internet, so take a break if you need it :)
Thanks Topaz :) also I'm basic and play violin
Sorry still workin on character
Name: Rvan Soltan
Age (16-26): 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality (and whether or not you're okay with them being shipped): Questioning, and nah thanks for shipping (I guess if need be, Rvan can ship I guess, but only if the two characters are really good together)
Reason for being in this rp (mental illnesses, etc.): Depression, has had multiple suicide attempts previously, self-harm
Appearance: Dark black hair, extremely pale skin, 6’4”, Mesomorph, sharp facial features, bright green eyes. He has a complex/intricate tattoo of raven wings all over his back.
Usual clothing: Plain black, white, or grey shirts, black pants or rarely jeans. A leather jacket most of the time, tends to have his earbuds in most of the time.
Personality: Keeps to himself, likes to listen more than talk, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have anything to say. He pays attention to a lot more than he lets on, like he’ll eavesdrop on phone calls his parents make in fear of more therapy. Rvan is very factual and left-brained most of the time. He’s always thought of himself as not good enough and feels alone most of the time -even though his brother and him are very close- because not many people understand him.
Flaws: He’s addicted to cigarettes, he doesn’t know how to comfort people. He doesn’t try anymore, and he pushes people anyway sometimes, has a low self-esteem
Likes: His brother- he’s extremely attached to his brother, Erik. His brother is probably one of the reasons Rvan isn’t dead yet. Rvan likes learning about history and current events, likes smoking, and he likes to drive and blast his music in the car. Trump
Dislikes: Narcissism, arrogance, goodie-two-shoes, fake people, lies. He hates homophobes because his brother is gay.
Other: He used to golf a lot and was fairly good, but he gave up the sport a few years ago. (Can I add more to this later?)
(Is he okay?)
Omg sorry for taking so long… anyway.
Name: Opal Solumquie
Age (16-26): 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality (Shipping: Ye): Bicurious, demisexual, grey-romantic
Reason for being in this rp (mental illnesses, etc.): Depression, anxiety, suicidal, mild-insomnia, generally unsocial
Appearance: Ombre wavy hair, starts black and transitions to a deep purple ending at lavender. Eccentric blue eyes, the right side face is hidden by her hair. Gives off a feeling of vulnerability, her cheeks are red and she looks like she just cried. Never smiles, rarely opens her mouth. Average height, weight, seems unbalanced at a glance, not confident, small. Her left ear pierced, always wearing a foggy blue earring. She has scars from cutting herself on her wrist, three parallel lines about 1 1/2 inches long on the underside.
Usual clothing: Black form-fitting shirt, dark blue jeans. A lighter, humble colored jacket is usually tied around her waist, and red converse on a daily basis.
Personality: Guided by feelings rather than logic, she has a tendency to overlook into everything. Opal can't stop comparing a persons response to her than others. She can't stop herself from hating herself, everything she does is just a mistake. This has been ingrained and shoved into her from her parents' words. The only comfort she finds is from music, books, and nature. It's easy to zone out for her, especially if she's looking at fire. Her eyes get lost in the light, and her mind drifts off…
Flaws: Unnatural fear of rejection, self-conscious about everything. Can't talk in front of too many people, will stress out and have a panic attack.
Likes: Doggos, spring, being alone, a quiet beach, falling asleep.
Dislikes: Yelling, bright white light, social media, camera-shy.
Other: Her dominant hand is her left, but she has a goal of being ambidextrous.
(Can I join? Also is it okay if I have a character who seems happy and energetic but isn't? Or should they be not super happy for the purpose of this rp?)
@MrSoltan I love him, the only thing I'd ask is could you expand a bit on his personality?
@Delicious-Fried-Potatoes-and-Forks she's awesome!
@Moxie, that's fine as long as they have deep-seated mental issues on the inside
(Big oof, sorry, I completely forgot to finish filling out that category lol, that’s embarrassing, fixing it…)
(go ahead! Your templates are always so descriptive and awesome oml)
(Aww thx!) Idk who to use now
