"Hmmm, I think was just the change the fight club needed."
Maroon had been training in what was once the grounds of the Underground fight club. Now with official support of the government, this became the training grounds that is part of the newly named Lawain's National Battler's Association, or LNBA for short. With LNBA now being formed, now official battle tournament could be hosted and with that means familiar faces can not only stop worrying about being fined or jailed for illegal activities, but they also have proper medical support when needed, as well as being able to train young bloods in the art of combat and help new aura users master their aura manipulation abilities in a more safe and legit way.
But of course with the training ground now being part of LNBA also meant it would probably attract other strong fighters that would like to hone their skills, which is something the young half dragon would welcome with open arms-- or err...Fists, if he wanted to challenge them.
So Maroon was practicing with one of his friends in the training ground, enjoying the adrenaline rush of combat-- even if it's training. It only took a couple of minutes till the other decided that they were taking a small break, which meant Maroon had some time to relax himself and get some water to hydrate himself.
He noticed a new face in the distance. Someone who seemed more than experienced enough to not be a new fighter-- no. This person, while Maroon couldn't confirm it yet, already had a feeling they were experienced. But they were a new face in this place after all, so as someone who's no stranger to talking with newcomers spoke up in hopes the other could hear it.
"Hey there--" Maroon said to the male with a smile on his face. "You must be new here? You don't look like someone who's been here before, right?"

So I'll throw this out here now since I spoke about it to lawain-dimensional-heroes.
Hi everybody, I used to be protagneptune on here!
As I told lawain, the email address I used for protagneptune was hacked into by someone who I assume had it out for me, which I have no idea why. They deactivated everything that was assigned to it including the Discord account I used to join hxroic-wxlls's discord server. Which absolutely damn sucked, cause I genuinely enjoyed being here, interacting with many different people and their characters: canon or otherwise, and I put a lot of effort into crafting a Neptunia world that had my vision!
To make matters even worse, the computer I used to, well, be here, blue screened on me as I was about to update the system. The computer then got stuck in a Windows Update loop where it would hit a certain percentage and then get stuck. I tried hard crashing the PC to bonk it back into shape, but that seemed to hard lock into it being stuck on "Restarting . . . " which is now the only thing it wants to do.
I don't make much money, personally. And with the work that I do requiring a PC with somewhat decent power as I do video editing for a local charity, I needed to save up for a new system to use, which took longer than I had hoped.
But now, I'm back, baby! Those who have followed me that knew me as Neptune and Co. as lawain's character has labelled me as (Which made me smile.), I heavily look forward to being back in the groove with you guys! Any new followers who may of seen that name around, hi hello~ And if not, well, nice to meet'cha!
I plan on bringing the Neptunia characters back at some point, but for now, my mainline muses now are Zamasu, Goku Black and Merged Zamasu from Dragon Ball Super, as I have had a Dragon Ball binge to finish off 2023. (Happy New Year by the way!)
As I said, looking forward to interacting with you all once again, spread me around, let's have a good time! Again!

Preeeeeeeech!

((WELL, ALRIGHT, IF YOU GUYS ARE SURE, I'll try to summarize it in a few key points.))
--------------
Amber's Tumblr RP Activity guide
P.S: This is all based on personal experience based on the time I've been here for years. Results may differ, but this is pretty much what works best for me.
I think everyone knows the usual 'Have Fun' advice, which is pretty much the most important thing, but I have a few things to add on my own:
1) Remember that this is Tumblr, and not Wattpad.
I know, this is very obvious. You are looking at this post in Tumblr.com, after all. But... what exactly do I mean by this?
Tumblr is a social blogging website. And unlike Wattpad, we're not writing a book by ourselves. We're writing said book with others.
RPing is different from traditional writing. And the biggest difference when it comes to these two is:
2) Always, ALWAYS try to throw SOMETHING to get people to be involved easier. Make it as easy as possible!
This... is something I actually kind of want to touch on for a while, because I notice this even among people who have been RPing for years, and that's... not giving bait for people to work with
Here's an example, let's say I make a post:
Chloe is working on alchemy. Oops! She realizes she doesn't have enough ingredients in the shelf! Off she goes to the Human Village to find for ingredients!
It's okay, but... there's not much to work with.
What ingredients is she looking for? Where in the Human Village is she going?
People tend not to figure out these things for you, so they kind of just leave it be there, and people go 'Oh it's just her doing her daily things'
So... let's try to add a bit more stuff in it:
Chloe is working on alchemy. Oops! She realizes she doesn't have enough ingredients in the shelf! She realizes that the things which are missing are as follows:
- One Tengu Feather
- One Medical Herb from Eientei
- One Divine Water from Korin's Tower
The human village is a good place to start for the ingredients!
And just like that, it became much better, because it's easier for people to throw themselves with the item in need. Heck, if you want to go the extra mile, throw an ask to those people who like the post, it always worked for me lajsGHLJSHDASD
This goes the same for replies. ALWAYS throw something for the person to reply to.
Think of it like a ping-pong game where the ball keeps bouncing between you and your partner. You want to throw the ball back to them, so they can hit it and throw it back to you.
Have your character ask a question, wonder something about them, something easier for them to lead on to or reply to.
Also, it's preferable you keep things simple, especially when it comes to...:
3) Silly things! Don't be afraid of throwing whatever for dash activity!
You remember the whole universal rule of 'Have fun'? Well, there we go! Anything in your head, just throw it out.
Here, I'll give an example. I'll just post something like:
Crescent makes a fucking cake and it's just nothing but guns
And someone could easily post something like
"lol that's a stupid cake, anyways here's mine"
CONGRATULATIONS, PEOPLE ARE HAPPY, YAAY
Remember, we're all here to have fun! Just let loose, and stuff :DDD
Honestly, casual shenanigans fun is pretty much the best way of doing whatever, and that's mostly when you clear your head of all sense and reason, then post the stupidest thing you can
Don't overthink it, just do! And if nothing happens, then it's fine, you pretty much threw your shot!
Remember, the worst thing that could happen is no one replies to it. It's discouraging, yes, but it's okay, it happens! So just throw your shot, and have fun!
4) Approach people and throw your character AT them. Don't worry, we're all awkward potatoes.
This is doubly-even more so important for OCs, especially new ones. OCs are unfamiliar territory and the Pandora's Box, and most people prefer things they're familiar with, and stick with that.
Don't worry, I understand. It's really intimidating to go up to someone, wave at them, and throw yourself at them.
But seriously, we're all nerds in Tumblr. I'm equally as shy, especially around people I don't know. So... just throw yourself if you see the opportunity to! You see a meme they reblog? Why not throw something?
Really, the worst thing they can do is say 'No'. And if they do, then it's okay, there's next time, or other places who might be interested in them. Just remember, try to take the initiative and get in there.
Double points if you throw your character at something you think their character might need help with, some event they're doing, or the RPer is trying to explore more. (Example for my case, Chloe's hometown or Rirune's world, or for other RPer's cases, their OC's backstories, fears, etc.)
Remember, people are more likely to approach if there's a pre-existing relationship with one character of yours, and vise versa! So try to get in there if you see something you can throw your character at!
5) Don't force activity. The time will come!
If you're struggling on writing anything... it's fine! Just get out of Tumblr, go play a game or something. The last thing we want to do is force ourselves to push activity, even when we're not feeling like it.
If you do force it, that would make Tumblr RPing more of a chore than a hobby, and it will show. And... we don't want to treat our hobby like a side job.
Think of it like fishing. Your inspiration WILL come, just wait for it. Don't force interacting with other people if you can't think of anything, or try pushing things out if you don't have the mood to do so.
Remember, RPing is a hobby where it takes two to tango. Remember, we're here to have fun together!
6) Try to show interest, we're not mind readers
Small little thing, but if someone shows interest to you by trying to start threads with you, throw you an ask... Try to return the favor when the opportunity comes.
We've all been at the side of 'I threw things at the person but they don't seem to want to RP with me, so I'll leave them alone because they're hard to approach', and I don't think anyone wants that ljhgjlad
This isn't 'reblog karma' or anything, when it comes to memes, but rather, showing interest in someone's stuff, whether it's throwing your character back at them, liking their posts, etc. can go a long way to give your partner the OK, which means more activity for you two!
Basically: tl;dr:
1) Remember that this is Tumblr, a social blogging website! You're playing with other people, and the both of you are writing stories together, and having fun in a playground! You can write things yourself via drabbles, but ultimately, we're pretty much in this together!
2) If you do want to do something, make it easy for people to come in! Try to get people involved in the most simplest way possible in your head, and remember, throw a ball to your partner to lead on!
3) Shenanigans are usually the best way for activity because of how simple and fun it is, not to mention easy to get into! Don't be afraid of emptying your mind and throwing the most stupid thing in your head, because we're all here to have fun!
4) Approach other people! Be their cheerleader! Put them in the spotlight! We're all awkward potatoes, so why not approach them first? You can even throw memes at them which prompts a character relationship! The worst thing they could do is say no!
5) Don't force activity. Wait. If you wait, the time will come. Kind of like fishing! It'll be really obvious if you rush it. There's no hidden art about it, but just have fun!
6) We obviously respect each other, but try to show it, ESPECIALLY if it goes both ways. If it only goes one way, it'll be much harder to approach, even if you're interested in them.
Remember, it takes two people to tango! RPing is not a solo hobby, and we're all here to have fun with each other :DDD
