Hello everyone! I'm Scarlet, or Cordyceps, and just happened to stumble in here. I technically joined a few months back but haven't had a chance to really explore or do anything until now. So far I really like what I see and enjoy the profile customization options for characters! The one downside is that there seems to be a character limit, which is kind of a bummer for someone like me who has 90+ characters...ahhha..

Anyway, I'm just another nerdy girl who really enjoys gaming (I have pretty much every system at this point, at least everything modern--no PC though, sorry master race that's a WIP), books, anime, misc tv shows, and school things. I just graduated undergrad with a degree in zoology and entomology and am now going back for a second degree in computer information systems (essentially an easier computer science degree coupled with business...I guess). c: If anyone wants to hmu on xbox/psn/nintendo (I have a 3DS, Wii U, and a Switch) let me know!

I just posted up a topic looking for 1x1 roleplays, so if you're into fantasy/sci-fi with a splash of drama/adventure/romance then I'm you're girl for that, too!

On a random note, what do the premium/epic accounts do here? Is there a way to get more character slots through means other than actually paying $15? xD If not it's not a deal-breaker, of course, it just means that I'll have to wait to bring over the rest of my characters until pay day.
Sorry, you have to pay money to bring more characters over. As far as I can tell Epicness means that you can customize your profile more.
Salutations! I'm glad you've finally gotten a chance to really get on the website, because this place is awesome. I'm glad yet another gamer has come to RPR; you'll find more where I came from. Unfortunately, I'm not the person you want to ask about the premium/epic accounts, but I'm sure someone who does will come over. Hope you enjoy the website! I'll PM you my PSN( I'm a huge Overwatch player)

Hi!
And welcome to RPR!

I'm super excited you chose to join us here and I really hope that you find yourself lots of fun and friendships! If you haven't already, I recommend checking out the Just Talkin' chat!

As far as the Epic memberships go, they're actually pretty cool. It allows you a lot of customization options that aren't available to the regular memberships, both in your personal profile and your character profiles.
The Epic FAQ wrote:
To thank epic members for supporting the RP Repository, they have access to all these great perks for the duration of their epic status:

Characters belonging to epic members have NO ADS on their profiles
Epic members don't see ads anywhere else on the site, either!
Create custom character template styles to use and share
Access to all of the custom character template styles that other members have shared!
Customize their own user profile with colors of their choosing
Get 10 temporary extra character slots
Upload 30 extra gallery images per character

I just the other day got Epic for the first time in 6 years and I love it entirely.

As for other ways, you can always buy individual character slots. Unlike the Epic character slots, these will never disappear.
There's often raffles and the like where people will give away RPR Inventory Items, and so you can have a chance of winning slots or Epic as well.
Or you can do an art trade or something!

There's a few ways of getting around that if you're just dead set against spending the money ever, but I wholeheartedly encourage getting some of the items, if for no other reason than it gives back to RPR and helps keep the proverbial lights on. A very, very small price to pay in my opinion.

@Dathmach - Thanks. c:

@Video_Game_Royal - Baahhhhh I have Overwatch on xbox. x__x I'll go add you shortly anyway, though. ^_^

@JayBird - Ahh, thanks for such a great reply! That answered a lot of my questions and I really appreciate it. As far as giving back to RPR via those slots I'm definitely alright with it if I decide to stick around, which so far it looks like I will because this is the best site I've visited in what feels like ages. <3 They're pretty cheap in comparison to other sites too (where I'm used to paying ~$5 per additional character slot). I'll probably end up doing a mix of art commissions and actually buying slots. I'm not sure I'll jump on the epic account just yet though, but those extra customization features do sound right up my alley.
Hey, welcome to RPR! :)

Enjoy your stay here!~

Epic membership allows you to customize your profile,and gives you extra Character slots. Only thing is,I believe after membership is over you cannot edit the extra slot ones. If you need anymore help,me or anyone else can help you!~ Just pm me if you do!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. <3
Hello and welcome welcome!

As everyone above me has probably said at some point, you pay for more characters. As someone who has 50 different characters and tailors them for every RP they go into. I know how infuriating it can be to make a proper character profile.

I'll check out your forum post!
Welcome. As a fellow traveler in the roleplay world, I am always excited when a new face comes 'round. Please enjoy your stay, and ask me any question, and the doors of Apocrypha (AKA my rp knowledge) shall be opened to you.
