Okay. Since Magnet Dood has randomly disappeared, and I'm still bored over here, I decided I'd fire up the other kind of RP I'm familiar with.
If you're scratching your head, there are two kinds of RPs:
Plot RP; where a bunch of different characters controlled by several players get together and act out a plot.
Battle RP; where two players, controlling one character each, go out into an agreed-on location and battle until the other is incapacitated. The topic is typically locked after a winner is determined.
In other words, to tide us over until he gets back, this can be used as a disposable battle topic thread.

Now, just some ground rules:
1. Starting the battle can be the tricky part. Be in-character, but also try to find some reason to get angry at your combatnant-to-be. This can be as subtle as a quiet insult.
2. This is all about the battle. Don't worry about what happens afterwards; of course, you can write about it after you're defeated, but other than that, it doesn't matter much.
3. Use your environment to your advantage! This is why the location can be so important sometimes. This is not only good practice for your descriptive ability, it can also help you learn how to win where it really counts (e.g. a Plot RP).
4. Oh, yes, before the fight begins, be sure that links to information on both characters in the battle and the battlefield are available.

So anyway, enough of my rambling. There's nothing barred, but if you are using an OC or FC that you haven't mentioned here, please be sure to link information. So...yeah, I'm gonna wait for someone or another to issue a challenge now.

Naw, if we were to battle, it would be you choose a character, I choose a character, then they fight.

Okay, we begin.
Omegaman was walking down the road, seeing if Sigma was around anywhere,
and ____ (Your character) suddenly popped out of no where and tried to give him a pop quiz. Omegaman said "No", and tried to walk away.
___ followed him and said that he'd re-boot him if he didn't take the quiz.

(...Alright, it looks like you aren't doing it right, and that's what I was afraid of.)

(#1: If you're going to open, you ought to set the stage. Where are people going to be fighting?)
#2: ...None of my characters really exist in the X Timeline, and that's what's mainly making this fight so impossible.)
#3: You are not allowed to decide what other characters are doing. Ever. At all.)

Time's up.

I know! How about this: You and I can do a private RP, and I'll teach you the ropes of RPing.

Don't be like that, Omega, RPing takes practice! I'm only trying to help you.

You can do a private RP with Finite; his format's a little different, but he's still pretty good. I think I may jump in as well--but first, we'll need a topic.

Alright, three-way private RP it is! I'll call it "teaching the ropes". Though, we should first go to the General RP section to discuss the setting.

Because Magnet is now buried up to his neck in schoolwork, I'll remind everyone that this topic exists.

(Okay, fine, I see that my attempts haven't gone so well. Maybe I should choose my character first?)

Pyro-Man sat quietly on a rock on the outskirts of Monsteropolis. The metal city's borders were quite large, but only the center was the Robotic city it was famed for--the closer to the borders one got, the more rugged and untamed the landscape became. Presently, it was a pleasant field, with only a few stray trees and rocks dotting what was otherwise endless grasses.
Besides being one of peace, Pyro-Man had also recently become a lover of nature. As he held out his hand, a bird fluttered onto it and rested there. Pyro-Man had seen many birds out in this field, but he didn't think he recognized this one--a cardinal, he noticed, one that seemed rather small for its species. "Why, hello there, little guy. What's your name?" he asked the creature. He knew it couldn't respond to him, but he liked to ask anyway.

(And now here's the part where someone else comes along and tries to create conflict...)
