sitting on a completed panfan site but i can't open bc i don't wanna work on writing apps
then don't

minimalist & plotter apps are valid and cool. come to the dark side where we focus more on our RP goals than on 600 word history sections.



How does this even work? Because I've been curious about it for a while now. Being able to not have to spend a million years and just as many words on shit like history, appearance, and etc seems nice. But how do you go about judging if a character does or doesn't have the capability to completely take a dump on lore, or power levels etc?

side nav menu with dropdowns for a potential guidebook nav

Was working on a thing for the guidebook and thought the idea would be cool to have this on a site. So I followed a youtube tutorial and viola(or whatever).




If ya'll want it or can improve it then be my guest:

link to codepen

Also there's this mini profile thingy

There is some sort of coding demon that people are secretly selling their souls to in order to understand how to skin a jcink forum and they're not hookin' a brother up and it makes me sad.

The longer it stays in my head, the more I want to make a combined Bayonetta x Devil May Cry site. I'd be 50% of the way there if I just knew how to transfer my random coding scribbles to an actual jcink forum.
I said it in your graphic gallery, but I'd be so down doing some heavy leg work to help a site like that flourish considering.


I'll likely DM you eventually if that's cool. I'm still wishy washy on the idea and I'd at least rather have some things set up first like typing out lore information and stuff.

also i was going to respond to this and forgot, bc i think this could be interesting to combine the lore from both franchises. would this be stat based or no? i know the power scaling/leveling would lend itself to that but i could see it going either way.

also, re: your issue with jcink. yeah, that sucks man. jcink's got a wicked learning curve, and i feel like the wiki that john set up to help people code for it needs to be updated/overhauled, bc it's kind of hard to navigate and is otherwise just outdated. like the last i checked it doesn't even have the right stylesheet on it lmao


I may very well make a genuine interest check then, just to test the waters a little and not take away from this thread. But to answer your question, neither game really has level scaling in it, it's all about wracking up points and then buying abilities for weapons and styles you unlock throughout the game. So some sort of point shop with small things like Bounties and Secret Missions that award points. Then those points can be used to unlock stuff. Like skills, or styles, Devil arms, weapons, or other things. Would have to figure it all out and I would definitely make it more in line with the games.

If you haven’t started doing it already, I recommend to start copying jcink’s stylesheet onto codepen when you start coding a new skin project. It’s a bit clunky to navigate, yeah, but it’ll make transferring the skin to jcink 10000% easier. It also will then have some things already written for you that way that you can just go back and edit later to your liking, like the links and whatnot. Total lifesaver.



My biggest hang up right now is the whole, what goes where in terms of html and have it all line up correctly with of all the <% thing %>'s and <!--|other things|-->

These are absolutely stunning!

And yeah, I code and mess around constantly (especially when I was on break from writing/sites) so I know the feeling.

That said, Devil May Cry is one of those fandoms that could be a ton of fun and a lot of potential but also a lot of work to sort lore and setting out well enough to make it engaging enough to write too (which could be said about so many fandoms these days I guess).

Great work!



Yeah, thankfully I have loads of experience running my fair share of devil may cry sites. (circa 2009, 2012, 2014) It's just a matter of this will not get out of my brain. Thank you for the feedback ^_^

So you ever been stricken by the urge to make something for sites but just don't have the time or want to waste the effort in building, advertising, and running a site?

That's where I'm at. Right now I've only got mock ups and designs, and some of the things I'm making in coding just to see what I can actually do and stuff. Though all of this is going to be screenshots. Feel free to leave comments or whatever.

site mock up for a devil my cry site: - light / dark mode


mobile mock up of skin


Posting template for imaginary site



header and nav bar for imaginary site - still needs more work tho. margins for the little diamonds need to be tweaked to fit better, would like to do a transparent gradient overlay on the picture in the big diamond. Just got to figure out how.



Board layout - specifically the getting started area. Essentially it would be a category, and the diamonds would be boards in that category. margins are wonky, haven't figured out how to fix yet.

Been fighting off the urge for a while to make a new Devil May Cry roleplay site. 

Edit: Making a mock up skin has not appeased the urge one bit.

Any weird google searches you had to do for rping?

I honestly can't remember most of them. There have efinitely been a lot of weird ones... I guess I've had to look up some fashion for guys, including swimsuits... Yeah. Had to dig into the right direction for that.

I also looked up the largest fossilized poops that exist but IDK if that was related to rping or if it was just another Tuesday for me

Not weird, but it was a bit embarrassing at how I had to look up "how to talk on phone" because I made an impromptu phone thread that turned to a call and my character is a social mfker. i realized it was way out of my league and I've never faked it till I made it so hard until that thread



Currently I'm doing a plot that involves a lot more martial arts mysticism and philosophy so my search history has been pretty tame so far, just mostly topping up on information about Chi/Qi philosophies, wuxia stuff, legends and tales, etc. Been kind of nice actually lmao

No worries. I will say we're going to be having a few sub plots that people can join in on so it's not just a one and done thing. Also I'm the admin that runs most mercenary related things and I run a fuck ton of background characters for the site so if you ever get bored or want something new I can run like mini stories for you. But yeah, once we get finished with everything I'll hit you up again. Is it cool if I send you an update through PM's or just tag you in this thread?

So, we're currently reworking our site to be more urban fantasy that the original setting. We're mostly all set up (Just one or two lore pieces to put up. Making some site wanted ads. pretty much last minute stuff.) We're transitioning to 18+, Our community is pretty small(We have waves), we've only been around for about 6 months and while we're in a slow spot we still try to maintain activity.

I have a plot going right now for one of my characters and I need a role filled potentially that I can fill you in on if you want a character to come in with right off of the bat. I'm also looking at giving away one of my other characters that I just don't keep active and is currently in a ship with one of the main admin's characters.

It's mostly an OC site, however I've never had a problem with people making cannon characters as long as your can bend their lore to fit into the site setting's lore. (Used to do this all the time on a resident evil site. Kind of how it ended up being a mash up of hellsing, metal gear solid, and devil may cry with resident evil -Both games and movies-).

If you'd like I can PM you a link to the site. Or if you prefer my Discord DM's are always open, My discord is fr0sty_tsb
:eyes: drop me the link and pitch me the want ads since like i said, i'm not just wanting a site, i'm wanting a new rp bestie to bring me to their site and give me something fun to write with them that we're both gonna be mega hyped for.

sue me, okay, i'm just hoping to minimize the possibility of wasting my time joining a site + making a character that ultimately gets brushed off because no one else is really hyped for me to be there + they're just going through the motions of plotting with me until i take the hint and leave-


No I totally get that honestly. So the link to the site is: shadowsofouryouth.jcink.net/?act=idx.

My dumbass forgot to ask what you're more comfortable playing, (gender wise). So I hope you're okay with chicks (Right now in continuity my character hasn't had his bi-sexual panic moment, and the other was already pretty well established when they were a background character.)

So the first character atm is more of a concept than reality so there's a lot to play with. Currently one of my characters has a sort of will they/won't they type of ship going on with another character that we're leaving up to fate(letting it play out essentially.) What I need really is a sort of roadblock esque character? Like you know how in web toons comics, in some of the korean romance dramas there's a character that's either from one of the character's past and they usually show up and are misunderstood as a potential romantic rival? Someone who understands that character more? That's kind of what I need here.

So basic ideas are:

- This character was part of a mercenary family
- My character was part of a merc family
- Merc families often put up collateral when forming alliances in the form of arranged marriages
- Our characters were arranged around 13/14, probably rocky at first but they both kind of grew to at least be friends
- Something happened, whether it was because your character's merc family went under, or maybe the alliance grew strong enough that the arrangement wasn't necessary anymore. Whatever the reason, lead to them pretty much being ex-fiancés. More than likely around 15/16.
(Or we could just say they totally forgot about it equally and officially nothing was actually annulled which would kind of be funny to me. Don't know why, it just would be.)
- This character at some point in her life got into freelance mercenary work. (There's a whole thing on mercenaries in our site lore)
- Mine recently got into that line of work after having worked in the family PMC for years
- The pair of them were both hired for a job along with a few others and that's where they kind of got back in touch with one another.
- Playby would likely be Texas from Arknights but honestly I'm not super picky if you got something better.
- Haven't settled on a name for the character, keep flipping on and off about Vivian, but really if you have a better name go for it.


The next character is pretty much already an established character. Honestly need to stop being lazy and write up her actual profile(She used to just be a background character.) I'm just kind of want to give her away because I really can't play her that well. I just need someone to take her off my hands. She's established in a ship with one of the main admin's characters. Also technically a mercenary. (But not really, you'll see)

- Character is named Abigale Silverstone
- Super nerdy and mousey
- Hyper intelligent when it comes to like engineering and nerd stuff.
- Is the head of Research and Development for the White Rabbit Mercenary Faction.
- Kind of been with the PMC since she was rescued as a child.
- knew Izaak (the ship) since they were kids, kind of grew up with him until he left the faction for a while.
- Got reunited and caught up, had moments and stuff and are totally dating now.
- Super self conscious about her body image (She developed a body suit that like shrinks her *cough*proportions*cough*)
- Rambles and talks super fast when she's nervous, like legit there have been moments where I've written walls of colored run on text for her speech and then those rambles just continue into the narration too.


With both of these characters there's potential to roleplay with both myself and the Main Admin. Which right now we're currently the two most active on the site T_T, but hey, people be busy ya'know?
