hey.

[+1 lego piece 3070pb062]

The greatest Status updates has a lego piece?!?!?!?!?!?!

[epprbcu]

Is there a plan for how the epprbcu will end? Or what comes after? Do you all think you'll do another RP afterwards?

No there isn't any kind of plan for an ending and even if there were, it would probably not be very coherent.

It's basically impossible to actually organise all the people here to do something together.

But this does raise a point. What happens when we milk every possibility, when a blog for every conceivable game mechanic/NPC/related person is created?

I don't think anyone has an answer to that and we're also probably far enough away from such a thing that we don't need to care about it.

hello Tutorial! how are you doing! i don't have a suspiciously specific scenario for you so please tell me.

-Jay of @glitch-formation

Oh, I'm doing great actually, I was just finishing up this new room in my bunker... (I should probably get a proper home) Anyways, what are you doing around these parts?

[ J:\\ HELLO, I WISH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS UNIVERSE YOU PUNCTUATION MARKS INHABIT. ]

[Tutorial is holding an ornately carved box]

Oh, hello... Your body is made out of symbols?

Well whatever. Here is a quick rundown:

Basically we are all game UI or simply game elements that got sentience (somehow, we don't yet know how). Some of us are NPCs some of us are different parts of a game UI that somehow got bodies. All of us are characterized by punctuation marks (some of us really are actual punctuation marks, while some only have a punctuation mark instead of a face).

The world we live in seems to be what the players call a "classic RPG setting".

|On a more meta note, while this was all intended more as a bunch of gimmick accounts it devolved into a whole roleplay thing with lore.|

The latest thing happening is a war with trolls which seems to have been avoided. And that seems to have been in part caused by ice people who got woken up when the sun stopped doing its job which was caused by an oh so certain Wizard.

It's complicated.

Anyways before that, the original punctuation mark (status updates) hacked into the literal game command prompt and became a god. He was defeated. His duties were taken over by a slightly brain damaged "status updates 2" for some time. That situation is mostly fine now.

Anyways, who are you, and how did you get here in the first place?

I've seen so many gimmick blogs on Tumblr lately (a lot of which have been vaguely based around video games), and in general trying to understand what to do stresses me out

I guess what I'm trying to ask is: where do I start?

You have encountered the EPPRBCU/Punctuationverse/!cu !

We are a bunch of blogs (normally with punctuation symbols in our profile pictures) who represent various game elements and or NPCs. Daily Quests gave the inspiration for the game component gimmick while status updates started the whole rp part of this all.

Sooooooo you should go to @character-selecton and @character-profiles first and you should also follow all the tags this post is tagged with. If you want the exclams (exclamation point people that we are) to show up on your dash.

Just found this blog. What tf is EPPRBCU??

Exclamation Point PFP RPG Blog Cinematic Universe. Basically all the blogs with PFPs of punctuation symbols. Originally it was a bunch of gimmick blogs with similar premises but it somehow became more. I think @status-updates should have a list of some of the blogs pinned.

[the-tutorial]

Are there any Ampersands or Commas in the EPPRBCU? Or Brackets. I know there's no Apostrophes.

Well the ultimate big bad does have brackets around their exclamation point. But you can always look and see if there is any colour of ? Or ! Remaining. Also, the dungeon core claims that it's a dot. Also while not punctuation we also have a percentage symbol, so as the supply of punctuation dries up other symbols will probably be used more and more.
