So, this is slightly inspired by another recent thread here on GS, but the point is to describe your first RP character that you ever played. This can be any medium; IRC, forums, chat messengers, LARPs, tabletops, doesn't matter.
For some of us, we're gonna have to think a long way back too.
So how about it? Who was your first?

Oh boy, this is actually pretty easy for me xD
Back in high school, my friends made an invisionfree, really poorly structured, supernatural school RP. Looking back, oh boy its a wonder no one other than us joined o.o
Ahh but anyway, my first character was some angsty little werewolf girl. Pretty stereotypical emo kid with a god awful mary sue backstory. Haha ahh, she's still a precious character to me, but it's been like five years and I've managed to mold her into a muuuuuch better character than the flat thing she used to be.
Despite the fact that the site and my character were pretty bad, it was a lot of fun. It's probably what really got me into roleplaying. Since the site started up friend drama and just plain died, I went off looking for new RPs. So I can't say I'm ungrateful, especially since every site after it has been fabulous in comparison ><

My very first role play character that I clearly remember would be when I was nine or ten. She was a Pokémon trainer named Serenity, and I used her on this one Neopets role play guild (lol I faked my age and my ten-year-old self thought it was the 'baddest' thing ever). From what I remember, she wasn't too bad of a character. Sure, she was mostly two-dimensional, but her team was well-balanced, and she was likable. She had some insecurity issues as well, so she had at least a little bit of depth. The only sue-ish trait she had was her ridiculous hair coloring. Her bangs were naturally blonde, but the rest of her hair was... black. lol. I didn't know how genetics worked then. Overall, she wasn't too shabby for my first rp character.
But, then I went into my angsty 'no one understands me' preteen mode and proceeded to make some of the worst role play characters there ever was until I turned 15. That was when I seriously began to reevaluate myself and my writing.
edit: changed it to 15 bc i was still a turd when i was 14.

I don't recall who exactly my first character was but my earliest memory was a booby vixen in tight leathers from an art in DA
I was 12 and I thought I was ~mature~ so I entered the the ~adult rp~ board and what could be more adult than that

My first was the boy Payton Silverwing. He was an eight year old who died in medieval Scotland, and was warped by the powers that be to be the Grim Reaper. He was goofy, loved that humanity had come up with the concept of chocolate milk, and was basically the Doctor before I even realized wtf Doctor Who was.
Still love him. Still might polish him and reuse him. Cause there were a few things that were really really bad about him. like him having a Yami because FUCK YEAH YU-GI-OH IS MY TWELVE YEAR OLD LIFE

I've been doing this too long. I had to like seriously think. I think on a board, it was some terrible version of the trope Genki Girl- mixed with a demon. I don't remember much about her. I have suppressed this memory. Let it die. I am embarrassed. I will sacrifice small things.

i don't know how, but back on a warrior cats roleplay back in like 2007 or 2008, me and a friend called dusk started roleplaying and technically my first character that wasn't a self-insert was an 18 year old college guy called keith and that's him on the side there (dusk drew him) he was this really stupid thing called a shade angel, which is basically just a humanoid species but with wings and shade angels in particular had dark coloured wings... and keith was also experimented on so he had the cells of a some ethereal creature of darkness in his body it was kind of weird thinking about it but i've had keith ever since then but he's gone through loads of revision like at one point he was fucking crazy as in obsessive psycho with a murderous streak and heard voices and then at another point he was kind of like gackt because i had an obsession with gackt at that time??? and he was a vampire (since in my brain vampirism is kind of like a disease so any species (unless that species is immune) can be infected with it) i still have keith though his name is keith gray and he's a cutie and i've revised shade angels and now they're not a cringeworthy species they're called valkaire and they live in a place called altare in clans and stuff and altare is a pretty dangerous place i mean it's like survival of the bloody fittest there i'm cringing so much at some of the old keith shit though |D;; the keith now and the first keith i had, they're kind of similar in terms of personality i guess but current keith wasn't experimented on nor is he obsessed with this one chick (dusk's self-insert im lauaghigng) and sad because she doesn't love him but accidentally keeps leading him on the good old days i'm cringing so much it's so funny

he was this really stupid thing called a shade angel, which is basically just a humanoid species but with wings and shade angels in particular had dark coloured wings... and keith was also experimented on so he had the cells of a some ethereal creature of darkness in his body it was kind of weird thinking about it but
i've had keith ever since then but he's gone through loads of revision like at one point he was fucking crazy as in obsessive psycho with a murderous streak and heard voices and then at another point he was kind of like gackt because i had an obsession with gackt at that time??? and he was a vampire (since in my brain vampirism is kind of like a disease so any species (unless that species is immune) can be infected with it) shhhhhh, don't worry. i was into my gothic "NO 1 CAN EVER UNDERSTAND ME!!!!111!!1" from when i was ten - thirteen, and virtually all my characters from that time frame were kawaii desu demon princesses that were misunderstood and 'tortured souls' with a hidden psycho side. they were so bad that i couldn't even salvage them.

Hokkaido Academy—I was maybe 10 or 11 years old at the time; my friend had found the site by just searching up Academy’s; we noticed it was a school for the elite; vampires and stuff were on it. As children; we assumed it had been real. So I joined it; with the rude awakening it wasn’t… In fact it was something called an role play, all of this being new to me; I wanted to learn. So I played; my first character was declined due to being a ‘mary sue’; I wasn’t sure what it was used Google. So my actual first try to seriously character was a Vampire Princess; named Hime I believe; anyways. It was supppppper horrible character; and I never moved her from that site; she stayed where she belonged; and the site has long since died; and new sites were made in its place; but Hokkaido Academy will still place a spot in my heart no matter what. I started rp’ing there; and it’s brought me into a world of new characters; and no longer mary sue’ing; (Expect for when I am just being lazy. )

Oh my, making me think back to middle school years. xD Alright, so my first ever RP character was actually a Warrior cat named SwampFly (yeah, she seems very attractive). My friends were all into the series and we loved to write stories, plus our English teacher loved to RP herself, so she made a community site for the people in the school and I began to RP with SwampFly. She was the worst character ever in the history of all of my characters, and that's saying a lot.
Her basic story was that she was blind and couldn't do anything on her own. Literally. A bird attacked her, some other cat had to save her. She never fell in love or anything and was kind of a grump. She's pretty much the Princess Peach of Warrior cats.

The first RP character I ever did was a vampire named Vanessa in a Twilight board. She was such a Borderline Sue - she was smart and sweet, although got angry a lot and rather minimal faults. I didn't get to RP her much, she was the most underdeveloped OC I made in my RP history, saying a lot. I was ten when I created her, now I'm 17, and now, I can sigh at the improvement.
