RPA Roleplay Awards - Nominations 2019! [ Deadline: July 20 ]
Welcome to the official Roleplay Awards of RPA 2019!
We are here to honor those who contribute to the true essence of this site; roleplaying and friendly community. They've inspired and amused us, taught us and created with us, and with their contributions help us create what we're proud to think is the best roleplay site on the web!
Please fill out the form below and nominate those members you feel truly deserve the recognition. Also be sure the read the Rules for the Awards and who has excluded themselves from the awards before nominating!
Things to remember;
-You may fill out as much or as little of the form as you like. You are not required to nominate for every category, and you do not need to nominate two members for each category.
-Please use members' full, current username when nominating, rather than a nickname or old username. (Because it's such a pain to track them down).
-Please try to include links to the roleplay/character you're voting for. (The reason for this is when other people votes, they can get a better idea of what the char/RP is about)
-Voting will take place at the end of the nomination period!!
-One nomination gets a member into the voting thread. Multiple nominations do not hold any more sway, so if you'd like to avoid nominating someone already on the list, check the submitted nominations first.
-Please do not clutter this thread with chatter. If you'd like to chat about the awards, you can do that here.
So, without further ado...

Basically, we’re looking to recognize the best GM that RPA has to offer.

17. Best supporting character
A supporting character is a character in a narrative that is not focused on by the primary storyline, but appears or is mentioned in the story enough to be more than just a minor character or a cameo appearance. Supporting characters may be lovers, guides, nemeses, mentors and more, and they can even develop a complex back-story of their own. They bring their own impact into the story and are remembered for it.
