I don't get it.
What's the point?

By far this is the best RP I've seen in years.

Name: Bill Dawkins
Age: 68
Personality: Vibrant yet reserved, colorful yet bleak, flowing yet controlled. Well mannered and intelligent, but sociable.
Background: Born in England inside a petrol station's WC to a Hungarian professional didgeridoo player and a Scottish part-time prostitute part-time real estate agent. To this day no one knows which one is the mother or father.
Weaponry: A walking stick.

name: Theodore
age: 786 years
pirsonalty: A cocky, annoying Pickle, who will do anything to make a joke.
backround: A large Pickle born from two old peanuts. His parents died at the age of 6, leaving Theodore to fend for himself in a doggy dog world.
arms: A giant, floppy Pickle

cardbird, I hope you can learn a thing or two from this.

In case you haven't noticed, not many people have joined your RP. There is a reason for this, not just that no one likes you. I respect the fact that you made a creative and rather original RP but there are three crucial aspects lacking from it.

Firstly, no one will take your RP seriously if it is riddled with misspelled words, incorrect punctuation, and illogical grammar. That might be accepted in the American education system (I'm American so I can say that) but if you want people to genuinely consider your RP for joining, then having correct grammar is absolutely essential. I realize you may not have spell check on your internet browser but for anyone to take you serious you must take the extra time to go over what you have written and fix all your spelling errors, put punctuation in it's place, and all that good stuff you were taught in school. If your having trouble using correct grammar, try reading some of the post from the RP "The Demon Of Knowledge", by Arch-Mage Matt. You can always send a message to me or practically anyone else here if you'd like a pointer or two in correct grammar and spelling.

In addition, although personally I believe having an original RP is better than using a build many people have used before, most people here would like to play an RP from which they can draw a point of reference, such as an RP based on the Elder Scrolls series. This can also be related to "The Demon Of Knowledge", which is one of the most successful RP's this forum has had in a good while. It is based on the Elder Scrolls series, and thus it draws a much stronger crowd.

Finally, one major aspect that will get your RP noticed more is having an original character sheet. Having the basic "Name, Age, Personality, History/Bio, Weapons" layout will make your RP seem like every other RP out there, and will be overlooked more than likely.

So my advice to you is to reconsider your plot for an RP, work on having better grammar, try using a universe that people will be familiar with (Fallout, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, Halo, and Call of Duty are all good choices), and perhaps make a character sheet that is different than most RP's.
