I don't understand what is confusing you.
anything OTHER THAN direct contact with fire causes them to make evil plots. Direct contact with fire is death.

Hundreds of years ago, close to the heart of every land there lay a gleaming tower of white that soared high above the clouds. When the denizens of this tower, the Phari, custodians of the light, were called to arms, the light from the top of the tower could be seen across the world.
Fifteen years ago, the ancient lord Shadowscythe rose from his tomb to wreak havoc. Though he was put to rest once again, his army demolished the largest of the white towers, bringing it to ruins and killing thousands in the surrounding areas. Those who remained of the Phari fled or were killed by rioters. The remaining towers eventually followed.
Only four Phari remained.
Today, the world slowly burns to ash, the demon lord Marchosias leads his armies across the land on a mad quest of destruction. Now, gathered at a bar, the Phari return to their homeland, in the Elvish isles, but they seek to swell their ranks again.

The Snake’s Hand
With the white towers lying in ruin, the Phari have used what little funds they have to buy out the upper floor of the Snake’s Hand tavern, making it their base of operations for now. Located east of Lartharieel city, The Snake’s Hand is central to the Elvish highlands.
The upper floor consists of four bunking rooms, each with several beds and generous storage, a study (used as a war room), and several empty rooms.
The lower floor consists of a bar.

My two cents:
Stating your character's name is an easy way to let everybody else know who you are.
Age- What's the use of stating one's age? Simply based on somebody's age, you can tell how wise/experienced they probably are, their general appearance, intelligence, and what psychological stage of development they're at. An age and a name alone can give you a very rough idea of a character, let you know things that can't possibly be known in a single post. Unless of course the RPer chooses to forego all this.
Appearance- You talk a lot about letting things happen naturally, but writing your characters appearance casually throughout a post adds some unnecessary bulk unless done correctly. Putting your appearance down beforehand allows other RPers to make observations about your character without you having to needlessly force them into your text.
Personality- Actually, I perfectly agree with you on this. Writing your personality down is pretty stupid.
Skills- Can be hit/miss. You get a bit off topic by talking about Mary Sues, but writing down your skills can actually be used to give you a set of limitations. If you're good at, say, Cooking, Swimming, Shooting, Writing and Fishing, then later on if you go 'In the sword-fight I easily overpowered X with my superior sword skills' then everybody knows you're talking bs, because it's not something you're skilled at. Again, this allows for presets without needlessly cramming info into a post.
Biography- Only useful writing one's biography in certain settings, otherwise, agreed.
Equipment- This is more tradition than anything else. In oldschool RP's this was necessary. Still useful if RPer's remember to update them constantly, but that's a lot of effort for something that changes constantly. Mainly just used to give an idea of starting items.
Theme Song- Agreed. If people want to give their a character a theme-song, I can understand that. But it's not necessary or required info.
You also mention so many stereotypes I can't even begin to understand where that much hatred and stigma comes from.
You're hipster-ish 'don't-conform-to-the-standard' weirdness is mostly just unnecessary hatred of something that is mainly a useful tool for the OP and other players.
And it takes a lot more skill to create an interesting, engaging character with an app than it does a single post.

The golem listened to Vaelen's responses and then returned in kind. Before Vaelen could carry the conversation further, however, they reached the bottom of the staircase. Drim, clearly a leader of sorts, addressed a witch. After their conversation ended, the witch summoned more skeletal beasts. Skellingkings.
The seven skeletal beasts immediately picked one target each and charged. Before his foe had even taken five steps, Vaelen drew his crossbow and fired right into it's skull. Though the shot did not quite hit Vaelen's intended target, it did manage to crack the skellingking's jaw. Six more steps, another shot, straight into it's upper left rib this time. Vaelen could see tiny fractures where his shots had landed. Seven more steps, and another shot, to the left of the first, causing tiny pieces of bone to fragment and splinter from the creature's jaw. With no more time to fire, Vaelen cast his crossbow upon his back and unsheathed his daggers, jumping back to avoid a massive swing from the beast of bones.
Dodging every blow possible, Vaelen weaved in and out, focused solely on avoiding the skellingking's strikes. Finally, the beasts weapon struck against stone. Using the time granted to him, Vaelen brought up his foot against the creatures jaw, splitting it in half completely, before bringing his blade down against the damaged rib, breaking that too. The skellingking responded by thrusting what may have been an elbow into his leg and pushing him away, giving it ample time to recover.
The skellingking restarted it's assault, but was more careful this time. For a re-animated beast, it learns rather well. But Vaelen quickly figured out a new trick; the creature wasn't nearly as nimble as he was, and might just be light enough for him to budge. he weaved under the beast and then brought himself up. Heaving, Vaelen is barely strong enough to flip the beast on it's back. As the beast attempts to scramble up, Vaelen leaps onto it, sheathing his blades and beating the thing with his fists, brutally smashing the soft parts of the bones until, battered and broken, the creature smashes Vaelen's head, knocking him back. But as the beast slowly puts itself upright, Vaelen slams into it with every ounce of strength he has, smashing it's rib cage and sending pieces of it flying off the edge of the platform where they clatter against the floor. Vaelen takes a second to lie down, his head pounding from the force of the creature's blow.

I remember making one post. Don't remember that though.

From what little of it I've read, it fluctuates.

Y'know when we said your jokes are terrible?
On no earth is that a funny joke. It's an insult intended to provoke and shame. You were trying to make us feel guilty for things we haven't done, I.E antagonise you. It's fairly obvious that two out of two times you've been antagonistic, you've used the same excuse of it being a joke. Now if you haven't lied at least one of those times, I have never used a computer.
Furthermore; you are completely ignoring everything else that has been said, which says to me that you have no response, and are focusing on the things you can weasel your way out of.

Oh damn, sorry! I'll be able to post tomorrow, sorry for making people wait again! D:

This is kind of my point. Nobody said you couldn't join, you've made that up. You're projecting; putting your feelings onto us to make us antagonists.
Hush. Stop it. Calm down. If you want to stay just stop going 'Boohoo, you mean.' Generally speaking, people don't want you around when you tell them they're horrible people.

It's purely steampunk. No Atompunk elements.
Detective elements are also a major part.

We're doing steampunk, not Sci-Fi?

Dinosaur's have been around for about a year (....) and I have yet to see a single dinosaur RP that makes any sense, or is of discernible quality.
Fanfic RP's are rarely any good. They're always either too focused on existing content, or they make their own fanfics by destroying the universe and doing whatever they want. (Also that's 5 Existing fiction RP's.... Pokemon is existing fiction.)

.... I would, but I don't know what.
