[color=00aeef][b](Updated as of [u]2016/01/05[/u])[/b][/color][h3][color=ed1c24][b]SHOP CLOSED. NOT ACCEPTING PARTNERS AT THE MOMENT.[/b][/color][/h3] [hr] [center][i]"Welcome to [b]Tsukune's Roleplay Cafe[/b], and bless your curious little soul."[/i][/center] As you enter this shifty-looking shop, you are greeted by a masked waiter. He shows you to an empty table and hands you a menu in black: [quote][hider=About the Owner]Username here is [b]Tsukune[/b], but I'm mostly known as [b]Tsubasa[/b] in other parts of cyberspace. You may call me [b]Tsu[/b]. [b]High-casual to advanced roleplayer[/b] who has about 3-4 years of experience on/off. Before RPing I have some decent writing skills honed from writing fanfics and original novels alike. I can do mid-casual on request; or if I'm having writer's block. I have played male and female characters before - so far no one has any major issues with how I portray the two sexes, I can safely say [b]I'm able to play both genders[/b]. Also, I have zero interest in your real gender - [s]all I care about is your character(s)' gender[/s] as long as you can play your characters well, gender doesn't really matter, right? Paring wise, [b]MxF for romantic relationship; platonic for MxM and FxF[/b], only fluff or humor/teasing or one-sided crush (you play the character who likes mine but my character isn't returning the feelings) if you really want to go down the gutter because I can't play homo realistically. I'm also fine with sibling-complexes, but let me know if you're uncomfortable with incest. Currently only interested in [b]1x1[/b] or [b]small group[/b] (max foursome) RPs. [b]For fandoms I'll only play OCs.[/b] I don't want to be constantly paranoid about the possible danger of going out of character every time it's my turn to post something, and that anxiety will eventually kill all the excitement I originally had for the RP. Not that I'm not capable of playing canon characters, but it will be on a case-by-case basis. [b]English isn't my first language[/b] but I do make efforts to proofread my posts, even backdated ones. Please pardon the occasional typos if I missed them out during the editing. [b]Posting frequency: my schedule is pretty erratic, so about 1-2 posts per week; do expect longer delays[/b] if my real life decides to torture me more than it should. If you see me online often, that's because I'm on the phone checking PMs and OOCs. [b]I'm not going to - and I will never - type out an entire IC on a [i]damned[/i] mobile.[/b] [b]My timezone is GMT +8[/b], so if I'm not online I'm most likely in bed - or if I have last-minute deadlines, I'll be at the workspace battlefield. I'm a sucker for humor - from silly puns to dark sarcasm, so feel free to strike up random chats with me in the OOCs or PMs. I mean, RPing is supposed to be fun, right? It's boring if the OOC is as business-like and serious as *insert anything you can think of here* RL...[/hider] [hider=What I'm Looking for in My Partner][b]I'll only roleplay through threads[/b] - most preferred because it's more organized - plus in the past when I tried using PMs it's a total mess. [b]Strictly no IMs such as Skype, etc.[/b] I don't ask for - and I don't need to know - your true age. To me, the numerical value of your age isn't a definite indicator of your maturity level: a 12-year-old who can take constructive criticism with grace and gratitude is definitely more mature than a 30-year-old who bites back with egoistic bitterness. [b]I have no problems with violence/gore and profanity, but nothing over the top[/b] like having the character to swear at practically everyone and everything every single time. However, [b]I'm not fond of sex[/b] - no I'm not squeamish about it and I am already of age, but I see this as fan service and serves very little to no purpose in plot and character development. If there is really a serious need to go that far, [b]fade to black - this is non-negotiable[/b]. [b]What you give me is what I'll give you[/b] - I don't need you to return my 6-paragraph post with the same length, but at least I expect you to write a decent IC with enough information for me to work on my next post. Of course, if you're those who can write like a book I'll welcome you with a big hug! If needed, do be prepared to do lots of collaborative writing. [b]I do not entertain one-liners and chatspeak.[/b] [b]I'm not a language Nazi - everyone makes mistakes[/b] - but that doesn't mean you can dump me with horrendous writing so bad that it can burn my eyes, or simply look like random gibberish to me. [b]I do not appreciate wasting my precious time trying to decipher your wall of typos when it's your job to clean that up.[/b] I like roleplayers who are meticulous and take pride in their own writing; if you feel that I'm being overly demanding with regards to this, then I'm sorry to say I'm not a suitable candidate to roleplay with you. [b]Contribute and communicate - it takes two hands to clap.[/b] I know my brain can be wacky enough to cook up all sorts of weird plot ideas, but I don't want the RP to be a one-person show. I'm hoping to have long-term partners to collaborate with not just one, but many more future projects together. It's very important to iron out any misunderstandings before they snowball to something disastrous - the last thing I need is a nasty fallout and part ways with a sour aftertaste. [b]I don't expect speedy responses from you - we all have a real life to deal with, like it or not, and I myself am snail-slow at replying[/b] - but if you're kind enough to pop me a message if you're going to be away battling against reality, I'll also do the same to you. If you disappear for more than a month, I shall assume that you're no longer interested in the RP and I reserve the rights to reboot my plot ideas with other players instead. For 1x1s, please be comfortable to do doubling (max 2 characters for each of us) and be prepared for [s]an army of[/s] NPCs to help push the RP forward.[/hider] [hider=Samples] [list][*][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/86059]IC #1[/url] [*][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2967909]IC #2[/url] [*][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3111524]IC #3[/url][/list] [list][*][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2898819]CS #1[/url] [*][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2890474]CS #2[/url] [*][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2898814]CS #3[/url][/list] [/hider][/quote] As you reach the end of the menu, your eyes pause at the curvy, golden letters at the foot of the last page: [quote][i]Please pay the bill (either drop me a PM or @mention me here) by indicating the roleplay idea/setting /genre you want to partake and include a sample of your IC writing. [b]Please also remember to acknowledge that you have read through the black menu.[/b] If you feel that you still do not have what it takes, or that we are simply as different as night and day, thank you for reading this far and I wish you all the best in search for the partner(s) you've been looking for.[/i][/quote] The waiter now passes you two other menus - red and white - and awaits your first/next order...
