Hey y'all, thanks for dropping by to take a gander at my humble little interest check.

The first thing I'd like to get out of the way is that roleplaying is a hobby; it's not supposed to feel mentally exhausting or obligatory. Your existence behind the screen comes first. If the thought of replying is filling you with dread instead of excitement, let me know. I'll be perfectly fine if you decide to discontinue the roleplay or start a new one. I promise I will do the same, and you promise that you won't take offence if I decide to drop a roleplay for whatever reason (even if it happens that we're only into the first few posts). Not every partnership works out, unfortunate as it may be, and I'm not going to give you the whole it's-not-you-it's-me spiel (even if it probably is me). Cool?

Cool.

Now, then, please look over the following guidelines (they're important, and I'll know if you haven't read them):

Me

- Female, 18+ (but open to playing male characters).
- Roleplays through PMs.
- Over 10 years' worth of writing/roleplaying experience (on various sites).
- Post length averages 2-3 paragraphs, longer for introductions (but I am capable of writing more if particularly inspired).
- Usual response time averages 2-3 days, but I usually try for quicker.
- Tends to play tomboyish female characters (when playing female). Not always, but mostly.
- Fond of dark, gritty and realistic themes.
- Sometimes very busy, but will let you know when I am.
- Seriously patient; I have waited a few months to over a year for roleplay partners before.

You

- Are over 18.
- Will roleplay through PMs.
- Roleplay within the high casual-advanced bracket.
- Will manage at least one large paragraph per post.
- Are able to inform me when things get busy/when you will be unable to reply for a week or more (I will do the same; no need to provide a reason - "I'm busy" will suffice).
- Will inform me politely if you get bored or wish to drop the roleplay (again, I will return the favor). This is important because it makes me (really) sad when I start excitedly refreshing the page and get nothing. I can deal with roleplay drops, just tell me, for the sake of everything good and beautiful.
- Are comfortable with mature content which may or may not include violence, sexual themes and profanity. No fade-to-blacks, just to be clear.
- Will assist me in progressing the plot, and will not rely solely on my singular efforts.
- Will play characters aged at the very least 17 (or the average age of a high school senior); preferably older.
- Will not play the "damsel-in-distress" archetype, female or male version (nope, nuh-uh, nein, nyet, no).
- Are amiable, polite and pleasant to interact with OOC.

Our RP

- Will likely include romance between characters, but only as a secondary aspect. Main plot comes first.
- Can be FxM or MxM.
- Will not be constant, repetitive and plotless smut/PWP. There are (ahem) other places for that.
- Will emphasize quality over quantity; I'd rather a paragraph of excellent writing than a page of error-riddled, indecipherable letters.
- Will involve shared, additional characters.

Genres

- Modern
- Crime
- Fantasy (Medieval/Urban)
- Science Fiction
- Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic
- Dystopian/Cyberpunk
- Horror/Survival Horror
- Historical

Fandoms

OCs only, no canons; I'll only do fandoms if you give me a really awesome plot, as I much prefer original roleplays.

- Dragon Age
- Mass Effect
- Star Wars: The Old Republic

Concepts

- Hunger Games/Battle Royale-ish kill-or-be-killed situation
- Memories of a deceased person transferred into another person (sci-fi setting strongly preferred)
- Something to do with human cloning, similar to Orphan Black (which I've never actually watched) or The Island
- Something to do with humans establishing a colony/living amongst dinosaurs (like Terra Nova or Jurassic Park)
- An Indiana Jones-type deal about two adventurers/treasure hunters going into some forsaken jungle in search of (possibly cursed) artifacts
- An astronaut recovered by an alien scouting vessel, and subsequently brought back to the aliens' homeworld
- Disaster movie scenario where survival is the main objective

Pairings

Not too enthusiastic about the supernatural pairings at the moment (vampires and werewolves, in particular), but will likely do it if you have a good plot idea to push.

More will be added as they come to mind. In the meantime, if you're interested in possibly whipping up some kind of plot, drop me a PM because forgetful old me neglects to check threads. In addition, everything listed above is not the ultimate limit, so if you have a craving of your own (that isn't listed), feel free to run it by me. I will also state for the record that some of the pairings above need a good plot to keep the roleplay from dying, and dying fast. So - once again - go ahead and shoot me a PM, or browse other threads in this section, or grab some pizza, or organize a dance party, or, well...just have a wonderful day!

P.S.: I really, really sometimes forget to check my threads and realize people have posted only days or even weeks after, so PM me please.

Peace out.

Ooh :3 I like it. And here's what I like:

Mulan plot (we can PM ideas)
Mercenaries are cool
Soldiers are cool too.

I like researching culture, so my character may or may not be foreign.

If you wanna RP, feel free to PM me :3
