[b]Give me your character and I will build a world for her.[/b]
Right now I really miss being a moderator. I love latching onto small details and weaving them into greater and more elaborate plots. I love it when characters take a turn I didn't expect, and the plot gets redrawn from a different angle. What's different here, though, is that I will tailor settings, NPCs and plotlines to the character, never the other way around.

Please be aware that you'll probably have to abandon everything you thought you knew about the world your character lives in. As the moderator, I have to be deeply familiar with the setting: that's not possible if I feel like I'm trying to play out your concepts. The easiest way to ensure no one is left behind is the "Voyage and Return" basic plot. In other words, your character starts out normally enough, but through a series of choices finds himself in places and situations he never imagined.

[b]I lean toward fantasy settings.[/b]
Personally, I'm happiest in a low-tech world with at least a potential for magic. Medieval and Steampunk are favorites, but the right character might convince me otherwise. Go crazy, or stay very subdued. Any culture, any landscape.

[b]If you're interested, post a character here.[/b]
I can't guarantee that we'll end up rping together, so you may not want to put a whole lot of effort into it, but this part is important. Give me a concept of a character that you would LOVE to play -- and I mean absolutely LOVE -- and tell me why you love her. If I love him too, we might have an amazing story to write together.

I'd also be up for modding up to two players in the same thread. If by some miracle more than one person posts here, feel free to poke each other too.

Some ground rules:
[indent][*][b]No romance.[/b] If romance develops naturally in the story, great! But let's go in with the assumption that it's never gonna happen.[/*]
[*][b]No superpowers.[/b] Your fireballs and your badass weapons are fun and cool, but please leave them at the door. Please remember: the more talented the character, the harder it is to challenge him. Also be aware that my plots rarely involve combat.[/*]
[*][b]No angst.[/b] Angst is fun in moderation, but consistently miserable characters and miserable plotlines make me cranky.[/*]
[*][b]No monologues.[/b] Writing for the sake of upping your paragraph count, while impressive, is useless to the plot. I'd rather have one meaningful paragraph than ten pages of flowery meaninglessness. Two to four paragraphs is the sweet spot, though if you're truly inspired please do write longer.[/*]
[*][b]No compromises.[/b] If you're not entirely happy with my style or my preferences, or you discover a few posts in that you hate the rp, say something. Realize that I will do the same. It's not fair to either of us if one of us isn't into it.[/*][/indent]

[b]And finally![/b]
Now that I've strutted about and boasted of magic worldbuilding powers, I'm not as sure of myself as all that. I ask a lot of questions -- an annoyingly long list of questions -- and I hope you don't mind being asked!
