[center]Hey! I'm seeking a Mass Effect based RP with [u]OCs in an alternate universe[/u], not canon characters replaying the [i]same[/i] storyline. Within this parallel universe I could play Shepard and/or OC companions, We could have pairings such as Mercenary x Asari Justicar. Spectre x Biotic, etc, or play an alternate Shep and/or OC companions with canon companions acting as NPCs. If this strikes your fancy please keep reading:[/center] [b]Guidelines for My Ideal Partner:[/b] [indent]- Please type 3 or more paragraphs for me to work with. I'm a sucker for immersion and longer introductions, too.[/indent] [indent]- Reply twice a week, and let me know if you lose interest or become busy instead of ditching. Have a little courtesy.[/indent] [indent]- Communication is key, so don't be shy. Tell me what you like, want to change, etc, and I'll happily accommodate your desires![/indent] [indent]- Quality writing inspires me! Juicy descriptions, decent grammar, characters with emotions and flaws - that sort of thing.[/indent] [indent]- This will take place over PMs. I enjoy tastefully written mature themes in every RP, be it violence, romance, etc.[/indent] [center]Finally, a list of what I [b]like and dislike ------>[/b][/center] [hider=Preferences][b]YES PLEASE:[/b] Various things I enjoy in a story, partner and character - A dedicated co-writer who contributes to the plot and character development - Multiple paragraphs per post with decent grammar and juicy descriptions - Dark and gritty RPs with a lighter side. Completely fluffy PG 13 stories bore me though - My characters are often strong willed women - Tasteful mature themes - I don't fade to black nor do I want smut. - Kidnapping, hurt/comfort, blackmail, arranged marriage and other scenarios - Emotional connection between characters - Tattoos, scars, and piercings - Violence isn't a requirement but it should be well written if it occurs - Light blood play with vampires - Substance addiction, grey morals, a dark past - Secret affection - Class taboo in historical settings - Race taboo in fantasy settings - Romance and affection - Stockings, corsets, period clothing in general - Role reversal and power play - Sentient monsters and supernatural creatures [b]MAYBE:[/b] Possible under certain circumstances. - I dislike stereotypical submissive characters who are clumsy, weak, etc. Meekness is fine but have a backbone! - FxF - Pregnancy - Adultery, multiple partners. I'm a serial monogamist with few exceptions [b]NO THANKS:[/b] This doesn't tickle my fancy, please don't ask. - Purely "evil" characters seem to have no character development - Poor grammar, short posts, god-modding - Smut, dirty talk, and extreme fetishes such as heavy bondage (light is okay), S&M, degradation, bathroom play, harems, etc - Incest, MxM, zombie apocalypse, or Twilight inspired RPs - "Slice of life" RPs with co-workers, celebrity romances, teacher/student, that sort of thing.[/hider] [center]Make sure we're compatible before [u]sending me a PM[/u], and include a writing sample if possible (I'm happy to do the same). If you want details or clarification on please [u]don't hesitate to ask[/u]![/center]
