The Intro




It's been a long while since I've roleplayed, and I recently realized that I miss it terribly. So. Hello! :D

I don't believe in rules. Really, I don't. Just don't be a jerk, and we'll get on fine. Lucky you; I'm skipping the usual "rules" section I see so often.

That said: I consider myself a writer. I've spent the better part of the last ten years getting kind of decent at it. I'd say I'm somewhere between "probably adequate" and "pretty okay". I wrote a novel, and I self-published it, and a few of my friends liked it, so I've got that going for me, which is nice. The point is: I love characters, I love creating them, I love throwing them in ridiculous situations, and god knows I love torturing them. I will happily write pages of background or character description or dialogue if you'd like me to. (Case in point: this post is rather lengthy because I don't know when to shut up. sorrynotsorry)
Sidebar: I like grammar and punctuation a lot; I think it's neat, and its rules continue confuse and amaze me. How the hell did English get this far with so many nonsensical rules? "I before E, except after C"? Ha!



The Preferences




I am willing to try anything once. Well, given I have the faintest familiarity with the setting. So, for example, that super cool anime that you watch that no one's heard of because it's not mainstream yet? Yeah, I don't know it either, and I am sorry for that, because I'm sure it's really quite something, but I cannot reliably RP in that setting. I mean, sure, I'll give it my best shot, but you'll likely cringe at how much I destroy the fundamentals of the setting.

My favorite thing about any story is the characters. So as long as you have at least one interesting character, I'll be having fun. Hopefully so will you.

I have a few plots that I'd like to mess around with (listed and summarized below). Spoiler: I might be working on novels with these premises. So if you want to RP any of them, and our RP happens to give me inspiration, I will first ask your permission to put it in the novel, and then definitely give you credit in the acknowledgements. Who knows? Maybe we'll end up co-authoring and I'll offer to split the profits with you.

I can play both male and female characters, and will more than likely play both. All I ask is that you do not force me to play one particular gender because you really wanted to play the other. I'm probably going to play characters of both genders anyway. Just don't open up a message to me with, "I want to play a female, can you play male?" Because the answer will be, "I mean, yeah, okay." But I won't be happy about it. :U

Ah, and I don't care about mature content. I'm an adult, I can handle it, I promise. Probably. I'm also fine with any kind of pairing; mxf, mxm, fxf, or... any others I might not currently be aware of are all fine. They happen in real life; why not on the page?



The Timing




Sidebar: I like to ramble. Have you noticed?
I also like conversations a lot, so don't be afraid to have a conversation with me OOC. Even if you want to drop the RP because it isn't interesting you anymore, I'm still more than happy to carry on a conversation with you. Interest comes and goes; I'm not fragile, and I won't mind too terribly if you lose yours.

I can make no solid promises on "long term", mostly because who can really define that, anyway? "Long term" might be a month, or it might be four years. So: no promises from me on planning anything "long term". Want to RP for a week, then never speak again? k. Want to spend the next ten years plotting a riveting tale with twists at every turn and lore to make Tolkien drool? k.
I'm pretty easygoing. Did you picked up on that yet?

I'll try to respond at least once a day, likely more if you can keep me interested. I'm a student, and I work part-time. Also there are a lot of video games to play, and they aren't just going to play themselves. So I'm not online constantly. That said, if you think I've forgotten about you, just send me a gentle reminder. Something like, "Hey jerk, did you forget about me?" would do nicely.

Did I mention I like writing? I don't have a limit on the number of RPs I'll take on, so send me a message any time and I'll happily work something out with you.



The Settings and Genres




Okay, okay: finally, here's a non-exhaustive list of various genres and settings I'm willing to RP in. Like I said earlier, though: I'll try anything. If you've got a plot you want to try out, lay it on me. If you've been craving something but you don't see it on my list, shoot me a message.
Anything marked with a && has a plot to go with it (below), but of course we do not have to use that plot.
I'll add to the list as I think of things. It's pretty sparse right now, admittedly.

Also, you'll notice I didn't include anything like "human x angel" or "vampire x werewolf" or anything based solely on a pairing. I'm up for any pairing, so it seemed like a waste of time to list them out. This list is mostly about settings I'm willing to work in. Within these settings, I'll be happy to discuss any types of pairings you'd like to try.

Medieval/Historical

  • Fantasy &&

    • this includes magic, elves, giants, dwarves, any other fantastical race; any combination of these, or anything else similar
    • this also includes any kind of alternate past, eg, one where witches were real and things like the Salem witch trials just pissed them off so they rose up and now rule humanity
  • Time travel :: eg, modern person thrown into past, person from past thrown into modern times


Modern

  • Supernatural :: Not the show; just like general supernatural stuff like vampires or demons or ghosts or this is really starting to sound like the show. You know what I mean.
  • College :: Not so much a "slice of life" thing, but I'm up for using the setting. Pitch me something interesting.
  • Superheroes/villians :: Like the Marvel or DC stuff. ...okay, that sounds uneducated; I'm actually quite a big fan of the MCU. I mean some kind of superhero organization, like Shield, or the Justice League, etc.
  • any kind of superpower thing, actually


Alternate Reality / Future

  • Zombie Apocalypse &&
  • Robot Apocalypse
  • ...any kind of apocalypse, really
  • Rogue AI &&
  • Magic in our world :: I'm thinking more like elemental mages rather than wizards like in Harry Potter, but anything's fine, really. I'm a big HP fan, so god knows I'm not going to cut that out of the list of possibilities.
  • SPACE! :: Colonies on other planets, a ship carrying the last remnants of humanity, etc.


Fandom

  • Overwatch
  • Fallout
  • Dragon Age
  • Mass Effect
  • Skyrim




The Plots




Mostly these are brief synopses. If you want any more information, or want to discuss changes to any of them, or just want to know more, definitely let me know!









The Closing




Regardless of any plans you do or don't have to contact me, I hope this finds you well, and I hope you have a wonderful day/night/etc. c:

@coshie Okay so I've read like the first two sections and I like you a lot already? Let me finish reading this and then we can negotiate. <3 Probably can't start anything until next week, because I owe people things and I'm only half-coherent what with being sick, but I LIKE YOU AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS!

I want to play a female, can you play male?
Ahem. Apologies, I simply could not resist. Anyhoo, you seem pretty rad! I'd be plenty willing to try out something with you, if you're willing to give me a try. Rogue AI in particular caught my eye, but that there fantasy plot resonated with one of my character, and I'm generally open to anything fantasy or sci-fi. I also have a jumble of plot ideas of my own I'd be willing to pitch, if you're interested. I, too, am someone that cherishes characters over plot, and honestly just having published an actual novel makes you an inspiration to me, just a young lad with dreams of being an established author.

Anyhoo, that's enough of my rambling! If you're down to work with me, just scream at me in any capacity.

@coshie

Hello, I was hoping you were still looking for a partner for the "300 mile magical zombie trip" story. It reminds me of the anime "Highschool of the Dead", which I'll be very upset if you never heard of it (not really). I can play multiple characters of any gender, but my main character tends to be male. Also, I am an adult who is trying to write a book series, so mature themes are just fine with me.

I would also be happy doing a story based in "Marvel Comics", maybe combining the two and found our own version of the "Marvel Zombies" storyline.

I hope to get a pm from you and maybe see if we can get a story built together.

Too busy to pick up another 1x1 project right now, but I'm subscribing to this thread in the hopes that when I'm not, you won't be either.

You quoted my favorite Bill Murray movie, and in addition, when you say you "like grammar," I can tell that you sincerely mean it. There are self-proclaimed pedants around here who don't know the difference between "it's" and "its," and who don't know when or when not to place the question mark inside the quotations.

So I guess at the moment this is just a free bump for a totally wonderful IntChk.

Hey there Coshie. We should RP sometime, you seem pretty laid back. Pick one of your RP cravings and I'm in...just not post-apocalypse RP as I'm already in Pugbutter's post-apocalypse RP.
