[h3][i]About[/i][/h3]
[indent]Hello! Raven, here. I am a freshman in college, and I have been roleplaying for roughly around 8 or 9 years. Currently, I am on the prowl for a [color=darkgray][i]one-on-one[/i][/color] roleplay, and I have several plots in mind, mainly centering on the [color=darkgray][i]modern, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and apocalyptic[/i][/color] genres. (Of course, if you have any suggestions of your own, please bring them to the table. I might like them!) I also love conlanging, so I may slip in a bit of my conlang into the roleplay at some point.

I seek a partner who is optimally [color=darkgray][i]around my age or older[/i][/color]. I am open to friendship and many out-of-character conversations, but it is not a requirement. If it is not your cup of tea, I completely understand. One thing I may ask is that you be interested in [color=darkgray][i]world-building, lore, and character development.[/i][/color] If there is anything, anything at all, which excites me, it is a roleplay partner who knows what they are after from a story and who has an acquired taste for depth in storytelling.

As for writing skills, I do not expect that you be a grammarian or an English teacher, but I would prefer someone who has enough [color=darkgray][i]control of language and grammar[/i][/color] to communicate effectively and maintain my interest. So please, cross your T's and dot your I's, and remember, at minimum, the most basic English grammar. I would prefer we have [color=darkgray][i]at least one paragraph per post[/i][/color], but shorter is fine as long as it is necessary. We can also collaborate in Google Docs or on TitanPad if the particular scene is dialogue heavy. And remember to reply [color=darkgray][i]at least once or twice a week![/i][/color]

To summarize:
[list][*]One-on-one
[*]Modern, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and/or apocalyptic
[*]18 or older
[*]World-building, lore, character development
[*]Control of language and grammar
[*]One paragraph per post minimum
[*]One or two replies per week minimum[/list][/indent][h3][i]Ideas[/i][/h3]
[indent]Have some ideas on your own? Tell me about them! Any of my ideas can also be alternatively twisted into a romance-friendly version. (Also: I'm [i]very[/i] gay and [i]very[/i] sappy. Be ready.) Disclaimer:[/indent][hider=Disclaimer][i]Should[/i] we ever go that direction, I have to warn you that although I have no problem writing any kind of [i]romantic[/i] action, I struggle with non-M/M 'scenes.' I'm flexible if I really like the character dynamic, but please do not push me to do more than I am comfortable with in that regard. Another thing: [color=f7976a][i]do not ask for that if you are under 18.[/i][/color] I am [color=ed145b][i]not[/i][/color] doing anything risqué with a minor. If you want to do something of that nature, PM me with questions.[/hider]
[b]Imperial Dissonance[/b]
[i]Genre:[/i] Hard science fiction, semi-modern, political
[indent][color=DarkGray][i][b]Cognitive dissonance[/b] is the discomfort which occurs when one encounters stimuli which challenges their existing thoughts and beliefs. Festinger once theorized that humans experience cognitive dissonance as a result of their demand for internal consistency. This gives man two choices: to fight or to adapt.

It is the twelve-thousand-and-fifty-seventh year of the Human Era. The United States, despite political turmoil, thrives economically. The next course of action for American society is always a contentious topic. Still, a lot has changed in the post 40 years. The country sits on the bleeding edge of STEM fields, and the federal government has pulled its influence from the public sphere and has ushered in a free market utopia, bringing trade and consumerism to unprecedented heights. But not everyone is satisfied with this future; tension lies on the horizon as enemies of the United States gear for a war on a massive scale, and nationalist outcries among the people echo again as they have in every age. College student, wannabe revolutionary, ambitious, and well-rounded engineer Garus Arrow does not find joy in the current status quo — he pities it.[/i][/color][/indent]

[b]To the Stars[/b]
[i]Genre:[/i] High fantasy
[indent][color=DarkGray][i]The Linking profession is highly coveted in the upper echelons of this land's society. They are called sorcerers, mages, wizards, and such in common tongues, and they draw from the veil of clandestine powers and energies to perform great feats of magic. Such a job requires intense study and long-term apprenticeship, and few have the privilege to study under a skilled Linker - this is reserved for the rich and powerful. The heir to a line of wealthy entrepreneurs and a member of a high class of socialites and elites, Darxin aspires to be a great Linker himself. His arrogance and his quickness to anger keep him from succeeding in this unforgiving and challenging field, but he is determined to learn. He will stop at nothing to achieve his dream. Prince Faluin III will not stand for the profession of Linking, however, and he intends to end the practice as soon as he usurps the throne from his father and begin conquest upon other nations.[/i][/color][/indent]
