Hello there! I am Anoiing, or Anoi, semi-new to the forums, not to RP however, with about 8-9 years experience (and still learning, amazingly!) To get to the point, I'm searching for an RP partner to simply... well, write with! Weave a story, develop a character, improve writing and character design, and such. I currently have a full-time 9-5 job, and am at the gym regularly as real-life comes first (and I'd expect it to come first from anyone I rp with.) The truth of the matter is, I will reply as much as I can, which should be fairly regular. I won't be, and won't expect, a constant daily stream of 10 + posts, it just can't happen from my end. Any long absences will, of course, be forewarned, however! For this reason, while I -can- write pages and pages of text, I'd be grateful if my potential partner is happy with 2-3 paragraphs, as this is where I am most comfortable. Small enough to keep replies reasonably fast, big enough to have some decent description and dialogue! If that nit-pickery hasn't scared you off, some ground-work about what I enjoy and what I don't, hopefully they'll be similar to yourselves! I'll get the deal breakers for most out of the way; Sci-Fi and Accurate Historical RP's are not my thing. I can't do them any justice. Same goes with fandom RP's. (Pokemon, MAYBE. Maybe Digimon...?) This should be obvious, but don't God-Mod or Meta-Game. Don't take control of my OC's, that's what they've got me for. Don't use anything we might have discussed OOC in IC if your character has no way of knowing it. It's annoying at best. Sue characters are not fun to read or interact with. I don't ERP. I do rp mature themes, addiction, murder, swearing, drugs, gritty stuff. OC's, if the relation is headed that way, are free to do the dirty; it'll just be a fade to black case for me. You better be able to tell the difference between IC and OOC interactions. I don't mean like, OOC is in brackets or anything like that, either. Way too often do I find people taking offence over my nastier, meanie OC's. They might not like your OC, that's life, deal with it, they're nasty, that's realistic. It doesn't mean I'm personally orchestrating them to jab at you via your OC. (In fact, if you think someone's OC being nasty to yours is anything to do with how that player feels about you, hit the back button now. No way am I dealing with overly sensitive kiddy-drama-llama's. Sorry for the bluntness, but just... n o. ) I didn't think I'd have to post this one but uh... I don't do instant romance. I always think it's much better to allow relationships and friendships to build (or deteriorate!) naturally with flow. I expect some effort for spelling and punctuation. Yes, we're all human, I won't go nasty on you for errors. I make them. I really do. A lot. I don't mind if English isn't your first language, so long as I can reasonably read your post! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - All the above might seem nit picky or nasty, but it's there to weed out people I'm likely to be very short with very quickly. It saves headaches, for me and for you. This is a hobby, and none of us want to deal with arguments over a hobby. Onto the nicer notes! I am willing to rp any pairing of any gender if the OC's end up going that way. I won't force romance onto anyone, I don't -need- romance, if it happens, it happens and I'm happy to rp it. Multi-charry / Doubling / Casts I'll be damned if I'm choosing one character-- ahem. I, personally, enjoy a small, diverse cast. I have 'mains' if you will, but sometimes characters don't click, for whatever reason. Instead of throwing them away or deeming them useless, it's possible they just didn't get on with a certain oc. I find small casts more interesting and more fun to play, and while preferable, you don't HAVE to do this. It's more how I rp than an expectation. Supernatural creature RP's are over-done. But I love them anyway. Despite my (shocking) demands, I'm a cheesy sucker for fantasy, slice-of-life, supernatural (genre, not fandom). I can and will rp plot lines with action, adventure, daring, but sometimes I love... relaxed, character-relation building games. Sue me, it's cute at times! Or schools. Supernatural schools are so over-done. But I love them so. I know, I know, that's disgustingly plain. I crave the simple plot lines in RP life, sometimes. Unless you're going to come to me with an OC's that's little miss half demon half angel with a degree in brooding, and who suddenly turns psycho-giggles. In which case, you are banned from talking to me. Avaste ye. (Unless you think you can play those types of creatures without making them annoying. In which case, prove me wrong, child. ) I love Fantasy, Kingdoms, Fighting the BIG BAD, Empires, A rag-tag group of folks on a mission, world-building, creature creating, Western and Eastern fantasy, L O V E I T. I enjoy talking to my potential rp partners. Sure we don't have to be BFF'S, but being able to talk and discuss is very important, I feel. It's easier to say "Hey, XYZ sort of doesn't go well with me." And talk out a fix rather than sewing your lips shut on something that's bothering you. If you -really- need a Fandom, and desperately... Pokemon. I really frickin love those tiny cutie-patooties! But if anyone is interested after this long winded spiel, throw me a PM with your interests and such and we'll figure something out to suit the both of us! Have a good one, guys! Thanks for reading!
