Hi all! Redeemed here with a hankering to get back into writing after a year of...well, strangeness in my personal life. So good to be back with you!
Below is the normal "here's stuff about me". I've tried to keep it short: -Like many of you, I work full-time, have a family and do things that require me to be away from the site. I try to post at least once a day, if not once every other day. If there's a period of time where I'll be gone, I WILL let you know. I'd ask the same courtesy from you. -I LOVE worldbuilding, collaborating and talking to my partners about where we're headed. I also enjoy spontaneity, but I'd love to have a dialogue with you about the general direction of where we're going with the story, characters, etc. -I've been ghosted by others and I have ghosted some in the past. I don't like either. Please let me know if you want to stop replying and I will extend the same courtesy if need be. I don't take it personally and we can even try something new if you'd like that :) -I do enjoy exploring "mature" themes, but I keep things PG-13 for the most part. Fade to black is something I prefer, but I've become more open to exploring tasteful ways of expressing that act in the story IF it is something that makes sense for the characters and progression of the plot. We can work that out as we go. -I'm a guy and much more comfortable playing guys, but I can write female NPC's. Just not main characters. The more noble gender eludes me when it comes to writing them well as a main character. -I really hope this doesn't sound pretentious, but I will ask for a writing sample from you. Not to judge you at all, but I want to see if our writing styles are compatible. Speaking of writing styles, I guess I consider myself "advanced" (goodness that sounds elitist...I'm sorry xD) and I write on average three to four paragraphs, but it can be longer or shorter depending on what the situation calls for. If you'd like to know what my writing style is like, please feel free to check out a Star Wars AU thread that my longest standing writing partner and I have created. @The ElvenQueen won't mind a shameless plug for our long-running story XD
Right then, onto the plots! I've got a few ideas below and I'll update this as frequently as possible.
I think like many of you, I am VERY excited about the release of Cyberpunk 2077 and can't wait to explore the world that CDPR has fleshed out in it's own unique way. What I'd like to do is explore Cyberpunk-esque themes, but in our universe that we can build as we go. The loose version of this plot is set in the year 2101, where violent clashes are occurring across the globe due to rival nations attempting to assert their dominance through newly augmented soldiers, spies, completely mechanized and controlled androids as well as A.I. controlled weaponry. In the haze of war, my character is a newly minted Aug (short for augmented) who is part of an experimental group brought together by a private defense firm contracted by the U.S. to root out double agents implanted in the ranks. Your character can be a double agent, a partner in the investigation, my character's overseer or something else entirely.
TL;DR: Cyberpunk Spy thriller
I've done many a Dragon Age plotline, but none after the events of Inquisition. I would love to explore the ramifications of Solas' actions, how the Inquisition would have survived and what would happen to Thedas in preparation for the upcoming conflict with the Dread Wolf. More specifically, I am looking to play as a former Warden who joined the Inquisition and is tasked with finding the Warden-Commander in order to martial forces to deal with reports of demons and darkspawn that are becoming more frequent. I would enjoy playing alongside your own character OR, if you were willing, Morrigan. She's an intriguing character, one that is criminally unexplored in Inquisition.
TL;DR: Post Inquisition madness.
Similar to the Cyberpunk idea, but more grounded in reality. If you enjoy spy thrillers like Mission Impossible, the Bourne Identity and even the cult classic Alpha Protocol (which I'm playing through right now), then this idea might be for you. Set in the present day, MC is a relatively new operative in a joint task force created by the CIA and Interpol in an attempt to track down a pair of rogue CIA operatives that have executed contracted hits on several key leaders across Europe. What starts off as a "simple" manhunt for two rogue operatives morphs into a discovery of power struggles between groups of very influential individuals who have the potential to shape the course of world history. YC can be a fellow operative, MC's handler or even one of the operatives being hunted.
TL;DR: Spies, rogues and a whole lot of intrigue.
Feel free to send me a PM and we can go from there! :)
