Hello there! I'm Andreyich, you may recognize me from the constant shitposting on the status bar. Anyways, with current events I am once again looking for 1x1 partners to hopefully form long term RP connections. Well then, lets get into it.
Now with all the bureacracy out of the way, let's get to the fun!
Fandoms:
WarCraft: Played games 1-3, played WoW shortly before cataclysm and towards its end stopped, I still read whatever shorts stories/books are free.
Mass Effect: Played games 1-3 extensively, a great setting for all kinds of RP.
StarCraft: Played all the games and loved them, more than happy to do something with this.
Warhammer Fantasy: I have many GBs of books downloaded and play TWW/Vermintide quite a bit, I love the setting through and through and I would love to do something in this
Warhammer 40k: Same as above, I play much of the vidya and read many of the books, eager to do something in this.
Heroes of Might and Magic (Ashan): It's a rare thing to find people who like this universe in RP circles, but man I'm in love with this world and would absolutely adore an RP in this.
Discworld: This is largely a universe of satire and humour but imo its perfect for all sorts of action both serious and humourous.
STALKER: Really popular amongst folks here and I am no exception. The Survarium spin-off(ish) world is also sick
Metro: both the books and the vidya are an amazing setting for RP
Russia 2028: aka Escape From Tarkov Universe, pretty cool shit here
Lord of the Rings: Love the books and the movies (not the hobbit tho smfh) are good shit too
Splinter Cell: love the books and games, although it's hard to do something exactly in this (and really there isn't much point) something based on this would be sick.
Firefly: Much like above its kind of hard to do something in this exact universe, but something very similar would be badass
Doctor Who: you might be seeing a pattern here. its difficult to do something in this particular universe but its amazing and I had to bring it up
Deus Ex: I played both the old and the new games and there is a lot to work with. I don't think there is much good RP that could be done in the setting itself but the high tech dystopia theme it makes is unparalleled.
Bioshock: the perfect creepiness, particularly 1/2. One of the few true horror medias I have genuinely liked.
Fallout: played every single game except Tactics and BoS and its a great setting for RP stuff.
And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
Genres:
Fantasy: I mostly like low/mid fantasy but if someone has a very good idea I can do high fantasy.
Historical: I absolutely love history from all eras and cultures, the past is incredibly interesting.
SciFi: the future has a certain je ne sais quoi on top of the classic reasons we love it of high tech and unpredictability.
Action: Let's be real, more than half of RP has an element of combat and violence and I'm not exception in looking for this stuff
Thrillers: The cooler cousin of the horror genre, I love me some mind fucks that aren't just attempts to bring fear for its own sake.
Politics: High stakes, scheming left and right, lies and half-truths, damn I like this.
Slice of Life: Important note it can't be just ordinary 9 to 5 stuff. I want to go about the day of say... a peasant in the 11th century, not Bob Johnson driving 1 hour home on the highway after he spent his day looking at a spreadsheet.
Subgenres: Narrowing down from the genres above, this is more particular, curated stuff
Medieval: I love Knights, Monarchs, the likes
Western: Pew-pew with six-shooters, what more do you need?
World Wars: Dying in trenches or in bombing runs fuck yeah
Dark Fantasy: Aka fantasy that isn't noblebright. The nobility tread upon the throats of the commoner, and there is naught they can do to fight back. Wars are fought for petty squabbles, plagues and starvation are common, etc. etc.
Space Opera: Think Firefly and SC1/BW along with some of Star Wars / Star Trek, almost to scifi what low fantasy is to fantasy but with more cowboys and bounty hunting.
Post Apocalyptic: In particular I like post-post apocalypse if you catch what I mean, whatever the big bad event is the immediate aftermath be it radiation, zombies, or different global temperatures has more or less come to pass and cease to be a serious threat, but with the collapse of industry it has come to be that blade has come to be as common as rifle, horse as common as car.
Military/Paramilitary/Spy: combat stuff in the modern day. I very much enjoy reading all about militaria and would welcome an RP in this.
Themes:
Romance: Yeah lovey dovey stuff, this is very popular in 1x1 searches among folks here and again I am no exception.
Bromance: Platonic friendships as or stronger than bond by blood. Fistbumps all around!
Intrigue: subterfuge, whispers in the dark, devious plots oh yeah this is perfect
Grand Quest/Adventure: the search for some grand holy grail or philosopher's stone or any other MacGuffin, this is such a romantic idea I absolutely adore.
Moral Ambiguity: doing someone in not because they deserved it but because you needed it to survive or stay free. Worlds where dictionaries don't really bother containing "good" and "evil" any more. THAT SAID, I am at the same time a big hater of "anti-heroes". Tough choices, I understand. But romanticizing vikings as noble savages? Fuck that.
Coming of Age: Cheesy as hell. Not necessarily what people expect by that with stuff like two kids in school and such. Can be two lads both going through the same trials to become members of some Knightly Order or two yokels going to Vietnam and so on and so forth. Not looking to play actual kids though, just stuff like 17 year old conscript boys or whatever.
Rags to Riches: going from the bottom to the top, or at least the attempt to do so. A beautiful dream.
Subthemes/Flavour:
Getting over the past: For one reason or another our characters were against each other, perhaps as far as filled with murderous hatred. But for one reason or another they must overcome this and come together.
Coming past differences: Kind of similar to the above. Our characters have radically different backgrounds (culture, class, etc.) and must learn from each other persevering over their different outlooks on life and getting closer because of it.
Positions of Power: one of us is mentor to the other, or perhaps a body guard, or something of that sort.
Forced Proximity: similar to a few of the above and will almost always be with those subthemes/flavour, this is when our characters would in no reasonable situation be in the same place. Too bad something with a million to one chance to happen occurred.
Plots and Prompts:
Please note, I am vaguely open to a reversal of roles in all of these options, as long as the idea is interesting enough.
If you like what you see please send me a PM. We can continue on there or move on to discord. While I'm cool with open ended PMs I'd prefer it if you mentioned what overlap of interests you have found between us + a bit about yourself just so we can get the ball rolling faster. Please don't post here, I will ask any posts here to be removed and I probably won't be eager to RP with you if you do so.
PLEASE NOTE, I'M MARRIED WITH A KID, IT MIGHT TAKE LONGER THAN A DAY FOR ME TO REPLY
