I'll do the TLDR first. Brevity is not my strong suit.

*I've roleplayed in a variety of text formats for ages, but haven't taken part in forum roleplay in almost 10 years.

*No strong preference for specific settings. I love being able to explore grey morality, and adore roleplay that encourages it. I'm also down for filling roles that need filling.

*I've mostly taken part in group RP, but wouldn't be adverse to 1x1 under the right circumstances

*Truly, I'm just excited to get back into some good ol' collaborative storytelling.

**********************************

I've had this account for ages, but I'm pretty sure I still qualify as a newbie. I took part in only ONE roleplay here (under an account I've been fruitlessly trying to find for ages) that was a brilliant setting with fantastic authors... that fell off after a week. It was the biggest of bummers. I've been floating around in more chat based roleplay for a bit, but a recent move really throttled my internet and I cant use the same programs I used to. I've been stalking the forums was instantly reminded why I was so excited about this site when I signed up.

I'm an open book and if I don't stop here, you'll have a full biography. If needed, I have samples of roleplay and worldbuilding I've collaborated on.

So looking forward to writing with you all!

@Nuannaarpoq
'Welcome back'. :)

Welcome back to the guild, @Nuannaarpoq.

And welcome in. As someone in almost your exact situation I must say that you'll fit right in. And I wish you all the best here. Hopefully you'll find as much fun as I have.

Glad to have you once more

Do you have certain genres you like to write in or character types you like to portray? You mentioned you like shades of grey do you have tones you would prefer?

There's usually a pretty good mix of light hearted, neutral, and grim dark here.

@BangoSkank Oh absolutely. I'm most comfortable in fantasy settings, simply because I've had more practice writing for them, but I have a particular soft spot for the altpunk/alternate history genres. Heavy on the alternative but light on the history. The last roleplay I took part in was a mishmash that took from diesel, aether, steam and cyberpunk and it was some of the most fun I've had with a setting. I'm a big worldbuilding nerd, so a creative, well thought out setting inspires the heck out of me.
Also, I tend to prefer roleplay that focuses heavily on interpersonal and sociopolitical conflicts rather than physical combat. Again, just a preference based on practice. Combat writing is not my comfort zone.

I do like my grey a bit on the darker side. An environment in which an antagonist can really antagonize. It opens up a lot of venues for the exploration of motive, which is something that I absolutely adore. Whether I'm doing the writing or the reading, I like a good character study even more than a juicy plot.
