Okay, so as the subject line states, I’m an older player looking for some new stories to play a part in. I can do both 1x1 or small group. I’m fine with romance, adore romantic fluff actually, but not so into smut anymore. I go out of my way at times to insert random or not so random comedy into stories I’m playing in. Often at the expense of my own character.

I also don’t care how well you can spell or use grammar as long as I can understand what you are posting. Playing with folks with disabilities over the years has taught me to be extremely tolerant toward such things. Post at your own pace and length. I’ll let you know if I need something more, but I’m usually pretty easygoing with post length too, even though I myself tend to be a bit descriptively wordy.

I will admit I am far better at world-building than plot-building, so I’d prefer to partner with folks who are better at plot-building than I am. I DO however, tend to creatively color outside the lines with my characters. Oddball characters are so much more fun to work with than mainstream vanilla ones. The quirks and the challenges those quirks present are a large part of their charm.

===============================================
Areas of Interest

*Fantasy Medieval Asia [Japanese or Chinese] - One rule here, no real-world historical figures anywhere in these type RPs. That said, on to the interests. On the Japanese side, I’m more into Inuyasha style stuff than Avatar or Naruto. Mystical Japan and samurai style stuff are my jam. On the Chinese side, I really loved the worlds of Chinese fantasy dramas like Twelve Miles of Peach Blossoms and Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi/Founder of Diabolism. Paranormal/fantasy mystery stories are fun, and I really have not had enough of a chance to mess around with Asian elements like these. I will however point out that the language I studied in my youth was Japanese (though I have grown extremely rusty with it), not Chinese, so if I play with something involving Chinese elements.. Google will get used. :P

---------------------------------------------------------
*Star Wars - I’m good with anything in Old Republic Era and post ROTJ. I do not, however accept the Disney Eps 7,8,9 as cannon. I was born when ROTJ came out, grew up to the classic trilogy on the tv at Christmas, and the books got me through grade school in the 80s and 90s. I do play SWTOR and know my way around the lore up to the end of the Eternal Throne saga if that is helpful.

I do have one plot idea I got from a dream that I might be willing to explore. Essentially a mishandled ancient force-attuned artifact gets mishandled and explodes. The kicker is that a handful of people (in my dream it was some orphaned street kids) that were near the explosion ended up becoming force-sensitive when they previously were not. Which side of the force they leaned toward depended on their own personalities.

There was also a character in that dream that refused to bow to either “side” of the Force and worked as a mercenary on the razors edge between the two. He refused to get involved in “cult politics” of either faction. Not sure if I could play this one or not, and the story such a character idea gets used in is open ended to me as well. Its just another outside-the-box concept that struck me as interesting.

I’m also cool with playing standard Refugee, Slice-Of-SpaceLife, Resistance, Star Wars whatever stories just as long as I don’t need to play anything darker than anti-hero. I suck at playing outright villainy.

-----------------------------------------------------
*Fantasy Medieval, Steampunk, or Modern - Due to my age, I’m not that into a lot of the fandoms I see across the interest checks. I’m looking for something more generic with room for creative fun. If there’s magic and room to be quirky, I’m likely interested regardless of the time period.

-----------------------------------------------------
*Tabletop - I have PHBs for D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e. I would LOVE to find a group as the ones I've been in previously kept falling apart before we got anywhere. I really liked the lore I read about in the PF 2e books. Except for the Elves looking like Roswell aliens. Sorry just no. Elves should look like Tolkien elves at the very least. *rolls eyes* If you do have something for me, expect me to do some fumbling to catch up with the rules as it's been a while for me outside of casual D&D games with my husband.

Hi!
I wonder if you are still looking?
I am older, too. I am looking for a 1x1 modern fantasy roleplay. I'm not great with world building (I usually take the rules of an existing world and adapt them to my wishes) but I have no problem, coming up with plots.
I don't write seks scenes of any kind, and I love character development and building up relationships between the characters, romantic or platonic.
