heya! i'm quasar (she/her). 

[url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/192707-quasars-interest-check-mostly-dragon-age-open-to-other-fandoms-origin]my dragon age specific interest check[/url] was getting unwieldy and i have a hankering to diversify my roleplay assets. thus, the spinoff thread with considerably less pretentious formatting!
[hr][center][b]fact-sheet[/b][/center]
i'm a pnw weirdo sprinting full speed towards 40. i don't have nearly enough tattoos, i almost have enough cats, and i have way too many hobbies

anyways, this is what you can expect from me as a writing partner:
[hider=computer, enhance!]
[list][*]i hate capitalizing anything ooc. it's a pointless affect, i use proper capitalization in game.[/list]
[list][*][b]high-casual to advanced[/b]-ish? i write what the story needs. sometimes that means short and sweet, sometimes you gotta set the scene with a chunky post.[/list]
[list][*]sample posts available upon request[/list]
[list][*]my goal is [b]1-2 posts a week[/b]. i'm patient, and i ask for patience in return. i have multiple sclerosis and sometimes the disability be disabilitying.[/list]
[list][*]at minimum we need to be able to talk shop about the game so we can plan out arcs and the like.[/list]
[list][*]i'm comfortable with both freeform and rolling dice[/list]
[list][*]i like to run 1 or 2 primary characters, and a healthy scoop of shared npc's.[/list]
[list][*]i'm fine with using character sheets or keeping it descriptive. i use non-anime art or faceclaims for characters, but you're free to do as you wish. i'm not your real dad.[/list]
[list][*]i'm fine with playing in pm's or threads, but i'm not interested in roleplaying offsite[/list]
[list][*]i love third person present tense. i encourage you to give it a shot. i can easily write third person past tense if you have strong feelings about the matter.[/list]
[list][*]romance and smut are great. i prefer to have both in my games. they're generally slow burns and no more than 20%ish of the game. i tend towards mxf pairings but fxf is welcome. [/list]
[list][*]i'm not down to game with minors. 18+ only.[/list][/hider]
[hr][center][b]lfg gamers[/b][/center]
[u]fandoms i fuck with:[/u]
[list][*]mass effect[/list]
[list][*]pillars of eternity[/list]
[list][*]forgotten realms, particularly baldurs gates 2 era. i would lose my shit to play in the time of troubles. bg3 is also great! [/list]
[list][*]kingmaker adventure path, pathfinder[/list]
[list][*]jujutsu kaisen[/list]
[list][*]dragon age, which has its own specific interest check. but like. listen. look. i love it okay[/list]
i'm picky about my fandoms, and i exclusively use them as sandboxes for original characters. canon characters can exist, but there's gotta be at least 2 to 3 degrees of separation.

[u]original settings[/u]
i would love to play in settings inspired by (and using, if you're down) some powered by the apocalypse rulesets:

[list][*][b]urban shadows (1st edition. will try 2nd tho)[/b] wolves and vampires and oracles, oh my! modern supernatural in queens new york. a little grim, a little dark, a lot complicated. okay, a little grim, a lot dark, a lot delicious complicated.
i've got a walking dumpster fire bodega girl with low impulse control and from a massive family of wolves. she had a hunting partner who went missing 2 years back. the trail went cold and she moved on; so, naturally, said hunting partner should come back in the most inconvenient way possible.
 
i've also got a control freak psychic with dubious morals trying to carve out a place for herself after she got caught leading a little cult.[/list]
[list][*][b]monster of the week:[/b] alan wake [i]adjacent[/i] vibes and spooky shenanigans in modern day...
new england? 
pacific northwest? 
some secret third option? 
i offer an emotionally constipated spell slinger chock full of generational trauma and burdened by duty. said familial duty is watching over a forest that straddles the veil and keeps popping out monsters. what was once a large clan has dwindled down to a single family with 2 children. needless to say, things aren't going great[/list]
i'm much more flexible with original settings. feel free to pitch me your ideas! i will let you know if it is or isn't my cup of tea.

[hider=tropes that make me feral:]
[list][*]toxic rivals to begrudging respect to still pretty toxic lovers (with a side of backstabs, if we're feeling spicy!)[/list]
[list][*]basically any and all varieties of rivals to lovers[/list]
[list]
[*][i]yearning[/i].[/list]
[list]
[*]hunting partners becoming a little too obsessed with each other[/list]
[list]
[*]the radiance that ravages and wreaks havoc x the night that shelters with bared teeth[/list]
[list]
[*]the by the books captain shouldering impossible duty x the carefree right hand that's secretly competent. mutual devotion and pining because fraternization actually is a bad idea. but also...want.[/list]
[list]
[*]fakeout makeout! all the way to fake spouses undercover. yes. very good. always delicious.[/list]
[list]
[*]exhausted but earnest paladin with an enduring idealism x the deeply cynical street urchin thief turned warlock desperate to hide a heart of gold [/list]
[list]
[*]blood magic isn't inherently evil but damn does everyone think it is![/list]
[list]
[*][img]https://i.ibb.co/4Zr4p7BK/Screenshot-20260620-150942-Tumblr.jpg[/img]
[/list]
[list][*]the world used to be high fantasy until Bad Shit happened and the magic got fucky. now a couple thousand years later, the magic is coming back. uh oh.[/list]
[list][*]biblically accurate angels. yes i know they aren't actually accurate. it's about the existential horror of not being able to comprehend things beyond our ken. you understand.[/list]
[/hider]
[hr][center][b]oh, just one more thing[/b][/center]
the most important part of 1x1 roleplaying is equal effort. 

please don't put all the burden of plotting on me. i want us to share ideas and enthusiasm for each other's contributions to the story. cringe is dead, let's get earnest

my goal is that we can build a rapport and trust where we both feel comfortable making plot decisions for the game as a whole, and safe enough to throw a spanner in the works to catch each other off guard.
