Hello there! I'm VanillaCola (VC for short) and I am interested in being a part of some 1x1 RPs. I'm quite new to roleplaying, especially 1x1 RPs. Therefore, if you don't mind giving me a few pointers or answering some of my questions, I'll be very grateful. Saying that, I'll try not to be a pain as I understand how frustrating it could be to more experienced roleplayers. Onto my preferences and other information: [hider=Posting Length and Times] I tend to only write a two-three paragraphs due to my rather busy life at the moment, but I will try to post something every day or every other day. However, I may be tempted to match my partner's posting length or write more if I am particularly interested or free from real life chaos. Please no one-liners or text speak. I try to put a lot of effort into an RP and I expect the same from my partner. If something comes up that leaves me unable to post for one or more days, or if I am unable to continue the RP, I will be sure to tell you as soon as possible and it will be very unlikely for me to just abandon the RP. Also, I live in England, so please bare time zones in mind. [/hider] [hider=Themes and Preferences] Violence, drugs, sexual themes and other mature subjects rarely put me off, but I will not do smut and I would like to stay away from most sexual fetishes. I am a reasonable person, so if we do decide to RP we may be able to work something out as long as it is done in a tasteful manner that we are both comfortable with. In terms of gender and relationships, I am open to being either male or female. If I am a female, I would prefer that any romance be FxF, but I may be willing to try MxF as the female depending on the plot/themes. As a male, I am open to either MxF or MxM romances. Of course, there doesn't have to be romance and I am perfectly fine with non-romantic relationships. [/hider] The following [b]original[/b] themes/plots/ideas are what interest me, with my current favourites being in bold and a * indicating which role I would prefer to play: [u]Sci-fi[/u] Soldier*/doctor – FxF [s][b]Mercenary/mercenary – FxF, MxM, FxM*[/b][/s] Mercenary/Law enforcement (police) – FxF [b]Spaceship pilot/Spaceship captain – MxM, potential non-romance (work-in-progress plot available, PM)[/b] [u]Futuristic (can just be a modern world with minor futuristic elements)[/u] [b]Soldier*/doctor – FxF (I do have a work-in-progress plot for this kind of RP, PM me for details)[/b] Soldier/civilian – FxF, MxM, FxM* [u]Supernatural[/u] Vampire/vampire – FxF, MxM Werewolf/werewolf – FxF, MxM, M*xF [s]Werewolf/human – FxF, MxM, M*xF[/s] [s]Vampire/human – FxF, MxM[/s] [u]Horror[/u] [s][b]Hospital Hell – MxM, M*xF, non-romance (PM for plot)[/b][/s] Haunted house – FxF, MxM, M*xF (I feel this one would need a lot of work) [s]Zombie apocalypse – FxF, MxM, M*xF, potential non-romance (again, a lot of work may well be needed)[/s] Sins of Salem - MxM, FxF, M*xF potential non-romance (basic plot in mind, may need some work) [u]Fantasy[/u] [s][b]Knight*/royalty – FxF, MxM (plots can range from complex to simple, so will need to be specified in a PM if interested)[/b][/s] Knight/knight – FxF, MxM [b]Power Couple – FxF (plot in need of some development with a bit of complexity, PM if interested)[/b] [u]Sport[/u] Soccer player/soccer player – FxF, MxM Soccer player*/original character of your choice – FxF, MxM, M*xF Boxer/boxer - FxF, MxM Boxer/original character of choice - FxF, MxM, M*xF [u]Anime-style[/u] Fantasy war – FxF, MxM, M*xF potential non-romance (think Attack on Titan military style mixed with settings from Naruto/Bleach/Fairy Tail. A lot of work would need to go into this) Death is not the end – FxF, MxM, M*xF, potential non-romance (Bleach being a strong influence. I have general ideas, but more work is needed) The following themes and plots are things I don't generally enjoy, but if you have a plot that I find interesting I can be tempted to give it a try: Slice-of-life High school/college/university Orphanage setting Angels/demons Mythology (not very knowledgeable on any kinds) Historical settings (again, not very knowledgeable) Anthros/animals Fairies Bands/musicians/actors/celebrities Blood-incest, pedophilia, bestiality or other illegal/taboo things In terms of fandoms, there aren't many I feel confident enough to do. I'd say the only one would be Resident Evil (I haven't played any of the games after RE5, but I have completed RE5 and its predecessors) and I would be much more partial to being an OC rather than a canon character. Also, I would only be interested in doing an OCxOC romance or non-romance for a Resident Evil RP and not a CanonxOC relationship. More work would need to be put into a fandom-based RP. Be sure to PM me if you are interested in any RP plots/ideas/themes or if you have your own that you would like to present to me. I'm quite relaxed when it comes to others' plots and if it interests me I would be glad to put in effort to make it a great RP or join you as a partner. VanillaCola out!
