Hey I'm interested in your style and what you're looking for. Not sure which type of rp though.

Question, am I right that when you are referring to a canon character it is the character already made in fandoms where as OC is your own made up character for that world?

[Genkai]

Yes, canons are from the fandom and OC are "original" characters by which they're made up by a fan.

Need 1-2 new RPs I think!

I have a spare a bit of spare time I could dedicate to an RP.
Although... I'm more in the mood to brainstorm a fresh setting and plot than work with a fandom. Would you be up for that?

[Genkai]

I am getting a few requests for originals and I have to be more selective about them. A lot of fantasy/quest situations are being suggested and it's getting a bit tiresome and dry so if you're aiming for something besides that, I'm all ears. I won't necessarily vomit if you mention fantasy but it should be more compelling than go from x to y or find this person or treasure.

Epic adventures oftren require some extensive world-building exercises, exercises which I'm admittedly burnt out on. I GM enough games as is.
I'd actually prefer to do something more interpersonal, maybe even introspective. Normally, I'd like to establish a theme and explore it. By "theme", I don't necessarily mean a simple genre label either, such as horror or fantasy, but rather the tackling of tough questions that allow characters to evolve:
Who am I?
Will I ever love again?
When the mind can inhabit any vessel it desires, what becomes of identity?
What are my ultimate limits?
How do I protect what's precious to me?
What do I want in life?

Just a thought

Lawrence of Arabia comes to mind as a doing this kind of thing quite well.

It's the common thread the ties together the story. The setting and genres are incidental details of how one explores such themes.

Honestly, I'm in this for the raw human connections (i.e. emotional, economic, physical) among an interesting cast of characters, not solely the action, adventure, or romance.

Edit:
TL;DR - Not really in the mood for the grand adventure stuff. And after thinking about it a bit more, something focusing on self-discovery or identity sounds really appealing at the moment.

[Genkai]

Focusing on character development with a nice connecting theme of self-discovery and interpersonal relationships is fine with me, those situations do lend themselves well to detail and good communication with fellow writers. I think either "What are my ultimate limits?" or "Who am I?" are ones that speak the most to me. Perhaps even "What do I want in life?" but all there have the same idea of having an emphasis on a character exploration.

[BurningDaisies]

Character exploration is usually the point of story-telling, isn't? xD
Besides, I like to clearly establish the characters' "why", their.... instrinsic motivator, I guess? It helps maintain a good momentum, even if the characters or we as writer's falter.

"What are my ultimate limits?" and "Who am I?" could both easily be explored in a sci-fi setting with other transhumanism concepts thrown in. At least, that's the first thing my mind went to.
Yet.... I'm usually steeped in sci-fi stuff, so I'm more inclined to try a setting with low-level technology.
We could just as easily do something sports-oriented and/or deal with the pressures of fame and how the public's expectations affect a celebrity psychologically (and vice-versa).

This is usually a good question to start with:
What setting sounds like the most fun to you, right now?

(If you happen to be craving sci-fi/cyberpunk stuff, I will totally jump on the band wagon. I've just been doing a lot of that recently.)

[Genkai]

Sorry about the delay! I understand if you're not longer interested.

I've been through a process of weeding out dead or dying RPs so I don't have so much clutter with subscriptions. And after further consideration. I might want something more light and fluffy since pretty much all of what I have are more serious and filled with angst and it's becoming really tiring on my muse/interest/motivation. I'm not discrediting any sort of conflict by any means, but I do think it might be more enjoyable to have something with less stress.
