Niche Searching - Adv. RP

Bump.

...

My plate is empty... I seem to have already eaten up everything posted about this...

My interest grows.

Niche Searching - Adv. RP

There's really only two niches I'm looking for at the moment, merely because that is where my interest lies outside of the other RPs I'm already doing. The two ideas I have are laid out below, I'm more than happy to expand on them and I have equal interest in each. There is no requirement as far as your character goes, but there are a few rules.

Rules

1. Advanced RP only please, several paragraphs that advance the story is a must so internal monologues should be kept to a minimum. This includes fluff that would be deemed unnecessary.
2. 18 years or older is a requirement. While any 'erotic' RP would be kept to PMs I do tend to get rather violent and graphic in my posts when the story calls for it, and my language can be quite colorful.
3. It's not required to post as soon as I do, within a week of the last post suffices.
4. Grammar and spelling are important, but I do understand that one or two little things slip through here and there, human fingers are terrible appendages. I'm not perfect either!
5. Have fun! I have nearly no rules as far as consent goes. The more twists and turns the better!

Shivering Bay (Modern Fantasy)

Located on the coast of South Carolina this sleepy little town is a getaway for those that actually know it exists on the map. There are no signs pointing to Shivering Bay from the highways and backcountry roads, most directions having to be drawn on a local map to anyone trying to find it. From the ocean it looks like just another fishing town, getting by with what the citizens catch from the depths. But in reality it's so much more.

The known world is filled with modernized magic; cafes using fairy dust to add more pep to coffee and construction companies hiring werewolves to demolish old buildings just to name a few. Much of the day-to-day magic is minimal and used in constructive ways, many in the population forgetting the great powers of old. But in Shivering Bay those that prefer the ways of their ancestors take shelter, growing their powers and practicing their magic as if they anticipated the global peace to snap at any moment.

The air changed in Shivering Bay the day a stranger arrived, observed closely like any other visitor would be. What was found most unsettling was that he had no distinguishing characteristics to define his species, nor did he seek out work yet he rented the most expensive house on the beach without sweating the price. A nosey clerk at the mayor's office dug into the rental papers, finding the name Abel Revnik, which turned up nothing in any other database.

Who is this Abel Revnik? Why are the usually peaceful but cautious people of Shivering Bay starting to act strange?

(Story is open to nearly all fantasy species and any gender.)

The Drift (Cyberpunk, Sci-Fi)

The year is 713 AF, or After the Fall, and Earth is not what it was. The Fall was a freak cosmic event when Erister's Comet came so close to Earth that the gravity pulled massive shards of ice and rock half the size of the Moon to the surface. Humanity struggled to survive the aftermath, the first phase being genocide from the impacts, the second phase being the melting. The end result was the world being completely submerged underwater with various floating islands made of space rock.

From these wandering rocks humanity rose up, securing a new future by using the one silver lining that came with such catastrophe. New materials were mined from the smaller uninhabitable rocks which created stronger but lighter metals and energy crystals that could power a city for eons, all of which advanced Humanity further than any could expect. Within just centuries the world had gone from the second dark ages to towering skyscrapers on stabilized islands.

Not all were fortunate enough to ride the 'Comet Rush' as many refer to it as, much like the Gold Rush of the ancient United Stats. Most were left in the slums of the original structures underneath the cleaner upper districts, clamoring to make a living which barely got them by. Atop it all the rich get richer off the labor of the ones below, enjoying their life of luxury.

But tensions are rising in the most prominent city called The Drift, the voices of civil unrest are growing louder.

(Story is open to all classes and any gender.)

If there's interest from several people for either idea, or both, I'm more than happy to set something up for a small group. I just didn't want to go that far yet only because I'm so new to the guild.

Let me know if you're interested!

The Consortium: Howl of the Yellow King Disciples (Accepting 1 more)

I'm going to wait for @karos to go, just in case he already has something written up. I'd hate for him to have to rewrite to accommodate anything I post. After such I'll post in and we can rock this story. So excited to get in there.

The Consortium: Howl of the Yellow King Disciples (Accepting 1 more)

“I do not risk my life for the citizens of Aegis Luna.
I do not bleed for the Consortium or my superiors.
I do not face the terrors of the supernatural for glory or fame.
I fight to free the children of the nightmares that plague their future.”

Name: Hayley Malik

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Occupation: Teacher - Primary School

Investigator Rank: Second Class

Appearance
A mere 5’4” and 147 lbs Hayley is the epitome of what people believe is a school teacher, but beneath her high collared shirts and form fitting vests there is muscle tuned to agility. Due to the new shade of darkness over the world she has since changed out her heels and bustle skirts for belt pouches, flat soled boots, and the more versatile option of pants. And, depending on the weather, she has her floor length hooded crimson duster. As for Hayley herself her emerald green eyes compete for the category of most striking trait with the white streaks through her dark auburn hair.

Personality
There are two sides to Hayley, the one most see is the reserved and polite professional, seemingly without any end to her patience. A flower on the wall to be exact, to be overlooked and forgotten which is what she prefers. Those that truly know her can account for her sass, sharp wit, and crude behavior. She may act like a lady but it’s merely just that, an act.

Biography
Hayley is the youngest of four in the Malik family, the other three being older brothers. The Malik family comes from a long line of toymakers of all things, the shop in out edge of town having passed from generation to generation. The four were all raised the same, Hayley rumbling with her older brothers more often than not and it was a rambunctious household to say the least.

Just as expected the brothers took over the toy shop, Hayley cutting her own path to take up teaching. It was within the college years that she learned to be a lady to better conform to society, and although she didn’t get the best marks she easily won over the children during her internship. Before she knew it she graduated and had an offer to teach in the Main District which of course she took with glee.

It was only a couple of years before the Main District was overrun, Hayley taking it upon herself to help evacuate the families of her students. Within the trials of running from the Mangled Ones she came to see destruction of the normal life she had tried to build for herself. Yet seeing it all fall apart for her wasn’t the wake up call, it was the fear in the children’s eyes, the grip on her hand as she lead them to safety. As the Mangled Ones went up the clocktower she put the ink down to sign with The Consortium.

With merely a season as an investigator under her belt Hayley has never felt a stronger sense of purpose. Despite her brothers’ protests, despite her aging parents’ hearts, she goes bravely into the field hoping to secure a safe future for her former students.

Equipment:
- Energy weapon - Short Rifle Variant
- Lantern
- Sniper Rifle - 12x Scope - Mag Size 4

So, @justTypical tossed me link for this, and while steampunk is one of very few genres I've ever played in, I'd love to give this a shot.

Good [Insert Your Day Event Here]

Not quite sure what you're all looking for so I'll keep it to the basics that may or may not be needed. I'm a long time RPer, both on forums and tabletop, and I enjoy quite a number of settings from medieval to fantasy to modern to sci-fi.

Some quick things:
-I absolutely love killing off my own characters, death scenes are one of my favorite things to write.
-Consent is something I give out freely, as long as your idea is story driving I'll probably agree to it.
-As seen by the two above statements it can be easily assumed that I have no emotional attachment to my characters. It's true. They are there to entertain and fulfill a role in a story, not bolster my ego of "my character did this".
-Male or female, I can play either.
-Evil/chaotic characters are my forte, but I can play anything.
-If someone needs a good little bookkeeper I'll play it. I prefer to advance other people's stories as a supporting character.
-I post multiple paragraphs at a time as I enjoy reading the replies of character reactions that are of nearly equal length.

Any other questions I'm more than happy to answer.
