@Novama I am interested in hearing more! Tell me about this project :)
Hey everyone, I'm Crimson Crusade. I've been roleplaying for many years and looking to jump into random open rp's with you wonderful folk, as well as finding potential long term partners! :)

A little about me, I love creating new worlds with deep lore and/or concepts to play in. My typical replies are usually between 500-1500 words give or take. I tend to burn out faster if I'm doing the heavy lifting alone, so when it comes to long term partners I need someone who is just as creative and not just reactive. No shade on anyone who writes that way though! We can write more casually together :) I like narrative curve balls that makes me think carefully about how to proceed. Thought provoking posts and lots of effort will always be reciprocated!

I am not really into smut or romance, but if an intimate or romantic relationship develops throughout a story and it isn't the primary focus, I will engage and entertain the development! I am primarily interested in fantasy, but will dabble in scifi and horror, though outside my wheelhouse I'd prefer someone else take the reigns.

I am into IP's like Critical Role, Star Wars, ATLA. Those are ones I feel most comfortable with as I know the most about, but I am open to exploring other fandoms if someone else takes the reign. Oh, superhero type stuff would be fun as well. It is nice to be here!

How's everyone doing?!
I am a walking ATLA encyclopedia :D

If you are obsessed with ATLA as much as me, let's talk.

I want to come up with a story that takes place hundreds or thousands of years before the original series whether it's the inception of the Order of the White Lotus or an entirely new thing. I'm here for it. Hit me up :)
I'm just looking for someone(s) who are interested in a D&D setting. I want to emphasize that the storytelling and narrative etc should be priority over any sort of mechanics if there are mechanics at all. Characters, classes, abilities, etc to align with your standard D&D guides, but we can level up based on narrative and whatnot. I don't wanna get too in the weeds with rules or anything though. Just a good ol fashion D&D setting.

I'm also looking for any rp's like this that are open for all to join whenever. Including, but not limited to:

- ATLA
- Critical Role
- Star Wars

I'm open to creating our own D&D like world, or even space opera type stuff. I'd love a sandbox to play in. Seeking casual open rp's as well as committed longterm ones.

I've been doing this for many, many years. I'm just picky when it comes to writing with someone longterm. So if you're someone who is narrative driven, character driven, and enjoy throwing curve balls and pushing story fwd as much as I do, and not just reacting to what I write, please hit me up. Otherwise I'm very interested in something more casual and open! I love writing and creating characters and the interactions they have with other characters and to plot development and everything and just wanna jump in.

Thank you for your consideration and time!
ire Nation culture:

There is no fire lord. The monarchy does not exist and doesn't exist for thousands of years. Fire bending is a trait that elevates bloodlines in the hierarchy of their society. The fire nation comprises of a ton of islands and each island governs themselves. They partake in tribal warfare as well, but that's beside the point. The familial hierarchy of the fire islands is tier based. If a bloodline possesses the ability to fire bend they are most likely to be nobles, governed by the strongest and most resilient of the families on each island. Nonbenders would be the "peasants" in this tier based culture. When a child is born with fire bending abilities they elevate the family's status, and they are trained from the youngest possible age to hone their bending skills, further elevating the family's status. Agne Kai can be utilized to challenge the ruler of the ruling family to reorganize the power structure on an island to island basis. Failing to meet family's expectations can lead to disgrace, not only for the individual, but for the family as a whole, because families as a whole are also held to certain standards and expectations as well depending on the tier they possess within their culture. Great deeds and achievements, feats of notable regard, etc. also elevate family.

Earth Dynasties:

The Earth Kingdom will not exist for thousands of years either. This giant landmass is divided into several dynasties, of which also partake in tribal warfare. These dynasties are ruled by those chosen by each territory's respective spirit. The divine right to rule is passed down via bloodline until either the bloodline is wiped out or the territory's spirit selects a new ruler. These rulers are worshiped as gods by their people and they demand unyielding loyalty from their subjects. How they choose to govern their dynasty is completely up to them, however, the spirits can intervene however they see fit, removing them from power. Nobody knows what reasons the spirits might have for doing this yet as spirits are immortal and humanity has only gone a few hundred years without the lion turtles protecting them.

Water Tribes:

The people of the water tribes are very community oriented, and unlike the fire islands and earth dynasties, the water tribes do not partake in tribal warfare. There are no rulers within the water tribes either, but instead, it is every water tribe citizen's duty to provide wisdom and conflict resolution as they become the tribe's elders. The elders of the water tribes are deeply respected and regarded as arguably the most important people in the water tribes. Regardless if someone can bend or not, every citizen is viewed with equal importance and treated with equal dignity, and are trained to do their part for their tribe to the best of their abilities, whatever that might look like on and individual to individual basis. However, those who do not pull their weight, or those who repeatedly burden the efficiency of community, are often exiled for a period of time and able to return once they are able to prove their worth after living in the wilderness of the tundra alone, if they survive. Despite their station or occupation, all water tribe men are trained as warriors and fishermen as it isn't uncommon for people of other nations to attack them, believing them to be weak. The Northern Water Tribe is the heart of both water tribe's spirituality and philosophy, whereas the Southern Water Tribe acts as the tribe's wisdom and worldliness, as it is far more common for southern water tribe to venture to the north pole than it is for anyone in the north to venture to the south. Every few years people from the southern water tribe trek to the northern water tribe and a festival to celebrate their travels and arrival takes place, where the two tribes will exchange knowledge and teachings, stories, wisdom, goods, etc.

Air Nomads:

I think this one is a given. They've basically been established to be peaceful, spiritual monks since before Wan's era, and this has never changed. Only thing that has changed is the establishment of the air temples which presently have not existed for very long. 200 years max. Maybe 100. Flying bison have not yet been discovered either. Most air benders at this time are primarily nomadic, using the temples as way points, educational hubs, and for reunions. It is where young monks are born and raised until old enough to live the nomadic lifestyle (in smaller doses at younger ages and more and more as they get older), something every monk strives for. No monk remains in any temple for too long unless they are too old to travel, in which case they'd end up serving their people from the chamber of elders. Air nomads are universally adored and respected by all people of the world as they are neutral and will provide help and wisdom to anyone despite their nature. For this reason, it is a normal occurrence that, when an air nomad makes their presence known somewhere, they are always given a place to rest and food to eat.
@Crimson Crusade Hi! I'm sorry to bother you, I'm almost done with my post, but I just wanted to fact check something first. You said that the town that Dorje is currently in has easy access to the other nations, right? So I just wanted to ask if that means that it might have a port, like a place that waterbenders on their way to the North-pole and back might stop to re-supply? Sorry if I'm assuming a lot! ^^;

Edit: Posted! Let me know if anything needs to be edited or changed! ^^


There might be a port nearby but the way I have imagined the tavern is it is isolated along a forest and river, off a path that travelers use. It isn't in a town per se, but outside of that yeah if you want to mention there being some sort of port nearby go for it.
I've been wantin' to make a new avatar oc for sooo long. Interested!


Well we now have an airbender and a water bender, both male, if you wanna come up with a character and write a post in the thread! How familiar are you with ATLA and LOK lore?
Alright, awesome! 😁 I am pretty familiar with Avatar, having watched the Last Airbender a LOT, my knowledge of the Legend of Korra admittedly has a gap here or there, though nothing that a quick Google search can't fix! For a character I was thinking about a waterbender who, born a man, was kind of pushed into training as a warrior, but he really wanted to be a healer, so whenever he had a second to spare he'd badger his grandmother(who was quite a talented healer in her days) to teach him everything that she knows. In a group dynamic he'd kind of be the dad-friend. 😁 If anything needs tweaking or changing, let me know and I'll come up with something else!


Sounds good! Feel free to reply to the thread whenever!
Hi, just dropping by to say that this looks really interesting and to ask if there were still spots open? If yes, do you have a character sheet that I can fill out?


I do not have character sheets sorry. So far nobody has jumped in so as far as I know all slots are open. Are you familiar with avatar the last airbender and its lore? Also, the first post of the thread is The link in the first post on this RT. I am hoping to build a team avatar type group but I am flexible. No the avatar will not be involved as he or she is only 8 years old at this point and somewhere in the earth dynasties. The tavern in the post is somewhere in the south western corner of the earth dynasties with easy access to the other nations. Let me know if you have any questions.
