Current Its a fun feeling to just sit and think about what to do for responses. The flipside is feeling locked in place, waiting for another to go first on something.

You ever take a look at the forum board, not see anything of ready interest, and decide to just go about your day? Figured I'd see if a new game was interesting, nope, ah well.

Writer's block is a pain, but if I happen to owe anyone apost, I'll be working on them tonight, hopefully. Might go surfing, see if any games catch my attention.

Bio

I already did an earlier introduction, but this is something one could always see, so let's roll.

Serene is the pen name that I use over on my old G+ account, which if you're able to find the account before the site shuts down, is Serene Selphia, but no fancy url, lol. But to those I'm close enough to, my nickname is Chris, and if I ask you to not use it, its nothing personal, I'm just not ready for that level of friendliness. That isn't to say I'm not a friendly person, just that I can be a bit professional when it comes to stuff. I've been rping since like...2011 I think? If I could find the Minecraft rp forums I started on(yes those were a thing, it was actually full of good rpers, but all good things come to an end of course), I'd have a precise date.

I roleplay a lot of things, well, that was the old system. About four years back, I settled down in a roleplay community on G+ called Temple of Glory, and began to stick to just one character who I kept working on, using other characters as I felt the need. That was my current primary character's father, a character I'll call the Professor for now, as I intend to post a version of his character sheet later. Probably when doing so wouldn't spoil what became of him in a storyline. Anyway, after a point I burned out as him, and switched focus to his daughter, who I use primarily in the old roleplay hub I come from. The Good Doctor, and here, no spoilers, mostly because ahaha, I'm shy about that.

I love a lot of series, but my heart goes out mainly to Rune Factory, Sonic, Mega Man, Metroid, Mario, Pokemon, and Duel Monsters. Especially Rune Factory and Sonic, though lately I've fostered a love for the Nasuverse, Fate Grand Order is a fun time. I love to read a variety of things, and I'm always online unless sleeping, so feel free to drop me a line if you need it. While I'm relatively new to the site here, I'm an rp veteran, and a skilled writer, as you'll see whenever I post the Doctor's current profile.

Ah right, more on me. I'm a college senior presently, I just had my capstone for my history degree wrapped up, and I'm proud of my progress. While I am a loner by nature(I mean my writing often keeps me trapped in my room to meet paper deadlines), I'm still a sociable person, and if you can't reach me here, my Discord is Serene Selphia#1064. So I suppose that's a bit of a spoiler, but to who, I won't say. Just be forewarned, if you ask me about a character of mine, there's a risk I'll write a lot, so make sure you're totally fine with that.

In terms of roleplay, while I do mainly fantasy/science-fiction, I can roll with just about anything(as far as I know), but if I tell you its not working for me, don't take it personally. I'm a fairly detailed writer, and in terms of style, I'm good with both combat and non-combat related narratives, I mean, my current main was built for combat initially, whereas her father is more the sociable type. The most detailed things tend to when I describe the world around, or when writing profiles for characters I adore. Basically, if I'm in tune or really love something, you could get a lot. I once wrote about twenty pages on a google doc in two hours because I loved it so much. Weird flex sure, but you can understand it. I don't look for much in rp partners, so long as you can write me enough that I understand either what you're doing, or what's going on, I'm usually good. I'll generally drop a line if I need more information.

I love learning, so if you ask me about something, and I don't have an answer, I'll gladly take the time to do at least a basic amount of research. And if you're ever stumped for ideas, drop me a line, I'm always glad to help fellow veterans or the newer folk. Heck, at one point for a friend's group I wrote an entire(albeit unused) document full of random plot ideas for the group drawn from throughout film and video games. Point is, if you need someone to talk to, unless I'm in a bad mood, or its a bad time(aka I'm about to go to bed, or in class), I'm always up for at least a quick chat. I do take commissions, so if you want a fanfiction written, give me a holler, or if you just want a custom story about a character of mine, or just ask for them to give their input on something in a non-serious setting. Still debating what to set prices for, or if I work totally free...I mean I should charge something, but anyways, wew, talk about a ramble, eh?

Anyways, that's about it. I'll probably rewrite this as needed.

Indiana Jones


Indy had fallen silent after the others started talking, allowing them time to do what they needed to. It was only after all had seemed to, for the moment, quiet, that he decided to remark again. But first, he took in everyone again, processing all the folks around. Plenty of able bodied players. The given friend request was accepted, and the Artificer smiled gently.

"Alright, here's what I can do. I'll head to the library, read up, or head to the King of Chef's place first. Be an excuse to go exploring somewhere I haven't been before. Plus, I'll have to take inventory of what we all have."

Before anyone could possibly freak out at the idea of Indy going through their stuff, he lifted a hand, to stop them.

"I'm a lore junkie from the outside, so I know a fair bit, but there's a chance I don't know stuff. As for our stuff, if we're to protect the city, I need to know what we can bring to bear, and what I need to build as an Artificer. We're in the late middle ages, early Renaissance, if I remember the tech and culture level right. That's not including the new update, which, if it pushed us to the Enlightment, or even further, has its own worries."

He paused, thinking to himself, before resuming his words.

"Beyond being a lore junkie, I was a history student in the outside, transfer from the United States. Took some classes on ancient warfare, so if manual crafting works, and we can craft stuff without needing recipes, then I'm going to need Emerald Ganondorf here's castle, and all the crafters we can find. To build siege weapons, defensive weapons, and the like. If anyone here is secretly an engineer, come with me, we'll have to put our heads together."

It was quickly becoming apparent that perhaps Indy's reasons for being an artificer had less to do with say, the wealth it could bring, and more the desire to learn. After all, being an Artificer meant learning loads that might be overlooked by a casual player. All that said, he was clearly thinking long term, if he was discussing defenses and the like.

"Atop that, I'll need someone good in metalurgy. We know what the modern world is like, so we should try and improve our production tech base as fast as possible. But I think we all have the general picture. We need intelligence, so those who want to go ranging for information, good luck, some of us should go find other players, and calm them down. We'll also need teams to farm materials, be it combat oriented or resource gathering from the environment. Good luck, everyone."

Throughout this, his voice had been charismic in a sense, but not purposefully, more like it just was...there. Indy wasn't one to like leading if he could help it, but he could lead if the need arose. He was more...the behind the scenes type of guy when it came to group running. Either way, he'd decided to follow their version of Ganondorf around, and there was more he wanted to discuss one on one with the other, but it could wait till they got to the castle, if they went straight there. He'd have to stop by the Guild and tell Meg he was traveling to another guild's place, due to them losing their Artificer, and wanting to help. But enough of that, his desire to learn was getting the best of him. He'd try to do the friend request thing himself, so everyone present would, hopefully, after a few moments, get the pop up from the Artificer...

That was a nice thing to read after getting on.

I'll have something up for the group soon, it'll hopefully be short, but I'm just going through notifs atm.
Oof, all good midude! Best wishes!
Are we uh, waiting on anyone else to go, or should some of us go again?

I was kinda waiting on Storm dude, to give him a chance to respond-
Aye, casual is probably the best to start out. If you're looking for a Superhero tale or two, the slow burn of Maximum City is a good one, as well as the ongoing Santa Celia. Fun times, really. Otherwise, just try searching keywords, and see what you find.
@The Fool
Hope you're well!

Been considering changing Serene's Pitfall(s) to at least one being swapped to something akin to AIDS in the form of her immune system is either already weakened, or slowly weakens. It'd let me play around with some concepts from a comic series, where they developed countermeasures to an AIDS like disease.

Looking forward to when this eventually resumes!
Welcome to a land of magic and wonder, where there's a tale behind every door, an adventure at every turn. Where the finest of writers have gathered to tell their sagas, to write beautiful words and bedazzle the crowds.

All that aside, welcome welcome. Enjoy your stay here!
Actually, realized some of us haven't made an IC yet since my last, so I'll wait for a few, before saying more, lol
No worries.

I was already planning to have Indy drag Ganondorf the Monster Hunter off to the Guild to discuss plans, that or head to the latter's castle. Plans and all. We should probably have one or two of the cast ready to help others process as needed though, heh.

I'll have something up soon, was busy with Smash Ultimate.
@Rabidporcupine
Also that last reply of yours was a beauty to read. In the words of a certain trope, "this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship," least that's how I see the situation with Indy and Danongorf going.
