Bio

I'm recent here, having come from the likes of kik. I've been on that platform for about three years now. I haven't really investigated anything beyond discord and amino for roleplay. I've come to these forums in the hope of finding something better. My first impression of this place is positive. One of the big things is the message limit. Let's just say, I won't have to follow my posts by a C anymore.

For the most part, I've orginated from kik's guild culture. As a result of this, roleplay fighting is one of my favorite pass times. I'm still learning how to roleplay fight, still being T-1. The rest of my roleplay experience is pretty far flung. I've tried various genres with all sorts of settings. The most noteable are Westeroak, a large scale fantasy, and the Hanged Man Bar, a free form roleplay. The bar, as we called it, is were most of my characters came into existance.

Amoung my favorite types of roleplay are the following,

• sci-fi

I especically like it when the setting is far beyond the modern day.

• fantasy

One of the classic genres

• SCP

I am a fan of the SCP universe. I once attempted to make a sincere SCP roleplay. There is no such thing as a serious SCP roleplay on kik.

• before the 21st century

I like the idea of a roleplay set in the recent past. Maybe roleplay as a five points gang. Perhaps go back to when whales were spoke of as beasts.

• romance

Maybe. I don't even trust I can write it well.

Currently, I'm experimenting with roleplay. My biggest interest is in the idea of poetic roleplay. The reason I haven't listed this as a favorite is because it is a personal endeavor. Additionally, it is so fringe that I wouldn't expect anyone to be interested. So far, I've played around with rhyme and metaphors. I know that there is so much more that can be done with this medium, though. There are too many poetic devices for it to stop here. Here's a section of a post I made:

"Her finger would tap the counter. The taps acted as a counter. After it struck twelve, she grabbed a shot of vodka. She downed it all and it shot her."

Of course, poetic roleplay isn't the only type of roleplay I'm trying out. I'm also trying to bring my roleplay closer to that of a book. I'm trying to obtain that cohesiveness and narrative flow that books have. Ideas and themes linking together over time to form a concept, rather than explaining it out right. Keeping funky wording out of my posts.

I ultimately experiment for one reason: to understand roleplay. I can't crack open a book on literature because it doesn't entirely apply here. Roleplay is an interactive form of story telling. Literature is a passive form of story telling.
