Engel's Interest Check. [FxF.]

Hello, I'm searching for a couple of serious roleplay partners to do some 1x1 with.

- I'm an Advanced to high-casual writer, which means I enjoy writing longer posts and adhere to those standards of RP. I expect my partner to do the same.
- I'm a female, and I rarely roleplay male characters. I've done it and can do it when they're just smaller roles, but I prefer not too.
- I want FxF.
- I would be able to post a couple of times a week at least, unless I become busy IRL, but I'd let you know then. I would want my partner to do the same.
- I'm fine with mature themes. I do prefer romance over smut though.
- I enjoy discussing plots, settings and characters, so I would prefer my partner to do too and actually contribute to the discussion.
- I'm not a fan of playing canon characters.
- Please don't bother me if you joined the same week or have a small post count. I've give enough chances to these to know it always ends the same.

- I'd be interested in discussing ideas, hearing suggestions and such for each of these.
- I want serious and dedicated partners for long-term roleplaying. I'm fine with doing it over email, on the site or any other way. I'm more interested in writing buddies than one shots.

The ones with a * next to them are the ones I want the most.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I get annoyed by the amount of bad GMs I seem to run into. They either leave the RP to die after a few posts, or I guess they just don't live up to my standards of how a GM should be. I don't think I've that high standards either really. I kind of wish I was better at telling who is a good one before I join an RP.

The Guardians of Dara [Sheets]

Whurri Mooncheek

Name: Whurri Mooncheek
Age: 51
Gender: Female
Race: Dwarf
Physical Description:

Whurri’s as short as any dwarf, with a stout and rugged body that might remind one of a rock. She’s muscular and over the years she’s gotten a bit rounder than in her youth, but she’s still not particularly fat for a dwarf. Her hair is black with a few strands of grey. She keeps it in one long braid at the back of her head, which she rarely cuts as it’s a sort of sign of her wisdom and age. She’s got green eyes, a few wrinkles from frowning too much and tattoos in a tribal pattern that covers most of the left side of her face. Her clothes are of the finest fabrics she could find, extravagant, and often in the colours of red, blue and white. She wears a black cloak at all times, which she was sold under the belief that it would protect her from the supernatural in the world, but if it does or not she doesn’t know. She hasn’t experienced anything supernatural since buying it, so that’s something.

Skillset:

Whurri is a master at fighting with staves, whether they be long enough to wield with both hands or shorter to use one in each. The latter was a tactic she had to develop when the weaker staves broke. Her technique when fighting relies heavily on evading and doding, to strike back at the right moment. She’s competent with improvised weapons as well. It’s common these days for people to seek her out to become better at fighting themselves. She’s got the right mind and experience for it, but she doesn’t personally train just anyone. Whurri only accepts the most persistent and promising ones. They wouldn’t leave her alone otherwise. Her knowledge of nature is rather good. There are those who come to her for advice in certain matters. These matters are mostly concerned with love, life and death, but could also be regarding other topics.

Far Ancestry:

There once was a dwarf who dreamt not about digging deep for riches, but to climb the highest peak in the mountains above his home. He would tell others about this ambition of his, and they would laugh, because why would any dwarf want to reach the sky? The only one who didn’t laugh was his love. Yet, she didn’t want him to leave her. It would surely be a dangerous journey. However, one night while drunk he claimed he’d had enough of the mockering - that he would begin the climb the very next day. Of course, this resulted in further laughter.

A man of his word though, he left the dwarven city the next day to climb the peak.The climb was long and perilous, but despite the odds he made it to the top after days of climbing. Awestruck by the view, there he remained sitting for weeks until everyone below assumed him dead, then he climbed back down and returned carrying a pendant in the shape of a crescent moon. He told his story, how the moon itself had given him the pendant for paying it a visit.

The crescent pendant was passed down to his son, then to the son’s son, and so on among the Mooncheek family line. Whurri was given the pendant when her mother died. According to the legend, it was what kept the dwarf from freezing to death, keeping him warm and alive at the top of the mountain’s peak.

Character History:

She was born in the south, where the summers were hot and the winters mild. The climate on the surface didn’t concern many of the dwarves below though. Their city Thondarth was one of the largest dwarven cities, located in a bountiful area with a lot of ore, food and water. The water from the nearby sea was used to power their crude machines, being diverted down through carefully planned tunnels into watermills to power the production of food and refinement of ore.

Her father was a smith, inventor and repairman. He was one of few dwarves whose skills were considered invaluable to the city. Her mother was a sort of mystic, a woman who could heal people with a simple prayer and a few herbs. Whurri had a lot of siblings when she grew up, and always had to fight to get any attention from her parents. It made her assertive at a young age. When she spoke most others would be quiet to listen, unless they were one of her siblings.

In her early teenage years, she became the apprentice of a traveling monk. The dwarf had often visited the city before, so she knew him. Her parents didn’t object. She wasn’t sure if they would even notice that she was gone with all that they had to do, and everyone else they had to take care of. The dwarf monk taught her how to fight, meditate and respect nature. In a way, he was more like a parent to her than her own parents had been. He was intelligent, wise and had the experience of age.

No one lives forever though, and when her master died of old age Whurri wasn’t sure what to do with herself at first. They’d been traveling together for years by then. She thought about returning home, but figured she’d nothing to do there. There were still plenty of places she wanted to visit, so she went with a ship that sailed north and arrived in Dara.

She became a member of a group of adventurers there, who eventually ended up fighting King Pykas of Selander and carrying out the raid on Melazus. The ordeal with Melazus frightened her like nothing had before, and she wanted to find some kind of defence against it that would actually help.

Whurri returned to Dara with no clear goal for the future now that the group had disbanded. She used her share of the wealth from Melazus to buy an old mansion in the Shava district. It was long since abandoned and thought to be haunted, so she got it cheap. It was a large mansion with many rooms, an even larger garden and tunnels beneath it in the old catacombs.

It took her years to restore it, but as she did she made friends in the city who came to help her. She invited the two most willing helpers to live in the mansion together with her once it was finished. They were a couple of young girls who had heard the stories about Melazus, the king and the sorcerer. They begged Whurri to teach them what she knew about the world, fighting and so on. She eventually accepted, and they became the first two apprentices in the new order of the moon. The name came later.

Whurri’s mansion became a sort of monastery over the years, where people would train and live. Her first two apprentices became respected monks that would train and invite new recruits into the order. Whurri kept to herself, spending her time down in the catacombs.

Psychological Profile:

Whurri is patient and stubborn, unmoving like a mountain when she needs to be or has set her eyes on a certain goal. She may favour peaceful solutions to problems, but she is not naïve enough to think that everyone can be negotiated with. She believes that everyone should learn how to defend themselves and those they love, so that nothing bad happens to them. It is partly why she started the order, and is teaching a select few how to properly fight at her home in the monastery. The order allows drinking and similar pleasures since she knows that it can help get someone through the day.

She is considered wise, but claims that she knows nothing. It’s fairly common for people to seek her counsel and advice in personal matters, though she would like to know who begun that tradition because she finds it annoying and disturbing at times of meditation. She’s spiritual, worships nature and what spirits may protect it and the animals. When making decisions she would like time to think, to consider what solution may yield the best outcome. That is not always an option, and then she goes with any method that has previously proved itself true. Whurri rarely puts herself ahead of those in greater need, which makes her selfless. She can be a good friend to have, as she values her friends and enjoys time spent with them. She likes to laugh, and may even make a joke every now and then. She was more energetic and fun-loving in her youth though.

After the raid on Melazus she was afraid of traveling alone or even leaving the city for too long, which is how she ended up staying and buying her own mansion. She had nightmares for years, but thankfully they went away eventually. Whurri never meant to stay in Dara. Rosie and Isara convinced her that maybe she could do more good in the city than she could if she kept traveling. Her interest in Dara has little to do with the city itself. She wants what’s best for those in need, but stays in Dara for the chance to continue leading the order and spreading its beliefs.

Equipment:

The crescent pendant – A family heirloom that is rumoured to have the ability to protect the one who bears it from extreme cold, and keep them safe in the worst of nature’s climates. Whurri believes there is some truth to the tale surrounding it, but thinks it is supposed to be more metaphorical until the pendant itself proves its dormant power.

Her weapon is a long metal staff which she had crafted with specific instructions for every part of it, so that it would be the best weapon she could purchase for money, with her own talents in mind. It can be split into two, either intentionally or if it was too block a too powerful blow. The two halves can easily be put together again with enough strength.

She wears light clothes and her black cloak in combat. Whurri relies on her own agility and ability to evade blows more than anything else. Her long braid is tucked into her clothes, so as to avoid getting it snagged on something.

Titles/Holdings/Power Base:

Whurri is the head of the order of the moon, the owner of its monasteries and its lands. She wants others to learn what her master once taught her, but also more that they may find useful in their lives. She is well respected in her own order, and among the poor, the homeless and the less fortunate. Her order gives out food to the poor, even shelter in some rare cases when someone is in desperate need of it. She has the poor on her side, without them having to wonder who she is really looking out for, but there are those who appreciate her for the improvements she’s made to the city too.

There are around thirty monks living in the monastery in the Shava District, but a second monastery is being built close to the River Dara by another twenty monks. The majority of the members are female, but there are a few males too. Its mostly humans within the order, but most races are represented to some degree with dwarves as the second largest. The first two apprentices, Rosie and Isara, are the only ones to achieve the rank of master within the order other than Whurri. Rosie takes care of the monastery in the Shava District, while Isara is overseeing the construction of their new monastery outside the city.

The order gets its wealth from investments that Whurri once made into dwarven cities and business, not all of which are close to Dara, but she has a few of her siblings to help her keep it under control. The order also gets donations from some people who are feeling generous, or the new recruits who are forced to give up all their possessions to the monastery when they become members. It has happened that this has angered a wealthy family when one of their sons or daughters joined.

Whurri would like to retreat from the world, live alone, but it seems like there are those who still needs her so she doesn't do it. Her mere presence can demand respect, and that others listen when she talks. She prefers to remain passive and neutral, rather than start a war or feud with another city. She is for peace and prosperity. In diplomacy, she speaks for the poor and giving generously in a way that may make her less popular in wealthy circles. She respects traditions though, and doesn't want to see the city change too much other than when it comes to how it treats immigrants.

Aileen O'Reilly

Aileen’s short burst of light caused more chaos than she had intended. Some large creature fell on the floor, screamed and burst out of the cafeteria. If she’d been anywhere else than in school it probably would have frightened her some, but here she’d gotten used to reacting with a deadpan reaction to everything lest people make fun of her for jumping at nothing.

Yuyu laughed at all the chaos, until he was hit by some unknown substance. He yelped in his whistling way, jumped off of Aileen’s shoulders and gestured for her to clean it up. She was about to use her hands when she noticed the awful smell of it. “No, go get some paper or something.”

He climbed off of the table, just as another scream could be heard. Aileen wondered why these people had to scream at every turn of events. Yuyu could be heard bumping against a few chairs and tables on his journey to find some paper to clean himself with.

She put her feet up on the table, and leaned back in her chair with her hands behind her head. Aileen felt pleased with herself. If she could cause situations like these just by entering a room she’d never have to think up a new prank to pull on people. It might get boring if it was that easy though.

It was more than a little surprising to her when one of them in the room claimed to be a teacher after giving her a very sarcastic response. Not the good kind of teacher then, she had to assume. What was a teacher doing here anyway? She thought they’d at least make it seem like they were trying to help solve the problem. Maybe they were keeping an eye on the students, but that wasn’t going very well either if her entrance was any hint to how things had been in here.

Some kid said they didn’t know yet either because of messenger pigeons. She had no idea what that had to do with anything. The same kid thanked her for some reason that Aileen must have missed. There was chatter and laughter, but she couldn’t hear what they said. The situation made her feel kind of like a fool.

“Sure, any time.” She responded, thinking it was the chaos she’d caused that was the reason she thanked her.

Yuyu returned, acting a bit odd, but carrying as much paper as he could. It was a considerable amount, making him look a little like a mummy. However, there wasn’t much to clean now. Aileen wiped off the little that was left, as the rest had been absorbed by his body. She hoped it wasn’t fatal to him. “Ugh, you’re gonna need a bath…”

“Why are you all in here if you haven’t heard anything?” Aileen asked, after finishing wiping Yuyu and removing all the paper. He sat on the table, whistling while swaying his head back and forth. She wasn’t sure if she should expect any real answer from this crowd regarding that either, so she asked a question they may actually be able to answer. “Does anyone here know my new roomie? I think she was named Kade, or something like that.”

I guess she's used to seeing weird stuff if she's been there a long time. lol It was also more to make out if there were people there or not, not sure it would have lasted long enough to pick up details,

Aileen O'Reilly

It was rather disappointing that they didn’t find anything special or secret other than some pool stick. She wasn’t sure what they were called. Yuyu offered to clean up the mess he’d done looking through their roommates stuff, but Aileen just shook her head.

“Nah, we’ll say it was hard to see in the dark, got confused and all that.” Aileen opened the door. “I guess there’s no use sitting here alone in the dark. We’ll find someone else to prank or find out why the school doesn’t even have a backup generator. Let’s go.”

She picked up Yuyu and put him on her shoulders. They’d move faster that way, as he wouldn’t rush into every wall or door. Aileen closed the door after her again, and headed towards the cafeteria after checking if anyone was around somewhere else. She didn’t meet anyone and figured it would be best to head for an area that people were likelier to gather in.

Once there she threw open the door, emitted a very short burst of light to see if anyone was in the room and smiled when she saw movements. There were plenty of noises and some weird smell to accompany whatever they were doing. Aileen wasn't sure what exactly she'd just seen, and maybe she was better off not knowing than turning on the light for longer. She didn't recognize any voice straight. so no one she knew well, but what better time to make friends than in the cover of darkness? The light faded quickly again.

“We found some of the bastards, Yuyu.” She said loudly with her Irish accent to the plant riding her shoulders. He replied with a whistling noise. “Well, I guess they’re hiding in the dark for some reason or other. How should I know?” Yuyu made a few more noises as if talking with Aileen, like they could understand each other. The only reason she could understand the gist of what he tried to communicate was their long history together. Another plant would be close to impossible to understand. “Yeah, yeah…”
Aileen went for her usual seat in the cafeteria, and sat down. She wondered if they’d been told to gather here by the teachers, or if they’d just decided to do so anyway. A glass of water would be nice, but finding one without breaking anything could be difficult in this darkness. She didn’t want to waste her energy on too trivial tasks since she didn’t know the next time it would be sunny outside.

“So, did they say anything about when the power might be back?” Aileen asked, again with a rather loud voice, and addressing the whole room.

City of Gold OOC

Abigail "Rabbit" O'Reilly, & Umi “The Ghouls” Ichikawa

Instead of acknowledging Rabbit’s idea, they went on to do what she could really only describe as the dumbest thing she’d seen in… Weeks? Months? A long time no doubt. It caused one death, unnecessary destruction of property and when the manager responded in the way he should have Whisper beat his head against the bar counter. If Rabbit was drunk she wondered what kind of stuff the two of them had been doing while she’d looked away. She enjoyed alcohol, but wouldn’t do any heavier drugs than weed.

She opened her warp for herself, stepped out of it outside the window and dropped towards the ground after she closed it. She teleported just as she was about to hit the ground and landed safely on her feet. Rabbit begun to walk home, shortening her way with a few teleports. She couldn’t justify what they’d done tonight, but at least she had barely been a part of it. In fact if she’d been a larger part of it, it would have gone much better.

Rabbit arrived in Lincoln Point soon enough, and made her way to her own apartment. Her parents had paid for it once, but they weren’t entirely happy with what she was doing with her life in this city. They wanted her to follow her younger sister. She’d stopped listening to their talk about her, but she knew Aileen must be doing better than her. It became even more apparent after tonight.

When Abigail unlocked the door to her apartment her golden retriever was right there, wagging his tail and wishing her a welcome home. She closed the door, petted him and threw off her jacket. She found her cat sitting in the windowsill, and he looked at her for a moment before returning to grooming himself. She loved both of them, even with their different personalities. Abigail picked up the cat, Pogue, and hugged him. He made a weak attempt to resist now that the dog was watching. She put him down again.

“What a day, you guys.” She said and headed for her bed, but turned on some music before lying down.

The dog jumped up in the bed with her, and laid his head on her chest to comfort her. Rover always did that when he seemed to think his master was upset. It didn’t take long for her to fall asleep in that position.

She woke up again when she heard someone in her apartment. Pogue and Rover were right next to her, or she would have assumed it was one of them.

“You’re the worst guards a lady could have.”

Rover wagged his tail and licked her face. He was actually a decent guard dog. He’d likely checked out who it was that had entered the apartment when she was asleep but since he wasn’t upset it could only mean a few possibilities. She got up to check it herself. It was still dark outside so she couldn’t have slept for long.

Rabbit found a familiar face, or two, in her kitchen. The tall Asian Umi who’d once walked up to her at some bar, bragged about her power and the more creative ways she could use it. She may have fallen for such a cheap trick once, but she wouldn’t again.

“Oh, it’s just you.”

“We didn’t mean to wake you, but I got done early tonight and needed to lay low.” Umi responded. She didn’t mention how she’d killed someone by accident. It wasn’t like she could continue to walk the streets for long the same night when she’d done something like that. People were bound to search for her.

“I trust you hid whatever you got tonight before coming here.”

“Of course I did, you fool.” Umi moved to put a hand on Rabbit, but she pulled away.

“I will throw you out.”

“Suit yourself.” Umi shrugged. “I’ll borrow your computer, headphones and promise to keep it down. That cool?”

Rabbit nodded, and left her alone, heading back to her bedroom.

Umi didn’t regret what she’d done to that one. She went around thinking she’d find someone else, someone better, and then she’d do something similar to them. Of course that wouldn’t be Umi’s fault either. She got rid of her last replica, and sat down at Rabbit’s computer to play some games.

Academy 218 - Superhuman School (Always open)

Aileen O'Reilly

Aileen was in a rather good mood, despite being forced to change her old roommate for someone new, based on nothing else than suspicions. Hehe, she’d show them that it wasn’t the two of them put together that were the problem. Aileen could start plenty of mischief on her own, or perhaps with this new roommate. Still, she’d miss her old one, but with an end comes a beginning.

She finished packing, closed the bag and gave the handle to Yuyu. He’d manage to drag it down the halls since it had wheels on it. Aileen carried a smaller bag herself with the most essential things in it, like her credit cards and toothbrush. She took one last look around the room to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, then she closed the door.

“Come on.” She said to Yuyu as the lights went out.

She heard him move down the corridor with her bag, and bump into a wall. Aileen’s storage wasn’t entirely full, but there were a lot of solar energy to draw on. She only needed a little to see where she was going, so she lit up the palm of her hand and used it as a flashlight. It had a dull light to it, not the powerful one she could muster if she wanted too.

Her first task was to make sure that Yuyu was fine. He had gotten further than she expected, and was rubbing his head with his chubby hands, but wasn’t too badly hurt. Aileen put him on top of the bag with wheels, taking the handle herself.

“Relax, I’ll get us there.” Aileen told him when he began to climb off the bag to return to his assigned job. He didn’t make any attempt to argue or disobey. Besides, she’d checked out the door before and it wasn’t that far.

She lit their way, walked slowly and soon arrived at her new room. Aileen knocked on the door to see if this Kade was inside, but as she heard nothing and no one came to open for her, she assumed the girl was somewhere else. Aileen opened the door, with a key she’d been given earlier, and found it as dark inside as in the hallway.

Rolling the bag carefully inside, and closing the door behind them, she checked which bed was already occupied and took the other one as hers. She lay down on top of the bed, turned off her weak sunlight to conserve it and patted the side of the bed as a gesture for Yuyu to climb up on it. He did, after struggling a bit. The plant was like a cat or a dog, but more useful than either. He was chubby, green, slightly shorter than a meter tall and covered by tiny flowers. He’d been with her for years by now.

“I wonder when this Kade will return.” Aileen said after a while. “It would be a shame if someone took this opportunity to learn more about her…” She glanced at Yuyu next to her with a grin, and could swear the same mischievous grin was on his face.

“I’ve got the door.”

She sat up in her bed. Yuyu climbed off of it, making a sound that could be compared to laughter and rushed over to the other side of the room. Another thudding noise was heard as he hit something again, but he didn’t seem to mind as much this time, not now that he got a chance to help his master with more of her mischief. They’d only look through Kade’s stuff to see what they may learn, nothing too sinister, not so early.
