Okay, bit of an ask, and I know that Nikolaj and Dominique are basically going to drop into Chievnor, a bit of skydiving, you know. Anyway, who's the third man/woman that shall join them? The rest are on the ground, BBQ, firing range, vodka later :)

Bio
I've RP'd for the best part of over 15 years now here on the Guild, and particularly like military settings, both contemporary, past and near future. I have even dabbled in a little more experimental RPs, as well as created a plethora of 1x1s over my time in the guild. I like creating RPs with a distinct flavour- and often shift between narrative-led RPs to semi-randomised plots. I've been more a GM lately than a player, and don't really lean into fandom- instead, exploring my own universes lifting themes from other source material.
My main interests are military-themed, near-future RPs, with a focus on technology. But I'm beginning to push what that RP idea looks like- taking inspiration from lots of media and focussing on the fun, indulgent side of RP, whilst also exploring the lows and emotional side.

Raven Squad is a project over seven years in the making, and focusses on a class-based, eccentric yet half-grounded near future special forces team that acts as a response team where you can't send any special forces team in. It's incredibly dumb, incredibly loose, and yet, has delivered some of my favourite plot points in RPG. A brainless action flick a la John Wick and Kingsman meets a complex thriller with a fun left turn in it, Raven has been the culmination of over a decade of loving special forces RPG, gaming influences and other silliness in a package that has provided players with something quite different to a normal military themed RPG. While at an end, this is an RP that is a signature- it's silly as hell, takes itself barely seriously, and is what peak fun military RPG to me should be.

Delta Hyper is a love letter to Wipeout, F1's Drive to Survive (Netflix) and contemporary Formula One, with influences from solarpunk, cyberpunk, transhumanism and other posthumanist concepts. An RP that follows pilots in their ups and downs, it's a story that hasn't got me playing an actual character, but framing the camera at each pilot (played by others), and presenting it as if it were a documentary. Lifting elements from TTRPG, this is a Racing RPG like no other and no parallel exists- using dice rolls and randomisation, with a stats-driven system to generate race results, rather than actually RPing the races, players experience the fast-paced, dynamic world of anti-gravity racing. This means that come Qualifying and Race, the results are genuinely a surprise to everyone- and based on decisions made through dilemmas and decisions made between races. Friendships, rivalry, the glamour and even a little political undertone play out in 2094, in a colourful, utopian future that focuses on the fight to take first place.

Then there's Tactical Breach Wizards: Fireteam Hex. First use of any set IP as a formal setting, this is an RP that offers a darker mirror to Raven Squad, focussing on the other side of the equation- unlikely heroes in an uncomfortable position. I don't normally do fantasy, but the world, the lore, the feeling of the characters and the ability to write a comedy just was too difficult to pass up. An RP that focuses on a group running away from a variety of threats as wanted mercenary wizards in the middle of a post-revolution, Eastern-Europe adjacent 1990s to present Polavia.
roleplayerguild.com/topics/197399-dis…
Lastly, Dispatch: Heroes of Claremont. This is another IP-adjacent world, albeit drawing on a different setting and a new cast of superheroes. As my "first" proper superhero RP, this combines workplace comedy, a Storyteller-lite system and a fun, diverse, and large cast together in a dynamic, diverse setting.
I'm pretty flexible and try and get back to people on ideas and responses, but sometimes, I may become very busy and it will take some time till I am un-busy. I aim to clear posts within a week!

More on my end...but wow, you speak Russian? Cool. Jan from Lima did speak Polish, so it was funny when I used him to speak polish, and had to almost immediately translate :D
Yes, yes she can (used Google Translate, sneaky).
Might be :)
I know Rain is meant to be detonating the charges; I think he's currently very busy, and while I am open to him coming back, I'll indirectly control his character to make that action. It is shitty, but this is something I would say is something I can do.

Wicked. I'll be getting to work shortly, expect a post that throws you from the dusty city to the West Country. There's going to be cider! :)
And now it's the 21st, I know...a lot of things happened in my life, and I really did lose track of shit going on. Rest not though- I shall post today regardless of anything, and it will bring us into Part 1, with whoever we have. I do want to keep this going, and I know that there's around six of us or so, give or take one more or less, so this can definitely work.
Seen this before. And this, my friends, is why actually the Lannisters don't pay their debts. And why the Tyrell growth is an export-based (wine, weapons and grain) economy, that guess what, has many of those three in great demand fucking everywhere. Highgarden castle itself wouldn't have developed much, but the Rosewood (a massive, massive forest, based of non-coniferous and coniferous trees, east of Highgarden), and particularly Hightower/The Arbor would look almost like merchant republican cities, really, really flowing with trade revenue. The Tyrells didn't ever do loans, if they did (as we see Mace doing in the tail-end of S5), they're through the Iron Throne. It's been a century or two and a new set of rulers who are probably paying it back prudently in the absence of any war whatsoever, so no doubt, that has worked out well. Even the Crakehalls shouldn't have had to borrow money- in fact, actually, they could have borrowed money to the Riverlands, to restore their completely destroyed economy in the wake of the War of Five Kings...though again, could have easily been paid back.
The real question then is, what does Braavos look like? Remember, they were rich before. Now that....is some scary, scary fucking power there, considering it is likely the debt has been paid following the Targaryen restoration- new rulers, same loan, but perhaps a little more sympathetic to allow the Targaryens to begin paying back. Money can buy everything, mercenaries, loyalty, kingdoms, anything at all, for anyone who would like it.

Ahahahah, that is the greatest fucking thing I have read in days...wow. :D

Well, you'll have to wait to my next post to see. The aftermath itself is a collab to be done.
