Life is a bitch, ain't it?
Indeed it is- I'm currently a little less than busy, but when I am busy, I completely blank out on shit that I should be doing. Which is never great :P

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!

I don't also want to post- simply because it's a three-person loop we're getting into. I will post probably in a collab next time round, with Blue- then also bringing it back to . So say, Alyssa, Edrick, they have to be somewhere, and no doubt, have a role to play in the shitstorm that is occuring.
@josephb, you should definitely post too :)

Hmm...it is up to you- you can post now, or I'd be down for a collab. I am fine with whatever really- if you want to post, I don't want to stop you :)
AHAHAHAHAHA I would love you be your Air Evac comrade, you call, and we deliver.
Actually, I think I have something far, far more horrid in mind that Garland is going to suggest the King does, in the face of squabbles in the Red Keep and a rapidly advancing Crakehall force. It's the kill the boy moment for Aerys too, when the suggestion is presented to him. The aftermath, I don't actually think anyone will want to think about. It is an alternative to GTFO'ing out of King's Landing, and I think will be shown when Aerys meets Garland, to tell him to leave.
I would imagine that Alyssa, and Edrick are also caught up in this shitstorm of events. And Garland knows he has already lost enough to get into the capital. Let's just say that 13,000-15,000 men against 35-40,000 with gates open is a difficulty, but when you add dragons to that mixture, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people come to mind to even hold the sally, among the flames. Would Garland do that? Instinctively, no. But there might be a reason for it.
I have a horrible feeling my next post is going to involve what is going to basically be a lot of stabbing. Lots of people are going to die, and it all depends on how Rhaenyra/Baela decide to give the Crakehalls a direct intercession from the fires, or help to get the Tyrells out above all else. I too, shall also have to collab on this- and suggest that it's a mega-post from the one of us. Possibly Apoalo?
Also, Abe, if you remember that scene I may have punted ages back, between Garland/Baela...there's a very likely chance it can now happen, albeit in slightly different circumstances :P

Holy fuckballs, that just intensified. Daenys going through on-the-spot justice right there, Gerald attacking, and utter bedlam in the Red Keep. This is going to even need Abe to collab...those dragons are going elsewhere :P
Huzzah. I need sleep, I don't want to wake up to a heart attack mind, so at the very least, if you're going to brutally murder anyone, Willas is someone I'd probably imagine is closest the heart of the storm in there. Though he is a Kingsguarder mind, so he'll take a few. That is, IF you kill him...or do something worse, in which case, I'll be sobbing through my next post :P
*runs from debate*
@Monochromatic Rainbow
Eh, I would assume that whatever the fuck the round is made of is some sterner stuff. It's a specialist round- and I am certain there is more detail to it that hasn't been thrown in, as the post was rapid, but hey, we're taking apart a gunsmith's trade, and I'm eating popcorn to it :P
Anyway, everyone else, please post- you're either jumping out of a plane, or having a BBQ. All good shit.

This. Fuck knows what will happen, all I can say is, there's going to be bodies in the Great Hall, and I'm not quite sure if Willas will walk out of there intact if at all.
