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!

TBH, his posting right now relies a lot on you. KL I think is mostly in the hands of Gerald now, and what he decides to do when the walls and gates are on fire, and only two are left.

New call sign, Volkov and "She-Wolf", it goes well....it's not that she's gritty, it's the fact that in her own right, she's a badass woman, it sounds strange, but it would appear in her gear that she wouldn't be heavily feminine (though dem boobs maybe?)- so I agree on that one. There's a personality in there, and it definitely comes through. With a Pechneg Bullpup, if you absolutely need to murder everyone in a small area with lots of thin walls, it'll do the job really well. Not so good for hostage situations, mind.
Merlin in turn is an interesting one- while I would say he has elements of Voodoo shamelessly thrown into his character, he's a pretty unique one as far as I would have run him, being a weathered and hardcore motherfucker. Bearded, mountain of an individual, and a certain kind of attitude that is frightening if faced in the wrong way; he has this sharp mindset that can do his job very well, yet at the same time, kick people's heads in when the red mist descends, apply a level of violence that is maybe a little questionable. He has got a heart under that, but he still has this absolutely driven mindset to fuck people up, in whatever way works best at the time.

To be fair, that call-sign sits nicely with me. I can imagine Aleksandra being a no-bullshit person, and it was nice to read it over once again, definitely making her sound pretty fucking hardcore- the appearances both work well together now I read it. A bullpup Pechneg is also interesting, because in Russia, a bullpup MMG is a sound idea :) Makes for a...well, a very close-in heavy weapon. A bit different to Merlin's LSAT, which I would think is likely to be handled in his hands like an assault rifle, but with a belt, just due to how light it is for an LMG and his figure.
Fair dos- but for all our sakes, let's hope he comes back :D
Eh, you could see that Dima after jumping out of the plane...fell away from the RP...

He is really busy with real life stuff, military real life stuff. So I won't burn him for it- I mean, if he comes back, I'm happy to have him on board, it's understandable in some way, but I will continue the RP on as we do.

Anyone going to post?

Just read up on him, not good at all.
It's not the fear of Garland, Alerie, Willas, any of my characters dying, or even of bad things to come. It was just the uncertainty of it in the future, how I make his character work, and the worry that I can't adapt to it in a way that I would feel would neither be a really stupid out of character act or at least make something that seems coherent, that isn't isolationist. I think I know what I'm doing now- I reckon as I say, my next post won't be a collab, but will be a chance to clear things up after the anarchy that has unfolded across the city. Though after thinking over it, chatting to people, and calming down a bit about it, it's just kinda going with that roll of the dice and the way the various mechanisms come in place; it's working out exactly what Garland would do, and with a mindset like his, in a position that he's in, it is a very scary thing indeed. :P

I think I've got a better state of mind now, I think I just wasn't sure of myself at all, quite worried and panicky about what I would have to do, and the consequences. I've kinda thought it over, spoke to some people, and I think I might have a better idea and understanding the situation from other people's eyes, and using that to at least better understand what I would have Garland think in that moment. I think that was why I was a little sketchy on my last post- it didn't feel right, not until after it was edited.
I've written for six years, and I cannot remember the last time this happened to me at all, so yeah. I should be fine, I think :)
