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.
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!
Ellion's gonna feel on top of the world, but there is going to be something in the future that's gonna kick him in the balls for his cockiness, methinks. Alerie is also incredibly deceptive- if you think Jaehaerys is the only person she's gonna lead, watch what she can do, I really do want her to play people against each other....well, particular men that is :D
Awesome shit. I saw some of the supernatural- it is definitely curious, and while I'm never a huge fan, I'd almost be tempted to play a bit of a lore with the newer Tyrells that they're resistant to the thorns and cutting nature of say, a rosebush, as a weird trait they have as keen gardeners (something with Merlin in particular). If it doesn't fit, then no worries- but it's something I played with in the last GoT RP.
I'm very on the fence about doing a jousting collab with yourself- part of me wants to do it, though I wouldn't know how to write an outcome to it all without him seeming too dominant or negating the battle of him and Viserys.
Pretty much. Respond to Willas/Alerie if you like btw as a short post, I think Abe wants to do a convo with me and actually has a titanpad prepped for the posting?
@MrDidact I also wanted to ask because I'm curious. How much Dragon lore have the Targaryans recovered? there are several key things specifically I'd like to know if the historians would know and any charcters would know.
1. Targaryen's aren't fire proof 2. A dragon due to it's long life can have many riders 3. That not all Targaryen's can ride dragon 4. that riding another person's dragon is a suicide (I recognize this contradicts 2) 5. That anyone with targaryen blood including Tyrion can attempt to tame and ride a dragon
As an additional note, are dragons comfortable with non-Targaryen passengers?
I could do a collab with ya btw, but I'm not sure how to work the setup of it all, and whether or not Ellion does any more fighting is really dependent on if the GM wants to keep things moving, which I'd be inclined to given that I want Ellion to do some non-martial things.
Not sure if I should, or shouldn't post. I don't know how much longer Willas is gonna talk to Tyrion, and if I'm leaving Alerie for a little while, but I know there's something I can do with Ellion. Not sure if I want him to keep jousting or not, or throw him to the melee- he's good for either I imagine.
