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!

Shit, that is a good point. I can do their bastard ways quite well. I'm aware of the sorta context- I might go save me a seat. :)

That RP is missing a House, if you get my drift....dammit, I need to play characters in the GoT world that aren't fucking Tyrells! :P (though I think I'd probably be okay with doing a different house, not too sure where though)

I want Ellion to volunteer, but I feel that makes it way too many. I want him to go do some other badass shit somewhere. :)
Ross had foot to floor down the freeway, hitting sixth. The turbos in flutter, it was noisy and fast and exiting like hell, as he didn't even make waste of the fact that it was clear in front. Kimberly was overtaking a R8 and Gallardo, both were so locked on each other, that they didn't even see the Mustang fly by, and Ross had to join while the gap was there. Yet it wasn't. It narrowed, as he hit the hard shoulder, then coming back onto the main road, side by side with the R8, the engine whining as he duelled the Audi, the two close, the R8's driver only having the advantage of a little more optimisation at this speed, while the RX7 felt far more unstable and ludicrous. Yet Ross made it stick, passing by and keeping foot glued, aware that Ellie was by his side, quiet. He didn't feel the need to talk, he didn't when he raced often, he just took it in and focussed on tailing Kimberly, the sight of the signs for LAX coming into view, the RX7 ready for one last charge to the terminal parking lot, to tail Kimberly and the leading pack.

Seb nodded, as he looked over, watching Kimberly at the wheel. It was nothing short of insanity, weaving and bobbing traffic, knowing this was mad. Yet she was in control, perhaps like he was himself at times. This was something where he had to hold on, and just let her steer him. This would be fine, he said to himself, and no doubt, the lights in the rear could only say that they were not alone in going balls to the wall fast on the road.
"Just fine, fuck this is awesome!"

Ahaha :P It's more of a "Well, she might be quite good at this malarkey" type moment. In all that armour, you probably wouldn't see it all...sheesh, she has a lot of mail.
Didact, is it the same as the one we were using before?

Haha, meanie! :P

Hell of a post there. Though for that duel...it'd be a hell of a thing to see Mirren up on the spot. Bring her out of the shadows and into it after all she's done, perhaps. Garlan isn't up to it- and I think he knows while Gendry's a beast, he's probably past it too. Wheras Mirren...would work well a nice theme to run her character to. :)
