Bio
Hello! I'm Jones! and if you stumbled upon my page, I must have struck your interest!
I like to think that I'm a storyteller. I joined this site to create characters, and worlds I can put myself in. Every post I make will be to the best of my ability, and I hope anyone who stumbles upon my name can see that :D
Just a few things about me if you couldn't tell already by just glancing at my profile haha:
-I LOVE anything Captain America or Marvel related
-I have been RP'ing for over ten years now so I got some experience
- I do my best to try and have a wide range of RP genres
-I'm mostly do 1X1's and Casual/advanced RP's
-I'm a 20 something year old male high school teacher living in the Pacific North West of the US!
- I love meeting new RP'ers and seeing what we can create together!
- I'm a sucker for romance <3
Like i said previously, I’m a high school teacher, so there are specific times of the year where I get bombarded with things so I might not be on for a couple days, and if that's the case I'm trying to let anyone know so they aren't left wondering.
But like I said I love it when people contact me and ask if I want to RP with them, or have an idea and want my skills, and odds are I love the same thing, so If anyone wants to collab just shoot me a PM!
Subjects I love to RP
-Anything Marvel Related, Especially Cap!
-The Percy Jackson Series
-The Witcher
-Mass Effect
-Avatar the Last Airbender
-Anything Sci-Fi
-Harry Potter
- 1X1 Romances
- fantasy
-Modern day life
-Star Wars
-Fairy Tail
Those are pretty much my go to's, but I'm willing to hear out any idea and think about it!
Here's an example of my writing to give you a sense of my "skill" I guess... I keep trying to get better and better so bear with me!
Benjamin West woke up to a loud alarm, and the sun shining through the window and into his eyes. groaned a little as he hit the snooze button, and fell back down onto his pillow. It was an almost perfect plan, until he heard running down the hall and a small voice. "Daddy! Dad wake up!" Ben's daughter Jamie knocked on his door, and continued down the hall to wake her brother up too.
Ben got out of the bed, running a hand through his messy brown hair before drawing the curtains to view the beautiful Virginia forest. He walked across to the room to a nightstand with a picture of a beautiful woman holding a small boy, with the brightest smile in the world. "Buongiorno mio amore" He muttered, touching the picture lightly before walking into the bathroom, getting ready for the day.
Minutes later he came down the stairs dressed in a dark blue sweater, some worn jeans and sneakers. He didn't have a traditional job in the morning, but he did have the all-time job of being a dad. He made his way into the kitchen, a traditional style that Maria helped remodel. Jamie was sitting at the island, finishing some of her homework. Ben rubbed his hand on her head, and walked to the kitchen. "What will it be, Little One? Pancakes? Cereal, eggs?" He asked, turning on the stove.
"Just cereal..." Jamie replied, hard at work. "Just cereal, you got it... Hey, is Marco up? Marco!" Ben yelled, walking to the pantry to receive some cereal. "Daddy, you're still going to help today, right?" Jamie asked. "Yeah, yeah... wait, help with what?" He asked, handing his daughter a bowl and pouring milk in.
"The school fair is today, and you promised to help, remember?" He had been going through so much recently with the legal papers and Marco acting up in school, that he had forgotten all about the fair! "Yeah, I remember sweetheart... I'll be there. Marco! Hurry up, don't make me come up there!"
A couple seconds later Ben's oldest, Marco walked down, not saying a word, only grabbing a bagel from the kitchen counter. "You get your work done, Big Guy? I'm not going to get a note to sign tonight for bad behavior?" Ben asked, looking over at him as he helped Jamie put things in her backpack. Marco shook his head. "Can we go now? We're going to be late."
"Well maybe if someone came down on time we shouldn't be. Come on sweetheart. Everyone in the car! You all got your lunches, right?"
----
The car rides to school were not the most heartfelt and happiest. It was debating on what to listen to on the radio, mixed with passive aggressive remarks from Marco, to Ben giving a speech on how he needs to help out and grow up. When they parked in front of the school, Marco immediately left without saying a word. "Yeah, Love you too!" Ben yelled after him, getting out of the car to help Jamie out. "Alright Little one, when does your fair start?"
"Five o'clock. But volunteers need to be there an hour early to set things up."
"Four o'clock. Got it. And... what did you sign me up to do, exactly?"
"I don't know, the school figures that out, I just put you on the list!"
"Alright, mio amore, I'll be there. Have a good day, I love you." He gave her a kiss on the forehead before letting her go off to her class. He stood next to his car, watching her meet up with her friends. She didn't seem as embarrassed of him as Marco was, it was probably because she was letting him cope with this all. She was a smart girl, too smart if you asked him.
He looked next to him to see a couple of parents (especially mothers) staring over at him. He was famous in a sense, he made a lot of interviews and did a lot of crazy things on his old show that many people would see him as a perfect human being... But he didn't feel that at all. He gave an awkward smile and wave to the crowd, getting into the car before any of them could dive into small talk. He didn't hate talking to people, it was just... difficult. Especially right now.
He would probably do what he did every day. He would call some buddies he had that were still talking about a new season for his show (and politely turn them down), clean the house, and then apparently help at this school fair. It was a change of pace from what he used to do, but this was still just as challenging.
If you have any questions about my RP's, or future ones just shoot me a PM!
All of these people are amazing writers and friends and if you happen to RP with them consider yourself lucky! XD
and for a final note: THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HOBBY, NOT A CHORE! I never want to put pressure on you, or myself and make any RP feel like you NEED to post, or have to force yourself to write. This is supposed to be fun, and I'll do anything to make sure it feels that way :)
Her remark about him lifting the chair into the apartment made him laugh softly, but her face when he handed her the ticked made him nervous yet again. Did he do something wrong? Was something in his teeth? Her question was asked with a smile, so he didn't do anything bad, right? He shook his head, giving a smile. "You made lunch for me yesterday. I may not be a chef, but the least I can do is pay for today." Steve said with a shrug. The look on her face made him realize what he just set in stone. This was a date... When Bucky would try and get them to do a double date, Buck and him would always pay, but it would mostly always end with Bucky with both of the girls (who could blame them? He was everything Steve wasn't)... Did she want this to be a date? Steve liked her, but did Sharon like him? They just met, but should that matter?
His heart pounded as he looked at her beautiful blue eyes again. "What are you in the mood for, Miss Carter?" He asked, looking away from her before his heart started to pound out of his chest.
Steve was comfortable when he was out in tactical situations. When bullets were flying past his head, and the feel of doing something he knows he was meant to do... but now that he had Sharon in his arms, he felt a new kind of comfortable. One that he could get used to... but it ended just as fast as it started. He couldn't blame her, of course. her comment made him laugh. "I actually think they just got rid of that chair at the exhibit." Steve said just ask jokingly. "Maybe you'll get that as a 'welcome to the neighborhood' present."
Steve was the one leading them to the ferry. This was another thing that didn't change while he was gone. As they got closer and closer to the booth, Steve wasn't wondering if him paying or not was a date... Steve still was used to the way of "Always pay for the girl you are with. Date or not." They were now at the ticket booth, and Steve stepped up without really thinking about it. "How're you doing? Two please." Steve said, pulling out his wallet. Steve turned to face Sharon, handing her her ticket. Little did he know that he just confirmed what she was wondering.
Steve smiled brightly at her response to riding on the motorcycle, and nodded. "I'm glad you liked it. and also glad that I was there to witness your first motorcycle ride." He took her soft yet strong hand as she carefully climbed off the bike, and she fell over, leaning on top of him. He grabbed her softly on her arms to prevent her from falling. He looked down at her as she looked up at him with those incredibly stunning eyes... He was just staring, at a loss for words, seeing her smile weakly melted his heart. "....just weird?"
He snapped back to reality, and realized just what she said. He shook his head, giving her a weak smile. "No... First time I got off Bucky's bike he had to give me a piggy back ride... Not really the best self esteem booster for either of us..." Steve said, his brain trying really hard to find the words for that story. "Are you alright?" he finally asked her after his brain started to get under control. "You want a bench to recuperate?" He asked. He didn't mind at all if she still wanted to use him as balance
It didn't take long for the police to come after hearing the large commotion going on in the bank. Peter would entertain the thugs by telling really bad criminal jokes, and now that he thought of it, he probably put Lexi through torture as well. He didn't know how welcoming the police will be to the other masked hero in the city. It took him a giant battle with the Lizard to gain the respect of the police... but hopefully Spider-Man can give her a good word, so she doesn't start too low like he did. Don't get him wrong, after this robbery he thought she was more than capable of evading the cops, especially with her stealth, but it can be overwhelming.
"Not bad for your first rodeo, Miss Cat." Spider-Man said as he watched the thugs being thrown in to the back of a SWAT car. The hostages were being helped by the paramedics, and some even came over to say their thanks, a bit unsure about Catwoman, but when people saw the two talking, they warmed up to her pretty quick. "Oh Saturday nights. you never disappoint in absolutely amazing me..." he said quietly, looking over at lexi, a smile under his mask. He didn't know how this whole crime fighting thing will work. will they split the city half and half? work together, take shifts? He didn't want to take shifts, that would mean they would never see each other! And he wanted to see Lexi Rogers more than Catwoman just as much as she wanted to see Peter Parker over Spider-Man.
As everything started to clear out, Peter brushed his hand at the bottom of her back. "You still up for crime fighting? Or are you calling it a night?" He asked just as playfully as she did to him many times tonight.
"No, no plans, except I have to finish the Star Wars saga sometime, but that can wait." He said, turning away from her to find his keys, he then climbed on to the bike himself, turning to look at the blonde once more in his helmet. She even looked gorgeous in that! "All aboard." Steve said, his heart thumping as he felt her body get on the bike. And as for the girlfriend part he laughed and shook his head. "Believe it or not... This is one of the longest conversations I've had with a woman." He said honestly, his mind thinking of Peggy once again, but those images soon faded as he started the bike, and rode down the street, and miss Sharon carter holding on to his waist. Her touch was electrifying, like he was being injected with the serum again! His muscles tensed not to try and impress her, but because he was getting nervous yet again.
The ride through the streets of New York was great, the cold weather was a least of Steve's worries. He drove through lanes of traffic, looking back at Sharon to see her staring at the skyscrapers. This place was so much different than it was in 1939, and much different from the battle of New York. As they drove he saw people wearing iron man masks, others holding Thor's hammer, and he smiled a bit when he was kids wearing his helmet and shield. What made this much better was the feel of Sharon's body close to his, her as tight around him, and the smell of her cinamon perfume.
They eventually made it to the end of the island, where they could catch a ferry to Liberty island. He climbed off first, offering his hand to help her off. "So, how was the first bike ride?" Steve asked with yet another smile he couldn't stop producing.
Steve had no idea that the "holding doors open for women" died down, but if he was told he would have been greatly upset! When she talked about not having a car, Steve shook his head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you in any way..." He said , seeing how embarrassed she got. First minute of their get together and he's already failing. But she then talked about never being in a motorcycle, and he smiled. "Motorcycle it is. I wasn't a fan of them until I used it back in the military." He said: he had a nice one too, which he would use to travel across Europe on it... But his newer one is even better. Who knew what 70 years could do to a bike!
"I'll try to take it slow so you don't have to cling for dear life." Steve said, although he wish he didn't. He walked over to his bike, and pulled out of the side pouch a motorcycle helmet, it was a glossy dark blue, like what his captain America suit color looked like. He didn't dare Add the white "A" to the front. He would end up like stark!
"You can wear this if you want. I think my head is too thick to break." Steve smiled again. He couldn't help it! He had no intention of crashing, or doing anything stupid with her on board. "We can drove around a bit to see the city, since you and I haven seen this place in a while... Did she want to stay on, or just make their way to Lady Liberty?
Well as I'm reading the characters, some have that message, like yours, Metro! And those are awesome! So now that I'm looking at it, there's definitely people who are capable of becoming something close to the Cap! I love these characters you guys make that makes me think about it a bit more hahaha
All are accepted, but if there's something that i would like changed, I'll send ya a PM
Steve laughed at her comment on the trolls, and finding something for heavy lifting. He waited for her to lock her door, and letting her lead the way, he walked after her. "If it was anything but apples, I may have had to say no." Steve said jokingly, glancing over at her, but instantly back as he almost tripped on a step. Steve had already mapped out the place long ago, he assumed that there were many people who would want Captain Steve Rogers dead... he could never be too careful.
They both stepped outside, and the temperature dropped rather quickly... But that didn't stop a group of kids playing good old fashioned street baseball. Steve watched them for a second, smiling at the thought that some traditions weren't dead in this modern New York. Steve never got the chance to play way back when... due to his asthma, and vitamin deficiencies, and the fact that if the ball ever did make contact with the bat, his arm would have snapped.
"So, we can take a walk to Lady Liberty on this wonderful sunny day." Steve said with a bit of sarcasm. "Or we can take your car, a taxi, or my bike." Steve said. He didn't know if she had a car or not, and didn't want to make her feel like they had to take his motorcycle... although the feeling of her arms around him would probably feel pretty good... No, stop Steve. You just met the girl!
Steve Rogers woke up on his couch, to the title screen of a Star Wars movie... After working out the day before, he ordered some pizza, and put in the next episode of Star Wars. It amazed him how great the effects were, but most people would laugh at him saying so now. He wondered what Sharon was doing as he was watching it, but decided not to make himself look desperate... girls didn't like that, right? It didn't take long for him to pass out though, what with him flying to the Alps, fighting off soldiers, and diving down the mountain side...
Now that he was awake, he looked at the clock and saw that it was 5 in the morning. Steve dressed in a sweatshirt and pants, quietly made his way out of his apartment to not wake anyone, and silently exited the apartment. It didn't take him long to run around all of Manhattan Island. As the day went on though, he saw that it was going to be cold... Would Sharon be okay with spending time with him with this weather? He jogged back to his apartment, it now being 7. Once in his apartment he took a shower, making sure to wash out all the sweat, and debris from yesterday's Alps adventure.
He spent a while pacing back and forth at his wardrobe, thinking on what to wear.... After many attempts to find something, he settled on one outfit . He did his hair in a neat and tidy fashion (but not greased down and fit perfectly, it natural, of course), brushed his teeth (white and shiny!), and put on a bit of cologne. Was this too much? He didn't know what this was, but he really didn't want to make a bad impression. But then again, he's Captain America! the living legend! Don't get too full of yourself, Rogers. You're still the guy from Brooklyn.
What felt like an eternity passed, and it was finally 1:57. Would he look weird if he showed up then? Should he wait at exactly 2? No, that would be weirder... He grabbed his keys, his motorcycle ones too. he thought it would be easier than walking across the island, and of course his S.H.I.E.L.D. card that let him buy basically anything... he hesitated grabbing his shield... he shouldn't need it, right? They were just going to lady liberty. And he didn't want to look like he was trying to show off... He made the long way across the hall, and knocked a couple times before stepping back, his hands folded in a military manner. The door opened, and he was yet again amazed at how she looked. Everything from her hair in the pony tail to the shoes she wore made Steve feel nervous yet happy at the same time. He snapped out of his trance. "Hm? Oh! yeah, the trolls were no problem. I keep calling the pest control guys about it. Always think I'm joking." Steve smiled.
"Are you ready to go? Or do you need something heavy to be carried first?" Steve said jokingly although he wouldn't mind at all if he did have to lift anything. Steve would be willing to lift the Empire State building if she asked.

He had been going through so much recently with the legal papers and Marco acting up in school, that he had forgotten all about the fair! "Yeah, I remember sweetheart... I'll be there. Marco! Hurry up, don't make me come up there!" <br><br>A couple seconds later Ben's oldest, Marco walked down, not saying a word, only grabbing a bagel from the kitchen counter. "You get your work done, Big Guy? I'm not going to get a note to sign tonight for bad behavior?" Ben asked, looking over at him as he helped Jamie put things in her backpack. Marco shook his head. "Can we go now? We're going to be late."<br><br>"Well maybe if someone came down on time we shouldn't be. Come on sweetheart. Everyone in the car! You all got your lunches, right?" <br><br>----<br><br>The car rides to school were not the most heartfelt and happiest. It was debating on what to listen to on the radio, mixed with passive aggressive remarks from Marco, to Ben giving a speech on how he needs to help out and grow up. When they parked in front of the school, Marco immediately left without saying a word. "Yeah, Love you too!" Ben yelled after him, getting out of the car to help Jamie out. "Alright Little one, when does your fair start?"<br><br>"Five o'clock. But volunteers need to be there an hour early to set things up."<br><br>"Four o'clock. Got it. And... what did you sign me up to do, exactly?"<br><br>"I don't know, the school figures that out, I just put you on the list!"<br><br>"Alright, mio amore, I'll be there. Have a good day, I love you." He gave her a kiss on the forehead before letting her go off to her class. He stood next to his car, watching her meet up with her friends. She didn't seem as embarrassed of him as Marco was, it was probably because she was letting him cope with this all. She was a smart girl, too smart if you asked him.<br><br>He looked next to him to see a couple of parents (especially mothers) staring over at him. He was famous in a sense, he made a lot of interviews and did a lot of crazy things on his old show that many people would see him as a perfect human being... But he didn't feel that at all. He gave an awkward smile and wave to the crowd, getting into the car before any of them could dive into small talk. He didn't hate talking to people, it was just... difficult. Especially right now. <br><br>He would probably do what he did every day. He would call some buddies he had that were still talking about a new season for his show (and politely turn them down), clean the house, and then apparently help at this school fair. It was a change of pace from what he used to do, but this was still just as challenging.</div></div><br><br>If you have any questions about my RP's, or future ones just shoot me a PM!<br><br><span class="bb-b">Writers I adore</span><br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/alexakeehl">alexakeehl</a><br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/akayaofthemoon">Akayaofthemoon</a> <br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/blindwoofer">blindwoofer</a><br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/nightwing95">Nightwing95</a> ((We need to start a project sometime!))<br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/kzombi3">KZOMB13</a><br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/saz01">Saz01</a><br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/sinfulskills">EasilyAmused</a> ((My oldest and best friend on the site :D ))<br><br><a href="https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/wistfulwords">wistfulwords</a><br><br>All of these people are amazing writers and friends and if you happen to RP with them consider yourself lucky!
