It is with my fondest resolution to have an impact on as many lives as possible in mind that I say "BREATHE MANUALLY NOW!" Okay thanks. Now back to writing things only I can enjoy.

I get the impression that it's best to put as much info into the interest check as possible, just so players know what they're getting themselves into as soon as possible.

Woouldn't you know that work picks up just when things are getting good. But I'm nothing if not stubborn when it comes to my crazy ideas.

Yes but that which doesn't drown you can make for an unforgettable Summer (or Autumn, whatever).

Even the shallow end of the pool can look like the deep end if you're small enough.

Greetings visitor! I hope you're having a good day! Whether you've seen me around the guild or not, I should admit that it's only been within year-6 of my time on this site that I've bothered to start work on this here "bio". I feel like I should apologize for not making it a higher priority much sooner, but lately I've adopted that "better late than never" mindset when it comes to introductions, and besides, I doubt there was much to tell in my early years anyway. I'm pretty much an amateur writer who got my start as a minor tag-along player in a fandom AU campaign ran by a small, close-nit remnant of a community formerly in association with a notable strategy-gaming youtuber. I'm being vague for brevity's sake. In the end, I value my first exposure to roleplaying as a personal learning experience more than anything, as I'm definitely the kind of person that sequesters themselves in any given community they find themselves in and RPG is certainly no exception.

That pretty much explains what I've been up to for the last several or so years, with only occasional public posts from me, as private 1x1 roleplays are easily where the lion's share of my attention goes to. Details regarding my particular interests and even approach as a prospective partner can be found in the interest check I update very rarely, but if you'd like to have a link to it or want to work with me in a similar capacity, then PMs are the best way to reach me. As for what you can expect in very broad terms, I'll say that I'm a 90s kid who'd grown up on Nintendo and Cartoon Network where, thanks to Toonami, I've developed an appreciation for the Japanese style of animation, a style that commonly influences my own creative endeavors to this day. That is in no way to say that I'm an avid watcher of anime and the like (I have my tastes and while that does sometimes coincide with what's current, it usually doesn't), just that I gravitate toward the ludicrous, extraordinary concepts and settings they commonly facilitate. That style aligns with what excites me creatively. That's the long and short of it. Exceptions do exist of course.

In Mangrale's Miscellaneous Character Showcase → 6 yrs ago Forum: 1x1 Interest Checks
Greetings and thank you for stopping by.



I'm looking for partners willing to work with me and possibly take the lead in a story.

Please PM me if interested
║Preface║

When I say "take the lead in a story", I'm not completely dismissing myself from providing at least a reasonable amount of world building due the character(s) I'll be playing as, but of course I would prefer that whatever I bring to the project to supplement a plot and world largely of your own making; my level of involvement can of course be negotiated over, and I would advise that we do so prior to starting. Even depending on how we feel at the start or as the RP progresses, I may be incited/convinced to increase what I'm responsible for, to a point naturally. Please keep these things in mind when contacting me.
║Prerequisites and Expectations║

  • Age Restriction
    It certainly won't hurt your chances if you're 18 years or older. I generally keep things fairly mild, but not being restricted in what I can write is always a preference. If you are in fact a minor, then you should say as much when contacting me.
  • Pairing and Romance
    My preference is MxF when it comes to anything involving romance, but I'm capable of playing either role and even multiple side characters.* Additionally, while I'm not opposed to romance coming into play in RPs where courtship isn't necessarily the focus, it should be implemented naturally into the story.
  • Maturity and Subject Matter
    Violence, language and some suggestive themes are among what's permissible for the most part on a basic level, and can vary in drgree depending on setting and plot. But I personally won't push for overtly erotic material. If it ever comes down to it, "Fading to Black" is my first choice (especially keeping in mind the point below), but the matter is up for discussion if you feel so inclined.
  • Average Response Rate
    I'm capable of writing at least around 2-3 paragraphs every week (Approx. 1K - 2K chars per post). Output may vary at times, but that's the benchmark you should feel comfortable falling back on.
  • Stance on Ghosting
    Admitting disinterest or loss of circumstance to continue can be difficult at times, so I'm attempting a new practice wherein essentially after 28 days without a response from you, the RP will close indefinitely. A heads up well beforehand will be appreciated of course.


Thank you for coming this far.

Character Showcase

This is an experimental arrangement that I've considered doing for a while now. I tended to be the sort that based their interest in an RP on the character concept they could potentially develop, so this can be seen as one potential application of that mindset. Below is a periodically (possibly) expanding selection of premade characters assigned under their respective genres among other pertinent information. If you're interested in playing with a certain character and willing to accommodate them, please message me with your choice along with at least a basic pitch concerning your setting and plot ideas. We will discuss from there.

Edmond could scarcely believe his eyes as he beheld their interactions with the entity, notably Carson's hostility towards it, which invoked a rather unsettling response in return. Whatever threatened and unnerved sensation came over the boy, was nevertheless secondary to just how utterly ludicrous this all seemed to him, so ludicrous in fact, that whether or not he was kidnapped was becoming less of a concern of his. This might have been for the best, as he wasn't inclined to trust the possessed plush toy. Even the thought of him, let alone the several of them, being chosen out of all mankind for some kind of game was downright absurd. "This... none of this can be real... am I still asleep?" Ed spoke in quiet incredulity. Backing away from the teacher's desk, he began to seriously consider that he was dreaming, figuring he must have fallen asleep while on the bus. Easy as it was to assume that was what happened, his memory was actually fairly cloudy.

Scrutinizing the room around him, the boy would approach one of the chairs, lowering to his knees to run his hand along it. If he was honest, the tangibly hard surface of the seat was less than encouraging, not to mention he could swear to picking up some dust here and there. Unfortunately, the mounting evidence to the contrary didn't extinguish his poorly considered theory before he decided that maybe he could simply will himself awake. Placing his backpack at his side, Edmond sat down and closed his eyes to concentrate, hands over his knees. After what felt to him like a minute, his eyes would open to reveal a faint glow about them. "Wha-What is happening? A-Am I waking up?..." he uttered aloud before the light around him distorted and enveloped him in a flat wave until he looked to completely disappear. No matter which angle one would look, all they would see is the chair and his backpack next to it.

I'll very much attempt to get a post out soon, likely Friday when I get the chance.

But lately, Ive also been considering changing my character's power. I had originally considered Photokinesis as a way to create and control illusions (it sort of matched his character), but I had changed it because LordofthePies had already picked it by the time I was ready to post the CS.

I'm sorry to ask, and it will certainly be the last request I make. If you can let me know one way or another so I can have it for my next post, I'd appreciate it.

I'm just wondering aloud if the join status should change, seeing how a spot just opened up.

Any any rate, I'll try and post again sometime before the weekend.

At Carson's disgruntled call for the others to shut up, Ed couldn't help but to perk up in his seat, a spur to move after the stuffed cat initially roused him from his slumber, which was less than sound as evident from his infrequent spasms prior. His lethargic hand lifted up to his head, in recognition of the sharp headache that would plague him for just a few more minutes. Yet with what faculty he mustered, the boy was forced into realizing his new surroundings, the implication of a possible kidnapping, no, multiple kidnapping, sending a jolt to his legs, that saw him almost jump out of his uneven and rickety chair, only to fail to keep him off the likely just as dingy floor. Toppling onto his front, Edmond's voice let out in a weak cry at the sudden grounding, but slowly made his way back up, even if unsteadily so. From, where he was situated, he could not make out the talking plush toy from behind the others grouped around it and therefore didn't pay them mind for the moment, instead turning to face his chair, taking a somewhat relieved step back to it and lightly kicking it aside to reveal his backpack underneath.

But even with the pack where it belonged, Edmond wasn't quite in the right frame of mind to begin to imagine what was going on. This whole situation was strange, no question. But it felt less like a "normal" kidnapping by the minute. Not only has he not been bounded to his seat, but he was allowed access to his stuff. Regardless of what was happening however, he wanted no part of it and therefore turned to the walls opposite of the teacher's desk in an attempt to spot any possible exits. Yet the room was indeed very dark save for the immediate area by the windows, a profound darkness that took advantage of his immediate trepidation enough to prompt a different course of action for the time being. Yet he did muster up enough courage to approach the desk, a relatively good amount of courage since there were two older boys that both had a around a foot over him. Ed was ready to demand answers, an explanation, and if there was opportunity, to plead for leniency on his own behalf. But at the sight of the oddly dressed plush cat, he would stop in his tracks. "Eh... what is this? A toy... and... he is alive? I do not understand," the boy uttered in disbelief, pointing at it and looking at the others to make sure they were seeing what he was.

I'm fine either way.

I've got a lot to do now, but I'll try and post either late today or tomorrow.

@Kuroyomihime
Here's my CS. I had to make some edits, but let me know if you want any more changes done.


Name: Edmond “Ed” Roux
Age: 13
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 108 lbs
Appearance: The picture is partly a reference for how he looks when activating his power. His eyes are naturally blue. It’s just that when not using his power, they don’t glow unnaturally and energy isn’t bending around him.

Power: Psychic Infusion
Ed can imbue objects and beings with his own psionic energy, altering or amplifying their qualities and efficiency. He may even enhance the special abilities of others.

Intro Post: Edmond listlessly kicked away a small stone he’d found on his trek along a stretch of train tracks, but felt the urge to continue on his way otherwise. With his school backpack draped over his shoulders, he could feel its weight starting to wear against him. It was especially heavy today. Sliding his hands into his sweater’s front pockets, his mind turned to how cold it’d eventually get, and he inwardly patted himself on the back for sneaking into the old trainyard where he secretly changed his clothes. What’s more, hardly anyone would look twice at him now that he was out of his uniform.

Diverting from the tracks and the abandoned field of uneven overgrowth that surrounded them, Edmond moved on until he reached a public street, doing his best to blend in with a midday crowd of pedestrians. In no time he found himself timidly waiting at a bus stop, careful to avoid eye contact with anyone waiting also, and especially not with any passengers he passed by on his way to the back of the transit, where he set his backpack at his feet and wistfully looked outside his seat’s side window.

Other: Edmond’s first language is french, but he also speaks english with a noticeable accent.

I'm also interested, if that's alright.
