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.

@DocRock@Jerkchicken That sounds like quite the generous offer, you two. The only reservation I have stem from myself not knowing enough about the majority of the RF franchise to offer much help in development, and I wouldn't want to distract the two of you when it comes to your DM discussion. Perhaps the discord link would be preferable, if only because I imagine one of you would have ended up creating one eventually. I could use more experience with the platform anyway. Thank you.

Maybe I'll start giving thought to the character I'll play, at least as far as general stuff (no need for a CS template so soon). It's not as though I'm counting my eggs before they hatch. I'd just like the diversion and I reckon I'd wind up making a character for an RF roleplay anyway.
@DocRock I have given thought to getting back on in some way, though nowadays it takes more effort to make the time. I just wanted to show my interest, in case you guys should refer back to this thread months and months down the line and call back on anyone that showed such interest. Course, that's assuming you don't update this thread with your progress, though I surely wouldn't ask such a course of action from you. I at least have a fair idea of how hard the follow through of a project can be.

Honestly though, I played the first few RF titles when I was still experimenting to find the sort of games that most appealed to me. It seems that I do not have the knack or patience for farm simulators as I could have, but the approachable fantasy backdrop appealed to me, and the RPG action element didn't hurt either.
Haven't dabbled in RF since the early games that have all but faded from my memory by now. I actually might be interested in joining should you reach that point. Either way, good luck.
Well it felt like a long shot to begin with. I know when I'm licked. Playing catch-up in an RP of this scale is one thing, but what I'm hashing out isn't clicking with me, too much on my end is getting in the way and I don't want to have to hold a whole team back. I'm gonna have to bow out of this. It's a really neat concept though. Good luck everyone. :)
I'll see what I could do. Third time's the charm then. (;-;)
I suppose I could switch over to gunner as well. But do you think we're set as far as native Japanese?
I had a change of character idea a few days ago, but while I'm still going for a striker, I am leaning towards someone of Japanese heritage, though they may not have grown up strictly within the region the RP takes place.
@Saltwater Thief Alright. Since my post I've been deciding between a striker and a gunner. May yet go with both if the character limit rises.

Edit: Didn't want to make a whole new post, but I did want to stop by and say I've decided on a striker. I'll probably have something tomorrow.
I could be interested in this. But I'm curious as to what class everyone is considering before I commit to an idea or two.

At any rate, I suppose I might settle on an idea starting tomorrow.
Mirza


There was a pleasant predictability that came with hunting wild game, that consensus reoccurring even after similar excursions under duly tangible stakes commonly spurred the rogue to muse as regards the hearsay of the pastime attaining to the level of sport among certain circles of nobility. Justifiably enough, the reasonably consistent state of his circumstances had largely led to a lack of detailed cognition of the affairs belonging to members of higher stations, people who have reached a state where survival itself is a trifle and diversion is an event all its own. One imagines they might have weighty responsibilities just like anyone else and the amusement, however peculiar, may go a long way towards enrichment in the face of life's uncertainties.

He did have to admit, after a particularly stiff breeze rushed passed his hair and his resulting annoyance over his situation led his gaze to wander across the setting, from the late morning radiance that sparsely fell through the highest forest canopy and to a nearby crystalline stream set in a nigh timelessly verdant backdrop, that perhaps here lied a natural beauty that in some ways might make for an experience that can be appreciated regardless of one's position along the scale of affluence.

The branch crackled minutely in complaint underneath his boots, a shock that forced him to refocus and curse his luck that the five hundred pound wild bear showed itself just after he had successfully pinned an arrow to the side of a young doe's neck a few inches from the shoulder. The would-be prey frantically darted off. Securing it should have only been a matter of tracking it down and dispatching it when it's weak. Instead the chase was interrupted by the altogether more ferocious predator, Mirza breaking away from the chase and scrambling his way up the first large tree he could find. There were certain measures in mind in the event of the beguilingly fluffy monster tailing him, but his luck wasn't that terrible as it turned out and after waiting for a generous amount of time with no bear in sight, he dropped down to the forest floor, miffed and finding the scenery to be of lacking consolation in light of his gnawing hunger.

But whereas the sense of adventure was enough to satiate the thrill-mongering wealthy, Mirza wasn't giving up until he had something to show for his efforts, though preferably something better than the prolific dark berries which he suspected were poisonous. In the end he returned to camp with two skinned rabbits, a very embellished story and a small bagful of tart but not untasty berries. At one of the campfires, the "hunter" could be found sluggishly preparing a pot of stew, enough to easily last him the whole day with some left over. He hadn't the slightest clue where the deer he shot had ended up, his thoughts dwelling upon its enigmatic fate.
