For as long as I can remember I've been a writer. I've made characters and told tales. I've painted pictures and shared information. I've struck nerves and inspired. I've been an artist with words. A gamer whose only console is the English language itself.
But now so much has changed in my life. So much has happened that has left me wordless. I am not the same. But still I write. Only now I'm trying to find a new voice. A new style. A different genre to suit an upgraded and expansive point of view.
The old rules no longer apply. I'm tired of hyperrealism. I've had it up to here (very high up) with antiheroes. When everyone's an antihero, the villains have won. I'm so sick of the jaded cynicism of modernity and the deconstructive apathy of post modernity.
Sure, sometimes the hopelessness arises. Sometimes it's overwhelming. It's depressing to see how divisive everything is becoming, how AI slop is taking over the internet while creative humans languish in obscurity, how prevalent addictions and job insecurity are becoming in supposedly first world nations. Sometimes it feels like the whole world is about to really burn down all around us.
But that's why we can't give up. Why storytellers, writers, and potential protagonists of our own tales can't stop sharpening our wits or flexing our imaginations. When doom seems certain and darkness fills the foreseeable future, that's when a new story - a story of light and hope - is needed the most. And WE can tell that story.
I'm looking for a few good rps in which to stretch my creativity. I'm not looking for anything too dark, lewd, or demonic. Nothing that glorifies sorcery or homosexuality. Nothing that overuses mature themes like they're some kind of addiction. Please no edgelords, murderhobos, or haters.
I want romances that not only fade to black but that don't focus exclusively on sexual passion a if that's the only part of love that there is. I want lighthearted adventures, yes with intense or perhaps even horrific moments, but with the hope filled promise of a happy ending. I want themes like Iyashikei and NobleBright.
I want superhero roleplays that are more four color comic book style adventures than grim and gritty realism. I want slices of life that are more about joy and healing than drama and strife. I want Star Wars roleplays that reach back to a time before George Lucas and then Disney started changing and ruining everything - a time when there were just three movies and an expanded universe that wasn't set in stone.
I guess want I'm saying is I want to write things that aren't too popular these days, but might've been popular decades ago.
If that sounds like something that interests you, let me know.
Here's the thing, my original concept was a staked and torpored medieval ventrue who had shamed his sire over a dalliance with a lasombra, to wake up in modern nights. But then looking at the power levels and the vibe that your going for, I figured it'd be safer to just make it all in his head instead of actual backstory.
Because if my original character idea did wake up in modern nights he'd be on the road of heaven instead of humanity, hed already have been taught an outdated sense of the basics of being a vampire like it was just yesterday, and he'd be much more tempted to turn antitribu and join the Sabbat. And he'd probably be afraid of technology.
But I know the clans and their stereotypes. Everybody knows that even the most normal seemingly malkavian is completely messed up in the head somehow. In alot of the old WoD rulebook and sourcebooks, breaking those stereotypes for the sake of creating unique characters and having fun is encouraged though. And the trope of "insane rulers" makes ventrue, lasombra, tzimisce, toreador and tremere decent candidates for characters with derangements as well as any malkavian.
The true faith I thought of as balancing it out because of merits & flaws. But it's really just the idea of something positive (Faith in the Christian way) having a possibility of making things happen in the game, to balance out an overall negative (being insane isn't fun, even if it can occasionally be portrayed as funny or interesting) that might limit his ability to make things happen with the ease that other characters would have. P
Idk. Maybe I should just try a different concept for this. Because I really would rather preserve my original idea. And I don't know if he'd fit well into the family of vampires idea that your going for.
I have a concept for a bit of a mad ventrue who's an outcast because the embrace broke his hold on reality and sort of convinced him that he was living in a medieval parody of the modern world. I was hoping to balance his madness out with true faith if you'd allow that?
