I started ATLA late, around Covid. But I love the first series and think TLoK is pretty good despite some problems

I never notice someone's post count until I see (ignore post count) and then I totally look at it, out of habit and curiosity.

Bio






About Me








Name: Ben
Username: The one and only. Dare I say?
Age: 33
Ethnicity: Mixed
Sex: Male
Religion: Christian (Nondenominational)
Languages: English, Japanese (Semi-fluent & learning), I also know some Scots Gaelic, Quenyan (Elvish), and Miccosukee (My tribal tongue)
Relationship Status: Single (Though generally unavailable unless I find I really enjoy someone).






Current Projects/Freelance work

  • I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
  • I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
  • I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.




Interests (Includes but is not limited to)

  • Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
  • Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
  • Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
  • History (Military History is my specialty)
  • Zoology
  • Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
  • Voice Acting/Singing
  • Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
  • Weaponry of all kinds
  • Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
  • Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
  • Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
  • Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
  • There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P




Roleplay F.A.Q.

  • Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
  • Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
  • I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
  • I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
  • I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

My Interest Check


Interest Check


Hi, thanks for stopping by. You probably have seen me around the site, as I'm a huge forum slut who somehow gets to know a lot of people. However, I tend to have a far narrower list of people I roleplay with (more on that soon). All you really need to know about me personally is that I'm a 29 year old guy.

Now, as pertaining to my roleplaying.
  • I write advanced posts. Good grammar, sexy vocabulary, usually over four paragraphs per post. I expect the same from you.
  • Communication and creativity is something I try to have, and you'll need the same. Talk to me and make plots and NPCs! I love hearing people's suggestions on things.
  • I have the right to tell you no. If you contact me to roleplay and I feel like our style doesn't/wouldn't mesh, it won't be personal. I have a limited amount of time to roleplay, so I prefer to enjoy it 95% of the time.
  • All of my roleplays are 18+ so you need to be over that age. I love dark themes, violence, and though I don't usually do smut, if I'm comfortable with you then I'm open to it.
  • I prefer if you DM me your interest, but I won't get mad if you ping me here.
  • My writing influences are R.A. Salvatore, William King, Richard Baker, Robert E. Howard, Robert Jordan, and R. Lee Byers.
  • If we already have a roleplay together, feel free to still contact me! This isn't just for new people.
  • I love a good mixture of both grim realism and over the top actions and themes.


P.S. Feel free to tell me if you like certain aspects of my plots but want to switch something up. Or have another plot you'd think I would like!



Plots


Grimdark Fantasy: It's a vast wilderness in the northern hemisphere, called the 'Northern Marches' filled with monsters, ancient demons, invading barbarians, and various other dangers. The map is dotted with unique city states that hire out mercenaries to keep the road clear and the money flowing.

Inspirations: Warhammer, Conan, LOTR, and D&D


Pirate Roleplay: Through the storms and the blazing sun, the Sea of Swords is riddled with islands and sea monsters, just north of a steaming, wide southern continent of steaming jungles. This will be a roleplay about island treasures behind various traps (I.E. Canon/Indiana Jones), pirate rivalries, ship battles, and dealing with local governments. Generally I am used to a Pirate x Non-Pirate character that is thrust into the position. I've always played the pirate, so I would like to switch it up this time and play the 'fish out of water' (pun intended). So if you're up for playing a pirate and kidnapping my character, then let's do it!

Inspirations: POTC, Conan, Golden Age of Piracy, Indiana Jones



Black Company RP: A grimdark military roleplay, where we're an army of average grunts amongst sorcerers, griffons, war elephants, and were-jaguars. We take cities, do our jobs no matter how dirty, and don't question orders. I'm not sure what role I would play, either Captain or a grunt. I'd love it if you would play Captain and I would play grunt, or if I did, you played a dark alchemist/deposed despot/sorcerer who is either their second or their paymaster.

Inspirations: The Black Company, Conan, Historical



Forgotten Realms RP: Adventure and Intrigue! The Silver Marches is preferred, but I'm cool with anywhere. I'm not picky with our characters, though let's not make anything crazy like the current editions. No minotaurs, or necromancers with an army of undead, or anything huge. Let's try to keep it semi-realistic and down to earth. Besides, why wouldn't you want to be the underdog?

Inspirations: What it says on the tin.



Bounty Hunter's Quarry: Could be sci fi or fantasy. One of us is a bounty hunter and their target is the other player, which sends them on a bunch of wacky adventures as they try to bring them in for the bounty and inevitably working together!

Inspirations: Star Wars, Conan, Cowboy Bebop, Warhammer Fantasy/40k



Witch Hunters: Sort of a cross between the Grimdark Fantasy RP, Urban Fantasy, and the Sci Fi Inquisitor ones. We're two Witch Hunters going after various demons, vampires, cultists, and simple men who would rather we stay away. Could be in Warhammer Fantasy or a custom universe.

Inspirations: Warhammer, Solomon Kane, various other titles.


Conan The Barbarian RP: I would love to do some Robert E. Howard Conan style Roleplaying! I would play Ulbrek the Cimmerian, but you can be whatever you'd like.

Inspirations: Hmmm


Less Developed Plots Ideas (That I'd still love to do):

Dungeons & Outcasts: We've broken out of an evil wizard's dungeon with a few like-minded (shady) individuals and make ourselves into a mercenary/bounty hunting/questing group that takes the worst jobs for nothing but money and our own self interest.

Thieves of a Feather: We're two theives going after the same magical item, either in a dungeon or in a heavily guarded keep. We bump into each other, and before we can see who steals it first, we need to escape with our lives.

Shadow of the Dark: We both play Dark Elves in an uneasy alliance trying to gain power and prestige in a Dark Elf city, entangled in this cutthroat world of intrigue and danger three miles below the surface. I might choose to be a surface dweller that was taken as a slave as well, depending.

Arabian Lights: I play a pit fighter under an Arabian city, having won the tournament. Jealously, some fighters ban together and throw my character off a cliff. He wakes up near a lamp and rubs it, summoning you as a genie (be as over the top as you want). One of two things happen. One, it plays straight like Aladdin. Or two, my character was once a slave, so he immediately frees you. You don't know where to go so you follow him, but he needs to keep your lamp safe because anyone else who rubs it can enslave you again for 3 wishes.

Intrigue: We're both lower nobility/courtiers/ministers who wish to take the throne. We could be rivals, allies, secret lovers, etc.

Princely War: I'm a prince, needing to hold the Kingdom together while my father is away at war. You're the vizier or prime minister, either helping me, vying for power, or perhaps both?

Knight Errant & Bard: Exactly what it says on the tin. One of us is a hero and the other is the intrigued bard that follows them everyone and gets into trouble.
I am pro Migi

Unironically yes
and not letting each other get murdered by said things. One of the two.


@DrRtron That's what I get for talking out of my ass after working long hours.

Ok, all we need is Lorcan then!
@POOHEAD189 hitting the gym:



I feel that way right now, at least.
@Fetzen Still need your Boon, bud.

@DrRtron Also I don't think you told me what your second Boon would be on discord.
<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>
I'll never choose wisely... bwahahahaha! Kidding, this seems to go with Migi's jam the best.

I added my inventory in. I also updated character opinions, and I added the new people in. I'm sorry for a few of those.

I'll now reread everyone's post and get to posting.


Going the long con, I like it.
Wait were we suppose to rol perception for something? I don’t recalled being asked to roll perception for anything.


Yep, I told everyone to before the last post to see if you noticed what was in the comet-like object and I noticed you didn't so I rolled for you. I figured you had just missed it so I let it slide.
Remember! Everyone needs to tell me what Boon they have chosen. Everyone needs to update character relationships, and everyone is now outside of the gates of Varone.

If any of you want, you can roll to see if you know anything about Varone.

For you new people, you have been traveling with the group for 2 days now, and you did not see what was in the ball of flame (though you did see the object itself). One last reminder, everyone who rolled below a 6 in perception did not see what was in there, so you like the newcomers will need to be told by your teammates what was within. Though of course someone can just say "they told you that night."

Cheers!
If I have time, then you have my interest.
