The desire to join an RP instead of run one, but the lack of anything being advertised or open that fits my interests

Why are people posting 1x1 'looking for' threads in the main section, when there's a whole section for 1x1 RP's?

It'd be nice to be able to *play* an RP I'm interested in for once, rather than having to *run* one all the time. Of course, doesn't help that I'm picky about what I enjoy.

Hmmmmm... PM inviting me to an RP on Discord by a user who just joined the site and has no posts? Doesn't sound iffy at all, no sir.

Bio
I've been roleplaying in one form or another since the late '90's. I've played as many tabletop games as I have online ones, and the quality of both has varied wildly. I have an active imagination, and I love immersive, descriptive roleplaying. My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists. I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom. Or *shudder* school RPs...
I have a lot of fandoms; Transformers, Macross, MLP: FiM, Fallout, Battletech, Ace Combat, and others to varying degrees. But I don't often join fandom RPs because the ones I'm into don't come up, or I am very picky about my RPs and their plots and feel.
I don't play in free, as I find the short posts and bad spelling and grammar infuriating. I like a lot of depth, story, setting and character to my RPs, so am usually found in Casual and sometimes Advanced. Though, usually running my own RPs.
I'm 43 years old, and live in the UK, so I may not be on all the time. I also like playing non-human characters, especially anthro ones, robots or synthetics, or some hybrid of both.
Outside of my RP tastes and hobby; I read a lot of books, play wargames and TTRPGs, make model aircraft and vehicles, and am also a brony and furry. I have been running a large local furmeet group for the last 10 years and have been involved in running a very successful UK MLP convention.
I edited my post so Treadbolt says the same thing as 'Scream. I think it's a nice kind or mirroring if the first two two recover both ask the same question.
I'm sure I can manage that - I'll have to link you to the previous years' galleries as well. I know I've got pictures of Gripens at other times, amongst other things.
I'll be sure to take as many as I can. My GF will have her camera too, so between us we'll take plenty. Though, it's nigh-impossible to take decent pics of anything flying without a special rig. We'll get lots of static photos though!
The approach to the planet, with it's richly organically alive blue-white surface wrapped in filmy clouds of vapour had been chaotic. There had barely been time since the emergence from transwarp to admire the planet or make sense of the myriad of primitive electromagnetic signals and radiation pouring off of the planet before the Decepticons had been at them, hammering them with all manner of weapons fire. The pilot of the Autobot vessel had done their level best, keeping the battle a moving affair. Weaving through and around the astronomical features of the system, and pulling out every well-learned and well-remembered trick in the book. They'd got some knocks in on the Decepticon ship to be sure, but in the end the hostile vessel had them outgunned and outweighed. Nonetheless, both ships had been heavily damaged as they'd arrived in orbit, and lacking in suitable control and timing, had been forced to make a barely controlled landing, heading for the area least built-up and with the most open space in the continental landmass below. Screaming through the planets' dense atmosphere, buffeted and thrown around like pebbles in a tin can along with the ship disintegrating and falling apart around them, many of the Autobots had been thrown off-line temporarily, or massively disoriented - and then the ship had hit the ground, travelling at many hundreds of miles an hour, the impact enough to do more damage.
Treadbolt had been luckier than some - in the upper decks of the ship, he'd only been merely smashed around at uncomfortable velocity, enough to leave his sensors whirling and trying to make sense of which way was up, before he detached himself from the rooms' fittings and regained his balance. The ship was eerily silent, but for the clicking and groaning of settling, cooling metal and the rattle of broken and smashed systems trying to return to some form of operation. Grimacing, the heavy soldier made his way to the door, half twisted out of its' frame by the warping of the ships' hull from the impact. Trying his internal comms - and relived to find them working - he sent out a message to his fellow Autobots. It was a simple enough one: "Is anyone still alive?"
Got mine up, thought it was pretty exciting and dramatic. As an aside, I'll be away for a couple of days from Friday, so I won't be able to get much up in the way of posts, in case I'm badly needed or anything.
Having wove and dodged through the traffic at speeds and maneuvers that'd get him arrested anywhere else, Scott ramped the Hummer onto the pavement, shouting apologies, threats and urges to get away while hammering the horn. The hummvee took out more than one item of street furniture, and crashed through a few piles of street debris and rubbish left by the side of the road, before he thumped them back onto the road surface. The heavy .50 hammered over his head, and the SAS Trooper grimaced at the sound, leaning over the wheel as he jockeyed the accelerator and brake to match speed with the Merc as Jan opened fire. He gently guided the wheel, avoiding the debris flying off the back of the car, before Jan's words snapped into his consciousness
"Scott, fucking hit them! Eyes in the passenger footwell, they're going for it!"
"Hang on to something!" He yelled, and slammed his foot to the floor, the Hummvee's big engine snarling as it leapt forward. He aimed the ram bars directly at the broadside of the passenger compartment and braced for the inevitable jarring impact with the sedan. The next thing he knew, the world became a cacophony of screaming metal, snarling engines and shattering glass, and he was slammed forward in the seatbelt, arms in front of his face.
FYI ladies and mentlegen, I will be away from Friday for a couple of days to go to RIAT, a big military airshow over here in the UK. I'll be able to access the site - albeit a bit reduced - some of the time while I'm away, but no big posts. I'll post a link to my photos when I get back too!
