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 see. Alright. Also, I derped, I meant wing and flight to be switched around.
Sorry if that was 'a lot of text', but I get really, REALLY pissed off when people ask me things that are already explained in the OOC or as part of the game background. It's there to be read, and if people are 'too lazy' to read it, or 'can't be bothered', then they can fuck right off out of my game, because I don't feel like I should bother wasting my time on them either and answering their stupid fucking questions. IT'S A TEXT BASED GAME, reading is a big part of it.
But hey, you said it's alright, so that's good ^_____^
I'll get a post up today, as I'm heading off for the weekend to meet up with a friend who's moving out of the UK. I should have 'net access since I'll be staying with my folks, but it'll only be from my tablet, so expect hilarious predictive text mistakes if I do post.
Not really sure what you mean by 'flair', but it doesn't seem lacking in any of the same firepower or other statistics the others have (other than the Virgo 3, which is a beast). If anything, I'd say the fact it transforms gives it more fancy gimmicks than the others, but I suppose it's down to personal opinion more than anything else. Also, it's grey, which does tend to make anything look less glamourous :P
I was deliberately not trying to take a 'starring' mobile suit or one that was particularly powerful as a starting one, which I thought was probably a reasonable idea.
Thanks for the catch on the coding, I do that sometimes by accident. Not really sure what else to post regarding leaving the ship, or bringing Stella or not - OOC I know that you've mentioned she's being used as a weapon, but IC Rowan has no knowledge of her circumstances, so no reason to bust her out or attempt any kind of rescue. Have to see how she responds to what he's said in conversation.
Also, is my suit going to be actually horrendously outclassed, or will it be fine? I was under the impression that the MP Zeta was a pretty fair suit, since they're still using them by the time of Gundam Unicorn, which is ten-ish years after Zeta Gundam in the timeline, and they make a fair accounting of themselves. Alternate universe suits, I have no idea how it would fare against them, as they come with their own rules.
Rowan was surprised by how flighty the girl seemed. Evidently she was afraid - maybe of him. After all, he was an outsider here, and he had just followed her down a corridor. But brushing the thought aside he hesitated as he searched for the right words, before launching into conversation. "I'm not from here too. This ship, or even I think, this um, universe. These people... do you know anything about them, or their intentions?" He looked away, back down the corridor, with a frown. "Angelo, and that Victor guy... they don't seem like... good people, I guess. And from what I've picked up and learned, some of them might even be former enemies. Or allied with them, at least..." he trailed off as she explained her own situation, holding his hands up in apology. "I'm sorry - I'm probably not helping with any anxiety you're feeling. I just wanted to get an idea of how someone else was finding it being here. I'm sorry if you're not feeling well. If I can help, let me know - I didn't mean to bother you". He dipped his head in a slight bow and stepped back, intending to head on toward the hangar and ready his mobile suit.
Got a post up, not a great one, but should do in chasing up Stella to lead into getting off of the ship and to the rest of youz guiz. Also good news for me today, got a job I interviewed for, woop woop.
Rowan wasn't entirely sure why Angelo kept referring to him as a 'junker', but he was sure it wasn't a compliment of any kind. Of course, scorn dripped off of the haughty man's every remark. His assumptions about the Zeta Plus were interesting as well. Rowan was somewhat worried - after all, if mobile suits and pilots from many different universes had ended up here, then there was every chance his machine would be outclassed, but - to quote the dandy man - 'even' his Zeta should be able to match some of them. After all, it was no slouch in speed or in firepower, and it's transformation abilities gave it a lot of versatility. Either way, right now he was less concerned with fighting and winning, or with his suits' performance, than he was with making a break for it and getting out of here. Angelo dismissed him after a few more words, and Rowan took the opportunity - gladly - to leave, silently slipping out and following Stella. The young woman had remained silent and mostly expressionless during the meeting, and that had thrown some doubt as to his theory about relying on her or her motivations and loyalties being in alignment with his own. All the same, he wouldn't know until he tried to ask, and given he'd exchanged less than two words with her so far, he had to try and find out. If she did tell anyone then well, he was due to launch on patrol, so there wouldn't be much of a chance for the word to get out.
Resigning himself to the idea, he followed her in the direction of the medical bay, catching up with her a short way down the corridor. "Excuse me, Stella," he said quietly and with a slight smile. "I was wondering if you had a moment - I need to discuss something with you. About these people, and this ship.."
That Victor sure is a charming guy. Looking forward to using my 'obsolete' mobile suit to dish out a bit of humility... I'll get a post up tomorrow morning to keep it going.
