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.

There you go, boss, here's my other character


She is accepted!

Accept aedaeenn in the RP too or RIOT.


no.
No new messages, so if there's no posts by anyone by this evening (UK time), I'll get a new IC post up, and also send off the mass PM to all the new players with some info on where you'll be to start off with.
mkay


Don't hold back with your enthusiasm, really.

Can't wait. :D


Glad to hear it, and sorry it's taken as long as it has >.>
So, things are a bit quiet currently - no idea where Machine has got to, so I'll PM him to find out what he's planning.
Other than that, if anyone else wants to get replies up to my last post then go ahead, and I'll make another IC to keep things moving at the end of the week (i.e. Friday) with the debrief, and our impending arrival to the base. I'll send out PM's to the new players at the same time.
New IC post is up for those of you currently in the game. It's not got a lot of stuff to react to, other than Silvers' conversation - although, I think we're due some character interaction moments, rather than action right now. Feel free to ask him anything, or to involve him in conversation as he's leaving the room. Irry is also there, and I'll reply as her if needed.

New players, and those with new characters - I'll involve you all in a mass PM once I have all the new characters submitted, so you can start in parallel to where we'll be, and our arrival.

Machine, I'm guessing you have an actual new character in mind? xD

Because in all seriousness, I'm definitely not approving the one you've posted ;P
Irry looked over to Silver as the others spoke up, and the fireteam also turned from whatever they were doing once the questions and comments started coming. The one-eyed vulpine looked over the group and tried to read their reactions. Mostly, their faces showed what he expected: sadness, fatigue both physical and emotional from the gruelling battle and the loss of more of their numbers and from the damage to the settlement itself, no doubt.
Aihara came to attention and offered himself up as the cause of Aidan's death, and the fox was taken aback for a moment. How could Kuraiko have been responsible? But he thought he understood: he felt some kind of connection to the event, felt some need to think that their friend would be there had things gone a different way.
Slowly shaking his head, the fox waved the black-furred GEAR pilot back to his seat.
"Stand down, Aihara," he said quietly, but firmly. "It wasn't your fault, or any of your fault. Aidan did what he felt he had to, and what he could. Just like he did on our other operations together, both in exercises and in the field." Slowly, he unfroze and moved over to a nearby chair, bidding the others to sit down as well, before he spoke up, words coming slowly; awkwardly, as he found them and his emotions began to untangle themselves.
"I've been crossing the wires in my head thinkin' about how I coulda done things different on the last op, or on this one, to change it so no-one got hurt, or so we didn't have to sit here again and try an' find out what went wrong, or what any of us coulda done different. And I don't know myself. Right now, I feel like y'all have the right to walk outta that door and make a formal note of no faith in me; two missions into our career, and we've got three KIA's and one WIA to our name, along with a whole mess of people reassigned from our startin' lineup. And that's not countin' the damage to our equipment."
He matched eyes with everyone in the room, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, more conversational and confessional than confrontational or formal. Somehow, it fit the moment, and what he was trying to say, trying to feel.
"Aidan was a good man. I liked him, a lot. Losing him feels like a stab in the gut, or like somethin's been cut outta me. We've only been a unit for a few weeks; maybe a month. And we've had so many come an' go in that time, that it's been hard fer us to form any bonds or find out how we gel together as a group. But he did what he had to, put himself out there as a medic an' as a damn fine soldier. I feel like I betrayed that by not havin' his ass in the fight-" he nodded to Kuraiko "-same as you, I bet, or any of us do. Hell, I can only imagine the hell y'all are feelin' right now," he added with a softer tone, nodding toward the fireteam. They'd been with him right at the end, in the same corridor.
"But the long an' short of it is," he continued, his tone firming slightly, and his eye falling to his own hands, stretching them both out before him, one black-and-white and artificial, the other black-furred and original. "We do a dangerous job. We put ourselves out there, in harms way where the bombs, bullets and whatever else are flyin', all aimin' ta kill us, or th' other guy. An' it seems right now, our little unit is right on the edge of somethin' messy, big, an' dangerous. An' that means folks are lookin' to throw their weight around, and we're gonna be havin' to push back. We got caught out twice; once by the Imps and it cost us two of our own that time. And this time the Southerners decided t' break their silence with violence, death an' destruction, and caught us out because of it.
"I won't blame any of y'all if you wanna be reassigned. I'll sign off on it, and I'll hand you a glowin' recommendation. You all deserve it for sure, after all we've been through. But me... I got doubts, an' plenty of 'em after what we've seen, an' what I went through before all of this too. Gotta say, feels like some of its' repeatin' on me. But, I can swear to you all, I don't wanna see any more of you laid out without throwin' myself right inta harms way with every furry fiber of my old ass to ensure that if death comes lookin' fer you, it's gonna have to fight through me first. And on top of that? I wanna find out what is so dear; what is so critical an' important to these two giant factions, that it was worth killin' our guys for, and layin' waste t' half of Martenstown".
He stood up again, pacing around the other a little as he spoke, more fire coming into his words.
"We been knocked down; hurt and left weakened by our losses. Especially losin' our people an' gettin' hurt. But we got somethin' back, we have intel from the Princess herself, an' whatever it is Kellia is onto as well. An' we have new orders too: We're headin' out first light to Antaria Flats. An' y'all know what's there; the hottest gear in the LDF and lots of it, an' all of the LDF's Special Operations units. Doesn't take me too much to draw some conclusions there. I reckon we're about to get pretty reinforced. We'll be there in a day an' a half. Time enough fer us to lick our wounds, search our souls, and firm ourselves up... or to make any other decisions y'all wanna make".
He gestured toward his open office door in the corner of the common area the individual bunk rooms all lead onto. "I'll be in there if y'all wanna speak to me about anythin'. As you were," he commented with a nod, and turned slowly on his heel, moving back into his room.
It was on the old RP guild i think... not sure if we can go back.


Alas yes, it was on the old guild, and has been lost to the whims of the internet, along with so much else on the old guild. I wish I had saved it so I could share the amazing weirdness of it with you all.
@Silverwind Blade Wasn't he the guy who had this sort of weapon that made a holographic, but physical net of whatever that would disrupt electronics or something?


Probably, sounds about right xD
I think that was the worst character we ever had submitted, but it was so bad it was funny, almost. Though, not to poke too much fun at anyone's attempt at doing things. I think mainly I still look back on it and find it something to laugh at though, due to the absolutely obvious lack of taking any of the background into account.

Lazer space wolf? Pity. I don't remember that...wish i could.


It was some guy - who I will give the benefit of the doubt of being young - who clearly hadn't read the background properly, as his character was 'from a different planet to Landren'. His GEAR also had energy weapons out the ass - which again, doesn't go with the background - and the ones he did have didn't even make sense; 'laser particles' being one of them.
I don't think he (I'm presuming he) was expecting the game to be quite as in-depth as it was, and quietly retreated from sight after I politely pointed out the problems with the sheet.

Once Shadowman has posted, I'll get another IC post up.
@Silverwind Blade I totally got that the first time, but looking at your comment from another perspective brought me to that :P


As long as my joke didn't miss the target, or get taken the wrong way xD

By the way, your new character is totally perfect, and absolutely the exemplar of what characters in this RP should be xD

(but, if you want to make a new one, that would be super)

It almost makes me wistful for the best-worst character app we had on the previous forum. I can't remember if Cart was with us at that point or not, but I know Incubus was. I'm sure he remembers laser-space-wolf as well as I do.

Thar! A post! I am not necessarily sure if I hit the dot, but let me know if I missed!


It was totally fine, thanks for getting that one up :)
