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'm going away for a few days for Christmas on the 23rd, and I'm not going to have internet access, or at least well enough to write a post, while I'm away. I don't think I'll have time to get one up before then either, so carry on without me and I'll catch up if need be when I return.
Yea Christmas is defiantly going to but a delay on this but hopefully it will be up by then. Also tell me when you do your mech RP would like to see it.
I'll make sure to let you know! Won't be for a good while, but when I do I'll put a notification your way.
Yea I saw yours but I think mine is different enough for it not to be a copy.
I've got some ideas for an RP in the works too, but it'll involve a lot of prep and background writing. Also, I'm going to be away over Christmas (most likely), so I don't want to put something up, and then have to twiddle my thumbs on replies for potentially 5 days before I can do any more.
Cool, those are the answers I had hoped for, haha. I'm definitely interested then. I'm a big fan of the idea of near future/modern day mecha, Patlabor and Full Metal Panic are two of my favourite mecha shows (albeit, with very different themes and styles), so this is definitely something that interests me in concept a lot too.
Richard followed the battle through the corridors of the dilapidated building, moving swiftly along with the other members of his team. As the call for suppressive fire came up, he switched back to his rifle, throwing suppressive fire onto the position with short, sharp bursts from the bullpup rifle through the windows of the buildings opposite, before Nikolaj's launcher turned the structure into more of a mess than it had been and the fire dropped off.
He moved on, a slight, dark smile on his face at the effective destruction they'd wrought. As the door came up, he chuckled at Nikolaj's suggestion of a polite knock. I like his sense of humour, the israeli thought with a grin, and nodded as he took his position on the opposite side of the door, again switching out for his handgun. The door blew inward, and the nine-bang rumbled its' thunder, and then he peeled around the door frame, pistol high in both hands. There were five hostiles, and he sectioned the room automatically as he'd been trained and drilled; one of the opposition was in Nikolaj's section, he left him in in capable hands, while his body worked on autopilot. The jericho kicked in his hands, twice for each target; one in the chest, one in the head. Reeling from the crashing concussions of nine flashbang explosions in a row, the hostiles barely stood a chance. Hands fumbled awkwardly on weapons, struggling to get protesting, battered and disoriented senses to align to fire at the uniformed invaders, but it was all too slow. The dark-haired IDF operator put his shots home with mechanical precision, grimacing as the hostiles went down one after the other. He kept the weapon tight in both hands, muzzle down as the rest of the team swept into the room. A few more shots, more movement as they spread out. His eyes fell on the cache a heartbeat after Nikolaj's and he nodded as the shout went out. He stepped back as Crowstep moved in, and performed his magic. As he waved the detector around, he felt a slight twinge of amusement; the action reminded him of the tricorder on the old star trek TV show. "Reading, Mister Spock?" he said with a hint of amusement, before the Canadian made his report. He listened in, though still alert to the situation as the CRBN expert mused over how to deal with it, before he saw a smile creep over his colleagues' face. He winced. Whatever was coming next, it was bound to be... 'exciting'.
I think I'm going to drop out of this too. I haven't made a post in a while, and now it's come time to make another one, I can't really summon any enthusiasm to write one. I'm not really feeling much of a connection with anything in the game right now, so I think it's probably best if I bow out and let the rest of you who are really enjoying it carry on without me.
