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.
Maybe we can work on something together via PM to build up some background to introduce your character with at a later point? That way, you'll feel more invested in her, and more connected to the setting.
(and Sylpheed can join in anyway. Since... I don't know. Magic from space and number reasons. Spycrab left. That's bringing it back up to the right numbers, right? right?!)
It's a shame you're thinking of quitting, as I really like roleplaying with you, and it's nice to have a game other than the Ace Combat one that we're both playing in. But if you want to drop out, then that's your decision, and Sylph is welcome to the position instead.
Well, either way - if you'd like to subscribe to the thread, you'll know if anyone else drops out, and you can jump in in their place, as I'm a bit stuffed for players.
The Cariburn doesn't have forward-swept wings though - it has a delta-wing. TBH, it doesn't matter what it is. It's not like we can capture it, or even if we'll know who it belongs to. If the mysterious 'they' are attacking us in the middle of an exercise, I imagine they're not boldly showing off their insignia and serial numbers. And if we do need to find out, we'll know at the appropriate time.

Oh... Ouch. Well. Again don't worry about it dude and thanks for saying. Two people gone in two days. :'(. Does anyone else want to drop now? I'm aware IC posting hasn't been flowing very fast as of late. No offence is taken if people don't want to continue.
Sorry man, but I really just can't my brain engaged with it right now, and I can't get motivated to post. I like the setting and it was fun helping you develop it and such, but I just can't get a post out for whatever reason. Hope it goes okay with everyone else onboard though.
I think I'm also going to drop out, I'm afraid. I can't think of anything to post, and I really can't get into my character. Aside from that, I kind of feel like I'm intruding on everyone else when I do post, since everyone else seems to have 'clicked'. So, I'm just going to drop out now rather than struggling to make a half-hearted effort.
Scott felt a moment of elation as the MiGs began to retreat, after the flight leaders' aircraft scored a pair more kills on the hostiles, further slashing their numbers. As soon as the remainder ran for the hills, the AWACS cut off transmission before giving them the rest of their orders. Frowning, Scott checked the radio, but could find no fault. The frequency wasn't warbling or hissing with static, so jamming didn't seem likely either. Tilting the Corsair into a turn, his peripheral vision caught a flicker of movement and craned his neck, before swearing loudly and jamming the nose of the jet into a steep diving wing-over. A sleek, dark fighter screamed through the air, hell-bent on interception with their aircraft. "What the hell is that?" he wondered out loud, barelling for the deck as his ears rang with the CO's orders: Survive until help arrives. "Romeo, Roger!" he replied in a terse, urgent voice as he rocked and rolled, throwing the A-7E through every evasive manoeuvre in his repertoire to try and keep the bandits off of his six, and keeping his head on a swivel trying to keep them spotted as he flew.

Might be a Falken, might not be. Haven't decided yet. Could be something completely different. Could even be a XR-45 Cariburn.
Well, if they were described as:
a dark, bizarre looking jet with forward swept wings and what looked similar to a glazed over cockpit
I'm. assuming 'glazed over' means that it's not see-through, similar to how an aircraft looks with a COFFIN system. It could be a number of things, especially from Ace Combat. Or it could be something else altogether, as our dear GM says - there's no reason he can't introduce new aircraft, after all. I'd be doing the same in his place to keep us all guessing, and to write my own story.
Just about to make a post - I'm going to assume that these aircraft aren't actually invisible, going by the last GM post, and it's just that they couldn't be easily seen. However, if they are supposed to have some kind of optical camouflage or something, then I'll edit my post as needed.
