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.

Ryan was pleased that his new squadron had some relevant questions, and were keen to speak up, for the most part.
He nodded at each question as it came and then answered, after giving a grin and a thumbs-up to Yuri's energetic introduction. "At ease, and thank you for the introduction Captain. Take a seat, and let's answer these questions".
"Callsigns for the mission are as follows; our squadron will be Ranger 1-5, AWACS will be Cavalier, ground team are Rogue and CSAR will be Wizard. Home base is Dungeon Master... looks like someone in the planning department has been playing D&D," he added with a tight smirk and a shake of his head. He looked up as a more female voice sounded, zeroing it in to the pair of female USAF pilots he'd clocked when walking in. Both of them were attentive... mostly... and weren't anything more unusual in their behaviour than any other chair force pilots he'd flown with before. They both sure lived up to the reputation that the air force got the best ladies, though.
His mouth quirked slightly at a familiar accent before he replied. "ROE is that we're to engage at will if any hostile forces are encountered. Ground forces are on location to secure the survey team for extraction. CSAR are on standby if any of us go down, and there'll be additional forces on ready alert if anything else goes down, to give us support and to cover the extraction of the survey unit if need be.". He nodded to underline his point, and then looked around, nodding to the late arrival of another female pilot and raising an eyebrow slighly and giving a slight smile; he couldn't exactly condemn her, having been late himself.
Nothing else was forthcoming, so he leaned back up from the lectern, coming around from behind it and leaning on one side.
"If there's nothin' else, then yer all dismissed. See you on the flight line in 90 minutes. Life support shop should have your gear ready. We're wheels-up at 0730. Good to meet you all, folks. You can ping me over the base comms if you need anything, or grab me right now. Race you to the flight line; dismissed".
He waved them off and out of the door, nodding as they headed off, while grabbing his tablet and heading for the door himself. He was eager to get into his gear and fly, what with there being a mission. He dallied a little, small-talking with Diane in case any of them needed anything else, before he headed to the ready room. He grabbed some snacks and drinks before he headed to the locker room to stash his gear and pull on his G-Suit. There was, as always, more paperwork to fill out, and between himself and Diane, they spent a good 45 minutes out of the 90 filing paperwork for the mission and the squadron, before heading to the locker room.
As usual, it took a long while to pull on his G-suit and survival vest after getting them from the survival shop. He signed out his sidearm and survival gear, and his helmet and then headed for the flightline.
The morning sun had started to warm the sky over Avalon, and heat haze danced off of the tarmac, lending a ghostly air to the base. Transports lumbered into the air and vehicles chugged back and forth. A flight of fighters thundered into the air as the pair of Naval aviators reached the steed. The A-6F gleamed in the early morning light, red warning flags flicking in the lackluster breeze as the pair began their walkaround of the aircraft.

Xi’s hand went up at the call for questions, “Callsigns for the mission?”
"Callsigns for the mission are as follows; our squadron will be Ranger 1-5, AWACS will be Cavalier, ground team are Rogue and CSAR will be Wizard.

They both sure lived up to the reputation that the air force got the best ladies, though.
"What's the ROE, sir? We gonna be out there on our own or will we get backup?" She asked in a thick Midwestern accent which annunciated and drew out the vowels in words.
His mouth quirked slightly at a familiar accent before he replied. "ROE is that we're to engage at will if any hostile forces are encountered. Ground forces are on location to secure the survey team for extraction.

Sorry for the delay in replying, time has got away from me this week - I'll get a reply up tomorrow.
Apologies everyone for hte delay in posting. Time got away from me this week in staggering amounts, and I have not had a chance to make a post.

*can feel the pressure to post Cecilia arriving late*
:P
Well, it would work out nicely since everyone else has posted so far too xD
A meta-reference! :o

Silverwind grinned as Vince explained about the forest and the blue-maned pegasus shrugged. "Well, I do tend to end up with trouble finding me. I must be a magnet for it. Luckily though, I can handle myself okay-" he mimed punching the air with a couple of jabs from his forelegs "-and I also tend to be pretty good at running away," he added with a wink and a nervous chuckle.
His grin only spread wider as the green pegasus asked about tagging along. His wings flicked open as he laughed and nodded. "Of course you can - I could see you were waiting to ask!" he added with another laugh, before patting his new friend on the shoulder. "Let's finish our breakfast, and then get ready. You might want to take a few things if we're going to be doing some exploring," he patted his saddlebags for emphasis. "I always have a little kit with me, just in case".
He gave an eager smile, before returning to his meal, eating and drinking hungrily to finish, the spirit of adventure and excitement now in him.

@Pilatus
Did I see a Mighty Boosh reference in your post?
If so, well done sir.

“Sometimes from a shoe… with Bailey’s.”
If so, well done sir.
Hmm...
IC started two days ago, no other posts yet.
Interesting to say the least. I've grown so used to seeing like 5 posts minimum by the end of day one.
Yes, I was kind of expecting someone to have made a post by now.
@Iatos
Silverwind winced and rubbed the back of his head with one hoof as the green pegasus mentioned his 'appearance' in EQD.
"Yeahhhh," he said with a chuckle. "Probably not the claim to fame I'd choose, but one I got all the same," he said with a grin. "But it's nice to meet you, Vince," he said as he listened to him explain Ponyville and describe his time here, nodding enthusiastically. His grin turned more sly as he heard his new companion mention Rainbow Dash and his thoughts about the mare, and he chuckled softly and gave an agreeable nod. "She's definitely impressive" he replied. "I've seen her a few times around and about, and she's certainly a lovely mare. Really skillful too. I heard she made it into the Wonderbolts reserves."
As Vince commented on Silver's upcoming trip to the Everfree, he followed his look toward the forest, just visible in the near horizon and nodded firmly, but with a shift of expression.
"There's no doubt it's a dangerous place," he replied after a moment, shifting from side to side. "But that's why I - and the cartography corps - have to map it out; finding safe passages through for ponies and other creatures is good, and so is being aware of where the dangerous creatures or terrain are, as much as we can be. I'm sure it won't be too bad - I'll be flying overhead mostly, and following routes on an older map to update them".
He looked back toward Vince, and he gestured around at hte town. "So, Vince, what do you do around Ponyville? You seem to know about the town and the forest quite well. Though, you say you've never had a reason to go there so far".

Glad it's moving forward, I'll move over Lonnie's profile and get a post up.
Great, no rush though!
I suspect Ryan ran into Mako in the intro-post.
-So that probably went well... @Massasauga
That or Icicle.
It could well be! I did just intend it to be some rando, but if someone wants to pick up on it then that's fine too.
