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.
@Silverwind Blade The picture of your character in the characters tab is missing/not working.
That's weird, because I can see it fine on my laptop o.O
FurAffinity is weird about image links, it might be because of logins, etc. I've changed the image source to flickr instead. Hopefully that will resolve it. If not, I'll use an alternate picture and change her description a bit.
EDIT: Also, Thomas looks fine to me, no problems with him so far at all. I like the Pink Floyd references a lot, I'm a fan of their music
Also, looks like we are gonna have two characters in this RP of the same species. Unless @Silverwind Blade would rather to not have that happen. If so, I can easily change to making a character of a different species.
There's more than two white, black, asian, etc people in the real world, and it'd be the same kind of deal with different species on Arvara. I don't see it as a problem.
Given some recent developments (good developments) the chance of hitting that window might have been destroyed.
That's okay, I don't think I'll get the post up by the end of the week either. I'll try and do it over the weekend though. I'm going on holiday, but to somewhere with wi-fi, and I've (blissfully, joyously, wonderfully) got the week off work next week too.
Yeah, I did want to try and keep the squad small to begin with. Even with that written in, I was expecting a bit more interest. Still; we've got the minimum number to begin. I was hoping to hear from @VyperPunk to finish off her character, but she seems to have disappeared. @Caliban22 needs to move his character into the characters tab, but is fine to go, as are you.
I'll probably try and get a post up to get us at least off to a start mid-week sometime. I'm still mulling over exactly how to start us off exactly, but it should be fine. I imagine more people may come in once we start going too - it wouldn't be the first time.
I'd love for you to join in, the more people the better at this point, as there hasn't been as much interest as I would have hoped. And I'm not exactly planning on it being speedposting: the revenge or anything. I prefer things be casual and laid-back myself, as I have other hobbies and work to look after too. Regarding your character; it's up to you, of course. I've gone for a new character myself, as I preferred to play someone different - no reason why you can't use Vanessa again though :)
As the F-2 closed up into formation, Scott waggled his wings in greeting and acknowledgement. He trimmed the A-10's course slightly settling into a close formation with the new arrival. "Roger that," he replied at her question. "Those folks down there are well overdue for our help; best get there quick as we can. We oughta split up; what say you handle the air targets and I harass the ground-pounders? Keep 'em off my back and I'll make sure you don't take any hits from below". Corona's voice chimed in, the AWAC controllers' voice calm and reserved as ever. "Good job linking up. I'm designating you as Storm Flight; Heartbreak, You're Storm 1, Ericsson, Storm 2. Stay on course to hit the target area; I'm reading three enemy fast-movers, and two heavies in the air; radar's having problems picking out ground targets, but what I could get on the radio from friendlies indicates three units of infantry supported by medium walkers. Ground forces will mark their positions with IR strobes". "Roger that," he answered, his voice becoming more clipped and terse. "Ericcsson, let's go; I'll back you up as much as I can on the air targets, but I'll concentrate on the ground threat. Break and engage!"
The snow flurries had grown to a steady snowfall, dropping visibility. Scott switched his targeting systems, the SNIPER targeting pod under the A-10's wing coming to life. The FLIR sensor built into the pod lit the view up into shades of thermal grey; almost immediately he saw the blinking flashes of the allied forces' strobes, and the thermal spots of the enemies' engines, weapons, and exhausts. Streaming flashes crossed the area as fire was exchanged, and flitting traces ghosted through the air as the hostile aircraft cris-crossed the area; even as he watched, they reformed and began diving toward he and Ericcsson's incoming jets. "Moving in to engage," Scott announced over the radio, adjusting the A-10's throttle and dropping altitude. He nudged the stick and rudders, the ungainly A-10 moving swiftly onto course at its' preferred low altitude. He thumbed the controller for the SNIPER-XR pod, and bracketed up the nearest spider-like walker that was sending streams of firepower toward the nearby cluster of friendly blinking lights. He jinked and waved the A-10 as it dropped lower, engine howling in the thick air and rearing the jet into a high, banking turn. At its' apex, he thumbed the weapon release, and two Paveways dropped from the wings of the A-10, fins springing open as they glided toward the target. A bank in the opposite direction threw off any anti-aircraft fire, and a spread of chaff and flares dissuaded the insistent blare of the radar warning receiver. "Bombs away," Scott growled over the radio, circling at low altitude. "How's it going up there?"
