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.
Hey everyone, I'm back from my weekend RPing with my friends. I had a lot of fun, and so did they, playing through my adventure. One of my players even made a heroic sacrifice, which went down really well. The downsides are that I'm amazingly tired and I seem to have come down with some kind of crappy cold-like virus that has made my throat feel like it's been sand-papered.
Regarding RP more related to our game: -Blackwolf, your character is fine, but I'll ask that you change the goggles you've listed and pictured to actual NVG's, as I have a personal annoyance with Night-Vision devices in movies being shown as, essentially, swimming or dust-goggles that allow you to magically see in the dark xP This game isn't set into the future or with tech so advanced that NVG's would've shrunk that much, so you're still relying on goggles like the modern-day ones. Make that edit, and he's good to go.
-GrowingDark, Carson is fine too. Good to have a machine-gunner in the group, that will likely come in handy. Interesting that we've got two mercs already. I was expecting more people to go for playing actual militaries, or even para-military (like CIA or equivalents, or even SWAT). I'll add Carson to the OP shortly.
-Kyelin, Cindy is fine. Good idea playing the medic, and also taking the Carl Gustav - again, it might be useful. I'll add her to the OP too.
I'll mark the OP as closed to new applications, as we've got a good few people here already and I think it's a good size. Rultaos, go ahead and post up your character whenever you can, and we'll start after you've got them up. I'm going to be doing a training course most days this week, unless I get any news about work (I'm currently living the life of the unemployed), so it might take a little while for me to post the IC, but there's no massive rush.
Hey, everyone. I'm back from my RP weekend. As no one has posted to move things on, I won't make another post right away, but I will let you know that I'm here and ready to move things on as soon as a few more posts come up.
In other news, while my weekend was brilliant and the adventure I ran for my group went down really well, I appear to have caught some kind of horrible illness that mainly involves me feeling like ass, and like my throat has been sandpapered >.<
Rafale, I noticed an error in your sheet for Kwan around the dates - it's got him listed as being in the Foreign Legion until 2008, and a Mercenary from 2003. I think you need to make an edit there, unless he was doing a lot of moonlighting.
TheFake, Kyle is approved. Kilo6, I'll approve Alika, but expect to have problems keeping your drone running in the field due to lack of parts. Blackwolf, I like how Damian is shaping up - just finish his gear and consider him approved.
I'll add all of them to the OP.
FYI, I'm going to be away until Sunday from this afternoon, so no replies from me for a little while!
Yeah, and I wanted to include everything that Bryan might conceivably be using as a modern warfighter as well. Plus it's all things that might actually come in handy. I'm sure Kwan's probably got some other stuff like holsters, and some kind of LBV to carry his mags and whatnot in, but it's not really necessary to list that stuff, as I can assume it to a certain degree anyway - I just wanted to put my stuff down.
