Good news! I got the one note document working. I think it was something to do with my proxy.
Excellent! Glad to hear that you've managed to access it okay now. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer for you.

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 Bladeah well that’s an upside I guess. I’ll look into the problem when I get home. Hard to participate when I can’t even read the setting notes!
Also, out of curiosity, is that an MLP icon?
Haha, hope you can sort it out, if not, we'll find a way.
And yes; It's a head shot of my OC I cropped out of a picture I drew for a friend of both our pony OC's as a Christmas present a couple of years ago. I can link the full one if you want to see it.
Here we go! I'll have to see about drawing her at some point.
<snip>
Yay, Ibex, and yay, hooves! I liked hoofed anthros.
She is very much approved, feel free to add her into the characters tab, and I'll edit the OP to include her deets ^^
Hey, guys, I think I might have to sit this one out. I’m a little busier than I anticipated. Sorry if I got anyone’s hopes up. Good luck, ya’ll, and have fun!
Aw, that's a shame, but I understand! Hope you manage to deal with your busy time okay, and thanks for showing the interest in the first place too.
On the upside, @redbaron1234 this means there's a spot for you if you want it?
Not sure what the issues with One Note are for you - I don't have it installed, I just access it through a browser. You may need to have a Microsoft online sign in or something, but I'm not sure.
Updated the Known World, lore will be updated through the week. Keep a eye out rpers :)
Have to say, I'm really impressed with the maps and the flags - thanks for all the hard work, I'm really looking forward to being a part of this.

Sounds cool anthro throw me off but hey I'm just saying a bunch would probably be interested
The OOC is up if you're interested in taking a look at what it has to offer.
Hey I'm afraid that the One Note link to the lore document is broken. You might want to fix that soon, Id love to learn more about this, if you are still accepting
Sorry, somehow I missed this message.
I can't confirm if it's broken for anyone else, as it seems to be working for me - but then, I'd expect it to be since I created it?
Can anyone else confirm if the link to One Note is still working?
At the moment, we have a full roster, but if anyone drops out, I'll be happy to put you in, and if you're really interested, I might be able to add an extra place - though, it might be a stretch and I don't want the group to get too large.
I know that I said I'd post my CS last night, but I had an RP reply I needed to finish as I'd been dragging my feet on it, and then the sleepies came for me in the night lmao.
It's about 3 quarters finsished though. I can round out the history when I get home tonight. Sorry for the delay and hope you guys like Mountain Goats.
Moutain Goats are awesome, and I'm totally laid back, so no rush. Not qute ready to start yet, and I'm not going to be worrying about chivvying people along to finish their CS just yet :)
<snipped character>
@Silverwind Blade Well, it only took me getting sidetracked 3 times on this character, better than my usual 5 or 6. I also thought of another question, would modules on the GEAR be easily changed on the battlefield or is it a complicated process that needs a maintenance bay or something? such as in a potential instance where someone would salvage a perfectly working *whatever* from a fallen GEAR, would they be able to attach it then and there?
Totally happy with Fionn, he sounds great, and I can see he and Sean getting along pretty well too. Feel free to post him in the characters tab ^^
Good question on the GEAR issue too! Not something I'd considered, but a good thing to bring up.
I mean, as far as hand-held weapons go, absolutely. It's like picking up someone elses' rifle. Regarding other equipment or weapons, I could imagine it would be possible, but would be less pick-it-up-off-you-go, and more the kind of thing you can do once the battle is done with two GEARs, one to mount it on and one to hold it in place and some simple tools and a few OS options. Hope that answers the question, and seems reasonable!
@Silverwind Blade Okay, sweet~ Could I tech it up later on, perhaps? I kinda had an image of something a little like Raiden’s high-frequency blade.
Potentially, none of the melee weapons in the setting at GEAR or person scale feature anything like that as yet, but who knows what you might end up encountering as the story progresses
Name: Silverwind Blade
Age: 48
Species: Silver Fox
Appearance:
Left eye missing and covered by black leather patch; right eye red-brown. Scar across bridge of muzzle. Left ear nicked and torn. Heavy scarring across left side of body, with several smaller scars in other places. Left arm replaced by highly functional prosthetic arm comprised of black-and-white bioplastic.
Silver-grey, fairly thick and somewhat shaggy/grizzled fur with off-white on chest, throat and lower muzzle. Longer 'ruff' of fur around throat/neck. Black markings on muzzle, black ears. Darker grey lower right arm and lower legs, black tail tip. Thick, unruly neck-length brown hair with prominent grey peppered through, especially around temples.
Fighting fit, and relatively well-muscled (more of a runner/swimmer build than a body-builder), though age is starting to catch up with him and soften the edges of his trim lines.
Personality:
Positive Personality Traits: Compassionate, Loyal, Selfless, Protective, Warm
Negative Personality Traits: Reckless, Cocky, Easily Provoked, Too Trusting, Bitter
Likes: Whiskey, Classic Rock music, Reading books (mostly sci-fi and military thrillers), Hiking, Climbing.
Dislikes: Large Crowds, Cheap (and weak) beer, Large Cities, Having to prove or justify himself, Bureaucracy.
Silverwind has had an eventful life, but despite this he maintains a somewhat laid-back and calm personality. He has an amicable nature, and is friendly to most people unless given reason otherwise. He is especially loyal to those who act as friends to him and support him, and one another. He has no time for those who are bullies, and pick on those who cannot defend themselves, or who have worked hard to get what they have. Arrogance, greed, and callousness do not impress him, and he will be cold and distant to such people, or even outright refuse to be civil with them, or mocking them openly for their negative traits and flaws. He will relish opportunities to take down such petty and selfish opponents, and will feel no remorse for their loss. Equally should anyone turn on him, he will have no mercy, sympathy or compassion for them, and will be especially cold to them.
He is open to making friends, but past events have left him with a high level of anxiety and doubt over making new friends and letting them get too close. This rings even more true for any romance or thought of love.
He trusts very few people in the military, beyond a handful due to his past experiences, though he remains loyal to the Princess and the Solernian Royal Family.
History:
Silver was born in a small settlement in the interior of Solernia. He lived a fairly carefree and simple childhood, and enjoyed outdoor past-times, and getting into mischief. He had a few good friends, and a stable home life.
Unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, he joined the RSDF after seeing a parade and display of GEARs on a trip to the capital, and becoming infatuated with the machines.
He was successful in training, though struggled with authority at many turns, as well as getting into a fight with another cadet of a higher 'social status' than him that looked down on him for his 'lesser' position and lack of knowledge and understanding.
Despite this setback, he carved out a notable career, rising to command a GEAR unit known as the Roughriders, and gaining a reputation for many successful operations, won by guts, daring, the skin of his teeth and bravery. He bent orders and regulations to do what he saw as the 'right' thing, often earning him ire from his superiors, though a grudging respect. He also gained a reputation for never leaving his men behind, and always being on their side.
His career was so successful that his sister, Juliana, followed in his footsteps and enlisted, becoming an aerospace pilot.
Eventually assigned to Special Operations command, he was put in command of the Roughriders, a special forces unit. The Roughriders became his second family, especially after his parents died in a tragic accident. He and Juliana came together to mourn, and after his return to service he found himself becoming romantically entangled with Iriana, a member of his unit.
The unit became especially successful and received many commendations for their service, and eventually this came to be a problem - special forces units that are too well-known about have trouble remaining undetected and stealthy.
While Silverwind was never boastful, he was proud of all his unit had achieved, and knew that by working together his unit could achieve amazing things.
Nonetheless, his unit was destroyed on a classified operation, with only he and his third-in-command, Meyer, surviving. Both of them were heavily injured. Silverwind retired from service at the time, while Meyer went on to service in an advisroy training role. He lived in quiet isolation and peace in the countryside, keeping in contact with his sister, a handful of other relatives, and a few people he met locally.
Upon the formation of the 33rd and it's mission, Silverwind was invited to command the unit by an old friend, General Versco who was still part of the RSDF and was involved in his surviving the mission that obliterated his unit, and caused the mass of injuries he suffered that lead to his early retirement from active service five years prior. Full details of this mission remained classified by Royal Decree.
After much coaxing and discussion, he eventually agreed.
Hobbies & Interests:
Silverwind is a man of few and simple pleasures; he enjoys whiskey, good food, the outdoors and the company of good people... especially women. He also enjoys classic rock music and reading books.
