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.

Back from teh dad's house! Will be posting soon.UPDATEDAlright, I posted. Following the plan previously discussed, my character will interact with Bryan before Rafale's character shows up. Allowing Silver to both respond to my character and the arrival of Rafale's character to keep things from getting confusing chronologically.
I'll reply this evening, as I'm shortly heading out to work. Thanks for the post though, and I'll make sure my reply covers everything and gets us moving again.

Completely different subject, a very late one to be discussing (by one day), but I finally read over your post in detail, Blackwolf, and it bothered me how you set up Aoi to immediately be a novice and a bad shot, going so far as stating;Normally, decisions about the character's skills and what he is doing should fall into the writer of the character's hands, not another player. I didn't say in any of my former post that he was a bad shooter, in fact, I made him state the opposite. Thus, this would fall into the category of being a strain of power-playing, which is usually frowned upon.I'm not trying to be a jerk, just stating my own opinion and preferences and if you could do something about this, I would be extremely appreciative of it.
Rafale is completely right - I have mentioned this in the rules to the game in the first post. If it's your characters opinion that someone looks like they don't know what they're doing, then that's fine. But if the player has stated in their post that they do know what they're doing and are in fact good at their job/task/whatever, then that's kind of putting words into their mouths - metaphorically speaking - or taking control to some degree of someone elses' character, and that's something that's not really okay.

My lack of creativity is killing me, and a mix of writers block...Edit: Anyone know how to help with writers block or is this just something to wait out?
Music is definitely always a good idea. I also find that watching movies, reading books, or playing games that are related to the subject (i.e. aerial combat and Ace Combat) inspire me, as that's where the interest came from in the first place.
Scott's character sheet has been edited, following a discussion with Rafale. He's got a bit of a different background, and is a fair bit older now too.
Yeah, that sounds like it would be the best way for things to flow, and the most straightforward as well. I figured as the time went, Bryan woke up and had a short conversation with your character, and then Rafales' character turned up and we both react to his arrival

Actually, it Kelsea. I've had, like, four deathbunnies and I must've blanked out on that change. Whoops.
Well, that in mind I've edited my post to say the right thing too. Also, I think because I've played Ace Combat 5 recently, Adrian now has the voice of Grimm from Ace Combat 5 o.0
