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.
I've been out all day acquiring goods and comestibles for the exchange of income, and being wind-blown by British winter weather. However, I should be able to work something up later this eve.
Mutton, you're welcome to join in - I'm not sure if we're expecting any more people to pop up now or not, so that's fine. I'll cap it after you and the other two or so folks I think I'm waiting on have posted characters though.
Yo, Ramzam - is this still an anthro-optional game? because if so, you should probably make a note of that somewhere in the OOC description, as it currently doesn't say it anywhere.
I'll get my character up after you answer, and I already have a walker in mind.
My friends and I have been watching/snarking over the original Gundam series lately, and the Macross theme reminds me of that show's opening - somewhat bizarre and extremely cheesy XD
Ah, poor old 0079 - It had a great story, and was literally a trend-setter as the first real robot anime. But the animation was done on the cheap, and a lot of it was farmed out, so it has some utterly awful moments in it, and the music and sound effects are cringe-worthy. The movie compilations are a bit better, but it hasn't stood the test of time very well, sadly. But at least it had a lot of sequels in the same universe that patched things up nicely.
hear ya; every OP nowadays has something like "...Fighting to protect the ones we love, with fistfuls of burning passion; blah, blah, blah, something about destiny; -insert bad English here-..."

Oh, I had better ask before I forget. Is it Selachi or Selachai? The hider says one thing, but it's spelled the latter way almost everywhere else and I just wanted to be surely sure.
I probably meant to spell it the latter way everywhere, but since I was rushing a bit when I did the hiders, I likely mis-spelt it. I'll edit it now, since I've got to add Minder's character to the list.
I always kind of felt that the ending of Macross Zero was result of sreally still likeof Kawamori writing himself into a corner. The message was kind of anti-war, so I guess a massive battle was a bit contradictory. And it also had to fit into the time line before the original Macross, so I suppose it would have to be a bit vague. Some of the events are explained a bit more in Macross Frontier. I do really like Zero though.
The Robotech one is a lot more orchestral and sweeping, and the Macross one is kind of cheesy... but I do love the Firebomber cover of the Macross theme and the visual editing in that anthology video. I'd have to say on the whole though, that Macross's music is better than Robotechs (vocal music I mean!) Though some of the stuff from the New Generation isn't too bad... Minmay's songs are pretty terrible though >.<;;
She's fine, gladly approved. I'll add Tashia to the list of confirmed characters shortly. That marks enough characters to start, so I'll start working out an opening scene to get us moving, and have something up tomorrow during the day. In the meantime - here's the original Macross Opening Theme redone with modern animation techniques, and a few extra scenes!
Hey, it wouldn't be one of my games if there wasn't an essay to read through :P and besides, you all said it was one of the things that made it worthwhile last time.
