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 can't really make a post until someone talks to me in character at the moment, so I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs.
It's not a problem for me. I'm just getting a post up myself and trying to make a post to somehow pull through the attack...!
I'll look forward to it! And I'm sure I'll have a good time :)
I'll be away from this evening until Sunday evening (UK time, obvz), roleplaying with my tabletop group. See you then, don't destroy the world.
"Shit," muttered Blade under his breath as Myrina's report came in. Tanks, even with manually-guided weapons were bad news. Even their heavy machine-guns would make a mess of a GEAR, not to mention the cannon they carried. And getting through their armour would be tough.
Fortunately, they had Ken around, and Blade dropped his las-des onto the lead tank, punching the target through the the chopper pilot as a priority.
"Hit the tanks, Ken," he said quietly and urgently. "Priority target. Everyone else in my team - pincer the armour. Kradis: Once Ken's made his run, follow it up with bombardment on the next target. I'll keep the designator on, and slide to the next target. I'll keep the bombardment rolling with mortar fire as we close range. Aim for tracks and sensors; and for their MG's. Mobility kill them and then try to close in to close range and pick 'em off. I'll hit from the rear with my ATGMs. Move quickly, hit hard".
The brief was concise and clipped, betraying the urgency of the situation, and the Harlock left rooster-tails of dust in its' wake as it shot off, leaning hard into its' zig-zagging course, sticking to rock walls and foliage for cover, as the tanks' turrets swung close. A round exploded close by the GEAR, and the damage readout illuminated red on the machines' left side. A drop in hydraulic pressure and muscle-fiber conductivity simulated damage, and a burst of simulated - and paint- machine-gun fire grazed the GEAR, knocking out a number of surface sensors and minor equipment - a broken searchlight, speaker and equipment hooks were nothing to be concerned about. Armour breaches, though, might be another matter.
Either way, the laser-designator was still on target, and he'd closed range well. The mortar coughed out the last of its' AP rounds, dropping them squarely on top of the rear-most tank, the laser switching immediately to the one on the far-right of the V-Shaped formation, keeping it highlighted for Kradis artillery, even as the vulpine moved and launched the last pair of the AT-missiles, which blasted clear on white trails of vapour, speeding away, before top-attacking; at least on the sim. One flew true, the second sim-defeated by the counter-missile defences of the tank. One target winked out, and the second registered as a mobility kill from the mortars, but was putting up a furious defence with everything at its' disposal.
"One down," the fox said urgently. "Two to go. One mobility kill."
Yes, and engage them with 'maximum prejudice'.
Also, fark up those tanks! Attack helicopters are ideal for making tanks' lives a misery!

I have posted, and it's a good time to note that I'll be away from this evening until Sunday evening (UK time, obvz), roleplaying with my tabletop group. See you then, don't destroy the world.
I beleive in my modified brief, Raisa, Nawlin Shona and Adrian are to engage Winter's unit, while the rest of us engage Slypheed's. So, by all means yes, but I'd make sure you all stick together. Go shoot up the GEAR unit though, please!
Looks pretty good to me - sorry it took me a while to reply. I've added a temporary picture for Switchback as well (I just stole his appearance from Skids in the comic for now, though I might try and draw a picture or scan something later).

How do you think we should start off? Do you think we need to discuss the aliens a bit more?
Thanks for pointing that out, Aristo. I'll mend it this evening!
Yay, I made a post. Kicking ass and taking names.
And Cart's right about the terrain; it's gently rolling farmland, dotted with a few hedges, bushes and trees, as well as a few low hills and drystone walls. Mostly flat, with some terrain features as one would expect from a (mostly abandoned) farm.
