There's a panhandler who hangs out on the street corner by our dispensary every afternoon with a sign that just says "Green 4 Green?" and tbh, I respect my boy's confidence.

Bio

Personal Profile

Name: Taylor
Pronouns: They/them
Age: Mid 20s
Relationship: Married (happily, I might add)
Time Zone: Arizona (we hate daylight savings, so it's MST year-round)
Writing History: I've been on a number of different roleplaying websites for over a decade and a half
Hobbies: Writing, fitness, driving/exploring, hiking, camping, traveling, tabletop games, anything NEW (I love trying things I've never done before)
Roleplayer Profile

Format: 1x1s only. Maybe I'll try a group RP again someday, but I've never had one last longer than a few months
Posting Speed: Depending on my schedule, I can usually post at least once per week
Favorite Genres: Modern, Historical, Romance, Action/Adventure, Horror/Dark, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Dystopian, can be convinced to write some Sci-Fi
Hard 'no's: Fandoms. Sorry, but I can't maintain interest in characters/worlds I didn't build with my partner
Template: Public threads or PMs. I prefer to keep all my RPs in one place, so no emails or G-docs or the like
Rating: Comfortable with 18+ content, but it's not a necessity and I prefer not to center a plot around explicit scenes
Level: Advanced. Will consistently provide around 400-700 words per post, but can occasionally leap to 2000+
Character preference: One main character, but large side casts are greatly enjoyed. Because I write long posts, I prefer not to double
Gender preference: Male. You'll be hard pressed to convince me to play a female that isn't a background character. It's just not my forte
Romantic Relationships: MxF or MxM (currently prefer MxM)
Character Images: Faceclaims or detailed descriptions only. I envision the characters like real people in my mind, so I can't take anime seriously
OOC chat: Yes please! I'm a total extrovert who loves to get to know the amazing minds behind my partners' characters

@Overlord Thraka Anytime! I hope you find what you're looking for :)

Also, if you ever need a GFX request, you know where to stop :D
@Overlord Thraka Don't worry about it! There are a number of artists in the gallery who can take your request, but I think all of them ask for payment. Most are around $20 (I think??)

If you're willing to pay for their services, I'm sure they would do a wonderful job! :)
@Overlord Thraka It's all good! And yeah, I do CS pictures :)
Examples of my GFX works are on the first post in this thread, along with a request form that you can fill out.

Just so you know: I'm not a normal "artist" artist. I work with photoshop, and similar software to edit images into something new. So I can't create a character for you from scratch, but I can find an image (I can work with both anime/cartoon figures and real people) and customize it for you
@Overlord Thraka I am! I'm also not sure what you mean by limits. Could you elaborate?
I'll definitely keep you and your fam in my prayers! Good luck out there
Jay was pleased to hear Anna agree to engage in a survival situation with him, even if she did so reluctantly. Hopefully she’ll warm up to the idea later, he thought. ‘Survival’ could sound intimidating at first, but he knew it could also be a lot of fun. His heart was already beating a little faster with excitement at all the possibilities. They could go camping in the woods with only a bare minimum of supplies; they could take a trip rafting down a river; or they could go backpacking in the mountains. He didn’t care what they chose. Anything would be great to him.

He clicked his ballpoint pen in thought when Anna asked if he had time to work on the project with her over the weekend. He was always busy with various events on weekends, but he couldn’t remember what, if anything, was going on during the next one. There wouldn’t be a cross country race yet—the season had only just begun, so they were still training—but his fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon (ΔΚΕ, or ‘Deke’ for short), always seemed to have something planned.

“Let me check,” Jay said, reaching for his phone. He opened up his calendar to see what his weekend looked like. He was glad he had decided to make note of all the events this time around. He hadn’t done so during his freshman or sophomore years, and he had had a wild experience trying to remember when things were happening. This time, it looked like there were two events, one on Friday and another on Saturday. On Friday, Deke was hosting a paintball tournament. He definitely wanted to go to that. However, the Saturday event was a “bad movie” party at the frat house. Having been a part of Deke for two years, he knew how that was going to go down: All of his brothers would get shitface drunk and hook up with the sorority girls they invited. Personally, Jay had never been fond of drinking events. He attended a few of them every once in a while—mostly for the sake of bonding with his brothers—but he preferred to be sober.

“I’ve got plans on Friday night, but I’m free for the rest of the weekend,” he announced, deciding not to go to the movie night. He put his phone back down on the table again. “I know I said I prefer presenting, but I promise I’m not gonna make you do all of the hard work, Anna.” He didn’t want her to think he was going to leave all of the preliminary work to her. He had had enough lazy partners in the past to know how annoying that could be. “I’ll do some research this week, too, and we can meet up on Saturday to discuss what we find. How about we get together again at noon to grab lunch at the hub? Oh, and one more thing,” He picked up his phone again. “Do you mind giving me your number so we can stay in touch? Just in case plans change, or we need to reach each other for whatever reason, you know?”
@Noxxis You're welcome! I'm glad you like it :D
@Noxxis Here you go!



@Noxxis Yep! Just fill out a form when you can :)
Jay went to work right away in the hunt for research topics. He retrieved three notecards and a pen from his backpack, ready to write down his choices, and entered ‘Psychology of…’ into the Google search engine. Dozens of web articles popped up in response, so he scrolled down the list and skimmed the titles of each as he looked for something to pique his interest. The options were seemingly endless. He whistled quietly as he read subject after subject. He had had no idea how diverse psychology was. It was going to be harder than he thought to choose just three.

Psychology of Sport and Exercise
Psychology of Color
Psychology of Violence
Psychology of Social Status
Psychology of Selfies


Jay paused to laugh at that last one. He found it funny that some scientist in the world took the time and effort to study people taking pictures of themselves. Then again, somebody had to do it eventually. It seemed like everything else had been studied already. He continued down the list:

Psychology of Eating
Psychology of Attractiveness
Psychology of Survival


He stopped again, his cursor hovering over the last title. Growing up in a family of outdoorsy people, he had always been fascinated with survival. He had been camping with his brother and father countless times—like real camping: in the middle of the mountains with no bathrooms and just a nearby stream for water—so he felt like he had a pretty solid understanding of survival. However, he had never once thought about the processes of his brain when he was out in the wilderness. It might have been interesting to study. He wrote it down on one of the three notecards, along with ‘Psychology of Obedience and Roleplaying’—he was still too interested in that one to pass it up—and ‘Psychology of Tattoos’—he didn’t know if Anna had any tattoos, but he had three, himself, so it could have been interesting to study what caused a person to choose whether or not to permanently mark his or her body.

Having picked out his three research subjects, Jay turned the cards face down and shuffled them together with Anna’s choices in the center of the table. He watched as she selected one at random, and was pleased to see it was his favorite option: ‘Psychology of Survival.’ He grinned, excited to come up with a plan as to how they would go about researching the chosen topic. She didn’t seem quite as enthusiastic as he was, but he hoped he could change her mind. She was probably just uncomfortable about the idea of survival, like many other girls he knew. But also like many other girls, she would probably warm up to it with time.

“I don’t have any specific ideas for it right now,” Jay answered her question with a shrug. He leaned back in his chair and folded his arms over his chest. “We have to study each other though, right? I was thinking we could put together some sort of survival situation and see how the other person responds. I don’t know what that would look like yet, but it’s one option.” He offered her a friendly smile. “You don’t have to worry. It wouldn’t be anything intentionally dangerous, and I have a lot of experience, so I can make sure we stay safe.”
