Looking for:

-Someone who writes in third person, past-tense prose. First person past tense and third person present tense are acceptable. I apologise, but 3rd person future tense bothers me and I would very much appreciate if you would avoid this tense. I also do not like 2nd person (talking to the reader).

-Someone who values the art of writing and will take care in the craft. I do not wish to role play with someone who does not know the difference between homophones. I am aware that everyone makes typing errors every once in a while, but with consistent and repeated mistakes, I may just drop you suddenly. Misspellings can change the meaning of the word so please make sure you are using the right word. "Their" and "there" are not the same word. Please keep the tense consistent as well.

-Someone who does not control my character(s), god-mod, or introduce new characters and expect me to rp them because I will not. I also do not expect others to rp characters that I introduce unless you want to rp certain characters that I introduce. I will rp any character I introduce, even if I have introduced over 20 characters, I will rp every single one. It would be great if we could identify the various powers or attributes of the characters before we start, we can easily avoid creating overpowered characters. Another way to avoid this is to decide the rules of the world beforehand.

-Someone who would double would be great, but it is not required. If there are more characters, it seems as though the world is more real. While I may play many characters, there will still be a main character, despite the fact that they may not be present at all given times. That being said, I have no gender preference as to who I play against (f, m, or nb) and am comfortable with any pairing (LGBTQ+). I am also comfortable playing any gender. I do not do romances between my main character and yours but I will introduce a character specifically for romance if need be. I believe that slow burn relationships are better, especially if there are ups and downs.

-Someone who will propel the plot so that I am not simply talking to myself or leading someone along. We can hammer out a general direction before we start and fill in the blanks with prose as we go. I do not like plotless role plays or role plays centred around romance. It often feels incredibly forced. If romance happens, it happens and if not, then it does not happen.

--I don't act as only NPCs/world build alone/DM. Half of the fun is working together to build a story in which we build upon one another. If I wanted to only play NPCs, I would make a video game.

--I do not want to play against a damsel in distress who waits for others to rescue them while doing nothing themselves. There is only so much that can be done when a character won't help him/herself in some way, even something so simple as extending a hand or prayer for help. I do not want to play against a Mary Sue. The world does not revolve around anyone, so don't try to force this written world to.

Thank you to everyone who has gotten this far and decided to continue reading.

About Me

I am over 20 years of age with approximately 10 years of writing and 7 years of rping. I live in US Eastern Time (UTC -5:00).

I really like writing either steampunk or futuristic. I like writing sci-fi fantasy but will write anything except slice-of-life romance. I usually do original settings with a general basis in a western setting because that is the thing most people are familiar with. I do not use stock characters and make new characters for each rp, even if the plot and setting for the rp is exactly the same as another I have running.

I am ambivalent about using threads or pms. I prefer to use discord personally simply because my RPN notifications don't always appear right away. I can reply either daily or every other day depending on how long each reply is and how much real life will allow me to. If I will not be able to reply for two or more days, I will notify you.

Writing Logistics

I have no particular preference for length of replies. 3+ sentences per reply would be nice but I'm not going to have a fit over 1 line responses so long as they say all that you want to say and MOVE THE PLOT ALONG. Please don't be repetitive just to make your reply longer. Saying "he did nothing" in three different ways accomplishes nothing despite being 3 sentences. Don't just stand there waiting for something to happen. Obviously, action scenes, dialogue, or interactions that rely upon both parties will have shorter sentence counts than those of expository posts, so just know that context determines post length and it should be fairly intuitive.

In general, I would say that fewer than 5 sizeable paragraphs are preferable because at some point it seems like the words are just to increase the length and nothing more than that.
General Rule of Thumb (that I go by): Dialogue is between 3 sentences and 2 paragraphs. Action is under 1 paragraph if it is an exchange between the two writers and can be as long as 3 paragraphs if it is just the one writer. Expository replies can be up to 5 paragraphs.

I would like someone who can reply regularly, preferably daily or every other day. My frequency will be a minimum of 2 times per day with a maximum of 10 replies possible if I am on a roll and the responses are short. Please do not just disappear on me. I know life happens and understand that but it would be really great to have some notice. Drop me a message at your earliest convenience if you will be gone for more than a few days instead of me having to poke you and tell me if you just aren't feeling the rp; it happens and I won't get offended. I'm just going to throw it out there that people can see the last time you were online on this site.

I do not mind if you use stock characters. I personally don't use stock characters so each new rp has its own unique characters with unique backstories, appearances, and names; however, I do use certain recurring personality traits: mischievous trickster looking to escape from an inane life, defiant youngster looking to prove themselves, shrewd strategist who is only interested in winning, among others. This is just my personal preference and does not mean that you should adhere.

I prefer discord but it would be better to use the platform you check more often

Topics

I'm good with almost anything, just suggest a genre and I'm sure we can come to an agreement on the genre we will be writing within the parameters of. I also really love universe building down to the most precise details. In the case of Sci-fi, I like having technology that could plausibly work because I am a science nerd. I hope that if we decide to build a universe, our collaboration can make something great. My strengths in writing are sci-fi/futuristic and supernatural/fantasy.

No illegal sexual activities (bestiality, statutory, misconduct, etc.). No topics associated with recent traumatic events please! (eg. mass shootings, bombings, hostage situations, etc.) I am willing to do a sort of crime drama rp but I would ask that you not make light of recently televised tragedies.

Slice of life is not really my thing, as it usually only entails romance. I don't like forced romance or romance-centred stories and am a plot-driven writer.

I am not a fan of plots that are specifically Role A x Role B. Personally, I find those types of RPs to be constricting, leaving much less creative freedom. It feels like on some level the character is not entirely mine.

RP Premise Ideas

These ideas have a lot of room for expansion. They’re broad settings and themes as opposed to plots and there is still a lot of room for creating a unique world and story!

Cravings:

--It was a short-lived mobile game in which you are randomly given an avatar to use to fight others. What happens when these avatars escape the game? (this draws on the webcomic Freak Quency)

--An isolated world is slowly crumbling but leaving is taboo; an invitation to leave is extended, what will happen next?


Ambivalent:

--A full-dive rpg game has a glitch. (this can be taken in multiple directions like SAO, .hack, or related series)

--A country has decided to take over the continent using super soldiers

Not Particularly Craved:

--A world in which the current governing body is corrupt due to either a hostile takeover or the gradual fall of a dynasty and the people are beginning to revolt

--Demigods are real and due to some catastrophe or organisation they must band together.

--A long-lived sorcerer was put into a slumber for a thousand years, how has the world changed? For what reason was he imprisoned

--A world in which people with abilities/mutations are pitted against one another in a battle royale for the entertainment of normal humans (this draws on the series Deadman Wonderland if anyone's heard of that)

--An evil force has been released due to the negligence of those in power and now adventurers must be sent out on a quest to find a way to defeat the evil before it destroys the world

These are settings and not plots because I like having plot development be done on the part of both individuals. That way, no one is forced into a specific role.

General Genres that I enjoy:
Dystopian Scifi
Steampunk
Mystery and Horror
Supernatural
Cyberpunk

I don't usually do fandom, although I may draw on some ideas here and there. If you can make a strong case, I will consider it because I know a lot of fandoms. I do not play canon characters from fandoms.
