Gruntiest of the Grunts!
Hey guys! It's been a while since I made a thread looking for partners, but I think I wanted to open it up again just to see if anyone else was interested in what I can offer. If you’re interested in sharing a potential plot with me, let me know!
WHAT I ROLEPLAY:
Orestes blinked at her in mild surprise. "...A vegetarian," he repeated. He flinched slightly and held up a finger. "...Give me a moment."
He sprinted to the kitchen, his formal and polite stance practically forgotten. He opened the doors and poked his head in, mumbling something to the other side to the chef.
While Orestes' voice couldn't be heard, the response was immediate and loud: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S A VEGETERIAN?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN COOKING THIS ROASTED DUCK?!"
Orestes quickly ducked back out, his face flushed. He shook his head and laughed uneasily. "...I'm sorry about that. He'll change the dinner plans accordingly."
He cleared his throat awkwardly again, eager to escape from that embarrassing situation. He entered the second door, a distance away from the kitchen.
"And this is your ballroom," Orestes said, holding an arm out to a grand, spherical ballroom. The floor was polished to the point that it almost appeared as though she was walking on a mirror; enormous crimson curtains were draped on the far left side of the room, and a glass chandelier hung gracefully over their heads. "This as you can imagine was usually used for parties. If you're interested in learning the waltz, Lyncis and Derek are excellent dance partners."
WHAT I ROLEPLAY:
- Casually. I respond in 2-3 paragraphs— while I'm decently descriptive, I don’t have a flair for purple prose, at least on my end. I don’t mind if you do it, though! Just understand that I dislike detailing a scene unless it establishes a very important part in the story.
- Dialogue and character-driven. I use a LOT of dialogue, especially between the characters that I’m role playing. While I may not spend a lot of time establishing a scene with detail, I may spend a lot of time establishing a scene with dialogue alone. On that same note, while I do care about where the plot is going, I focus a lot on relationships between my characters and yours, as well as character development.
- More than romance. While I do live for a romantic flair, I enjoy other relationships our characters may have, such as friendships and a sibling-like or other familial bond. If the roleplay devolves into romance alone, I lose interest.
- Humor and silliness. Not everyone appreciates my sense of humor, and I can respect that. While I can certainly handle some drama and conflict, I like to provide a lot of comedy relief to give the story a chance to breathe.
- Multiple characters, original characters. I lean more toward original stories than fandoms, but I can do the latter provided we use our own characters— I dislike using canon characters from an already established fandom. Similarly, I like to roleplay at the very minimum 2 characters, though I have roleplayed as many as 8-9 characters in. Here is an example of the characters that I use: Digital - “Harem” Guys
- I also draw my own characters... I’ve had one person complain they didn’t like my cartoons and would prefer me to search for actual photographs of people... And I feel uncomfortable doing that. I completely understand if you would rather find a partner that uses photographs for their characters instead, but I wanted to let you know ahead of time.
