I freely admit that I copy-pasted the below from my introduction post. But I don't feel like retyping stuff if it will still say the same thing anyway. It's one of the few things I'm lazy about.
Hello everyone, my name is GlacialisD. I'm 24-years-old and female (Not that I particularly care about my gender, preferring to think of myself as gender neutral). I've been looking for a place to rp, and this seems to be it so far. Before I tried other sites, but none had consistent replies.
Admittedly, I can go days between posting when I'm working on other stuff as well, but at least I warn people about that beforehand. I would like to have the same courtesy extended to myself.
I prefer posts of at least 2 or 3 paragraphs, but understand that that isn't always realistic. As for the pace, I like it reasonably high, but again understand if that isn't always possible. Sometimes you have other things to do. Sometimes the muse has bred new plotbunnies and is plomping those in your arms, leaving you with no hands to do other stuff. Perfectly understandable. It happens to me too.
Currently I'm looking for 1x1 rp. Groups are also possible, but I prefer to keep these small, about 2 to 4 roleplayers. My favourite genre is fantasy of all kinds, although I can't do sci-fi to safe my life. Also, while I won't reject modern day fantasy roleplay, I'm not really skilled at it, so there's that.

Roleplay ideas I've been playing with:
(Setting for multiple roleplays in the same world.)
Basically a standard high fantasy world with a twist featuring Imperial Elves. Elves have long since passed their Golden Age, but do not wish to lose their 'superiority'. They are the 'height' of 'culture' after all. In order to do this, they sabotage the growth of other races, locking the world in a perpetual Medieval Age. (Not that anyone knows this, even most elves are excluded from this knowledge)
Unlike most high fantasy worlds, vampires and werewolves will play a prominent role too. If only because they are perfect for the role. The Elves worship 'Selene' (actual name pending), Goddess of the Moon, Purity and Life.
This is where vampires come in. Also called children of the moon by other races. The Elves won't stand for this, seeing these -Impure-, -Undead- beings as a mockery of all their Goddess stands for, and are waging a war of genocide against the race. They are close to succeeding too.
For this, they ally with werewolves, a relatively young race, originally born when a curse of vampiric origin fell upon a Druidic Tribe.
(I can go on and on about this setting and all the other races in this world, but I won't unless someone professes they're interested)
The Fate of Fools: (another setting for multiple roleplays in the same world)
(Beforehand I want to say, I love Elves. Really. but while I like how they're portrayed in traditional fiction, I do not like the way they seem perfect and infallible, and therefore try to deconstruct and reconstruct the race endlessly. It just so happens that out of the resulting settings, the ones with them in a (slightly?) negative light tend to lend themselves well to worldbuilding.)
So yeah. Once there was a foolish Elf who wished to have equal powers to the Gods. To this end he experimented endlessly. Eventually he succeeded, evoking the anger of the Gods with what came to be called the Arch-Sin. The Act itself shrouded in mystery, information forgotten in the Anals of Time.
Fastforward to the present (tens of thousands of years later). The Gods have abandoned the world after what happened, and taken the blessing of magic with them. The Immortal races have long since left the world (excluding the now mortal elves), leaving only elves, humans and other mortal races behind.) Humans are the only ones thriving in this world.
The world itself is dying, and the constant demon invasions don't make it easier on anyone. There are however whispers of salvation: The Divine Child.
Ofcourse nothing is ever easy, and the being is shrouded in mystery, information forgotten in the Anals of Time. This description sounds familiar? This is on purpose. The Act and the Divine Child are one and the same. It was the creation of the Divine Child that came to be called the ArchSin.
Furthermore, it will turn out that humans are thriving due to the fact that they unconsciously channel divine energy through themselves and into their surroundings. Which in turn is possible due to being descended from the Divine Child (And all that is implied by this. Which no one knows of... *rubs hands in glee*)
World of Letitia (AKA Lets do the Time Loop Again)(AKA That Plunny with a horrifically dark pre-beginning)
There have been mass disappearances for a few years now, but eventually, while still horrifying, it became old news. Until the day the small city Character A lives in was next. Finding yourself transported to another world, only suffering awaits, being used as an incubator for a race the inhabitants see as [Gods].
These Gods feed on the pain and despair of beings, and well, when the inhabitants of this world had the chance, they pushed it upon another race, in this case, humans. Initially thinking us mindless/incapable of <Speech> (Read telepathy), they get the shock of a lifetime when one of their prisoners (Character A) sends out an overwhelming signal of distress moments before dying. They immediately halt what they are doing, now knowing humans to be sentient, but it's a tad bit too late for character A.
Unfortunately for Character A, they were not the only ones that picked up on it.
Character A wakes up a few weeks earlier, thinking it to be a mere nightmare, but as time goes by, and history starts repeating itself, they have to face that their torture actually happened, and is to happen again. And happen again it does. And again. And again. ad infinitum.
So yeah, eventually they manage to recreate the initial fluke of broadcasting his thoughts, finally managing to change things, but by that time, they are rather less sane than before. At that time they don't care about what their captors did, just that it finally stopped.
After a lifetime of living in and exploring this new world, they take their final breathe.
Only for the loop to start anew. This is where the roleplay starts.
So yeah. Basically a time travelers' plunny, with one faction trying to keep history on the rails and prevent the universe from imploding (going to rather extreme measures for this), and on the other side everyone else, including deserters from the former faction.
I have got to admit, this universe is somewhat juvenile at its core. Understandable, since I've been working on it since I was 8-years-old, but juvenile nevertheless. It does hold a special place in my heart though.
It is also HUGE, spanning millions of years.
It begins on a planet with human life on it. Rather sparsely populated though, with humanity restricted to nine colonies, due to rather dangerous wildlife. But literally a few hours before achieving FTL space travel, their world is invaded, chosen to be the battlefield for what is best described as 'wargames', but tends to destroy the ecosystem of the planet in question nevertheless.
One side is rather unhappy about this, the tentative 'Good' Guys, and try to change this before the wargames begin, but fail, having to resort to protecting the inhabitants. Bad communication kills though, and humanity fails to realize they are being <sheltered>, just thinking themselves imprisoned.
The 'Bad' Guys choose this world on purpose, to handicap the other side. Ofcourse it's a bit more complicated than 'Good and Evil', but that's billions of years of history to explain.
Both sides are mystically empowered by the same source, and were originally one faction, before they split and caused an intergalactic war spanning millenia. The wargames are meant to be a 'civilized' substitute though.
This empowerment is either through the force of Yang, or the force of Yin. People suitable to the Yang Force tend to be physical warriors, they are also equipped with powerful soul-sealing weapons, which have a complicated set of rules around them.
People of the Yin Force are more like magicians. Their ability relates around the mind, and they can manipulate crystals on a massive scale. (Though I say crystals, what they create is harder than diamond). They could crystallize the entire atmosphere of a planet in an instant, if they so desire.
The Alien Races either lean to one or the other, but when a human girl accidently gets caught up in the empowerment ritual, she turns out to be both of them at once. She is given a leading position, despite being new at everything, through virtue of being overpowered like hell.
Not quite able to use both powers in a single form, she initially splits into two beings to use her power. One of Yang, and one of Yin. The Yin helps protect the remaining humans, the Yang goes out into the battlefield.
At some point the battle is over (permanently) but not until the lead 'Bad' guy tricks her into sealing the souls of her family and friends (Not that he is aware of who these beings are to her) before his are sealed. Leaving her with a dilemma. To free them (According to the rules I mentioned before) she would need to free him too. Her side won't let her though, being ruthless enough to sacrifice a few innocents for the 'Greater Good'.
The Aliens leave, leaving a ruined planet behind. The girl they empowered stays behind too initially, wishing to help rebuild her home. She soon figures out she isn't aging though, and calls for a pick-up soon after, not wishing to explain this to her people, who have come to seen the Aliens as Demons, and fears it will become known she is similar to them.
It isn't just that she can't age though, she's genuinely immortal in every single way.
After a few hundred years she does start coming back to her home planet every once in a while, but by that time humanity had devolved back into hunter-gatherers. She does push them forward scientifically, but only in small bit.
After a few hundred thousands of years, the ritual of empowerment falls out of use, eventually leaving her the only empowered being. She is basically being worshipped as a God by the galaxy.at one point, to her chagrin.
Eventually though, even she becomes a mostly faded story. Not quite at the level of a myth, because people know she was a real person, but close to it.
Eventually, she returns to her home planet again, just as they invent FTL again. She decides to settle down, having long since learned how to transform her body to mimic the aging process, being practically omnipotent.
But things hit a snag when humans are introduced to the Galactic Stage. They recognize several alien species for what their ancestors thought they were: The demons that destroyed their world.
