Looking for reliable, detailed RP Partner.

[Obsidianserpent]

Hello everyone. After pouring hours into the creation of RPs, only to have players post content that is difficult to understand and littered with spelling and grammatical errors, I've come to realize that the only way that I can continue to use this site is if I find a reliable partner who's interested in detailed RPs. I'm looking for someone who puts a lot of thought into their posts, and is willing to write two to three paragraphs per post at least. I'm also looking for someone who edits their work.


I'd rather a RP partner take time to think about what they're going to post and plan it out, than quickly slop something together in order to meet some posting requirement. In other words, I prioritize quality over quantity. I'm also only interested in RPing with players who create dynamic characters that are well thought out, have personality flaws and get wounded in physical confrontations or battles. It's not fun playing with a cheesy character trope who's apparently invincible.


I'm interested in fantasy RPs almost exclusively. Here is a sample of my writing. If you share my frustrations and are looking for a literate, create RPer that you can depend on to consistently post quality material, please send me a decent sized writing sample so that I can determine whether or not we will be compatible.


Below is a sample of my writing:

Spoiler

It was an unusually stormy night, even for the jungles of Kehjistan. The Mage Zoltun Kulle approached the three soul stones which stood in the center of the intricate pentagram which had been carefully etched upon the ground. The stones emitted a subtle energy that sent a chill down Kulle's spine. It wasn't something he wasn't used to; the stones had become an addiction of sorts. Never before had he come across artifacts of such incredible power. He yearned to uncover their secrets. A stone which could trap the essences of both angels and demons; with such a tool, humanity could finally rise against the forces of heaven and hell, and unlock the power of the Nephalem. Indeed, with a sufficient knowledge of the stone's properties, he could perhaps create a new and more powerful artifact, capable of trapping multiple demonic and angelic souls within a single stone. Such an experiment would be costly however, and Kulle had spent several months slaving away in quiet study, tirelessly investigating the mysterious stones.


A grin spread across his face as he stretched forth his hand and began to recite the incantation. The pentagram upon the ground began to light up in flames. Kulle pulled a sharp dagger from his belt, and slid it across the palm of his hand, letting blood upon the three stones below. The blood sizzled as it came in contact with the surface of the stones, emitting plumes of smoke. The wind began to steadily increase, before eventually tearing apart the small jungle shack in which he resided. The rain and wind beat against Kulle's skin, as smoke spilled forth from the vibrating stones. Kulle took a deep breath, before extending his hand once more. Suddenly, the stones began to rise from the ground. The red, yellow and blue stones began to glow, before emitting a tremendous pulse of energy. Kulle quickly performed an incantation, transmuting arcane energy into a thin but resilient field of force. While the magical shield absorbed some of the force, the film of energy quickly dissolved from the impact of the shock wave, knocking Kulle off is feet and shredding the nearby plants and vegetation.


Kulle's face filled with anger and disappointment. He'd tried hundreds of arcane experiments, and while he'd learned much about the stones' capabilities, he'd yet to unlock the true secrets of its creation. To uncover the secrets of the soul stones was to discover the recipe to immortality.


Footsteps could be heard in the distance. A man in brown robes approached Kulle, who was struggling to regain his footing. "Brother Kulle..." "What!?" Kulle quickly snapped, clearly frustrated. "The recruits have arrived....they await your instruction at the docks...". Kulle snarled, pulling himself to his feet with the aid of his large ornate battle staff. "Very well...I'll be there shortly..." Kulle muttered. His Horadric brother bowed slightly, before retreating into the jungle. Kulle picked up the Soul Stones and placed them within a Horadric Cube and locking it magically, ensuring their safety. His experiments had failed but Kulle was determined to keep trying. He could give up now, not when he was so close to a breakthrough. But his work could wait for now. With another invocation he opened up a shifting portal to the docks. As he stepped through, he couldn't help but wonder what to expect from his new recruits. Kulle had selected some of the most skilled combatants in Sanctuary. Still, the task before them was daunting, and the stakes were incredibly high. He could only hope that he'd chosen wisely...


I hope to hear back from some of you.

Is there a specific fantasy fandom you are looking to rp or are you just looking for fantasy in general? Also, interesting premise so far in your example. It is not often that we see mages fail.

Heyo buddy! I'd send you a pm, but I'm a noob, and I can't do that yet. So if you're still interested in finding that literate and detailed partner, send me a message, and let's discuss what you're looking for in an RP?

@Capricious Raven, I'm currently craving a low magic, celtic/medieval fantasy, set in an icy mountain dale. The RP would have a darker tone overall, resembling the aesthetic of Skyrim or Icewind Dale. I would play a Skin Walker, someone with the ability to tap into the spirit world and possess the minds of animals. Here's the prologue:

Spoiler

After suffering years of defeat at the hands of the Genmar Empire, the once mighty Boudicca tribe has been pushed further and further into the mountains of Gildas. All that remains of this proud people is a small encampment of thatched canopy houses, guarded by rickety walls. Though their blood line has grown thin, the Boudicca have managed to keep their most recent encampment well hidden. Relying upon spiritual traditions passed down for generations, the pride of this ancient people endures. For the first time in nearly a century, the Boudicca have enjoyed a decade of peace.


But something evil stirs in the mountain dale. Many of the beasts within the surrounding wilderness have become rabid and monstrous aberrations with unnatural strength. Having developed an unusual lust for human flesh, one such creature, an enormous bear deity known as the Mathghamhain, brutally injured several scouts. Profoundly disturbed by the mad behavior of this once wise and honorable spirit, the village Elder has summoned the Skin Walker Neas to her chambers, to discuss the situation...


Meanwhile, within the Genmarian capital of Genma, a large bounty has been placed upon the head of Leris Ruthermont, Guild Master of the illegal slaver organization known as the Crimson Hand. After the guild's large-scale coup against King Jaran was exposed and dismantled, Leris fled to the northern mountains to seek refuge in the icy dale. The prize for capturing this sadistic traitor is the Serpent's Eye, an emerald the size of a human fist. Since the reward was announced, several skilled bounty hunters have dared to travel north in search of the Guild Master...

 

[Capricious Raven]

Sounds intriguing. Are you looking for someone to play another Boudicca or someone from Genmarian?

 

[Obsidianserpent]

Either; I could either travel with a fellow Boudiccan or run into a foreigner from Genmar along the way.
