-I am based in EST, 20+, she/her pronouns
-I have been role-playing for around 8 years now.
-I have lazy lit to novella, though it depends on how much I have been given to work with. At minimum, my posts are a solid 3-5 paragraphs and at maximum 8-11 paragraphs. I tend prefer quality over quantity, so what really matters for me is a response with new actions/reactions/dialogue to continue moving things along.
-I am very fond of world-building and can come up with new characters at a drop of a hat.
-I am fond of having diversity within my characters: ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc. A majority of my characters are queer.
-I do have an office job with a 9-5, so during the days where I have a lot of work or have OT, I am less responsive and may not get a response out. However, for the most part, I can get out at least one response and I am a fan of rapid-posting. I can post several times a day.
-For my active roleplays, I love to make character playlists and share aesthetics.
-I use exclusively anime/digital art faceclaims.
-Ages 20+
- A lazy lit-novella writing partner writing in 3rd person with proper grammar.
-Someone who wouldn't mind playing side characters as I also will be doing to help bring the world to life.
-An active plotter! I love chatting about the roleplay in ooc and I want my partner to also be moving things forward.
-Preferably an active poster -- if we can get the ball rolling on the roleplay and keep things going that would be great!
-Someone who uses digital art or anime for face-claims. Realistic face-claims make me uncomfortable.
-LGBQT-friendly
I've put a star next to my craving plots.
A horror/cryptid-hunting roleplay set in a strange town on the Oregon coast surrounded by the ocean and hundreds of miles of forest. Muse A is an ornithologist, following news of a possible strange new species of bird found within the pacific northwest forest by the town. He is also a skeptic of the supernatural, being a no-nonsense man of science. Muse B is also new to the town, and unlike Muse A, he is a believer, a cryptid-hunter brought there by a number of forums claiming some sort of strange undocumented cryptid. Little did the two realize just how connected the incidents are. The roleplay follows the two new visitors to the town, who by some strange twist of fate, find themselves thrown into increasingly strange situations in the town.

This horror roleplay is set on a jaunt across the world. Muse A is an American writer, who has won relatively warm acclaim to his first two novels, and upon experiencing writer's block, has decided to travel Europe for his first destination. While settling down for the week at a Bed and Breakfast, he comes across Muse B, an occultist or exorcist who has travelled to the B&B on request of the owners, whose daughter has been seized by an inexplicable phenomenon. Muse A gets swept up into helping Muse B, and gets an inkling of an idea for his next novel. He then sets out again, but ends up bumping into Muse B each time they part. This is a bit more of a monster of the week/travolgue roleplay.

The horror roleplay takes place in 1919, after the Great War. Following the end of the war, the massive death tolls have stirred something within the veil, causing a massive surge of hauntings and possessions. Muse A is a fake exorcist claiming to be a pyschic, descending from a long line of accredited actual psychics and exorcist, he has shown no indication of any latent powers. He is a carefree young man, with little scruples on capitalizing on the acclaim of his family to earn money. Muse B is a slightly older man and an exorcist who has vanquished his fair share of ghosts and demons. In recent years, they have heard one another's names multiple times, and at times, even had to compete for the same jobs. As a result of Muse A's lack of ethics and Muse B's harshness towards Muse A, the two are enemies -- rivals, one may even say, though Muse B certainly would not call a fraud like Muse A his rival.

Set in a small town, a Detective is swept into increasingly strange cases by an insistent child, claiming their parent's death was not as it seemed. On the surface, it seemed like a fairly simple open-and-shut case. But as they investigate further, they realize all of these strange happenings are intrinsically linked.

This gothic horror roleplay is set in an old and crumbling manor built in picturesque Cornwall. Muse A is a sickly fallen aristocrat, who has sold off his London town home, in favor of returning to the family estate, which had been empty for the last two generations -- when his grandfather fled the manor in favor of London. There, he finds the manor in disrepair, requiring a great deal of work put into it, to make it hospitable once more. Muse B also comes to the estate, whether it is as someone newly hired to work for Muse A as a physician, a resident of Cornwall, or some sort of exorcist/hunter/journalist who comes to investigate the strange rumors that have plagued the manor. The manor is more than what it seems and darkness seems to plague it.

This is a gothic horror roleplay set at an isolated lighthouse that has gone through a number of keepers in rapid succession -- a string of disappearances or terminations. Muse A is only the lastest keeper, seeking a more peaceful life away from the city, they took the job on impulse, thinking they could perhaps work on their writing. Muse B has come to the lighthouse to investigate the unfortunate circumstances that seem to plague it (they can be a number of things: paranormal investigator/PI/journalist). As they come together to uncover the mysteries of the lighthouse, they find what awaits them bigger than anything they could have imagined.
