Herald

New Member
Hello all ! I’m Herald ( they/them )

I’m from the south of England, and have been roleplaying for around a decade ( albeit, my skills have improved since I was starting out )

Up until I graduated in July I was a full time illustration student, and now I work a pretty bog-standard office job ( 9:00am - 5:30pm, GMT )


Who am I?

— I am 22, Libra; born in ‘02 ( 21+ preferred for roleplay partners, however 18+ exclusively )
They/them pronouns ( non-binary trans masc )
Literate / adv. literate
— My favourite animal is a whale shark ! 🐋

How do I write?

Literate / adv. literate

I tend to match my partners roleplay length, and I don’t say that with uncertainty. Truthfully, as long as there is substance to a reply and we’re hitting the standard paragraphing for literate; I don’t expect masses. Quality over quantity!

For reference, on standard the long term roleplays I have ongoing text the sit around 4 - 8 paragraphs per standard reply. On the longer, my oldest most consistent roleplay sat around 12 - 16 paragraphs per reply.

Now 12 - 16 paragraphs is a LOT and I do not expect of anymore, nor myself; but this is just to make indication I can match.

Speed wise for replies, this fluctuates. I work Monday through Friday, and do have a life outside of my hobbies that can throw obstacles in the way. Interest, health and reply length also impact how quick I am to the mark.

I aim to try and reply at minimum every two days and will often pick to take my time and give a more substantial response than churn out multiple. This isn’t always the instance though, if we get into the swing of things expect multiple a day! Chat wise, I’m very chatty and will always be around to OOC talk throughout the day on breaks and such!

Notable, I do not expect this back from others! I am patient, and will bump only to check in on your well being - you can take all the time you need.


Spoilers for The Walking Dead and spin offs ahead !

Content warning for drugs/alcohol mention, violence and all expected from TWD show ! Scars, blood and injury warning for the character visuals !


Why am I on RPNation?


Can’t reel in a fish if you never cast a line - so, I’m here l with bait.

Over the last few months I’ve gotten big into the walking dead, and what better way than to insert an original character.

I will, once I have finished my rewatch, be posting for cc/cc- however for this call I am indulging and seeking out some oc/cc or oc/oc with my own original character.

Lance Anderson Biography

Summary

Lance Anderson is a thirty-something, asthmatic, ex-jail bird turned rookie cop trying to keep his neck.

Petty theft, aggravated assault and possession of class C drugs had him in and out of young offenders throughout his later adolescence and into his twenties. Nothing serious, Valium and cannabis the primary perpetrators. Estranged from his twin brother midway into his twenties, no parents to speak of after years in the system; he couch surfed and lived out of his car. Accomplice in armed robbery, glorified get away driver, placed Lance in for a few years behind bars.

Good behaviour got him out early on community service. When not picking litter or scrubbing graffiti, he worked day-pay builders work on the recommendation of a friend. Weekly meets with his probation worker, Lance was put up for social rehabilitation into police employment.

Praise off his probation worker and six months at the LAPD Academy, Lance was placed in King County Sheriff's Department. It was his first time out of Florida. At the time of the outbreak, Lance was just over a year into his training as a rookie on patrol with Deputy Shane Walsh.

Pairings


Romance! I would love to see some semblance of affection between these character, eventually.

This does not mean platonic is off the table- nor does it mean I’m only angling for romance. If you have thoughts for platonic only interactions, found family - do reach out. However, please let me know if you’re angling for this straight away so I do not get the wrong end of the stick.

I crave meaningful interactions, hurt/comfort, emotional healing, deep dives on mental health, angst, discussions of grief, world building, new takes on situations ; I want to hear every thought you have. Yes, affection and love between characters brings a different level, but make it burn and hurt them both -with reasoning and build up! If it’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s the whole ‘we’ve fallen in love all of sudden with no bonding time!’

Notably, as you would have seen in the bio. Lance is a gay man, and for roleplays where romance will eventually be brought into play - these will be pairings against other men. I’ve listed some of the pairings I have existing ideas for!

Daryl x Lance
Jesus/Paul x Lance
Aaron x Lance ( post Eric )
Original character x Lance


Do also bring any head-canons you have about existing characters! Queer canons? Trans canons? Building on backstory lore? Random facts you think fit? Hand it over!

These character listed are just those who I have immediate thoughts for - however, if you have an itch to write any other canon character and feel there is a story we can tell there; please let me know! I’ll honestly go crazy for anybody.


Prompt details

In all plots, regardless of pairing, we could follow suit with the shows plot with additional characters, alternative characters surviving or dying in the plot, go canon divergent, follow canon, or cook something entirely new up! Alternative universes, different endings, even touch on some of the spin off shows if we feel like reaching out that far. ( Aside from the main how, I have only seen The Ones Who Live and the Daryl Dixon spin offs fully, however no need to concern yourself with spoilers! If you have ideas for a spin off not mentioned, gimme a holla and I’ll do some research and dive in )

(( I will say, I am quietly looking at Jurassic Park/World and considering an alternative universe. If you’re crazy,, let me know. ))

TWD is a dark show, and I am no stranger to those themes in roleplay - please let me know where your limits lie and any triggers that may come up. I won’t dive into crazy dark territory without a go ahead, but it’s always good to get a gauge on everyone’s comfortability first.

Lance’s integrated allows for an immediate settlement into the storyline; but with alterations, if it requires he be off alone - this can also be accomplished.

Here is snips of some of the characters with very basic TWD standard following prompts.


Daryl Dixon / Lance Anderson

Plot following - Greene Farmstead

Starting at the 'chupacabra’ episode, Daryl ends up in quite the state after being bucked off nervous Nelly and grazed by Andrea’s bullet. Unconscious, disoriented; the beginning of this plot follows along Daryl’s recovery. Shane sets Lance to keep an eye on Daryl in this period; partially because he doesn’t trust Daryl, and also because they don’t need anymore dead weight. Daryl’s skilled, and Shane can see that - useful, if he doesn’t end up crippled from stupidity.

As soon as Daryl’s turning around to head back out to look for Sophia, Lance is there to turn him right back around. They don’t need to get along, or even like each other - but over the span of the recovery mural distaste turns to some semblance of understanding.

This plot following along TWD plot with minor tweaks here and there. The prison era, Woodbury, Merle’s sacrifice, the flu, the saviours, the whispers, Daryl’s spinoff - there’s a lot of ground to cover. Following along canon, this can pick up truthfully wherever catches your eye in the story - and can go canon divergent where necessary if we feel a different storyline might be more interesting. I have a lot of thoughts and feeling here, and can yap for days.


Aaron / Lance Anderson

Canon divergent - Early encounter

Having stuck with Rick’s group, Lance is separated after the attack on the prison. Still weak and recovering from the flu, he gets all turned around - and in a spin on events Aaron has already been tailing the prison group.

Lance encounters Aaron, rightful captain crashout freaks assuming he’s one of the governors group and they end up having a punch up.

After a little understanding, it’s a pretty basic plot of travelling back to Alexandria. Throw in a little hurt/comfort with Lance’s recovery and boom bam bop easily cruising into either canon plot. Rick’s group could still show up, etc etc

Now to avoid any Eric drama, in any divergents where there’s looking to be potential interest or romance; it’s going to be best to shift up Eric’s death. Sorry king, you were iconic. Having him die nearly immediately from a walker, still giving Aaron that growth but avoiding any conflict with early plot. Or we just, run it no-burn slow-burn and follow canon. Just, no perusal until past Eric and that grief. Similarly, the guilt and such for both surviving as pairing off augh. Ouchies.


Jesus/Paul Rovia / Lance Anderson

I’m so sorry Paul, I love you so much to the point there is literally an art piece in the visuals with you. But I haven’t actually typed up any thoughts for him! Big fan of including something within the kingdom, Ezekiel calling Lance ‘Lancelot’ amuses me. Updates will be made at a later date!


Any character( cc or oc ) / Lance Anderson

Saviours plot - Captured

Lance ends up captured by the saviours, and so does y/c. Whether it’s Daryl during the Alexandria arc, Aaron out looking for good people, Jesus for god knows what reason or simply an OC. They could try to escape together, or just learn each other’s voices throw the walls - and then end up reencountering one another months in the future? Who knows, plenty of room for angst here.


CRM plot - Captured

Lance and y/c end up at the CRM together. It might be the first time they meet, or maybe there is pre-established lore! Regardless, this focuses on soldier training and such of the kind. Not a lot of thoughts here from me, but I will add more with time! I’ve been typing for too long!

I do have more thoughts but these are just little very vanilla basic plots!

Small note - these plots are also up on other locations! So don’t be super alarmed if you use other roleplay sites and see Lance, but do give me a nudge here if you think this is being stolen! Gracias!


Final notes!

If any of this grabs your attention, or you feel we may mesh vibe wise, do reach out!

So either comment for interest, or just private message me! :)

( In romance terms ) I primarily write mxm or mxnb / however for double ups I am happy to write mxf circumstantially

Regardless, thanks for reading and hope you’re having a great week! ( apologies this recruitment isn't very tidy! New to this formatting style )
