Forums » Introductions » Looking for active, openminded RP-partners

Well, here I am... and still a bit clueless even despite having been around RPing ever since Myspace times....- which maybe still might mean something to some of you. Otherwise, it surely will reveal me to be a pretty old fart ;P
Anyhow.. after the RP page I have been using for years now seems to have dried out when it comes to serious, literate, openminded and friendly RPers, I followed the advice of friend overe there and thought I´d give it a try here.

Currently I got one character I RP actively - over there.. and whom I would love to introduce here: Hou Xin (and yeah, noob-me totally took the name as a player, too.. ;P)

Anyhow, as this is not about me but my characters, first of all some basic information about the bloke I am trying to write more or less properly...
Hou Xin is an Original Character
He is in fact inspired by at least four different characters from Chinese/Japanese Fantasy/Action Movies: General Huo Xin (Painted Skin2) who also is responsible for the charactername, Wentai (Huan Mulan), Zaitochi (Zaitochi), Hua Bayi (Mojin).
He is a mix of all of them plus my own ideas, and I focus on different aspects and characteristics depending on the era and verse I set him up in.

In order to make him adjustable to as many verses as possible I decided to provide just some general ideas when it comes to his background and possible biography.
You´ll notice that there are different approaches for different verses focusing on different traits and features.
They are not set in stone though and should cover most of the rather manifold settings and verses I can see this character in... - and I am always open to even more.

Creativity is a huge, endlessly streaming source if you allow it to flow and run freely.

Possible verses may range from classical High Fantasy to Urban Fantasy (including equally European and Chinese/Asian myths and legends) to settings in a more strictly historical context...
And he also can be fit into a lot of contemporary settings like treasure/monster/demon hunting, crime, detective stories, dystopian...
... whatever seems at least the tiniest bit plausible, bring it on.

Further - I am a multible SL RPer.
Meaning: all my storylines are individual adventures and stories - none are interlinked. No action or relationship happening in one SL is influencing any other.

Anyhow, I am looking foward to getting in contact with whomever is interested in writing with me and Hou Xin
Greetings so far

Thank you so much! :D - well, I am still bumbling around like an idiot trying to get a hang on how this page works... but I guess sooner or later I´ll get it and the dynamics which might help to establish connections and SLs. 0o
And I am more than glad that at least I got you to cling to ;D
Hello HouXin

welcome to the RPR site.

For newcomers it is always good to check the "Getting started" forum in the Help section.

You can ask questions in the main chatroom, "Smalltalk" forum or directly to our awesome moderators.

If you would like to RP on a fantasy, check the "looking for RP" forum for plots that are looking for players else you can add an entry to meet your preferences and post about your character and ideas you would like to try out

Above all, have fun!

Thank you for the greetings Tusitala2017 :)

I gladly take your advice and will check out the forum asap - which might be tomorrow, as being located in Central Europe midnight is closing in and bed´s calling.

However, I am really looking foward to dive in deeper into this page :)
Welcome, Xin, welcome indeed to RPR. I recommend the "Help" section to familiarize yourself a bit with the site and trying out the other tabs at the top of every page. Believe me, you visit them all, you know 70% of what there is to know about RPR.

Hi hou. Hello and welcome to RPR.
I really only had to take a look at your character before I decided that I had to send you a friend request.

I love roleplaying those that you have mentioned in your introduction, and I am especially interested when you mentioned Eastern/Chinese myths ^^ I really hope I can get to roleplay with you in the future~ when I have an actually good plot first hahaa

Anyways, welcome to RPR and I hope you would have a great time here!

I´d love to plot with you and one of your characters - whomever you can see fit into a possible plot we can come up with! Thank you for reaching out btw. :)
