Residing within my early 30s.

I role-play on RPR and through Discord (preference order).

I am currently open to DnD 5e tabletop campaigns (play-by-post).

All continuities are separate unless explicitly stated.


Offline Commitments
From January to May, September to mid-December, and mid-January to May, I am currently working/commuting 12 and a half hours a week, plus just under 3 hours commute per day, during term time. I do note-taking for three students (two in-person, one remote). I love the job. I get to immerse myself within learning and help someone out at the same time. However, it does take up a lot of my week-time and there are likely to be days where I get home from work drained, with little to no drive to role-play. Please bear with me.

For the rest of the year, during summer I do exam invigilation for a month and then the rest of the time, I work from home doing proofreading and copy-editing. I essentially alternate between four jobs over the course of the average year. Freelance life!

In short? RL comes first.

I do not want RP to feel like an obligation for anyone. It should be fun!


Posting
I try to reply to role-playing threads at least every 1 - 4 days, up to a week, depending on the pace of the role-play. I post at minimum over 10 lines and my average is around 1 - 2 paragraphs. I can comfortably post more depending on the content of the storyline and how many people are involved. I write in the third person, past tense only.

I am sometimes delayed regarding posting at the pace I prefer to hold myself to due to my main job, which involves deadlines. There are quiet weeks which leave a lot of time for RP and weeks where I do very little other than maintaining myself (aka sleeping, eating, away-from-laptop breaks) and working.


Preferences
I have a strong preference for low technology / medium - high fantasy settings but I am willing to consider sci-fi and post-apocalyptic if the story is particularly good and if I have a character idea that fits.


NSFW
I am comfortable with gore, violence and horror themes, so long as it is appropriate to the setting and plot, rather than being thrown in just for the sake of being contrary.

I have no issue with explicit sex or sexual acts but I will not engineer a role-play deliberately based around them, nor will I tailor situations and settings so then it happens. Character chemistry and plot is important.

I will always respect the comfort zone of my role-playing partner(s). This means that I am comfortable employing the Fade-to-Black and 'Let's not and say we did' mechanics where the preference for such is raised.


Note
I will not change my characters. If they don't fit, they don't fit and that's fine. I am not going to make my shy laboratory experiment bold and confident, nor am I am going to make my brooding, introverted mage outgoing and the life of a party, for example. While change is possible through long-term role-play, there is an extent to which this would happen and the pace would be realistic.

IC is IC, OOC is OOC. I am strict about maintaining that distinction and have no tolerance for IC drama taken OOC or vice versa. Haven't got the time or patience for it. Play nicely.
