Yo~
I'm relatively friendly writer that generally doesnt have much time to do anything outside of... well... life. I am fresh out of the uni grind and onto the med personnel grind, so I'm trying my best to complete some semblance of adulthood. Despite that, I do enjoy a good, high detail, long term roleplay. In fact, I practically live for plots that give me something to sink my teeth into.
My roleplay moto is "Quality before Quantity, and Quality before Frequency". I put my full effort into every post I write, which tends to make my responses limited, if not fluctuating in frequency. I typically give anywhere from 400-1000 words in past tense, third person limited. I will write more if I'm really into it or I'm describing something like a new location.
My characters are full-bodied and deep-- I don't play around with my character development even if they are made for fun. Each one of my guys has been under ongoing character development for at least 3 years (several have been active for over a decade). If that isn't enough to show that I'm serious, I don't know what to tell ya.
Now, when speaking about genres, let's play it safe. While I can skew elements of practically anything into my plots, I am the biggest fan of supernatural, mystery, drama, horror, and (yes) romances. Regardless of the genre, I need--
A Slower-Paced Plot
This refers to the general speed of the overall plot. There will be slow and fast parts in each plot, but I like a steadier/slower plot for the sake of detail. The only exception is if it's a thriller and it's supposed to be fast. I usually can't keep up with those, though, so plot-pitcher's discretion advised.
Actual Conflict
We are essentially dropping two people into a scene and saying "okay, now talk and get along"-- this works fine in daycare, but not so much with adults. Most people need a reason to be in the same space with another person. Having a goal for them work together on gives a reason for them to converse and bond. Any type of conflict and motivation is okay, but I prefer multiple arcs with different conflicts/themes that try our characters' selves as well as their relationship-- be it platonic, romantic, or sexual. The more arcs we can make up, the longer our plot is going to be.
Multiple Characters
This is an opportunity to bring in other characters for shits and giggles. These character don't necessarily have to be full time, either. All of my characters have a character network-- their friends and family (and even them) regularly end up in a plot that has nothing to do with them. Your coworker might just be Adalai's best friend or Zarias' half-adopted step-sister's niece. Toren could be that annoying customer who comes in once and throws a fit. After you clean up Toren's mess and make a well-deserved rant about his obnoxiousness, you could find yourself having Ares' uncle as your cabbie after a bar night-- and it means nothing and impacts nothing. I encourage you to do the same, since repeating characters like this helps you develop them without making them center focus. Sometimes, characters just work better in the background.
Dark Elements
Gore and blood are only two of many dark elements-- let's go psychological. Let's talk abuse, depression, death, grief, crime, and revenge. I enjoy reading and writing about the intense and vast array of emotions a person can go through-- because the good stuff is that much sweeter when it's paired with the bad. These themes don't have to take center stage, but it's a nice touch to sneak in because life isn't always sunshine and lollipops. Dark elements can be added without having the entire plot careen into a pit of pain and suffering... unless you're into that.
Slow Burn Romance
I am a fan of having romantic sub-plots, but that doesn't mean that we won't be putting effort into it. If romance is involved, I want to drag it out and give the pairing time to actually figure one another out. If they fall in love, its because there's something that actually makes it happen-- they are compatible in some way. Attraction can happen instantly sometimes, but that doesn't mean intimacy happens at the same pace... at least, not tangible and genuine intimacy. If I have my way, it should take our characters in-plot weeks, maybe months, to KISS, let alone anything else. As for smut/sexual content, I am more than happy to write it out in detail or fade to black-- the only requirement is that it needs to feel satisfying and built up to. If you want a "love at first sight" plot, you better be ready to have me drag it out and put up roadblocks because life is full of them.
Interested? Hit me up with an idea. If I come to you, I'll go nuts with the plot planning. Join me and let's make this one hell of a ride!
Extras!
Me + Pictures:
I have very mixed feelings towards real-life pictures, specifically profile pictures of my characters. To me, the visual image of a person carries more than "this is what they look like": it carries mannerisms and both past and present habits among half a dozen other things that we take for granted when we look at others. I have tried to design faceclaims for quite a few of them (Euan and Zaide both had realistic faceclaims at one point), but they grew out of them and no longer fit what they entitle-- they're too distinct in my head for me to slap a face on them and say "yeah, here you go" because I see the wrinkles that don't exist on that face or the chewed-up nails that came from years of worrying: those things can't easily be replicated in one person or drawing unless it's deliberately made for that person.
I am open to the idea of creating drawings to symbolize them, but I have not found an artist whose style I like nor do I have the talent to do it myself... perhaps someday. Until then, I am opting for descriptions and words. I am good at imagery, so I'll use it to put what I'm seeing in your head. If it's not perfect, it's as close as I can get and it might actually be better... and I'm okay with that.
