Response rate as of August 14th: spotty, inconsistent activity possible. Could be slow with days between posts or could have periods of quicker responses. I apologize to my partners that have had to wait so long for me to respond. Real life has been stressing me out and getting in the way of me posting.
Open slots: not starting any new RPs at the moment, unless we were already in the process of plotting one.
RP style: free-form prose, third-person, descriptive
Partner preferences: 18+; intermediate to advanced writing ability; free-form, third-person style; capable of multi-paragraph posts, when necessary; concise but descriptive writing; writing that is interesting to read (i.e. not monotonous, repetitive, lackluster, etc.); open communicator; friendly
(My preferences for a partner do not mean that I think I'm better than anyone else or that I think a certain type of RP is superior to others. I only want to make sure my partner and I are a good fit. It sucks to talk about a plot only to start the RP and see that our styles don't work together.)
Will do: NSFW, violence, gore, death
Won't do: Rape/non-con/dub-con, furry/anthro, pedophilia, incest, unconventional kinks (e.g. bloodplay, watersports, ddlg, etc.), script style RPs, texting style RPs
Preferred genres: action/adventure, romance, medieval/fantasy, angst, hurt/comfort, supernatural/horror
Themes I like: antiheroes/moral ambiguity, culture shock, adaptation to changing times, very different characters learning to understand each other's backgrounds, unrequited love/pining/characters being too dumb to realize their romantic feelings are mutual, characters who are really sweet but can be terrifying in some situations/"gentle giant" characters, monster hunting, social exclusion/a character being out of their element, mourning/loss and desire for revenge
Preferred pairing: M/F (het)
Prefer to play: male, 20+ y.o.
Willing to play: M/M, female character, younger (18 y.o.), older (35+ y.o.), F/F (never done this before, but I'm willing to try it), familial relationship (father/child, brother/sibling), friends with benefits (haven't RPed this before, but it would be fun to try)
Preferred method of contact: DM
Preferred platform(s): Skype, Discord (or other instant messenger; I'm completely new to Discord, but it looks pretty awesome, so I'd like to try it for RPs. It apparently has a 2000 character limit though, so that could be a problem, but it could still work with multiple messages per post, say a message per paragraph?) (I'm willing to try different platforms, but every time I've done so in the past, I replied much slower and less frequently, so just be aware of that. I'm hoping that will change with this site though.)
If there is certain content you aren't okay with that is listed in things I will do/prefer to do and you haven't specified this somewhere in your profile, please let me know before we start an RP.
(See below for more detail on the above points and info about me! I'd like to try and shorten everything below because it's a lot of text, but in the meantime, I've added subject headings to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for. Please familiarize yourself with my RP preferences before messaging me about RPing.)
Introduction
I like to think I'm pretty chill. I'm a uni student, psychology major. I like to stay holed up in my apartment daydreaming about fictional characters like a loser. I can be a little shy about RPing on public forums, so I may prefer DM for forum RPs, depending on the specific RP. I love video games and YouTube gaming (Jacksepticeye, Markiplier, Cryaotic). Most recently, I've been playing The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, PC Building Simulator, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I also enjoy writing and drawing, but I don't do those regularly. I have two cats, Tucker and Prince, and a Green Cheek Conure, who is my absolute baby. His name is Kirby, and I would die for him. I have a dry, absurdist, nihilistic sense of humor, which people sometimes take seriously and then think I'm really weird (I am really weird, but don't take my jokes seriously). Red foxes, geckos, frogs/toads, and cephalopods are some of my favorite animals. I think horses are majestic and cool but also horrifying and void of compassion for mankind.
RP Background
Now that I've introduced myself, I'll go over details about myself as an RPer. I've been RPing since I was like 10. I really enjoy it. I prefer playing male characters, and I prefer hetero pairings, but I'm open to all different genders and relationships. However, if I don't have muse for it, I probably will decline until I do. I tend to latch onto one idea or character and want to play with that until my muse is exhausted, at which point my brain will usually shift gears to something else (but I always come back to the first thing later; I just take breaks to work on other ideas sometimes). I generally prefer a romantic subplot because I'm a hopeless romantic. I do NSFW RP when it's appropriate for the plot and characters and if everyone involved is up for it (alternatively, I might be up to doing a PWP RP from time-to-time just for the heck of it). That being said, I prefer to RP only with people 18+, especially if the RP involves romance or NSFW content. If you're under 18, I don't want to RP those things with you. You might be able to pretend and hide your age, but a lot of times, it's easy to tell someone is under age (just a warning, if you think you can pretend to be older to RP with people who have the same preferences; no shade, just saying). If I feel like the person I'm RPing with is under age, I may ask, but regardless, I will trust my instincts and will drop the RP and/or block the other person. I really don't want to have to do that though, so please respect my preferences and boundaries.
Settings
I have been playing fantasy/medieval type RPs mainly for a while now, and it seems to be what my muse is into right now. However, I also play modern settings and like to set things in college environments (probably because that's my comfort zone, but still). AUs are another thing I do. For example, I might make a character a werewolf for an RP when they aren't normally that, or I might play a character in a modern setting that's really from a different era (not spontaneously; only if I have a plot idea and it's preplanned).
Plotting
Before RPing, I like to have brief descriptions of my partner's character. Appearance, personality, and skills/class are all that's usually necessary. I like to keep my characters' background info to myself until the plot calls for it because I feel like that's more interesting for my partner than just dumping all the info before the RP starts, and I welcome my partners to do the same. If I feel something is important to tell beforehand though, I will share it (and I expect the same from my partners). Typically, my partners and I come up with a basic plot idea and come up with ideas for the beginning, play those ideas out, and then come up with ideas for what's next, sort of like we're writing chapters and then pausing to decide what to do in the next chapter. I've tried to plan everything out beforehand, which never works for me because it's too restrictive. I've also tried just winging it, with mixed results, so planning things a little bit at a time as we go is what I prefer. I'm used to being the one who comes up with most of the ideas, but I love when my partners can contribute ideas, too, so when you do have ideas you want to discuss, please bring them up!
Writing Style/Preferences
I would describe my writing style as concise but with attention to detail. I don't write overly flowery, descriptive posts full of purple prose; I also don't write posts that are just the bare bones of what's happening. I include description in places to create imagery and set the scene, but I focus on character development and what's going on in that scene. I don't write too little, but I also try to keep things concise and only include what I think adds to the RP or moves the plot forward. In dialogue parts, my posts can be much shorter than in others (like 1-4 sentences or so). In other parts, it really depends on what's going on in the RP, but you can expect at least a paragraph per post. I don't have length requirements, but I do expect the post to be long enough to cover all pertinent details of your post and to move things forward. If you only post sentences or really long posts, we won't make good partners. I like posts that vary with what's happening in the RP and what the scene calls for. In other words, put effort into it but don't stretch things out just for the sake of stretching them out. Quality over quantity.
Rules for Content and Conduct
I don't do furry/anthro, feral, non-con, pedophilia, incest, or any unconventional kinks (if rape is part of the plot, I'm fine with it being mentioned that it happened, but I'm not okay with explicit detail or RPing the rape out). Please ask if you plan on including something that falls into one of those categories so I can tell you if I would be comfortable with that. I will do the same for you. I also don't do any godmodding, autohitting, instakills, meta-gaming, etc., so don't do those things, please. It goes without saying, but I expect my partner's character to be realistic (so, have flaws, have weaknesses, not be good at everything, not be overpowered, etc.).
Communication
If something I do in RP isn't okay with you, just tell me! My partner's comfort is most important to me. You'll find that I'm very reasonable. I might clarify if I feel like there was a misunderstanding, but I won't get angry or argue. I'm willing to edit my posts and talk about how to get around the thing, if necessary. I don't expect this to happen, but I put this here just in case.
In the same vein, if something my partner does makes me uncomfortable, I will speak up. If you're not okay with that, I don't think we would make good RP partners. I will also say that I may turn down an idea at any time. Don't take it personally. I have a very one-track muse, so if I'm not inspired by an idea, I'll turn it down or tell you I might be willing to try it later on. Also, if I come to dislike or lose interest in an RP I've already started, I will politely tell my partner that I want to quit that RP. I am understanding about these things, and I expect my partner to be too. If you are rude, just be aware, I will block you. I don't have patience for unnecessary rudeness or arguments.
Availability/Activity
I RP pretty regularly (like most days regularly). I am a full-time student and have a part-time job, and during the school year, I have homework on top of that, so don't expect me to be able to RP every day. My schedule may also be sporadic at times. I will let you know ahead of time if I am going to be unavailable for a long period of time. If I'm away for a few days, I'll also contact you so you know why I'm not around. In general though, I can make some time to RP every day, and I typically post very fast (which is why I prefer to use IM for RPs; it's easier, faster, and less intrusive for me, since I spend a lot of time working on other things on my comp while RPing at the same time).
Pets and Background Characters
I often give my characters pets that play minor roles in RPs, popping in on occasion for flavor. They are tools for character background and development, however, so they're not simply unnecessary accessories. For example, I might give a character a dog and include scenes of him interacting with the dog because it conveys info about his personality. If you would like to include pets/mounts too, have at it, but don't make them unnecessary dead weight! Practical purposes are also good reasons to include some things about animals. For example, in medieval fantasy, horses are going to be pretty typical. My characters usually have a horse in appropriate settings.
Additionally, I may add background characters temporarily if the RP calls for it (e.g. a waitress, if our characters are in a restaurant; minor villains, like bandits), and my partner is welcome to do so, too. Just make sure it's not done at inappropriate times, without reason, or for the sake of stroking your character's ego.
Secondary Characters
If it's part of the plot, villains, family members, friends, or other secondary characters may be used at appropriate times, when the plot calls for it. These plot points would be discussed ahead of time. These characters would play minor, secondary roles or roles that forward the plot/character arc of the main characters (i.e. my character and my partner's character). I don't do RPs with multiple main characters per RPer because it gets to be too complicated.
Violence/Gore
Depending on the RP, my writing in appropriate scenes can become explicitly gory. For example, I have a viking character, and I like to get a little gratuitous with descriptions of violence with that character. If I play a monster, as another example, I will probably also get gory on occasion. If that's something that would bother you, please bring it up beforehand. I always try to be tasteful with it though and don't add it for the sake of adding it. I usually do it for scenes where it would have the best impact for what's happening or if it complements some aspect of my character.
Themes/Secondary Genres
I like hurt/comfort (both physical and emotional) and pining in RPs, especially with characters that are going to become a pairing. One thing I love and do often in RPs is having my character get injured and need to be rescued and/or taken care of by my partner's character. My partner's have also done this commonly in different RPs. I always discuss this with my partner ahead of time and make sure that it's an element they would like adding to the RP.
As of right now, I only have one character profile on here. That's the character I have the most muse for at the time of writing this. Eventually, I'll add more characters. I just want to try this site out first. If I think of anything else to add, I'll add it here later. If you have any questions or need something clarified, just shoot me a message!
