    [All Levels] Looking for obscure things~!

    Hi there! You can call me Zach, or, well, anything, really. I'm a male, but I am ridiculously flexible with literally anything -- I endeavor to make my comfort zone as wide as possible. I really do mean ridiculously so; I'll do all sorts of RPs, take all sorts of partners, and come up with all sorts of dumb, weird ideas. Although it may not seem like it, I really can keep up with all kinds of roleplays from free to advanced. But above everything else, I appreciate originality, or at least scarcity of ideas. I can go anywhere and get a thud-and-blunder medieval fantasy RP, but where can I really get a good roleplay with an army of the undead led by a fearsome six-fingered pirate who sheds poison tears?

    Right now, I'm craving something influenced, in any way, by fantastical, nautical swashbuckler stories such as Sinbad, Monkey Island, Peter Pan, On Stranger Tides, or even the Odyssey. I'm ridiculously well-read on swashbucklers, in fact, from Captain Blood to Muppet Treasure Island. It's mostly because I love a good romantic, adventurous setting with heavy themes of exploration and discovery; "a silver suns perches on a golden horizon as the charming hero sets off toward a new destination, a new adventure in another port."
    I would always, without fail, appreciate an RP based on point-and-click adventure games like Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, or even Deponia. If you know one and want to present it to me, I'll definitely give it a go if I'm not aware of it already! =D
    I love old cartoons and animation, and Marx Brothers comedies. Although slapstick doesn't translate well to a literary medium, surrealism, wordplay, and gags of that sort definitely do. I would kill for an RP with nonstop snark and humor.
    Lastly, I would love for you to suggest, suggest, suggest~! =D We'll chat a bit and keep it cool.

    Because I love to use it whilst planning, I'm also available on AIM!: mr.quin
    Send me a private message, post here, send an IM, whatever is cool with me. Hope to hear back from someone. =D
    Oh, and don't be afraid to talk to me! XD It's a hobby I do in my free time, not a job interview or anything.

    I have, at the very least, played Monkey Island and have read the Odyssey, and loved them both. Anyway, a nautical/pirate type roleplay would be lovely, and we could definitely have a lot of fun with that sort of setting.

    Oh, for sure! I love the rich mythology Monkey Island has built, even if it's pretty largely comedic. Plus, the way they combine voodoo and piracy just produces this great atmosphere! But yeah, I'd love to RP with you. =D Wanna shoot me a PM or just continue talking on this thread, or hit me up on AIM or what?

    Sounds great! I don't know how much by way of humor I can provide, but snarkiness and sarcasm are right in my ball pocket. That is, if you're interested.

    I'm building up a universe for one of my stories and i would love it if I can get a trial run with you.

    It would be about two young adventure seeker (they have opposing personalities, but still best friends.) best friends in this world getting ready to set out on a series of great adventures. I know much of the world already, mythology, creatures, and all that. In any case the story would start of in their small town and somehow they manage to get themselves in trouble be part of the pirate group.
    At the moment we will be moving to a new house wherein I may not have internet connection of any form. I will still be able to go online whenever I go to school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays because they have free internet, but the problem is they won't allow me to access this site for some reason.

    One of my current ideas on how to access this site was for me to make use of the public library's internet, but even that may be tricky. I had an idea was that someone from an RP send me the posts made on the RP via email and I reply to them for that said person to post for me, but that would be taxing and I cannot impose that task to someone unless they volunteer. I came up with the compromise that maybe someone can send me just the details of what has happened and I can reply to them in short posts if again that's fine with the other person involved. As for the advanced RP's seeing as the short reply's won't really do justice to the story If it's okay with any of you then I hope that the idea of sending the individual posts would be okay.

    If any on you who are in the RP with me has the time to spare then I will be most happy if any of you wish to volunteer, but if not then I will be okay with what decision you guys make.

    To my 1x1 and own RP's here is what's going to happen. For the 1x1 if it's okay we can continue the story vie email as long as you want or until the arc ends with dignity. For my own RP I have already mentioned how the 1st arc should go and be followed so please feel free to continue that until the arc ends afterwars it is all up to you what happens and to the person who I will ask to be in charge after the arc ends if you guys want to continue the story.

    As for now this is still all just conjecture seeing as that the person who will decide to get a home internet connection is not me. However I have with confidence that for at least a few weeks going onto months we will not have internet connection. Therefore if I disappear then please treat the characters I have made kindly and if possible kill them off with respect or throw the in the freezer until my eventual return.

    Sorry about the wait!

    Hmm, not sure! You'll have to tell me much more about what you've got in mind for the setting before we begin, but so far it sounds right up my alley. Would you prefer to chat on AIM or PM me to continue this conversation?
