Welcome to Valhöll, Einherjar. This is my domain - Odin, the Aldafadr - and where I bid you welcome. As it is known, Odin is a traveler, shape-shifter, a crafty man, wise though ever searching for more wisdom. This reflects through my writing - I am capable, but I know I can improve. Hence, I always seek to roleplay with partners that can match or even go above my own writing capabilities. After all failure is the best lesson. I am constantly reading other roleplays - both to analyze IC posts for ideas on prose, character building, and good IC coding, as well as to analyze OOC content on how to organize an RP, make it appealing and aesthetically pleasing. Note that this does not mean I am perfect at it - I am but a humble student on the art of roleplaying, so if you feel improvements can be made where ever, I am open to your ideas. I might not agree, but I will certainly listen and offer my own views.





Odin is a 21 year old male from the Netherlands (GMT+1) who writes on Roleplayerguild as a past-time activity. He enjoys the interaction of characters - writing something and seeing how the other character reacts to it. He has been a part of Roleplayerguild for approximately five years, and has roleplayed since approximately 7 years. Despite this he views himself as an amateur - capable or not, ultimately there will be others that do things differently and possibly better. So.. he is never done learning. Despite how he carries himself, he can be friendly if he chooses to be. He has a massive God complex - who else would take on names such as 'Buddha' and 'Odin' other than him?

For all his wisdom, Odin only knows a little bit about a great many things, and knows a great many things about little subjects. However, what he does know, he knows it well. As he is a student of Safety and Security Management studies, he is quite proficient in subjects such as criminology, intelligence, spatial design in the eye of security, and cognitive adaptations for the purpose of crime prevention. He is not against sharing his opinions, but knows that unwise men best shut their mouth among wiser. This follows the sayings of the High One, Odin himself;



However, despite this, he is primarily occupied with historical roleplays. His tastes are eclectic and whimsical, and he will typically 'roleplay anything.' But somehow he always drifts back to historical roleplays.

What is important to him in a roleplay is grey characters - Odin believes highly in a narrativist view of everything. Everything is relative and this is represented in all characters - according to Odin, every writer must show some semblance of narrativist understanding. Every character has their own truths that are separate from objective truths - two sides of a war will know different things to be 'true' even if they are not true in the objective truth that we as omniscient GM's have.

Something else that is important is a willingness to accept that fiction is separate reality, meaning to say, do not project the RP onto yourself and become one of those creepy people. Having strange things you want to write is one thing, wanting them to be reality for you is another.





At the moment I am primarily interested in doing historical roleplays - whether it is set in our own world or a different alternate universe is irrelevant to me right now, I simply want to write something historical. Think Game of Thrones meets costume drama. I thoroughly enjoy gritty and realistic settings, though am not opposed to mild fantasy elements. Before I let you guys in on my preferred settings and so forth, I will write out some pointers first. Please read them. I have gone through 50% of the forum population already, and I know people don't read these but for your own sake do read them. If you do not read them, I will aggressively ignore you, drop you without telling you, or simply vanish. You have been warned.

















Those marked with bold are currently enjoying my attention and will be preferred. Roles in italic are mine - if neither is italicized, I'll play either. Do note: this list is not all inclusive and if you have ideas that fall outside of these settings, you can still pitch them to me.

my lord

this is one of the edgiest interest checks of all time
