nyctophilia (n.); the love of darkness or night - finding relaxation or comfort in the shadows.
Good day, my lovelies! I have finally managed it - my very own Interest Check! This is an Interest Check composed specifically for those craving a little excitement, a little darkness, and a little of the unknown. I will be stressing this throughout this entire thread - if you have a plot, or even a vague idea of a theme and want to share it with me, please do! I may seem like a picky little shit as you read this check, but I'm really just craving a good ol' 1x1 with someone.
Lets talk a little about me... I'm a 21-year-old Scottish degenerate that tends to interject inappropriate humour into situations at the worst of times. I see myself as being a high-casual to low-advanced writer and my posts tend to vary from 2,000 words to only a paragraph or two depending on my partner and the current status of the roleplay that I am taking part in. In case you can't already tell, I have a particular attraction to the darker aspects of roleplaying. I love dark realism, especially the kind that explores abnormality, or even insanity, through themes of romance, crime and drama. You like that too? Hit me up.
What I expect from you...
Okay, yeah I know rules are boring; but in my eyes they are a necessity. I'll try to keep this as light-hearted and positive as possible so that you aren't put off by my rambling.
- Commitment. There has been a countless number of 1x1's that I have taken part in and been left wondering why my partner isn't replying. Yeah, I get it, sometimes the spark just fizzles out and dies - but it is common courtesy to let me know if you're losing interest. Who knows? We could even completely start again, or just go our separate ways as friends.
- Characters. I am not one to be picky when it comes to what character(s) I play, however, I would like to express the fact that I find I am more comfortable in playing female characters when it comes to the kind of complex, intriguing plots I have in mind. Don't let that put you off - I am completely open to play male characters, I just may not be as skilled at roleplaying as them as I would female.
- Romance. Please please please do not message me asking for a lovey-dovey story full of rainbows and happy endings because that is pretty much the opposite of what I am looking for. Yes, I am certainly interested in romance being a factor of our roleplay, but I want to explore real relationships with heartbreak, drama and possibly some psychological abuse thrown in too.
- Pretty things. This is not quite a rule, more of a preference of mine. I love it when a post or a character sheet looks nice. Whether everything is colour coded, involves gif's or fancy fonts, or is just not your typical drab wall of text; it will most definitely show me that you're willing to make an effort into roleplaying and at least have a sense of what you're doing.

↳ On that note, I expect all characters that are a part of this experience to be well-thought out and actually contributing to the story. One of my biggest pet peeves is a helpless character - I am not interested in those submissive ragdoll personas that bend to the 'dominant' character's every need. They are boring, predictable and tend to be pretty annoying.

Right, after me going on and on about expectations and roleplaying, here's the bit where you discover that I have no idea what I'm even looking for. Just kidding. I think you've figured out that I like the weird dark stuff. For the time being, however, I do not have an abundance of specific plots in mind for us to choose from. I would much rather you messaged me, told me what you're up for and for us to work it out from there. I do, on the other hand, have a list of fandoms that I enjoy which might provide for you a vague idea of what I'm looking for:
Well... I think that's it for now. If you're in any way interested in roleplaying with me, then shoot me a PM! I'd prefer it if you didn't reply below, just because I will most likely not see it. Cheerio!
