Greetings and salutations all. I am rather new here and I am looking one on one plays. I've been playing for some time now in various formats and places, most of it was mainly was one on one as well. Since I have some already established characters, I figured that posting them would help garner some interest. Generally I'd like to play one of them, but making a new character is not entirely out of the question. What I'm looking for and enjoy is posted down below.
- I prefer casual writing, to me that typically means 1-3 paragraphs on average, It can depend on the scene and what's happened in play. I do not write one line replies at all. All I ask from partners is that they try to match with in the best of their ability.
-Decent grammar, please. While I am not perfect myself, but I expect most to know when to capitalize proper nouns and use basic punctuation. Semi colons are such nasty things anyways; the rules for using one can be confusing.
-No eRP from me, romance can be fine as a subtext though. Admittedly I'm a rather huge yuri fan!
-Violence and fighting are fine with me, so long as it is with in reason. No need to be gratuitous with it.
- I love the supernatural, paranormal and twists on established lore. Vampires, werewolves, aliens, and mythical items are always loved!
- Another thing I love is detectives and mystery solving. Hehe, as if posting two detectives weren't evident enough.
-I understand people have busy scheduled and role playing is done for leisure and enjoyment. Seeing that, I don't hold up rigid standards for when to post. To me a post a week is truly fine.
Madison Thomas
From humble beginnings with great aspirations
M adison had an average childhood, there were no traumas in her life and both her parents were loving to her. She grew up in a common middle class setting, her father a busy and hard worker as a machinist, and her mother as a simple home maker. When little she often played with the boys who lived near her. Playing frequently with them to find any adventure and trouble that could be found until the street lamps came on. It was seldom that she played with girls her own age when young. In her own words she said. "Tea parties are too prissy!".
Those long hours of play and pretend helped Madison shape and discover her own interests. A particular favourite was always playing detective. Typically they knocked on neighbours doors, and asked if they had anything that needed to be solved. Most adults asked them to do menial things such as helping them find their cat that was set out for the night, help them find an object they misplaced, or even deliver important "evidence" (which turned out to actually just be their mail). It became a small obsession of hers, she was absolutely enamoured over the idea of detectives. A hero of logic, and a person who always solved the issues of others and always caught the culprit. At one point she even forced her father to read her bed time stories about Sherlock Holmes, who later became a large inspiration to her
One day, her days of pretend detective brushed close with reality. A neighbour was recently robbed in the dead of night, the victim of petty theft at best. When the children came upon the crime scene, they nearly harassed the detective and officers until they shared what they knew. It seemed they had most of the pieces placed together, yet they were stumped over one aspect. A window had broken at the side of the house, and there was a large puddle under it from the recent rain. Obviously this had to be the entry point for the thief, yet there wasn't a trace of muddy prints in the house. It was then that Madison spoke up, perhaps all those hours of reading and pretending to be a detective making her quite astute. "That can't be right mister!" she exclaimed while pointing to the puddle in front of the broken window, a shimmer of reflected light hinting her to the glass in laid in the mud, an easy thing to be missed. "If the bad guy broke in, then the glass would be inside and not outside! There's paving stones at the back too, he could have hopped along them and tried not to touch the ground, it's a fun game!" she said to them. Much to their surprise, her logic made sense, and thanks to that they shifted their focus. After another inspection, what seemed bizarre became all too clear after another piece of evidence came to light; a reversed lock. The logical conclusion was in the dead of night, the thief entered through the back door. carefully hopping along the stones in the back to avoid any mud getting on their shoes they entered , the reversed lock making it easy to enter for any prospective robber. After they took their stolen goods and tried to exit, they became stuck in the very house they robbed, their only exit a window that they took out in haste. That crucial insight Madison gave earning the respect of some of the force, and they decided to thank her for it. A few days after the case was solved, she received an honorary private eye badge, making her the envy of every boy she knew for sometime.
It was that very inciting moment that she knew what she wanted to be, she had her first taste of real detective work. The thrill and feeling of pride after solving a mystery something exhilarating, and something she wanted to feel again. Yet it was here that Madison encountered her first hurdle, growing up her grades were never great. In police academy, this trend seemed to follow her, she did not particularly excel; though you couldn't say she did horribly either. As her instructor said about her once to another "She doesn't inspire much confidence at times, but, there is strikes of lightning with her. That girl has an astute eye". Yet, her determination of her goal was still strong, never becoming too deterred. She tried hard, each failure to her only a lesson to be learned from and something to strengthen herself with. She listened to her instructors, their guidance helping her shape and hone her senses. With hard work and many years of toil, that childhood dream became a reality. She became a detective, and her private office was open for business!
Being a beginner detective is hard though, even if she hasn't lost that youthful determination times can be rather hard. Its seldom that any very big cases come to her private firm. The very fun and tough nuts to crack that make her look like a hero. For this beginner detective, its mostly collecting evidence or even a thorough print dusting. Seeing as these kinds of jobs are rather menial, they hardly pay much and leave her slightly impoverished. Though, who knows, perhaps one day that seemingly menial job that she was brought in for will turn in to a case where she was once more called the hero like in her youth.
Personality
Elementary!
As her instructor once said about her, Madison isn't one that inspires confidence in her field. She can do the tasks that her work requires, such as dusting for fingerprints, or combing a scene for evidence well. Rather, it is her personalty that makes others doubt her. That youthful belief of "anything is possible" still very much alive with in her and making her rather naive at times even for her own age. She's bubbly and hyperactive, many say it seems like her mind is moving too fast for her mouth to ever keep up. Often speaking in fragments, and her sentences having strange links that connect them together. Truthfully, it makes her look rather foolish at times, her saving grace that astute eye she has. Yet that hasn't always been very consistent. Socially, she can be rather friendly and has been known to approach strangers to herself to talk to. The hours of talking to witnesses making her very comfortable doing so. It's known she can be impulsive as well, often doing things on a whim or merely because they seemed interesting at the time. perhaps her childhood never really left her.
