Ok, before I launch into the potential RP, a little about me:

My availability is extremely inconsistent. What this doesn't mean: I'm never on. I lose interest after a week and never come back.

What this does mean. I will say I will be on twice a week. That may be twice on consecutive days, the next time Monday and Sunday. I may be on 5 times one week, 6 the next, 2 the next.

What this means about you: if you have no patience, find an RP elsewhere so that we don't waste each other's time. I cannot stress this enough. Have. Patience.

I'm not going anywhere. My RPs however, are.

I'm very open to characters and ideas and I generally have vague arcs and do not have a designated plan for my RPs. I like open world RPs where the players make the RP happen through their characters. Sometimes, I may have a large plot point, but it's not constant.

I reserve the right to remove people from my RPs. This is something I don't think I've done (asterisk!) but I always throw it out there. Some times, ideas and styles clash, and it's mainly a problem when one party isn't willing to accommodate. When there's a problem and it doesn't solve itself, basically, I'm reserving the right to remove the problem.

My RPs are..."slow" in a sense. I do not create RP to cater to an individuals need for "constant cool stuff, gun fights, explosions and zombies!" This isn't an Xbox game.

I focus on character interactions and development. I try to create situations that challenge characters to change or have their ideals challenged. I'm the kind of person who thinks that 2 characters trapped in a room, unable to leave for whatever reason, is interesting. They talk. Open up. Bond. Grow resentful. Kill one another for resources. Hell, who knows? I don't!

So that's me in a nutshell. I seem rigid, and I can be, but, I'm not. I'm just rough around the edges.

Oh, last thing. I expect a lot out of you. Well, a lot in my own mind. I expect time and thought to be put into your character and the RP. That's a lot to me because, in my world, my time, and my thoughts are worth a shit ton. I don't want you wasting yours, and I don't want to waste mine. I expect some form of commitment. It's pretty minor (RP, be nice, and don't leave the RP for a shitty reason), but it's a commitment a lot of players cannot fulfill.

Last. If you are the person who gets all excited, spends time and creates a character, drops them into the world, and then....doesn't know what to do, and quits...then again. Please go elsewhere.

Ok. So. Where was I? Oh, the RP.

This takes place in the Last of Us world. However, it happens well before the video game and will have zero to do with anything in any of the games. Things that happen in the world (death, cordyceps, fireflies) may be in the game.

This RP will take place about 12 or 13 years after the outbreaks took their massive toll on the United States and the world. It will take place in a fictional city of Blue Valley in Arizona. Our chars, or at least some of them depending on the specifics, will have something to do with smuggling things in and out of the city.

This RP will contain mature content including vulgarity, violence, blood, sex and whatever else, but of course, nothing that violates any rules set forth by this site.

If you're interested, please let me know. I hope that anyone who reads this has a great, AND SAFE, holiday weekend.

Interested. I love The Last of Us, so a role play set in that universe should be fun.

I'm intrigued! I haven't actually played The Last Of Us yet, but I'm assuming since we're going non-canon, as long as I read up on it I should be okay?

AZSETH!!! My gosh, how have you been?

I am still partial with you. I'll join your next RP.

Sorry I didn't make good on my promise to join you in the other site though. I won't make any excuses, I saw how your RP looked like there (has only you and one other guy, no activity, deserted) and was discouraged.

But this time around, I'm all for this!

There is no OOC yet. Had a busy holiday followed by bronchitis, so I'm a bit tired and drugged up.

I am working on the OOC though, as I type this, so thanks for the patience.

Dark, what's up?! Don't worry. That other RP/site didn't work out because of a lot of...life changes. I had to focus a the vast majority of my time elsewhere, and like you said, the lack of interest by others didn't help.

Stay tuned kiddos.

I wanted to point something out to the future players and RPers in general. I've made a few comments about this a few other times, and I feel it's important. It's something I kind of call mundane writer's block.

Every once in a while, a lot more common in my eyes, players get what they think is writer's block, and their interests wither away. While I am not saying this never happens, this is what I THINK happens more often than not:

People want to make every post the best. They lose track of posting to make the ENTIRE story move. Not every post has to be dynamic, mind blowing, riveting, or revealing.

Sometimes, my player just has to go run through the damn door. Period. No explosions. No person to save. No dramatic wounds.

Sometimes a player needs to just nod their head. Not reveal something, or have some important flashback.

Keep that in mind. Sometimes, if you are stuck and don't know what to have your character do...

JUST HAVE THEM MOVE THE SCENE FORWARD!!!

Thanks all.
