Tsukune's Roleplay Cafe [CLOSED]

(Updated as of 2016/01/05)

SHOP CLOSED. NOT ACCEPTING PARTNERS AT THE MOMENT.

---

"Welcome to Tsukune's Roleplay Cafe, and bless your curious little soul."

As you enter this shifty-looking shop, you are greeted by a masked waiter. He shows you to an empty table and hands you a menu in black:

About the Owner

Username here is Tsukune, but I'm mostly known as Tsubasa in other parts of cyberspace. You may call me Tsu.

High-casual to advanced roleplayer who has about 3-4 years of experience on/off. Before RPing I have some decent writing skills honed from writing fanfics and original novels alike.
I can do mid-casual on request; or if I'm having writer's block.

I have played male and female characters before - so far no one has any major issues with how I portray the two sexes, I can safely say I'm able to play both genders. Also, I have zero interest in your real gender - all I care about is your character(s)' gender as long as you can play your characters well, gender doesn't really matter, right?

Paring wise, MxF for romantic relationship; platonic for MxM and FxF, only fluff or humor/teasing or one-sided crush (you play the character who likes mine but my character isn't returning the feelings) if you really want to go down the gutter because I can't play homo realistically.
I'm also fine with sibling-complexes, but let me know if you're uncomfortable with incest.

Currently only interested in 1x1 or small group (max foursome) RPs.

For fandoms I'll only play OCs. I don't want to be constantly paranoid about the possible danger of going out of character every time it's my turn to post something, and that anxiety will eventually kill all the excitement I originally had for the RP. Not that I'm not capable of playing canon characters, but it will be on a case-by-case basis.

English isn't my first language but I do make efforts to proofread my posts, even backdated ones. Please pardon the occasional typos if I missed them out during the editing.

Posting frequency: my schedule is pretty erratic, so about 1-2 posts per week; do expect longer delays if my real life decides to torture me more than it should. If you see me online often, that's because I'm on the phone checking PMs and OOCs. I'm not going to - and I will never - type out an entire IC on a damned mobile.
My timezone is GMT +8, so if I'm not online I'm most likely in bed - or if I have last-minute deadlines, I'll be at the workspace battlefield.

I'm a sucker for humor - from silly puns to dark sarcasm, so feel free to strike up random chats with me in the OOCs or PMs. I mean, RPing is supposed to be fun, right? It's boring if the OOC is as business-like and serious as *insert anything you can think of here* RL...

What I'm Looking for in My Partner

I'll only roleplay through threads - most preferred because it's more organized - plus in the past when I tried using PMs it's a total mess. Strictly no IMs such as Skype, etc.

I don't ask for - and I don't need to know - your true age. To me, the numerical value of your age isn't a definite indicator of your maturity level: a 12-year-old who can take constructive criticism with grace and gratitude is definitely more mature than a 30-year-old who bites back with egoistic bitterness.
I have no problems with violence/gore and profanity, but nothing over the top like having the character to swear at practically everyone and everything every single time. However, I'm not fond of sex - no I'm not squeamish about it and I am already of age, but I see this as fan service and serves very little to no purpose in plot and character development. If there is really a serious need to go that far, fade to black - this is non-negotiable.

What you give me is what I'll give you - I don't need you to return my 6-paragraph post with the same length, but at least I expect you to write a decent IC with enough information for me to work on my next post. Of course, if you're those who can write like a book I'll welcome you with a big hug! If needed, do be prepared to do lots of collaborative writing. I do not entertain one-liners and chatspeak.

I'm not a language Nazi - everyone makes mistakes - but that doesn't mean you can dump me with horrendous writing so bad that it can burn my eyes, or simply look like random gibberish to me. I do not appreciate wasting my precious time trying to decipher your wall of typos when it's your job to clean that up. I like roleplayers who are meticulous and take pride in their own writing; if you feel that I'm being overly demanding with regards to this, then I'm sorry to say I'm not a suitable candidate to roleplay with you.

Contribute and communicate - it takes two hands to clap. I know my brain can be wacky enough to cook up all sorts of weird plot ideas, but I don't want the RP to be a one-person show. I'm hoping to have long-term partners to collaborate with not just one, but many more future projects together.
It's very important to iron out any misunderstandings before they snowball to something disastrous - the last thing I need is a nasty fallout and part ways with a sour aftertaste.

I don't expect speedy responses from you - we all have a real life to deal with, like it or not, and I myself am snail-slow at replying - but if you're kind enough to pop me a message if you're going to be away battling against reality, I'll also do the same to you. If you disappear for more than a month, I shall assume that you're no longer interested in the RP and I reserve the rights to reboot my plot ideas with other players instead.

For 1x1s, please be comfortable to do doubling (max 2 characters for each of us) and be prepared for an army of NPCs to help push the RP forward.

As you reach the end of the menu, your eyes pause at the curvy, golden letters at the foot of the last page:

Please pay the bill (either drop me a PM or @mention me here) by indicating the roleplay idea/setting /genre you want to partake and include a sample of your IC writing. Please also remember to acknowledge that you have read through the black menu.

If you feel that you still do not have what it takes, or that we are simply as different as night and day, thank you for reading this far and I wish you all the best in search for the partner(s) you've been looking for.

The waiter now passes you two other menus - red and white - and awaits your first/next order...

RED MENU - PLOT IDEAS

FANDOM

God Eater 2: Burst Impact

(God Eater 2: Rage Burst | 1x1, 3 or 4-some | High-Casual to Advanced)

In an alternate time from the original game story, Rachel Claudius has recruited YC/MC to join the Blood team, with a dark intention to use YC/MC as the Singularity in her apocalypse plan. YC/MC is a member sent by the Far East Branch to infiltrate Friar under orders from Paylor Sakaki, to find out Rachel's true goal. YC and MC will join forces to stop Rachel from implementing the Devouring Apocalypse.

Hogwarts of the New Generation: the Muggle Rebellion

(Harry Potter series | Double 1x1 or 4-some | High-Casual to Advanced)

"When Voldie dies, the muggles strike back..."

Eighteen years has passed since the Great War at Hogwarts against Voldemort and his Death Eaters, with the good triumphed over the evil, led by Harry Potter and his two closest friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The time of peace that the wizarding world yearned for has finally come...

In an alternate reality set in the year of 2015 parallel to the canon we all know, this peace is short-lived - a new war is about to break out, more terrible than what Voldemort did in his time. It is not just between the purebloods and muggle-borns, but the entire wizarding community against the world of muggles.

Can wizards and witches continue to coexist with non-magical humans? Or will this balance be broken just like the witch-hunt back in the old times, but much much worse?

The story will revolve around four seemingly unrelated Hogwarts graduates - each from one of the Houses - who will eventually set aside their fears and differences, and unite together to fight to the ultimate end...

Percy Jackson - Demigods of the Dawn

Quest #1: The Atlantis Trial
(1x1 or Doubling | High-Casual to Advanced | Focus - Minor Deities)

Athena sends YC and MC on a suicide quest to retrieve a certain 'lost knowledge' that sank to the bottom of the ocean with Atlantis, but the goddess of wisdom isn't the only one who is hungry for this unknown treasure that may have the destructive power to rewrite the universe we know...

---

Quest #2: The Chain of Harmonia
(1x1 or Doubling | High-Casual to Advanced | Focus - Minor Deities)

"Ye shall cross over the rift of space,
For love, for war, ye will face.
The chain of curse is set ablaze,
And the land lies in the wake of faze."

The adventures of Percy Jackson and his girlfriend-turned-wife Annabeth Chase may have ended as they move on to settle down with a family, but the story is far from over...

Camp Half-Blood has been expanding at an alarming rate to accommodate cabins for the children of the minor gods and goddesses, but the discrimination against them from the descendants of the main Olympian deities still rages on...

When Hephaestus sends two lesser demigods on a suicide quest to retrieve a cursed necklace, little do they know that they are been thrown into an ugly emotional war between three gods, each who is armed with a dark agenda that may change the fate of Camp Half-Blood once more...

A new journey begins with two unlikely demigods - can they set their differences aside and triumph over the terrible ending that awaits them, or will they crumble to their sad destiny?

---

Quest #3: The Mosaic of the Muses
(1x1 or Doubling | High-Casual to Advanced | Focus - Minor Deities)

"When the song of calamity makes its call,
The children of darkness shall rise above all.
Hand in hand they will raze their fate,
And triumph over the dawn of late."

When the Muses lose their godly symbols, which plunges the world into a stale gloom, even Camp Half-Blood is not spared from the aftermath. A group of unlikely demigods - descendants of the minor gods and goddesses - come together in search for the lost items, while also battling against the growing darkness hidden deep within their very soul...

X-Men: Power Revolution

(TAKEN | X-Men movies | 1x1 or Doubling | High-Casual to Advanced)

For some years after the war on Alcatraz Island, humans and mutants alike have finally been able to coexist with each other in peace. However, that hard-earned peace - after so many bloodshed and sacrifices - is short-lived...

Away from public eyes, some humans are conducting researches and experiments - not to find ways to wipe out mutants once and for all with another 'cure', but to harness the X-gene, to find ways to bend the nature of normal human genes and create artificial mutants.

"A breakthrough in a quest for more power, a step closer to godhood..."

ORIGINAL

Final Reality

(RESERVED | 1x1 or Doubling | Advanced)

In the near future, humans are able to go to and fro freely between reality and cyberspace. As such, the governments have viewed the cyberspace as a parallel world to reality, seeking ways to extend their political control over what people conceived as 'freedom of the internet'. One of such nations has taken this to the extreme - the leader is a feminist/misogynist, who implemented a spherical boundary called SPHIRE within its borders to split the males and females of the population apart, ruling them with an iron fist. One of the genders is locked up in cyberspace, while the other is stuck in reality. The gender that is sectioned off in cyberspace will act as avatar for those in reality, to participate in an underground PvP tournament, where the victor may have the chance to become the new leader of this nation.

Our characters are unlikely partners who have to work together to rise to the top of the harsh matches, or else only a terrible end awaits them: the avatar becoming mindless data that will lose itself in the vastness of the virtual network, the human left with a live body but dead mind.

We can decide the gender to stay in reality (the other will automatically be for cyberspace) and also the role of our characters (player or avatar) through OOC/PM discussions.

Additional Notes

• Simply put, the one in reality is the 'player' who do the controlling/commanding, while those in cyberspace is the avatar or 'playing character' who do the actual fighting.
• Since the 'sphere' is a device that is used to convert human bioprint into transferable data and thus possible to seal people off in cyberspace, it can be countered with an anti-device/virus file or whatever we can come up with, which can be obtained from winning the tournament. Once SPHIRE is rendered useless, expect the people to reunite as one and start a revolution to get rid of the tyrant for good, to fight for the freedom they rightfully deserved.

ROLEPLAYS I AM NOT INTERESTED IN

• Apocalypse/Post-Apocalypse due to cliches like Zombie Attack, Virus Outbreak, etc (let's be more creative, people!)
• Fantasy set during the Middle Ages, Middle Earth or Victorian Era (I'm not well-versed in European history)
• Supernatural about mainstreams like Vampires, Werewolves, Angels, Demons, etc (I prefer Asian)
• Pairings?

  If you are looking to do pairing collabs with me, I am sorry to say that I do not do romance as the main theme. Please choose something else as the core genre, then we can talk about how to develop our characters into a possible relationship as sub-plot. Alternatively, you can go to my Character Sheet Thread and check out the OCs I have there and pick one that makes your character(s) swoon over him/her. We still need a decent plot idea, okay?

@tsukuneYou will be gifted the maddest of props, my good sir. I would like to know if you're available for either a Teen Titans Roleplay, or an X-men Roleplay. While I do know a bit about the X-men movies and what they do and all of that, I'm a bit more comfortable with the Teen Titans.

@Gowi

Thank you for your order!

It will take me some time to go through all your links because Starbucks wifi is just that crappy but you seem like a pretty cool person. (That avatar - Tadokoro Megumi for the win heh.)

Do you already have some idea in mind for the genres/settings you've expressed interest in?

[Gowi]

Espionage School/Team
I used to do a RP with my friend James where a bunch of kids ended up a specialty academy that turned out to be a school for special operatives. It was a bit fantastical in the concept. Maybe something I could revisit here—the breakdancing clown assassin is probably the goofiest thing that happened, but it was more about kids and the drama revolving around the school’s true agenda.

Horror-Murder Mystery aboard a Train
I’ve been re-reading “Murder on the Orient Express” lately. This is also a RP I’ve never tried yet so it’d be an interesting exercise. Would need to discuss this at length, I wager.

Apocalypse/Post-Apocalypse
Admittedly the primary ideas I have somewhat rounded out have to do with things you aren’t partial to with the whole ban on zombies and the supernatural. That pretty much leaves the enemies in the Post-Apocalypse being other humans, I imagine. Whilst the whole Fallout approach works fairly well enough for me, I’d have to bounce ideas off you if we went this route.

Mecha Sci-Fi
Probably the easiest one to setup, I imagine. Though as you know being a fan of the genre the possibilities of a RP here since we can go into squad-based shenanigans (Argevollen), an ignorant kid thrown into something bigger than he is (Evangelion), or a girl who finds herself needing to be protected by a mecha pilot for reasons (Full Metal Panic) – or something in-between the three or decidedly different.

Psychological Horror or Thriller
The last psychological horror games I did were admittedly influenced by Silent Hill or The Suffering, so I’m not sure if they work fairly well. I mean we could go the route of “Naoki Urasawa’s Monster” or “Ryukishi’s Higurashi” and making it based around the themes expressed there— I’d be optionable to either, but I haven’t done a RP quite like those two in… ever, actually. Could be a neat writing challenge.
