My name is Archazen but, considering you are on my page, I'm sure you already knew that. Feel free to call me Archie, if you like.
I am a long time role-player of many years, roughly 15 years as of writing this, and I am open to RPing just about anything.
I have experience primarily with fantasy but I have also done Sci-fi, Horror, romance, slice of life, supernatural, etc, etc.

I will be uploading my RP requests as well as Bios of my OCs below please feel free to check them out and to PM if you have any interest in any of them.

I will primarily be roleplaying on my working days, my job has a lot of down time and my home life is hectic enough without trying to find time for roleplay. If I'm silent for a while, I'll let you know in advance if I can so I'd expect the same courtesy.

The cart stood as a poignant relic of a bygone era, its wooden frame bearing the scars of countless journeys. Weathered and splintered, it creaked ominously with every jolt, a symphony of age and neglect. The wheels, once the epitome of craftsmanship, now wobbled precariously, each rotation a gamble with fate, threatening to detach at any moment. The so-called seats were nothing more than rough-hewn planks, their surfaces unforgiving and devoid of comfort, mocking the weary traveller who dared to rest upon them. Frayed ropes and rusted nails held the entire contraption together, a testament to its resilience and the many years it had braved these unforgiving roads. This cart, in its dilapidated state, told a story of endurance and the relentless passage of time.

The journey into town on this decrepit wooden cart was a far cry from the refined comforts of Surrey. Each ride was an ordeal, marked by incessant jolts and jostles that tested one’s endurance. The man, known for his impeccable standards, found himself reluctantly enduring this indignity—not out of necessity, but merely because he happened to be passing through. To him, Amistad was just another stop on his travels, a place where he found himself by chance rather than choice. The cart’s every creak and groan underscored the stark contrast between his usual surroundings and this rustic reality, making the experience all the more jarring.

Ah, Amistad. Another dreary waypoint in the man’s grim survey of the new world. This town, like so many others, was a cesspool of destitution and criminality. Yet, it had the dubious distinction of being called a town, albeit in the loosest sense of the word. Here, his disdain for the filth around him grew ever more intense, a stark contrast to the genteel life he once knew. The squalor and lawlessness of Amistad only deepened his sense of alienation, making him long for the refined and orderly world he had left behind.

Upon arriving in Amistad, the man sought lodging with a sense of resignation. He found himself at the Haven Inn, a modest establishment run by Patty and Jason Miller, a couple whose kindness and evident love for each other stood in stark contrast to the town’s harshness. Patty, seated at the inn’s desk and engrossed in a book, greeted him warmly as he entered. Her smile was a rare beacon of warmth in this desolate place.

Reginald, ever the gentleman, approached the desk with a refined air. “Good evening, madam,” he began, his voice smooth and cultured. “Might I trouble you for a room?”

Patty looked up from her book, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. “Well, howdy there, stranger! Sure thing, we got a room for ya. How long ya thinkin’ of stayin’?”

“That is yet to be determined,” he replied. “I must say, your establishment is quite… charming.”

“Aw, ain’t that sweet of ya to say! This here’s the Haven Inn. My husband Mr. Miller and I run the place. Lemme get ya a key.” She paused, pulling out a logbook from beneath the desk. “I’ll just need your name for the record, if ya don’t mind.”

“Of course, Mrs. Miller. Sir Reginald Percival Hawthorne,” he said, enunciating each syllable with precision.

“Please! Just call me Patty, everyone does.” Patty jotted down his name with a smile. “Thank ya kindly, Mr. Hawthorne. And if ya need anything, don’t hesitate to holler. We ain’t got much, but we do our best to make folks feel at home.”

“Your kindness is most… appreciated, Patty.” Reginald said, masking his inner disdain for the inn’s rustic charm and Patty’s lack of understanding of proper titles. Though the Haven Inn was quite nice by most standards, to Reginald, it was a far cry from the opulence he was accustomed to. He made his way to his room, concealing his discomfort as he took in the simple, yet clean accommodations.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________


With nowhere else to go and the hour growing late, Reginald found himself reluctantly drawn to the saloon, the only establishment still open in this forsaken town. The saloon was a dimly lit, smoke-filled room, its air thick with the scent of stale beer and unwashed bodies. The raucous laughter of patrons, oblivious to the decay around them, filled the space, creating a cacophony that grated on Reginald’s refined sensibilities.

He took a seat at the bar, his posture impeccably straight despite the rough surroundings. The bartender, a burly man with a grizzled beard and a no-nonsense demeanor, approached him with a nod. Reginald, ever the epitome of sophistication, cleared his throat delicately before speaking.

“Good evening,” he began, his voice smooth and cultured. “Might I trouble you for a glass of your finest Château Margaux?”

The bartender’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Château what now?” he grunted.

Reginald sighed inwardly, his patience wearing thin. “A fine Bordeaux wine,” he clarified, though he knew it was a futile request.

The bartender shook his head, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “Ain’t got none of that fancy stuff here. We got whiskey, beer, and gin. Take your pick.”

Suppressing a shudder of disgust, Reginald forced a tight smile. “Very well, then. I shall have a whiskey, neat.”

The bartender nodded and poured a generous measure of whiskey into a glass, sliding it across the bar to Reginald. He accepted it with a curt nod, then, with a look of mild distaste, pulled out a pristine handkerchief from his pocket. Carefully, he wiped the rim of the glass, ensuring it was clean to his standards. Lifting the glass to his nose, he inhaled the sharp scent of the whiskey, his expression betraying his reluctance. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided he was better off without it and set the glass back down on the bar, untouched.

As he surveyed the scene with a mixture of disdain and weary acceptance, Reginald couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of alienation. Here, in this dimly lit, smoke-filled room, he would bide his time, driven by an inexplicable force that had haunted him for as long as he could remember. This pull, this need to find something—perhaps here, perhaps elsewhere—gnawed at him relentlessly, a constant reminder of the darkness that now shadowed his every step.

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
Friedrich Nietzsche

Totally intrigued!


Thalorian stood sentinel at the back of the group, his imposing figure a reassuring presence amidst the encroaching darkness. His eyes, sharp and vigilant, constantly scanned the oppressive gloom for any signs of movement. The flickering torchlight, held by the group’s leader, cast eerie, dancing shadows on the damp, moss-covered walls, making every corner and crevice seem like a potential hiding spot for unseen dangers. The air was thick with the scent of mildew, and the faint, distant sound of dripping water echoed through the narrow passageways.

Trailing the scout through the labyrinthine sewer tunnels was far from Thalorian’s idea of a good time. The stench of stagnant water and decay was almost overwhelming, assaulting his senses with every breath. The echo of their footsteps seemed unnaturally loud in the confined space, bouncing off the slimy, brick walls and creating an eerie, disorienting cacophony. Despite the discomfort and ever-present danger, the mission was clear: find the missing people or at least uncover the reason for their mysterious disappearance. This objective was more than enough reason for Thalorian to endure the oppressive environment. His resolve was unwavering, driven by a sense of duty and the hope of bringing some closure to the families of the vanished.

Navigating the treacherous terrain required careful attention. The ground was uneven and slippery, and the risk of encountering something—or someone—hostile was ever-present. Thalorian’s hand never strayed far from the hilt of his sword, ready to defend against any sudden attack. The scout ahead moved with a practiced ease, but Thalorian’s confidence never wavered. He was a seasoned warrior, well-versed in handling such situations.

As they ventured deeper into the labyrinthine tunnels, the air grew noticeably cooler, and the surroundings became increasingly desolate. The occasional debris and signs of life from the upper levels gradually disappeared, replaced by an eerie emptiness that seemed to swallow all sound. Thalorian’s grip tightened on his weapon, his senses sharpened and ready for any potential threat. The silence was almost palpable, broken only by the distant drip of water and the soft rustle of their clothing.

The further they progressed, the more the oppressive atmosphere pressed in on them. The walls, slick with moisture, seemed to close in, creating a claustrophobic feeling that would have unnerved a lesser warrior. But Thalorian remained unfazed, his mind focused solely on the mission. His eyes scanned the darkness with unwavering vigilance, every shadow and flicker of light scrutinized for hidden dangers.

The cool air carried a faint, musty odour, a reminder of the long-forgotten history buried within these tunnels. The occasional scurrying of unseen creatures added to the sense of isolation, but Thalorian’s confidence never wavered. He was a seasoned warrior, accustomed to facing the unknown with calm determination. His presence was a beacon of strength for his companions, who could draw courage from his unyielding resolve.

"So, what made ya bunch take on this request? Pay's pretty low aint it?" the scout inquired.

Thalorian glanced at him, his expression unreadable, yet his eyes conveyed a deep sense of purpose. “It’s the right thing to do,” he replied, his voice steady and resolute. “Ensuring justice is carried out and protecting those who cannot protect themselves is my duty. These people need help, and that’s reason enough. It’s not about the reward; it’s about doing what’s right. If we don’t help, who will?”

His words hung in the air, a testament to his unwavering commitment. Thalorian’s sense of duty was ingrained in him, a guiding principle that had shaped his every action. He knew that the path of righteousness was often fraught with challenges, but it was a path he was willing to walk without hesitation.

As they prepared to move forward, Thalorian’s mind remained focused on the task at hand. The faces of the missing haunted his thoughts, fueling his determination to uncover the truth and bring justice to those who had been wronged. He knew that their efforts could make a difference, and that belief was enough to drive him onward.

"Ah, where to begin? I suppose one could say I am a connoisseur.."

Reginald is a man of refined manners and impeccable etiquette, a relic of a bygone era. Outwardly, he presents himself with the poise and dignity befitting his former station as a butler. His speech is measured, his attire always immaculate, and his demeanor unflinchingly polite. Yet, beneath this veneer of civility lies a mind fractured by tragedy and vengeance.

Reginald is a man who has nothing left to lose. His actions are guided by a personal code of justice, often placing him at odds with the law. While he retains the grace and precision of his former life, his actions are now driven by a sense of liberation from societal constraints.

Despite his descent into psychosis, Reginald harbors a deep disdain for those he deems beneath him. He views the downtrodden and the less fortunate with contempt, seeing them as a reflection of the world’s decay. His interactions are marked by a curious blend of gentility and menace, a testament to the duality of his nature.

In the harsh landscape of the Wild West, Reginald stands out as an enigma. He is a man who adheres to his own set of rules, unbound by societal norms. His journey is one of navigating a world that has taken everything from him, seeking moments of peace amidst the chaos. Though his hands are stained with blood, he sees his actions as a necessary evil, a means to an end in his fractured reality.

“Must I truly indulge in such trivial inquiries? Very well, if you insist on knowing the superficial details of my appearance…”

Reginalde’s appearance remains a testament to his unwavering commitment to refinement, despite the chaos that surrounds him. His face is adorned with a meticulously groomed, small curled moustache, adding a touch of old-world charm to his stern countenance. Perched atop his head is a pristine bowler hat, always perfectly positioned, a symbol of his enduring elegance.

His right eye is framed by a polished monocle, which he adjusts with a practiced hand, lending an air of sophistication to his piercing gaze. His eyes, though shadowed by the weight of his past, remain sharp and observant, ever vigilant.

Reginald’s attire is the epitome of immaculate. He dons a pristine black suit, tailored to perfection, with not a single thread out of place. The suit is complemented by a crisp white shirt and a perfectly knotted black tie. His polished black shoes gleam with a mirror-like finish, reflecting his dedication to maintaining his appearance.

In his hand, he carries a long black cane, an elegant accessory that complements his refined demeanour. The cane is a symbol of his dual nature: refined on the surface, yet capable of swift and decisive action.

"a tapestry of refinement and ruin. Once a butler in England, now a wanderer.."

The lights, casting a yellow hue across the devastated room, swayed gently, revealing the scattered bodies, blood stains, and shattered china plates. Amidst the chaos stood the man responsible, his presence both commanding and eerie. He meticulously wiped his cane, the instrument of his grim symphony with which he orchestrated his melody of destruction with chilling precision.

Reginald, once the dignified butler, now fugitive, maintained an air of unsettling calm. His sharp, black suit remained immaculate, a stark contrast to the carnage around him. His posture was impeccable, exuding an eerie sense of control and refinement despite the surrounding chaos. His cane, a simple yet elegant accessory, was now the symbol of his dark revelation. His eyes, cold and calculating, scanned the room with a detached sense of satisfaction, as if each fallen body was a note in his macabre composition. The room, once a place of opulence and order, now lay in ruins, a testament to his wrath and the meticulous nature of his vengeance.

And the reason for his vengeance was clear: they were responsible for the death of his niece. This act of retribution was not just a crime but a deeply personal symphony of justice, driven by the loss of the only family he had left. The memory of his niece’s innocent smile haunted him, fueling his resolve as he exacted his revenge. Each strike of his cane was a note in the requiem for his lost family, a testament to the depths of his sorrow and the intensity of his wrath.

“Must we persist with these incessant questions? Very well, if you must know.."

The act of vengeance marked the beginning of Reginald’s descent into madness, a journey where societal norms no longer held sway over him. The murder of his employers shattered his moral compass, leaving him adrift in a sea of chaos and anarchy. Drawn by an inexplicable pull, he felt compelled to head west—a land of lawlessness and opportunity. The untamed frontier seemed to call to the turmoil within him, mirroring his fractured mind and new life.

The journey was arduous, but this magnetic pull drove him forward, seeking solace in the vast, untamed landscapes that reflected his own turbulent soul. Each step he took was a note in a new, discordant symphony, the rhythm of his cane against the ground echoing the beat of his fractured mind. The Wild West, with its boundless horizons and rugged terrain, offered a sanctuary where he could confront the darkness within him and live by his own rules.

Jet had just finished loading the Snivvian into the cargo containers when the situation began to escalate. The air was thick with tension, and the atmosphere crackled with unease. Fel was visibly furious, his face a mask of barely contained rage. The plan had gone awry, and now they were surrounded by a multitude of witnesses—or hostages, depending on one’s perspective. The room was filled with a chaotic mix of fear and uncertainty, each person a potential threat or ally.

As the Chiss spoke up, Jet’s eyes darted around, assessing everyone in the room. He observed Fel’s intense contemplation, noting the way his jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed in thought. Fel was seasoned in these things, but even he seemed momentarily at a loss. Jet then turned his attention to Aellyn, whose calm demeanour was a stark contrast to the turmoil around them.

Simultaneously, Jet attempted to piece together his own understanding of the situation. The stakes were high, and the margin for error was non-existent. He knew they needed to act quickly and decisively, but the path forward was fraught with peril. The Chiss was an unknown variable, and Jet couldn’t shake the feeling that any misstep could lead to disaster. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for whatever came next.

“Let me live and I’ll forget I ever saw you.” the Chiss pleaded, his voice tinged with desperation.

Jet was about to interject, but Aellyn spoke first. He held his breath, weighing the potential consequences. Taking the Chiss as a hostage could jeopardize the entire operation, but what other options did they have? The room was filled with tension, and Jet could feel the weight of the decision pressing down on him. He knew that any wrong move could lead to disaster. The Chiss was a wildcard, unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Yet, leaving him behind wasn’t an option either. The stakes were too high, and the margin for error was razor-thin. Jet’s mind raced through possible scenarios, each more perilous than the last. He glanced at Fel, whose anger was barely contained, and then at Aellyn. They needed a plan, and they needed it fast.

“If he thinks about double-crossing me, I’ll shoot him myself. What about the kid?” Aellyn asked, her voice steady and cold.

“Alright!” Jet barked, his voice gruff and commanding, cutting through the tension like a knife. He jabbed a thumb back at the containers holding the thugs, his eyes narrowing with disdain. “These lowlifes can rot here. They’re useless, know nothing, and are worth even less.” He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in before continuing. “As for the Chiss, we’re stuck with Aellyn’s plan for now. We’ll use his transport and get onto the Basilisk.”

Jet pulled off his helmet, revealing a face etched with weariness and a hint of determination. His eyes, though hardened, softened slightly as they fell on the kid. The kid was a local, a product of this harsh environment, and Jet couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity and a sense of responsibility.

“And the kid’s coming with us,” he said, his tone firm but not unkind. “He’s a local; he knows things this guy doesn’t.” He nodded towards the Chiss, who sat silently, observing the exchange. “He’ll either prove his worth or I’ll personally toss him from a height much higher than that damn balcony.”

Jet’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, but his resolve was clear. The mission had taken an unexpected turn, but he was determined to see it through. He glanced around at the rest, his expression one of steely determination. With a bit of luck and a lot of grit, they might just make it work.
