@Thinslayer Cool. Well, with all this information I'll know what to expect with Imperium culture and such, and should any other questions arise during I'll shoot you a PM and figure it out from there. I'm ready to start! Is there anything you'll want from me prior like a character sheet? I have a good idea of how I want to lay out my first post.

Cheers.

@Thinslayer Sounds fantastic! You may or may not be addressing these with whatever lore you're about to share, but I'll ask anyway just in case. I'm curious about a few points;

Government. How is it structured? Is there a leading head or monarch? A council type agreement? Is there a pyramid of classes differentiating say a noble family to a commoner one? What political climate is to be expected at the time of the RP?

What are the rules on magic? Is it a trait born for a gifted few or can it be learned?

How does religion (if there is any) affect the ideals of Imperium citizens?

And where is Aetherion relative to the Imperium? (E.g. West or East)

I ask these because I'll always strive to maintain consistency with your lore. I'll say now at any point should I overstep boundaries or post something that just doesn't sit right with the world PM me at any time and I can quickly remedy it. The setting strikes me as one where like I said before remains general enough for a person have free reign on working their ideas in the set world, but I'll always mention my willingness to work with the lore you have in place.

Even though I said I'd be interested in a space type setting I can't help but be intrigued with the plot of Condemned. Maybe it's because it's common ground to me and I've yet to get back into writers form. But it sounds like you have a good idea of where you want to go with it. I'd love to take part. :)

Hey everybody!

So, a bit about me: I'm making the move from RoleplayGateway to here. I was a frequent user there about.. . three years ago? (I forgot my account information and figured it'd be easier to just make a new one). It was fantastic, and the site was a sort of catalyst that propelled my creative writing to new heights. Unfortunately life got busy and I had to quit. Well, after a bit of stumbling and maturing here I am two years later figuring I'd get back into it again. I'm an easy-going person so don't expect any pretentious attitude from me because forum RP will always just be for fun. However, I do have a two expectations from you if we're going to go on through with this:

Collaboration - This'll be a you and I project. Looking back I found that my biggest mistake on this website was placing my attention in to too many places at once. 4 RPs at one point to be exact. Some people can manage that -- I can't. The vision I see for this is to find a person I see chemistry with and fully focus all I have on that. I'd much rather have a story I can see through to the end than several ones that eventually dissolve into the black hole of inactivity. Also, be prepared to have some input into the story. If I wanted to RP with a brick wall well.. . I'd RP with a brick wall. I know you have some amazing ideas and it would be great if you would let me flesh them out with you. In fact, if you had experience in being a GM that would be even better. See, I can drive a story forward, but I get my momentum by feeding off other people. Essentially I am a cannibal.

No but seriously, if you want to GM please do. Next point.

Commitment - I'd briefly touched on this above but I reaaaally want to emphasize the point and I'm not going to lie to you: I have yet to be in a collaboration I was able to see through to the end. The sad thing was that all these previous ideas we had hashed out and planned out for were so interesting and new but unfortunately life just got in the way and people could not stay committed. I'm guilty of that too, but my schedule now is much more forgiving now than it was in the past. We'll say minimum a post every two weeks?

Those are really the two only points I want to emphasize. Other general rules apply such as literacy, post-length, etc but I have no doubt you already know the general consensus on those. BUT, enough of the boring stuff. What should we do?

WELL I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.

I have two ideas in mind:

Medieval Fantasy Kingdoms. You're nobility of one kingdom, I'm nobility of another. Politics, deceit, romance, anguish, war and other label words. We don't even have to be nobility. We can make out completely different roles. Medieval Fantasy has always appealed to me because it's such a general term that any creative mind can inject their own flavor into it. I have been leaning more towards the epic side however, as in big-scale conflict with the fate of whole kingdoms balanced on the decisions of a few.

OR A SPACE OPERA. I've seriously wanted to do one of these for the longest time and I've never gotten around to it. In fact this would be my preferred selection because I would really be putting myself in uncharted territory as far as writing goes. We could be satellite nations under a authoritative regime seeking to regain our independence. Throw in all those label words stated above and we have a story!

Anyway, thanks for reading my post. My main hope is to find a person I can develop a writers chemistry with, who can stay consistent and see this through to the end. This'll be a one on one thing too, I feel with just two people allows for more intimacy and complex movement with regards to character development and driving the story forward. I hope I didn't come off as an up-tight, I'm really not. I'm just excited to start writing with somebody again.

If you're interested just reply here with a little bit about yourself and your favorite color. I look forward to hearing from ya.
