I mostly enjoy writing in the Casual section of the guild. Character development and exploring character relationships motivate me. I like to really think myself into my character and their view on others and the world around them which is why I prefer to stick to one character per roleplay. I love world-building but I am also easily overwhelmed with very detailed concepts I haven't been met with before. So you could say I love a decent amount of world-building and prefer original builds. Once everyone has settled, expanding that world and its concept is a great way to create more depth and keep me as a player hooked as I love to discover new things!
My favorite genre is and has always been fantasy. I guess you could say I love escapism to a point where I like to flee the mundane world entirely. I also feel drawn to sci-fi roleplays but I have noticed that those usually intimidate me. I feel like I am not adept at writing about technology and all that sci-fi goodness so I mostly just pine over how awesome some OOCs look and never apply to them.
When it comes to fantasy I feel right at home. For my mind, it is much easier to grasp magical concepts and worlds than sci-fi ones. As a result of this, all the worlds I write up (be it here as a GM or elsewhere) tend to be fantastical in one way or another. I especially enjoy adventure RPs and witch RPs. I like to see new magical systems and am always eager to learn more about the worlds I RP in.
Additionally, all my characters are queer, always. Since I am queer myself and can't imagine playing straight ^^
Although the days of witch hunts are long past us, life isn't roses. While the upcoming election is threatening witches with a potential anti-witch politician claiming the title of president, unrest is stirring in the corners of the world. A rise in threats has been detected - unnatural beings, magical beasts, and other supernatural phenomena pull media attention and feed directly into an anti-witch campaign.
A D&D One-Shot. A group of adventurers is hired to find the missing grandson of a wealthy couple visiting the town. He was taken by a mysterious knight who rode his horse into the deadly woods nearby, taking the young boy with him. But the knight is not a simple man, he is said to be a resurrected ghostly figure forever in search for a squire, kidnapping young boys who never return home.
Wandering Topside [1x1]
The Cult of the Dragon has come to Phlan, a lawless refuge on the Moonsea. Now, with no significant authority to stop the cult, other power groups in the Realms – the Harpers, Order of the Gauntlet, Lords' Alliance, and even the Zhentarim – must unite to stop the cult from fulfilling its dark purpose in the city. Meanwhile, Rhana, a drow rogue with a questionable past, and Salissa, a dhampir bard with flair, find themselves somehow involved in this as they tackle different missions aimed at stopping the cult.

I always write my IC posts in gray due to finding the white color pretty straining on the eyes.
Aaliyah didn't let anything on her facial expression show if she haf seen these wings before the woman haf hid them from her or not. She didn't think it was important. Instead she listened to her cute stuttering with curious eyes and a soft smile on her lips.
She found it incredibly adorable that it took her a while to form a real sentence. Now that was something she hadn't been familiar with. She stuttered a while and then told her her name. Kosara.... She hadn't heard that name before. Which was strange since she thought she had heard about any name by now.
The woman decided to touch the tree again and the sensation was just as strong. She felt it on her skin as intense tingles and in her veins as a pleasuring fire. Her arm felt like hot steel was being pressed against it and she hissed in pain. Her vision blurred for a second.
Then the stranger moved back, sat down and asked her if she would come down from her tree's position. She knew better thank to believe that a sweet, stuttering voice meant peace or weakness. She knew that this woman was powerful. She had felt it. Powerful enough to take her down if she wasn't careful. Nevertheless she found her body moving without consent of her mind. And a second later she had dropped off the branch and landed on her feet smoothly on the floor.
"I'm down", she said. "I'm Aaliyah." She wasn't sure how much she could really trust this woman, but she knew that her body had already decided that she would have to trust her. No consent of her mind being asked. Aaliyah hadn't ever felt like her body was a force on its own, not caring for her mind's decisions and danger warnings.
This woman had already made so much different, and she had only just met her. Aaliyah wasn't sure yet if she liked the way it made her act.
Nicknames: She doesn't use nicknames, but her wife is allowed to call her Nat
Age: 27 years
Gender: Female
Sexuality: She doesn't like labels
Occupation: Face of KindaTV (professional YouTube channel that produces LGBTQ+ positive series)
Barista on the side
Appearance: With her twenty-seven years Natasha can look quiet young sometimes, up to a point where someone would ask her if she was looking for a prom dress when she was searching for a fancy gown in a store. The brunette woman is 5'3'' tall and weights around 110lbs, but she doesn't care much about her weight, as long as she feels good and healthy. Her hair is of a natural dark color and her eyes are a deep brown. She doesn't have any specialties about her appearance, there are no abs, no tattoos or piercings except from the regular ear piercings. Natasha has a preference for wearing beanies. Her style ranges from leather jackets, ripped jeans and chokers to more 'adulty' clothing, from all black to color orientated. She dresses as she pleases and her way of dressing has caused some other parents to talk behind her back. 'What kind of mother can she be, if she likes to look like a rebellious teenager?'
Natasha owns glasses, which she doesn't need constantly, so you will see her with them on her nose every now and then.
Personality: Natasha prefers to be an example about acceptance and spreading positivity. She tries to never judge too quickly and listen to someone instead assuming anything. She lives by the rule 'my life, my decisions' and tries hard not to let anyone's opinion stop her from being herself and doing what she wants to do. Occasionally that gets to her, but her wife is a steady rock in her life to always bring her back on track just by being there with her.
Natasha is an animal lover, dogs especially, she has fostered some dogs in an earlier time in her life and helps out volunteeringly at a dog shelter when she can. She believes that what you put out there comes back to you.
She doesn't like to admit it, but she has a temper that she tries to control. Even though she can get quiet worked up, she never uses any violence. She prefers verbal fights. Natasha is a very emotional person, even though she has worked on that for some long years. She gets upset and hurt too soon, she feels attached to people too quickly. She has dealt with depression and still has moments in which that mental illness shows through but it has gotten so much better, only showing occasionally at this point in her life. And she has found out that being held by her wife for a while will make her depressed phases fade faster. She is passionate about feminism, fairness, equality and everything LGBTQ+.

Okay so I think Ive waited long enough for an answer. I never got one. So if anyone is interested in playing my character's wife, let me know.
I am sadly a bit too busy these days so this will probably go slowly for a while. Please excuse this, I didn't think I'd be getting so busy. I am really sorry. It would be awesome if you stuck around during this slow time. Again, I'm really sorry.
Hey @Erklings25, you still around somewhere? I'd still be down to do this or re-do it, if it's ever gonna be taken back to life somehow.
@ihinka Dillon really seemed amazing. I'm sad I didn't get to see her. Also sar I didn't get to play with my character more because I really loved her and all the work I put into her. *sigh* maybe somehow I'll find a RP that fits her so I can use her somewhere still.
@ihinka Your posts are always spot on. I love the depth of thoughts and feelings that linger in every sentence. It makes it feel all so much more real. I am really happy with this pairing ;)
@ihinka I cant promise any posts, because our internet (And telephone) isn't working currently. They wanna fix it, but I dotn trust them to work fast. Sooo... I can only reply when internet is back or if I decide to write a post while out at a spot with free WiFi. Sorry. :/
It was as if a wave of rough pleasure hit her when the women beneath her touched the tree. She hadn't even noticed what was going on. She hadn't processed what it would mean if the woman got closer to the tree or even touched it. She hadn't considered that she would look upwards, spot Aaliyah. She had been too deep in her mind, staring.
The wave went up her arm and through her body, she felt it in her veins, her tattoo burnt on her skin, it could of very well left a burnt-flesh mark on her body, that's how it felt. But something distracted her from all of that. It was the sounds coming from the woman, who either felt pleasure or pain - Aaliyah wasn't too sure. She didn't know what to make of the sounds and actions that were happening. But she knew her fascination with the woman was deeper than simple curiosity. It was much more than that.
The woman once more wondered if this woman was aware of her Eredh. Where did she come from? Was she the last rest of Eredh this earth once had? Maybe... Aaliyah wanted to find out. She felt a hard drive to get to know all the secrets this creature carried within her.
And then she looked up and spotted her. Aaliyah's heart should have frozen, her facade should have dropped in shock. But she felt weirdly calm. She knew it was only because A) she sat in a tree, her territory and B) the fact that she simply had way too many questions about the woman and this whole situation to feel frightened or intimidated right now. Those feelings would probably hit her later on.
She looked down at the woman with curious brown eyes. "Hello", Aaliyah said gently. "Did you just feel that?" She didn't even consider the question weird or personal. She thought they had shared a strange experience and was rather eager to find out what it meant. She expected the stranger to feel the same way about dealing with the situation. How else would one approach something like this?
She lowered herself a little more to get a closer look at the woman but she stayed on the branch, in safe distance. Then she decided to sit on it, legs hanging from each side and her back leaning against the tree trunk.
"That was strange, huh?" Her voice showed enthusiasm, as if this encounter with whatever just happened was just a strange tv show mystery to be solved. Her lips were curled into a bright smile.
[Very sorry for bad reply. I'm sick times two and it was written on my phone (phone written replies always suck when fron me), so don't rip my head off please, @ihinka.]
