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.

The Death Knight's Squire (GM)
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.

@Melpaws Of course I don't know if I'll be available when (if) that happens but feel free to do so. You've got a nice concept going on.

Zhalia's eyes fixated on the man's way-too-handsome face for a moment longer before moving to her soaked sleeve. She moved the cup of hot tea into the other hand and shook her wet hand softly at the ground to dry it slightly. "I'm so sorry", she mumbled softly as she began to dry her hand and sleeve off on her top as best as she could. Luckily the hot tea wasn't burning hot. That would have been a different story.

She looked back up as the man introduced himself as Simon Hart with a side note of charm and - dare she say, flirtation? Not directed at her, of course, but rather a flirtation with words. "I'm Zhalia." A charming smile turned her face into a more welcoming, engaging canvas. She quickly moved her cup back to her not-so-wet-anymore hand and offered Simon the other for a handshake. Upon his question, her head turned to look behind her slightly as her thoughts returned to the chatter she was originally escaping from. Zhalia shook her head softly, facing Simon, her brown hair bouncing around the frame of her face. "No, not at all. But I do think I owe you the offer of dinner... so to say. If you would have me as company?" A small laugh accompanied her words. "Allow me?" She began to find a path through the various people gathered around, leading him towards the food tent.

It seemed the spot was a wanted destination for many witches, for obvious reasons. Currently, the food tent had a gathering of three people, chatting among themselves, seemingly about pie. "Excuse me", she mumbled as she reached over to grab a couple of bread slices. She was certain she had seen the person with the beard before, be it only in passing. The other two seemed to have either slipped her mind or she had not encountered them before. To be fair, she had spent most of the past three days in her room, avoiding contact wherever possible, as she acclimated to her new surroundings.

With a handful of bread slices in her hand, she turned back to Simon. "Let's head to the fire." She was eager to leave the tent and find a spot in the open where it felt less crowded. Surprisingly enough, she really didn't mind Simon's presence and even felt relief at the thought of someone to chat with. Maybe that would be enough to steer people off of the idea they could come up to her and start an unprompted conversation. And Simon seemed alright.
This is very nice world building. Are you still open for one more player?
Are you planning on making a discord for communication or leaving it all on the forum?
We do still have a few spots open.

Khalida's eyes were fixed on the boy in front of her. "A Diviner then?", her soft voice spoke. Though it was raised as a question, it was clear that she knew the answer and did not need it confirmed. The young girl lowered her eyes to the deck of cards in her hands and began to split it in half, put it back together and split it in half again. "Are you sure you want your fortune read? I can not provide you with clear answers, I will not take questions and you may not be satisfied by what I provide." Khalida awaited Simon's affirmation before her fingers began rapidly moving the cards in a shuffling manner. After precisely thirty seconds, she halted and began to spread out the cards face-down on the table. "Choose three", she instructed.

As Simon pointed at the first card, Khalida turned it upright. "The Axe", she said. Khalida waited for Simon to choose the next card. "The Occultist." The girl paused for a moment. Then the third card got pulled. "The Frost Queen."

The young witch spread all three cards out in front of Simon. "Something wicked is approaching." Khalida lifted one hand above the cards and a low light emanated from them, swallowed by the unnatural darkness of the tent. "They don't know. It hasn't been spotted yet. It's already in our midst. The Frost Queen lends us her helping hand, she points you towards a person. A specific person. A widow of a sort. Someone who has lost their lover beyond return. In the moment of truth, you will be an agent of justice. That is your role." Her eyes shot up to meet Simon's. "Don't forget this."

The light faded and the girl drew her hand back. "That is all I can tell you."

Zhalia slipped through the door of her room and walked down the hallway of the Covenstead. She took the stairs down to the first floor and hurried outside. A glimpse into the young night was enough to tell her she had missed the beginning of the festivities of Alban Illir. The witch made her way down the street and pushed past the trees into the park and straight through. She came out on the other side and headed straight for the crowded tent area. As she passed the bonfire, she gave some of the witches who looked up at her with slight frowns a soft half-hearted smile.

The smell of roasted bread and alcohol filled her nostrils as she moved through the crowd, slowing down now as she had reached her destination. Zhalia had only arrived at Shipden Peak three days ago. That would make her the newest member, as per her knowledge. Safe to say, she had met rather few of the coven members so far. She had been preoccupied getting all the paperwork filled out and unpacking the few belongings she owned. She weaved through the assembly of witches, not really sure where she was trying to go, just knowing she was not ready to pause and thereby invite people to talk to her.

To her own surprise, she ended up at the tent with the drinks. The smell of alcohol was even more prominent here. It was clear someone had spilled something onto the floor. Although it had mostly dried and was barely visible, the smell stuck. Unsure what to do with herself, she grabbed a cup and filled it with hot tea. The warmth emanated from the beverage and she wrapped both her hands around the cup to soak it up. The heat had a calming effect on her. With softer, less hurried movements she stepped out of the tent and let her eyes roam around. Touching upon some faces, she tried to recognize anyone she had seen before in passing. After just a few moments, she felt the strange sensation of being observed. Steeling herself, Zhalia turned her head and looked straight into Coven Head Lina Calvo's face. But the woman was not paying her any attention. She was in conversation. And yet, Zhalia has had the overpowering feeling that Lina's eyes had been on her since she had arrived three days ago.

She forced her eyes off of the woman and instead continued to study the faces of her fellow coven witches. Somewhere to her right on the other side of the Patch stood a tent labeled as Fortune Teller. Zhalia watched as a young man on crutches left the tent. For a brief second, she wondered how legit this "fortune teller" was and if she should give it a shot but then she disregarded the thought. If the witch was just imitating the fortune tellers of humanity for the sake of amusement, maybe with a side of truth to it, she was not interested. And if the fortune teller was legit, she was even less interested. Knowing her future was not something that sat quite right with her. Is this fear I am spotting?, she mocked herself.

"Isn't that...?", a half-whispered voice raised a question somewhere behind her. "Oh yes, she is!", another voice answered, much less hushed. Zhalia promptly walked ahead with the intention to settle somewhere by the fire. As she hurried forward her foot caught on something. Her body jolted forward. She caught herself by stumbling, her hand with the hot tea held far away from herself, but it was too late. The tea had spilled partly over her hand and her sleeve. As she turned to see what she had tripped over, she found herself looking into a handsome face. Oh no. "I tripped over your crutches. I am sorry, I was too hasty. Are you okay? What a great first impression, huh?" As the young man was standing steady before her, she concluded the situation was salvageable.



@Leophael Have you already considered to look at RPs that are already going? Sure you might have to catch up a bit but at least they're not hovering in limbo.

@Mangrale I think I've heard one other person say that before 👀 who knows, maybe there are even more people interested ?
@Bartimaeus I like her! Your format is not a mess. The one for my RP is also not the shits tbh.
I don't think I am smart enough to join this as I'd never be able to come up with good ways to kill someone but this might be fun to watch. Did I get it right that when someone picks you to die, you die? No way to defend yourself or anything. If someone picks you off, you're out? And do you consider time zones when you say that killing someone off is "first come, first serve"? I'm just thinking if you announce a new killing slot at 2am for someone, they're at a disadvantage to come to you first ^^
