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.

This is just my character archive. I have recently reorganized it. I made a whole new thread for it, moved the CS I wanted to keep for memories sake over and am now less ashamed to have people stumble upon my creations.

Is this still happening?
tentative interest though I am probably a bit late now

Kida followed the commoner - Pacha - as he lead them towards the palace. She hasn't had much, or rather any, contact to people outside of Atlantis before. The last time she would have had the chance, she had been a small child and she did not remember much from that time. Mostly she just saw images of her mother being taken, although she knew she hadn't witnessed it - her father had shielded her -, her mind was filling the blank in dark and desperate nights.

The woman chuckled at Pacha's attempt to pronounce her name. Apparently it was unusual to these people. "Kida", she offered instead. "Is Pacha a... nickname?" And so she began to gently chat with the man as they made their way to the palace.

Upon arriving, she curiously took in the unusual coloring of the guards. She herself had tattoos and all inhabitants of Atlantis did as well. They were always blue. Seeing a person half red was new to her and she had a million questions but they were ushered to move along.

Though one curious scene would only be replaced by another as Pacha was hit with a sandal and was struggling to free an old man from a makeshift prison of some kind the next moment. It seemed he had gotten himself tangled up somehow. "Oh!", Kida exclaimed surprised and went to assist Pacha in retrieving the man and bringing him back to the floor. "However did you manage that?"
That's a good point though. @Guardian Angel Haruki, do we do Nat 1s and Nat 20s RAW or do we use them for all rolls?

Edit: Acrobatics check for that old man is sadly only an 11.
Damn, came back to 25 posts in two days. What happened xD
Lmao 20 or 2 certainly is a difference.
<Snipped quote by Benzaiten>

Yeah, just not sure where I go from here. Going with Pacha doesn't feel like the kind of thing a big group of random strangers just does (an established party, sure). Mabel would probably be more 'got to find a map, get back to my town' so maybe I'll go with that.


You're right. Kida has a curiosity and a personal interest in getting a read in the emperor. Mabel doesn't really have reason to be interested in this issue at hand. Might also not be the worst idea to have some of us scout the city (aka you getting your map and a feel for the place simultaneously). But then again splitting the party is just asking for a fight isn't it xD it'll surely end in shit
Got a post in :) How is everyone doing? Excited to get into the story? Cause I sure am

When the locals explained to her that their emperor seemed to not care for the dire state his people were in, she felt a slow and bubbling anger build within her. These people were starving. The very same people who kept the country running, who farmed the food and build the houses and taught children and were needed for its defenses and growth. Self serving people never understood the value of a community, the value of people well-fed, taken care of and educated where possible. It made her wonder why an emperor so self-centered and uncaring wanted to invite a peasant to his palace on his birthday. Surely not to inquire about their needs or ask for their opinion.

"I shall also accompany you", Kida said as Li Shang extended his offer. She came here to find aid for her people. And what she had found so far was a group of seemingly caring and capable people as well as a strange land with an uncaring emperor. Ideally, that emperor was more caring than the tale of the three locals let on but she doubted it. It was worth a shot meeting him anyway. If they would even get that far. But this was definitely the way forward. And if she would find no help with the authorities of this place, she was still certain she could find help with the other strangers she had met in this tavern place.

"Pacha", she rolled the name on her tongue. It was different from what she knew but so was everything here. "It is nice to make your acquaintance. I am Kidagakash."
@Guardian Angel Haruki I knew I recognised it!! I'm just at the Thordak fight in C1 right now. So excited for C2 as I've heard it's supposed to be the best.
