Synopsis
I like telling engaging stories with cool people :)
Collaboration and teamwork are very important to me when telling a story- I could write any genre as long as the group dynamic is healthy.
If you're chill and understand grammar we'll probably get along!

Some Things I Wrote
Too many to share but have a sample platter of poetry
A Snake Lies ---
Sometimes I like to daydream That I am one of God’s favored children That I am more than a snake in someone else’s garden That I could shed this serpentine form Snakeskin and all
And emerge as something beautiful
I long to flex wings of radiant white Soft as clouds and strong as the winds that would carry them What I would give to cast a warm golden light From a graceful and glittering halo Undeniable proof of God’s love for me
Yet here I lurk and slither
Undulating through the undergrowth that shields me From the judgment of His burning eye Always aloft in the daytime sky Piercing and scrutinizing all that I am So I hide in the shadows, only creeping out at night
Better not to know what He would see me as
There are flora abundant in this garden An endless bounty to take part in And a single tree that stands forbidden They clamor about it now, weighing curiosity against divine judgment I watch on, and flick my tongue out nervously
The air tastes bitter and dark
The woman seizes a fruit and sinks her teeth in deep Its juice dribbles tantalizingly down her chin And soon the man is pulled into this scheme They gorge greedily of each other and the tree I am suddenly overcome with a deep sense of envy
I am stricken with the thought that He will blame me
All I ever wanted was to be one of His chosen All I dreamed was to be an angelic being But righteous fury is fast approaching And I know between the three of us who He will trust I let out a low hiss, and do what I must
I emerge into the light
And take credit for the sin that I took no part in
Ironically, im the sucker
you were like a leech teeth sunk deep into my heart draining life and limb
This one is about love
I had clung to you desperately; the driftwood that kept me afloat as our world descended into swirling chaos all around us.
This one is about love too, but nicer
I walk the length of the shore, and I admire its beauty and its crookedness. Its fine, soft sand and all of the imperfections that sand holds within. I sit on the shore and watch with you as the waves roll, in and out.
Jellyfish Drifting ---
I am a jellyfish drifting through the deep
My feeble form carried by currents unseen
Nearly ninety-five percent of my body is water
There is no central nervous system that binds me
And I lack a heart, brain, and feeling
So the biologists say
On the contrary
It has been a long, lonely, hungry odyssey
As I venture through this cold, dark sea
My food is scraps of flesh-like snow
Only the empty darkness as lasting company
And I still don’t know where these currents want me to be
Still, I am good at nothing if not drifting
So I suppose I will have to go at least a little further
Down here in the deep
Beneath the Abyss ---
Waves crash and thunder roars turning the ocean’s surface into a maelstrom of elemental chaos and titanic passions
The contest of surface and sky grows dim and distant as I sink below deeper and further from a world I cannot combat or understand
Tremors of the truth chase me still ripples and reverberations of a reality that I would prefer to leave to the sailors to the fools that are willing and capable
So I pass from the dark of midnight where most truths go to die to the cold and stygian abyss where only nightmares can survive
Lies and fears fall from above and drift around me a sickly dance of pale rotten snow I catch one on my tongue and it is hard to swallow and I know that I have deeper yet to go
I sink so deep language lacks the name down into a chasm in the earth and in my brain
The world above the waves is a harsh and cruel place so I delve past the benthic to a world without pain
I have to agree with @Ashgan that the playerbase is extremely small, especially considering what we're apparently trying to achieve with this roleplay. I'm not so sure a reboot makes much sense though, seeing as how as it stands, there's absolutely nothing here to reboot yet. The RP hasn't even really started.
I've found success planning out what happens, and then just writing it out whenever there's free time. I'll absolutely not limit myself to one session with another person essentially looking over my shoulder the whole time. It stifles creativity and creates unnecessary pressure.
My collabs usually happen like this:
Plan things out
Writer 1- (writes several paragraphs Writer 2- (writes several paragraphs)
@ArenaSnow Part of this week is going to unpredictable for me, but once things settle down in a few days, I would be happy to discuss collabs and such with not just you, but anyone that's up for one.
I'm honestly not terribly convinced that Astera is anything of a rival to anyone, yet. I suppose that should come IC, but as it stands, she and her people have no real military to speak of, making such a ripe planet as Lerna a juicy peach waiting to be plucked. Yes, she's building a new fleet, but even cutting edge tech isn't terribly helpful if the fleet is only fledgling, and some might say that a more suspicious faction would want to invade before the nation that previously relied on commerce and tourism suddenly decided to build a powerful navy. Certainly Enyo Varion, if @Thecrash20 ever returns, would be a more appropriate rival, should he choose the path of disloyalty.
Astera and her ilk can expect an ambassador from the Cluster, so that could be fun for a collab sometime @Ashgan
@Ashgan I like the dynamic that your character could potentially add, I just think it needs to be balanced alongside everything else. Political intrigue, the looming threat of civil war, and mass-scale space battles are all just as appealing to me.
I like to think that Klosk is a complete psychic dud. He has no hope of ever training or acquiring any kind of psychic potential, but similarly, he cannot be read or controlled by others with psychic abilities. Maybe it's some kind of expensive surgery, or genetic.
I don't think I'll consent to allowing my lord to be mind-bended, and if I need to come up with a good IC reason for why he can't, I will. Other than that, seems sort of interesting. Hopefully she doesn't become the main focus of the RP.
