Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.
I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.
This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.
My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

Good IC posts, guys. Just be aware for future reference of characters knowing too much about the Naval Intelligence characters. Technically they don't exist, no one knows about them, so be aware of being too omniscient
^ This ^
Good posts guys! looking forward to my next one
Yikes, i've been here on and off for over six years! I can scarcely believe how much time has past and how much has happened since i first made my account in Feb 2011. When i first started, i was working part-time at a little shop called The Wine Stand that sold spirits and wines etc, a glorified off-license really. Now i'm fortunate enough to have landed my dream job in marketing but things weren't always looking so good. Particularly in the beginning, i struggled every day with insecurity and doubt in myself. I believed that i couldn't ever get what i wanted because that wasn't how life worked.
I think, in some small (or maybe a large, depending on how much i underestimate the power of this place) way, the Guild helped me to gain confidence in my abilities and lead a better life. I've made a few life-long friends here, and my writing has gotten soooo much more consistent too! So i know this isn't really a creative piece, more of a testimonial, but i want to thank Mahz and the team for keeping the Guild running (apart from Guildfall, which made me lose my post count
) and to every single person i've met and roleplayed with over the years. It's been real, and i hope to still be roleplaying here in another six years time
Thanks guys, love you all <3

Morning everyone! Just posted an NPC mini-post to capture the atmosphere down at the Scythian's loading bay.
@dracolunaris if you feel like retrospectively adding to your last post based on whats in the mini-post will give your Apis something more to do, please feel free although you absolutely don't have to.

NPC Mini-post - Scythian Loading Area
Adrienne was getting restless. She hopped from one foot to another, looking round at the other people in the queue for aid supplies. A group of marines and some civilian officer types had just pushed their way through the crowd but that space had already been refilled by clamoring colonists. A thin line of navy crewmen were holding people back, while a small number of personnel were grabbing boxes from inside the cargo hold and distributing the contents. Adrienne saw one old lady get one MRE. It felt as though they were either distributing a really small amount of supplies, or they were trying to buy themselves some time. She turned to her husband, who had a tight grip on their two kids. He gave her a look which said 'don't do it' but she couldn't help herself.
"Stay here, i'll be right back; i'm gonna go talk to them."
"No darling, please just stay here. We'll get ours in a minute!"
Adrienne turned and started subtly pushing her way through the crowd. Her tall and thin size gave her some leverage as she used her elbows to squeeze between the spacesuited refugees blocking her way. It wasn't long before she started hearing disgruntled noises. People in front began looking at her and she could feel it getting harder and harder to move. She was almost to the front when a rotund man from Facilities Management, who had spotted her from a mile away, blocked her path.
"Get back in line, lanky!"
"I'm just going to talk to them, i don't want any trouble with you!" Adrienne pleaded.
The man held out both his hands and pushed her back again. "This lady is pushing to the front!" Several other people turned around and started jeering at her. Adrienne did not take kindly to some punk from FM speaking to her in this way. She pushed him back, sending him tumbling onto his behind. Several people laughed. Adrienne was just about to resume her journey to the front when the man jumped to his feet and punched her in the throat. Adrienne's space suit absorbed most of the damage but she found herself being restrained by her husband, just as a crewman pushed his way into the circle with an extendable baton raised.
"Both of you, get to the back of the line!" He shouted as another person twisted the Facilities Management guy's arm behind his back and shoved him forward.

Posted! Nice posts guys, i must say i'm extremely impressed by the very high quality all round!
No worries at all SC, there is no rush and i reckon you'll have stuff to do very soon indeed
If anybody wonder's why I'm not posting, I'm just waiting for a good chance for Dalry the cargo unloader to do something important

Clara and Director Ogilvie watched from the bay window in his office as the UWS Scythian dropped into view from orbit and delicately touched down on the spaceport’s biggest landing pad. The view was partially blocked by the terminal building but Clara could see a steady stream of people exiting their habitats and making their way to the landed ship. Some were bringing grav-lifters with them, probably in anticipation for the supply drop of aid supplies.
Clara checked her personal assistant device. There was a heck of a lot of chatter going on, with some colonists even filming the crewmen and troopers who were streaming from the cargo ramp. The Scythian looked even bigger up close, disappearing out of shot in all directions. Clara hadn’t seen that particular model before and it looked relatively unblemished so she guessed it was pretty fresh off the factory line.
A video call interrupted her feed, startling her slightly. It was her colleague Dr Gao. She accepted the call and the face of a middle aged man with his spacesuit helmet on but the visor off appeared. “Clara, did you feel that tremor? The site is going crazy right now, some kind of localised vibration which keeps coming and going. My readings are off the chart!” Clara looked at James, who motioned for her to go ahead and walked round to his desk. Clara put Dr Gao on loudspeaker and sat down on the sofa.
“Dentsu, slow down a second. What exactly is going on over there?”
“The dig site is waking up Clara, something is activating. I’m trying to figure out what's causing it but so far as i know there isn’t any internal stimuli that could be causing this.”
Clara looked at Director Ogilvie, who was making a face. She covered her view of Dr Gao with one hand and mouthed ‘what?’ to him.
“What about the ship?”. He mouthed back. Clara initially didn’t realise what he was implying but then it hit. He was suggesting that the Scythian was the outside stimuli. It was certainly a reach, but something about the UWG coming in here was so suspicious that she supposed anything was possible. She could think of one person, thing, that might know. Clara added RX3248’s consultant security AI, 0984-Thebes, to the comms line.
“Evening ma’am, how can i help?”
“Thebes, what is happening at Dr Gao’s location?”
“Low level P-Wave seismic activity, inside of a 1 mile subterranean vector.”
“How long has it been going on exactly?”
“Six minutes and fifty two seconds, or the same amount of time the UWS Scythian has been grounded on this moon.”
“Do you actually read my mind, Thebes?”
“No Ma’am, but we are alike in being suspicious of recent events.”
Clara nodded, then addressed Dentsu Gao.
“Stay put unless you guys are in danger, monitor the situation and ping me on my PA with any developments. We’re meeting the Scythian’s captain now.” Dr Gao nodded and disconnected.
“Thebes, see what you can find out about this UWS ship, and its crew.” Director Ogilvie added from his desk, just as a man and a woman in plain clothes but sporting military grade armor breastplates burst into the office. The woman hung back while the man approached and addressed them both.
“I understand you have uncovered something of potential interest to the United Worlds Government. I'm here to review and investigate your discovery.”
Under the man’s stare, and despite herself, Clara couldn’t help but nod. The man was undoubtedly a spook, confirming the suspicions of both herself and the Director. She snuck a look at James Ogilvie, who looked startled at the sudden intrusion and totally unprepared for this agent instead of the UWSC captain he’d been expecting. This had to be serious.
Clara looked at the Director, who hesitated before looking back at Loken who was looking at him as well. “Yeah well i uhh.. I guess that’s alright. Clara, please make sure the man gets whatever he needs. May i ask Agent Loken, who should i talk to about organising medical relief and food supplies for the inhabitants here? I assume the UWG sent us something?”
“That’s already being taken care of,” said Loken. “One of my corpsmen is seeing to the wounded below, and I’ve tasked some seamen to bring supplies to this building and, according to my commbead,” he said, tapping the device in his ear. “There’s some en route to your hospital as well.”
Ogilvie steeled himself slightly, walking round his desk. “Ah, fantastic. I’ll head down there now to help facilitate its distribution..."
Loken extended a hand, palm outwards, towards the director as he began to make his way towards the door. “I’ll have to ask you to remain here, director. Your assistant and my team will return shortly. Until then, I’m tasking two agents for your protection,” he said, activating his commbead. “Black, White, come to the administration building and keep an eye on the director while the rest of us recce this intel.”
The director looked at Loken, confused. “I thought those were their names?” he said. Loken glanced at him briefly. “They’re our brothers,” he said. “Please remain here, my team will keep you safe.” Safe from what he didn’t say, but Agents Black and White were already on their way to the office, while Loken gestured for Clara to lead on and then followed her from the office.

@Catharyn of course. Give me a minute.
Done gotta love stock photos lol
Thank you :) My IC post/collab with @ozymandias is nearly ready
Heya @fury panda, please could you find a non-anime picture for Dr Mia? I should have put that in the rules but in my mind, the characters either need to be all anime or all not. Sorry i should have told everyone sooner.
I'm back from work and am starting on my 2nd IC post now! Anybody have any questions or concerns so far?
Additionally, @conscripts you may want to collab with @themadasshatter on the end of your last IC post. By that i mean he can contribute his side of the conversation via PM so you can grant him permission to land all in one post rather than leave him with only one line of dialogue to work with. Sound good guys?
