Bio
Been writing for years. Waiting for the day that I get "good" at it.
What I expect of you:
1. Common courtesy. I haven’t run into many unkind people on here, but kindness is only one part of courtesy. I also expect that you will make a decent attempt to answer my OOC questions/comments. I would appreciate a heads up (if possible) if you are going to be unavailable for an extended period of time. Finally, if you are bored of our game, just say so. I wear my big boy pants most days.
2. Thick skin is an absolute must. If I make a suggestion that something in our RP doesn’t make sense, or if I have to tell you that things just aren’t working out, please don’t be a drama queen. I promise not to be a jerk about it.
3. I would appreciate only people over the age of 18 contacting me.
4. By no means do I believe myself to be an awesome writer, but it would be great if you are as good as or better than me. Looking back over the years, I realize that my writing ability grew the most when I was matched with a superior writer. Since I’m looking to improve myself, you’ll understand why I’m so picky.
What you can expect of me:
1. I am fairly literate and I make an effort to proofread my IC posts. Though don’t be surprised if my OOC communication isn’t as polished.
2. I can commit to being available three times a week at least. I typically prefer to be online for longer periods of time and to get a lot of RP’ing done at once. But I recognize that’s not easy between differing schedules and time zones. Speaking of which, I am in EST.
3. I will happily contribute to plot and setting planning. That being said if I’m not careful I tend to take things over. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down on details and decisions that you feel strongly about. Besides, I appreciate someone who is just as active as I am in contributing ideas.
4. I can play either gender and typically prefer my main character to be male. **HOWEVER** If you have a habit of telling people, “Sorry, I really only want to (can) play female” then please don’t bother contacting me. I feel it shows a serious lack of creativity to limit yourself to one gender. Besides, playing multiple characters is almost always required if the RP is going to have any depth to it whatsoever.
Preferred Platforms: It seems the platform of choice around here is PM. That’s fine with me. However, I am most interested in doing an RP over TitanPad or a similar program. TitanPad is really cool because it allows us to type in real time to each other in a streamlined document. In addition, there is a live text box to the side of our main document that is perfect for OOC chat. If you’re not familiar with this platform but are curious, let me know. It’s really easy to learn how to use and of course it’s free (you don’t even need to make an account).
Genres and Settings: Things I don’t like Anime Most Fandoms Slice of Life Steampunk Dystopian Society
Things I like a lot Post-Apocalypse Historical Time-travel Wartime
(Rough) Potential Plots: I am currently interested in doing a “woman thrown back in time” type of RP. The year/setting is flexible but I think I’d be most interested in Norse, Medieval, Roman, Greek, Hebrew, Western.
I am always up for a good post-apocalyptic RP. The focus can be heavily upon the element of survival, or it can be more political such as in the case freedom fighting or territory wars.
If after reading all this you are still interested send me a PM with the following… 1. A sample of your writing 2. Your current time zone 3. Preferred platform (PM, Titan Pad, E-mail) 4. What kind of RP you are most excited about 5. What type of character you would potentially like to play
Hey there, @Partisan suggested me to check this rp. So far so good! Is there room for more people? I am able to accomodate a variety of ideas to help rounding the team.
Yay, more people! I think we established earlier that we could use a tank/brute. But whatever you want is fine of course.
Yeah also a man of his possition would have them many enemies. Cause if he was to meet an unfortunate end, well there are many would have to fill in the hole left by him. As such he would have to choose carefully whom he meets.
This is a really good point. Hadn't thought of that. Some people the Consano meet may be totally unwilling to help just because he is associated with us.
She sounds... depressed. More so than I anticipated from her CS..
Well, she did just loose her husband a few days ago. Hmmm, maybe I should update my CS to reflect this a bit more. The other side of this is her guilt. After all, she was kinda pleased to hear about this plague because she thought she could be the hero and further the COL's cause through it. Instead she lost her childhood sweetheart. I can imagine she would be experiencing a mixture of guilt, anger, and depression.
Am I being too dark and serious with this?
Also, I agree. A man like "The Master" is someone with a strong reputation who is probably known to some extent by most. Even if its just his name and people know him to be THE KingPin or Mafia Head (metaphorically speaking)
And Karen worships a goddess from a far away land, a goddess of night and sinners to be specific :3 Lot's of possibilities to interract. Like hey Sarah could try to convert Karen to the church of light.
There may be some attempts at conversion. But again, she's going to be a bit bitter at the start and likely will be trying to hold onto her own faith rather than convert others. Then again... It could be a form of projection for her to attempt converting others when its really herself who needs to be convinced.
We can take that extra week to think of additional subplots, relationships between characters, maybe even a shared history? Given that for example we have a Church of Light lady who went to the North to spread the faith.. it is unlikely but not impossible that Gawain and her have met at one point. Right? :P
It's possible. But I'm not sure what the extent of their relationship would be had they met prior. Sarah is a bit of a radical and very uncompromising. Gawain worships gods from both religions. This is something Sarah would find hypocritical and would openly condemn if her opinion was asked. Maybe even if it wasn't. Of course, this would have been prior to her widowhood. She's going to be rather shaken in her faith at least initially in this RP.
Not unless you really want a second character. The only reason I have two is because [SENTENCE REDACTED].
Well good, I always think it's difficult playing more than one major character since it's super likely that the two characters will need to react to each other on a regular basis.
In reference to the argument, as Rivaan stated, we worked it out via PM. Thank you for the moderation however. As far as GOT goes, please don't spoil it! I am behind by two episodes and I'm only 1/3 way through the fifth book.
Religion is something I prefer not to argue/discuss about - it's finicky and unstable because deeds of one in the name of religion do not always coincide with the wants and wishes of the rest. As such you should condone the witchhunts themselves and see religion as a mere.. tool, to achieve these hunts. It doesn't mean religion is evil.
It means people are.
This comment explains why I find Rivaan's original post offensive. Acts committed by a few in the name of religion should not be a reflection of the religion itself. If someone wants to judge a religion, I suggest picking up the texts associated with that religion and performing an incredibly detailed and thorough study.
If someone holds that the acts of an individual can be used to judge a faith, then how about we spend some time talking about all the (far more common) good the Church did during the Dark Ages, feeding the poor, healing the sick, funding public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, ect), providing sanctuary, and last but not least, containing and caring for those infected by plague when others were too terrified to go near them.
But I suppose all of those things are less sensationalized and therefore too boring to mention. Should we instead simply say "The church wasn't on its best behavior... these sound like the kinds of people I kill in video games"?
Well I will apologize to anyone with a problem with my comment there. But everyone must admit that the church wasn't exactly on its good behavior during the dark ages.
So you apologize, but you are not wrong.... is that what I should take from this comment?
