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
Name: David Buhr Age: 28 Nationality: American Ethnicity: German Descent Sex: Male Height: 6’ 0” (1.82m) Weight: 175lbs (80kg) Eye Color: Dark Brown Hair Color: Chestnut Brown Physical Disabilities: None Physical Identifiers
Beard
Rough, calloused hands
Light birthmark under his left eye
Wears a chain around his neck with a set of wedding rings
Appearance: David is a man of slightly larger than average build. His affinity for junk food is majorly offset by the physical requirements of his blue-collar job. His brown hair is thick and would be quite wavy if he were ever to let it grow out. The rest of his body is also covered in a generous amount of hair. He has a round, button nose, square jaw line, and tall forehead. His teeth have been well cared for. His hands are rough and a bit dark around the fingertips. Finally, David is without tattoos or piercings.
David was born and raised with his younger sister in the state of Washington by his conservative parents. His life was relatively stable in a middle-class white neighborhood. Like most teenage guys, David spent his time playing sports (baseball in particular) and video games. When graduation time came up, David applied to a community college at the insistence of his parents, although he only attended part-time. David found college tedious and the debt he incurred was frustrating. As monotonous as the work was, he preferred his days spent working at the tire factory. Though he had no idea what he planned to do with a degree in general studies, there was one saving grace to higher education: Lisa. David fell head over heels for Lisa when they met at a home game. Every moment of free time was spent upon her and though his grades suffered, David was happier than he had ever been.
A year later the pair were engaged, and David was on the brink of academic probation. He dropped out of college and began working on the line full time. Since he was frugal, David reasoned that he could provide better doing what came naturally to him. Before long he had purchased a modest home north of Seattle. Lisa was quietly accepting of this plan, or so he thought. Weeks before their wedding date, his fiance informed him that she was not willing to “resign herself to a mediocre life”. Despite his desperate promises to change, the wedding was off. Within a month David learned that Lisa was with someone new. He was devastated.
Six years later, at the age of twenty-eight, David still works at the tire factory. He doesn’t complain and has an excellent attendance record. Free hours are spent at home in front of his television screen playing games or watching sports. He has a good friend, Paul, who occasionally takes him out. But David has never been interested in taking chances with women again. Instead he makes himself comfortable in the home that would have his and Lisa’s.
First-aid kit (Includes 6 quick-heal patches in various sizes)
Compass/Binoculars
Wrinkled map of Seattle
Spare pair of jeans & long-sleeve shirt
3 Days dry food ration
Rain poncho
1 Spare lighter
2 Walkie-Talkies (Need 9volt batteries)
Toothbrush/Bar Soap/Wash Cloth
25’ Rope (7.5m)
3.5 packs of cigarettes
A handful of photographs
Travel sewing kit
Hand crank flashlight
Pockets
Lighter
Utility knife
Pill bottle with 8 10.16mm rounds
Pen/Chalk
Leather wallet containing an ID, 1 Photo of “Kelly”, and 1 Photo of “Lisa”
Skills:
Stamina: David is used to hard labor that lasts all day, every day. On the upper margins of average size, a brigand might seek out an easier target.
Basic Survival: David’s father often took him on extended back-packing trips into the mountains. During this time, David learned some survival and sustenance techniques.
Universal Donor: David has an 0- blood type.
Talents:
Wisdom: David is good at recognizing when his opinion is required and when it is not. If he cannot reconcile himself with a friend, he will distance himself rather than fight it out. This has kept him out of trouble and many unnecessary disputes.
Clean-Cut: David has lived life on the straight and narrow. Some may say that he is a bit boring. Still, this has lead to a remarkable lack of baggage.
Other Disabilities:
Hermit: After losing his fiance to a nasty break-up, David has spent the past several years as a relative recluse (much to his mother’s dismay). With no strong emotional relationships outside of his family and best friend, David has a hard time connecting with others.
@Aeonumbra Sorry, I just get used to military time for work. Also I find it the preferred method of telling time in many other countries. I'll use standard time for now.
