Bio
HI THERE~!
Thank you for visiting my profile!
You can call me Destiny. I am a 26-year-old pansexual woman from the USA who has been roleplaying since 2007. I got my start on a Kingdom Hearts fan-forum, and now here I am! My roleplaying interests include slice-of-life, romance, drama, fantasy, and anime fandom. Did I mention I am a HUGE otaku? :D
I write at a high-casual/advanced level as far as the amount of content I write per-post, but I'm not into flowery language most of the time. My writing is very simple, with a lot of the focus being on the characters and how their thoughts and feelings are developing. Realism is the name of my game! This stems from the fact that, when I am not roleplaying or slaving away for a large technology conglomerate at my day job, I am working on plays and films as a professional actress. With this being my passion, it's quite literally my job to pick apart each character's brain to find the motivation behind their words and actions. I'm just saying, that kind of obsession shows in my writing.
For my partners, I mostly do 1x1 RPs unless a group really catches my eye. I expect 2-3 paragraphs per post and prefer those who can respond at least once a day. Original stories catch my eye more than fandoms, but I don't rule anything out until I've tried it- trust me, if something's not working I'll let you know. I do not write smut, but if it is story-driven I will consider 18+. I'm really not picky; these are just guidelines for how to *guarantee* I will love our RP! I've been surprised before!
A fair warning in advance: I'm also a little crazy. I am diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression, so if I am feeling off I may just stop responding. My mental health does come first. Rest assured, I will pick up the pieces and clear my head enough to reply soon. I use my writing as an outlet, so I can never stay away more than a couple of days. That being said, my Guild partners are my family. Y'all have helped me through the worst times of my life and continue to remind me why I'm still alive on this Earth. So just know that I am here to do the same for any of you, even if we've just met. :)
Anywho, if this sounds like your thing then shoot me a PM! I swear I'm friendly, albeit a little strange, and I don't bite (hard)! <3
@joeycbee Oh, I just noticed that too... Was actually a woman yelling at Cammie. ^^" Not sure if that will affect your post, or we can say her husband was yelling, too. I kinda like the confrontation because Cammie's gonna freak out haha!
@sakurasan@joeycbee Daaaaang... I was wondering how others in the mall might react to bad customers, but that was awesome! xD At least they've all got each other's backs lol.
"You claim-jumping-son-of-a-bird-dog! You're so dumb that you licked a fire hydrant with your back end by mistake and still got stuck! How did you get the first three horrors of the world free long enough to get here before me you jack-rabbit-kissing-sack-of-excrement-water!"
Once they had grabbed the equipment, Cammie dragged him back to Sports Galore where she showed him the mess. He seemed to be a bit irritated, and she had figured he would be. He was a handyman after all... not a plumber. She pressed her palms together in apology. "I-I'm sorry, Sora-kun!" She exclaimed. "Normally I'd just take care of it, but all of the kids come after their sports practices for us to fix their equipment - we're going to be busy and I still need to finish stocking some shelves in the front. I promise promise PROMISE I will make this up to you, in addition to your pay!"
She hurried to the door and then suddenly stopped, turning to face him with a radiant smile. "Let me know if you need anything, okay?" And with that, she ran out to mind the store. It was a bummer she didn't get to really eat lunch or stop by Tachibana Tailoring before her shift started, but the manager really hadn't gotten everything done that she thought needed to be, that morning. A couple kids had already made it to the store from their practices, so Cammie quickly finished stocking the baseball gloves and then went to the counter to help receive requests while the manager worked on them in the back. Another employee would arrive soon to help manage the sales floor, but for now Cammie would have to do that, too. She greeted the different students with smiles and even hugged some of her friends that stopped by. The entire time, a bright smile was plastered on her face. She flitted from customer to customer and back to the register, doing her best to help them all find what they needed. It was a true joy to her to match each person with the perfect equipment they were looking for. She was proud to work at a store that was so well-run.
Even so, customers began to get impatient. The manager always under-staffed to save money, and Cammie was so exhausted from practice that she had trouble keeping up with the orders. "I'm sorry, what was the name on that jersey, again?" She asked an older woman who was there with her young son. "Oh my GOD! Are you deaf?!?! I already said it twice! KI-RI-HA-NA!" The customer had begun yelling loudly at her, and Cammie did her best to keep her composure. She seemed completely calm and collected on the outside, even though she was terrified inside. "Yes... Absolutely. Could you please spell it for me?" That was something they asked every customer, just to be sure since the printing couldn't be undone once it was on, but the customer was unhappy about it. "What?! It's simple kanji! Can't you get someone who speaks f*cking JA-PA-NESE to run your registers? I've already been here for fifteen minutes, just to place a simple order!" Cammie gave her a small nod. "I'm sorry for any inconvenience, ma'am... I just want to make your son's jersey the absolute best it can be. If you could just please-..."
"You know what? NO! I've already been waiting so long! And I told you the name - THREE TIMES! What is so difficult about this?!" The manager surely heard this confrontation even way in the back, but she did nothing to come resolve the situation so Cammie did all she could to pacify the customer on her own. There were about ten people waiting behind her to be helped, but she couldn't get to them until this customer was satisfied. It was stressful, but she kept a friendly smile on her face and showed deep caring in her eyes. "I understand you must be frustrated. I apologize. But I do need the spelling of the name..."
Cinera sighed and plopped down on a nearby bench, giving up hope of finding Delcastle in this mess. It's gotten so busy... More and more players are starting to find their way here. It really was about time they got moving. After staying near Bull's Run for a few weeks and operating out of the town, the slower players had begun to head here from the Town of Beginnings and set up camp. A lot of the hunting ground near the city was constantly wiped clean, even in the evenings. Their gathering often lead them out further and further into the wilderness, making their trips more straining on their group. Staying in the forest helped, but even then they needed to stay close to a safe zone in case anything happened. They had managed to explore a lot of the forest because of this, and they found many better hunting spots, but better gains didn't make the trips any easier. To be honest, Cinera was glad for the brief break and was ready to move onto a new area with better drops that they didn't have to waste their stamina running miles to attain.
Cinera opened the new PM from Delcastle and found herself chuckling, a bit. A picnic spot? I didn't think he was the type to enjoy picnics... After all, he had been nothing but business when it came to the guild. The only times she had ever seen him slow down was when he was helping her get her act together. Even super-skilled guild leaders needed a break, she supposed.
SOUNDS GREAT! I'M ON MY WAY OVER.
She made sure to let him know since she was on the opposite side of town from the inn - it would take only a couple minutes to get there, but she hated keeping others waiting. Delcastle would probably want the guild to stay there tonight, so Cinera wrote a note on her log to pick up the campsite before they checked into their rooms. Then she made her way to the inn, walking calmly through the town. My stamina is still pretty depleted from earlier... I'll have to train even harder to build that up, too. She didn't realize it, but she had recently become critical of everything she did. Her biggest fear was letting the guild down; if she wasn't strong enough, she wouldn't be able to protect and support everyone the way she wanted to. I won't let my body limit me, like before...
When she got to the inn, Cinera heaved a big sigh and removed her cloak. There were so many people in here, it was pretty warm. Her eyes darted eagerly around until she found Delcastle sitting in the corner. "Hi!" She waved happily as she ran up to him, only to suddenly notice Mai'lo standing at the table. Oh! I was wondering where he went... Even at this thought, though, she felt her heart sink a little when she saw him there, too. I wonder why..."Hey, Mai'lo!" She said with a broad smile. Although she still felt bad about her poor mental state when they first met, Cinera thought things were going pretty well with her guild mates. They all seemed like very kind and trustworthy people, and they got along very well. The only thing was that she hadn't gotten to know them very well, since they didn't fight together as often, anymore. The monsters were too weak to need group fights anyway, but still... Mai'lo was still a bit of a mystery to her.
Having greeted everyone present, Cinera sat down next to Delcastle and gave a bit of a sigh. Man, it felt nice to finally just relax... "Awwh, you ordered without us? Man, you're impatient... But I guess I can forgive you just this once." She teased him playfully, laughing a little. It had been awhile since their guild had met. Not everyone was here, but she was sure they would all see each other at some point, tonight. Pulling up a menu, Cinera ordered herself a drink and then closed it once again. "Oh, uhm... I'm sorry I couldn't go hunting with you all earlier. But I really am feeling a lot better!" She smiled at both of them, nervously. Cinera had never been the best at hiding things, but so far they hadn't seemed to catch on so she felt like she was in the clear. She was so blissfully unaware that she even had a leaf caught in her hair from being thrown, earlier. She could be smart and strong, but sometimes she was just so naive.
"Anyway. Tell us about the gorge, Delcastle! I've only heard a little about it around town... Mai'lo, have you heard anything?" She looked at him, wondering. Any information they could get would be helpful. They've kind of had ears all over the place, so maybe that could come in handy.
In a flash, the young girl pushed off the wall of the gorge and flung herself at an enormous beetle - the kind you wouldn't ever see in real life! Her red hair glinted in the sunlight as she smashed into this new enemy, ripping through it like butter with an ace that was twice her size. A laugh escaped from her light pink lips as she landed on the ground where the beetle once was. "Damn right! You better STAY DEAD!" She took off running as she giggled gleefully, smashing her way easily through more and more beetles as they came her way. This was actually pretty enjoyable, for her. See, granddad...? I'll be just fine out here without you... Her movements weren't fast, but they were effective, and within just a few minutes she had beat quite a few of them.
"Break time!" Sighing, she jumped up onto the edge of the gorge where there were no monsters and sat, giving herself time to breathe. This had been a busy day for her... She had gotten up early to go hunting, but she ended up running into that old geezer. Just seeing him made her body tingle with rage. I still can't believe he followed me in here. How stupid can you get? Just playing the same games as me isn't gonna make up for it... A forlorn expression rested on her face for a moment as she gazed out over the gorge. Suddenly, she realized what she was doing and flushed an angry red. Why am I even thinking about him?!?! I bet he's off with his stupid guild doing stupid things! ARRRGH!"
ScarletRain was the username of this young hothead, but she liked to go by the name Scarlet. They had been trapped in this death game for two weeks now, and not once had she joined a guild... yet she was already level 14. Being an avid gamer made things like this so much easier. Normally, Scarlet got along with her grandfather just fine. They both had a mutual silence between them that she had come to love and respect. After all, in reality she was rejected for her unsupressed personality, so she got in less trouble when she just kept her mouth shut. She had thought that her grandfather's silence towards her was his way of saying he understood how difficult it was for her, but apparently that wasn't the case since he felt the need to follow her into her safe haven. She didn't want to 'talk' or 'get to know him'... She just wanted a place where she could belong. Family had been rooted out of that equation long ago.
Even still... Scarlet did feel like things were lagging, lately. Her once grand composure of smashing through the threats had slowly turned into nights spent crying alone in her room at the inn. She didn't know why she would cry, but sometimes her chest would feel heavy and she would feel a sort of ache in her stomach. It happened more often, lately... I can't let it get me down! I need to keep moving... Even though she wasn't quite rested, Scarlet jumped to her feet and jumped back into the gorge, recklessly. Her thoughts were driving her wild. Being a solo player was fine for professionals, but when you're 15 years old? Scarlet would never admit it, but she kind of just wanted her mom.
@sakurasan Make me in charge of it? I mean, I can cue you when it seems like it's time to shift, but with RPs like this it's best to let the time shifts happen naturally. Otherwise you miss really good opportunities. For instance, what if two people have characters who are in the middle of an important, deep conversation, but it's been the scheduled two days so we say "ok time to jump"? They miss out on the rest of the story that was building there.
By letting the time shift naturally, I mean just jumping when everyone seems stagnant or bored. Other RPs I have done always ran more efficiently that way.
Another option is to let everyone be in whatever time they want and just label our posts with what time we're in (ex: Day 1, morning). I am in another RP that works really well this way, because players can take their time with their characters, and if they get bored they can do their own time jump to where other characters are. :)
But again, these are just suggestions. You can run your RP however you like. I just wanted to let you know we felt kind of rushed. ^^"
