Bio

I'm EchoicChamber, though I mostly go by Echo.
I'm in my twenties, and returned here on a whim.
I have no idea what's happening at any given moment.

@ColdAtlas Hello there! Would love to hear what kinds of horror you're into!
Oh, lovely! Feel free to send me a DM, then. I'm going to be clocking out for the night as I've got work tomorrow, but I'd love to hear more from you!
It's been a while.

Years ago, I used to roleplay pretty actively on this site. Out of nostalgia and boredom, I decided to shake off the rust and give this website a spin again. A good old-fashioned one on one seemed like a good start.

About Me:

I'm Echo, a twenty-something year old whose media preferences are wildly all over the place. I love anime like Dungeon Meshi and HunterxHunter, and am also a big horror fan. Way back in the day I loved Creepypasta, and these days I'm a fan of things like Old Gods of Appalachia, Scarlet Hollow, Fallen London, Mouthwashing, and gothic horror.

I work two writing heavy jobs at the moment, so unfortunately I can't promise you fifty paragraphs every post. I usually reserve my longer posts for introductions and for impact, but other than that I prefer shorter content. Short posts let me post quicker and keep my interest, and I have also reached a point in my RP career where I feel like, frankly, you don't need a wall of text to describe someone ordering a sandwich.

Most of my characters are women. I do a few outliers, but if you're looking for a dashing fellow to sweep your OC off their feet, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place.

In terms of activity, it varies. My jobs take a lot out of me sometimes, unfortunately. However, the more invested in things, the more active I generally tend to be, and I'm also very chill if my RP partner ends up inactive as well. Life comes first!
I also love being able to talk OOC and comment on stuff.

What I'm Looking For

I'll just get this out of the way and say that I'm looking to write with someone over the age of 18. I prefer writing and talking with people closer to my age.

However. I'm not interested in writing anything explicit, either. I'm open to writing the lead up and what happens immediately after, but I prefer to either fade to black or fade to blur for the in-between.

I don't really have any definite plots in mind right now, as I prefer to create plots that suit the OCs that are going to end up in them. If you have some plots in mind, that would be wonderful! I usually enjoy modern fantasy settings (or eldritch victorian), with a touch of horror (if not more). I'm also open to writing romance, and most of my characters are open to relationships with people regardless of gender. However, I'd prefer not to force a romance either, and am perfectly happy with a platonic dynamic. My OCs have their own preferences, and if the chemistry isn't there it isn't there.

I also don't mind just talking and hanging out if you're also a horror fan or interested in any related media! I enjoy meeting new people when I have the bandwidth for it.

Some things I like:

- Horror, of course. Gothic horror, eldritch horror, horror.

- Yanderes and toxic relationships. I write a yandere gal of my own, actually. I think there's something compelling about dynamics that are purposefully written to be kind of awful, and seeing what might develop from that. I have no interest in romanticizing toxicity, however. Yandere dynamics aren't romantic, they are another facet of horror, and I'd want to approach that in a self-aware way.

- Opposites attracting.

- Banter.

If I think of anything else to add here I'll add it. Until then, peace out.
Hey, I'm very sorry to do this out of the blue and after sliding in a sheet last minute, but unfortunately I think I'm going to have to bow out of this RP. I've been incredibly burnt out with work and some other responsibilities of mine, and it's been difficult to juggle all of the roleplays I'm in. I wish you all the best, and hope everyone has fun, though!
I'll also try to get my sheet in soon! My job dumped a lot of responsibilities on me recently, so I've been trying to get everything settled.
That was, actually, something that Colette could more easily find herself sympathizing with. Though she didn't have enough coin to drown a fluke in, boredom (and the avoidance of) had been behind many of her more ostentatious actions. Chasing after your whims kept life far more flavorful, after all. Even if it occasionally blew up in her face. Occasionally. At any rate, wasn't boredom the whole reason why she was joining in this whole contest anyway? It wasn't as if she was in desperate need of a palace for herself.

So, when Colette nodded, there was an understanding behind it. "Well," she said. "We can't be having /that/, can we? I-"

She frowned down at her misbehaving glove, giving it a gentle tap with her finger. "Hey. What've I said about biting strangers?" The glove, for its part, rolled its eyes, and gave a grumbling huff. Colette attempted, for a moment, a more stern expression, but the fond glint in her eye didn't do her any favors. She gave Avernius an apologetic look. "Sorry about that. He doesn't bite as hard as he used to, but he's still a real feisty one." She scratched it at a spot just at her wrist, which seemed to melt away any attitude the glove had.

She was distracted enough by this that it was fairly easy for Avernius to start pulling her along, though even then, Colette showed no signs of resistance. She let herself be led along, flicking a curious gaze down at her companion before scanning the crowd. "Cheers to that," she said, amiably. "I absolutely mean to brag, but I think I've got a good amount of brawn on me, and we've got the eye-candy covered between the two of us."

Her delivery was entirely matter-of-fact, with not a trace of humility- or even flirtatiousness- to be found. She may as well have been commenting on the colors of their hair.

"Might be good to pick up a scholar with us. Someone from the University, maybe, or-" Colette brightened. "Maybe even someone with an eye for the Correspondence? Could come in handy."
"Must've been real torture," Colette assented. She liked this Lord Valentine, she decided. She often liked a lot of socialites- not the kind with ramrod straight backs and a habit of scoffing and sneering if you so much as set your spoon in the wrong place, but the more...detached was probably a good word for it. Yes. Detached, from the world of your every-day worker and zailor and honest-to-goodness tradesmen. Their world was ages away from where Colette herself lived, and she found them all the more delightful for it. It added variety to the world, and the people she usually associated herself with. And what was variety, if not the spice of life?

Colette returned Avernius' bow with one of her own, sweeping her hat from her head and holding it for a moment to her chest. "Captain Colette Lovette. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, m'lord." The hat was promptly returned to its rightful place as she straightened, and then offered a gloved hand for the man to shake. It was a gamble on whether he'd actually take it or not, but however he reacted, it'd tell her a lot more about the type of noble Mr. Valentine was.

She was well aware of the din that was growing around them. Once she'd wrapped up her introductions with Valentine, she was half-tempted to plant a few rumors of her own, here and there. Nothing major, of course. Maybe something about Devils, or the Masters. Both were mysterious enough that people believed just about anything you had to say about them.

But that would come later. The present came first.

"Looks like there's gonna be a lot of competition," she noted. "You planning on working with a team, or are you gonna try and go it alone?"
I feel like that one meme with the lady crying as she's getting offered five different plates of pancakes, but I felt I might as well voice interest in this setting as well.
@LuckyBlackCat I'm down!
@TheNoCoKid Also, I'll try and get my intro in soon. I have a very writing intensive job and I'm involved in probably way too many RPs for my own good, so it's a bit of a juggling act.
