Still looking for more tigers.

UN/Alive-Real (18+) (Temporarily Closed)

@ERode Reality dissociation sounds like a trip. Send me a PM and we can hash out details if that's the plot you want to do.

UN/Alive-Real (18+) (Temporarily Closed)

I recently read a status update where someone said the only way to get good partners was to make an interest check. I feel there’s something wrong with that logic but I thought I’d try it anyway. Glad you stopped by all the same.

I'm not looking for more tigers at this time. But you can send me a message if you'd like to chat a bit.

Tigers are:

Eighteen or older

^{Sorry cubs.}

Willing to communicate, especially if they can't post for a while

^{I prize communication ability above all else, even writing skill. Tell me when you're going to be away or if you're dropping an RP. I’d also like to discuss things as they progress.}

Fine posting in PMs

^{It's a matter of convenience. Sometimes abiding forum rules. I’m a vandal but I'd rather not get thrown out.}

Enjoys some adult content

^{Adult themes in particular. Existential dread and what it means to be alive will be core themes in the roleplays I want to do. Things might get a little dark. I’m fine with other forms of adult content but that can be discussed in PMs.}

Willing to plan

^{I don't do quick start role plays. Discussion is important to make sure everyone gets to write what they want and temper expectations.}

My preferred posting speed is once or twice a week.

For these roleplays I want to play a character that is not alive/real. A zombie, android, something along those lines. They may seem alive but they are an imitation of what a person is. I think it would be fun to play them alongside a living counterpart. This doesn’t mean that your character needs to be a human. I’m fine with you picking a fantasy/sci-fi race if that’s more your cup of tea. My preferred setting is modern but I could go more fantasy/futuristic if that works better. Though I would prefer if magic or advanced technology was rare or inaccessible to most people. I'll likely play a female but you can play as whatever you wish. Will mention I like to GM but am open to more collaborative endeavors as well.

Plots are below. Please send me a PM if something catches your eye.

Zombie

You’re having a perfectly normal day. You’d forget it in a week if you hadn’t encountered someone done up head to toe in zombie makeup. It’s a little early for Halloween but they want to take shelter at your flat. She’s too cute to turn down. A little gruff maybe, but you’re nice. Only it becomes evident that they are a real zombie after you spend some time together. But she has no desire to eat your brains or anything like that. Apparently she’s a servant of a dead necromancer who wants to finish her master’s last wish. You spend time helping each other out. She helps you out with your projects, and you help her out with hers. One day she needs your help getting a car working. The next she has you setting up a driving course with her. It doesn’t become obvious what the two of you are preparing for until later. It’s a little scary. Not to mention immoral.

But you’re torn. On one hand, They’re your friend and you feel compelled to help them. But they’re also dead. This might be someone's final wish but they aren't going to be around to see it. What do you do?

Dream Demon

You haven’t had a dream in years. Sleep is just an empty void that serves to rest your body for the next day. But one day you have a dream about an attractive woman. She informs you that you’re in a dream and proceeds to ask you what you’d like to do. You could pursue your dream job, go on an adventure, or do just about anything. The situation is a little unusual and she’s a stranger. You decide to do something less personal with her. But it does turn out to be a dream and you may have missed your chance to do something extraordinary. But it’s alright. You meet her again the next time you go to sleep. As you do the next night and the night after that. After years without dreams you seem to be having them every night now. All with the same guide.

But you want answers. Talking with the self-proclaimed succubus leads you no closer to the truth. You start to do some investigating in the real world to figure out what’s going on. Is someone projecting themselves into your dreams? Is this all caused by drugs? Something else? Once you find out the truth will you want to keep seeing her?

AI

A loved one passes away. Months pass but it doesn’t feel like you’ll ever get over them. But you’re in luck because a new scientific breakthrough promises to relieve you of your misery. Some scientists drew your name from a lottery and want to resurrect this precious life that you miss so much. They’re going to collect videos, pictures, audio samples, samples from your memory, their diary, everything they left a mark on. Then they’re going to load all of this data into an AI that can accurately replicate them. Impressive on its own, but then it can be loaded into a life-like automaton. It will be indistinguishable from the real thing.

But it won’t be the real thing. How important is that to you? How important is that to it?

I might have a more kinky idea hidden somewhere. But where could it be?

Character Interview Questions

A woman in black leather with equally dark hair took a seat. She sheathed her swords and folded one leg over the other. Shiko was ready for her interview.

What do you like to do for fun?

"I’d say my job gives me quite a bit of satisfaction but even I need to unwind after a day of mutant slaying. I’ll go to some hole in the wall to drink and socialize. Maybe hit up a nightclub if I feel like dancing. If I don’t feel like being around people I’ll be training with my dog."

What qualities do you like in a person?

"Not being total bottom feeders is a good start. I don’t think I’ve met many people I consider attractive. If you can refuse a bribe and have ironclad determination you’re a keeper in my book. A sense of humor goes a long way too."

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

"I wish I could open up to people easier. But it’s really easy to be crooked and I never found trusting people easy. We all want something and once we get it we go our separate ways.."

If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

"I’d love to see the pyramids in Egypt one day. But who am I kidding? I could never leave New York in the state it’s in."

What is your favorite food, and why?

"Hotdogs and hamburgers. They taste good and they’re cheap."

When do you do your best work? In other words are you an early bird or a night owl?

"I hardly sleep. The cover of darkness is where most of my prey hide. That’s usually where I do my work. "

Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

"Dad. Mom was good but dad taught me what justice was. If he didn’t tell me about our justice system I’d probably be bagging groceries right now."

What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?

"Vengeance."

How do you feel about your family?

"I love ‘em. I already mentioned dad, but mom’s the reason why I’m not bitter about everything. Can’t forget about my brother either. Fuyuyoshi and I have always been close. Does Yipper count? The family dog has got to be part of the family unit."

Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?

"We meet and we depart. The difference is my allies get to walk away and my enemies bleed out in a dumpster."

What's your pet peeve?

"Smug assholes? I don’t know. I try not to let people bother me."

After a stressful day, what calms you down?

"Knowing that they’ll never hurt anyone again."

What is your favorite animal?

"Dogs. I don’t hate cats though. I have a special place in my heart for tigers."

What are your hobbies?

"I think everyone likes to play on computers. I also like to play with my motorcycle. Drive it around, tune it up, I enjoy every moment we’re together."

If you suddenly came into a lot of money, what would you spend it on?

"Everything I want or need is cheap. I’d use whatever I needed for the moment and donate the rest to the police department."

How much time do you have left to live?

"I plan on living forever. So far so good."

What would you dress up as for Halloween, or your world's equivalent thereof?

"People already think I'm wearing a Halloween costume. Maybe I’ll dress up as something normal like a cashier at Wal-Mart."

What is your favorite scent?

"My brother will tell you it's my own farts but he's wrong. It's the smell of daffodils. Though I'd argue my farts can smell like that sometimes."

What's your favorite season?

"People come to New York just to see the autumn season. You won’t taste better apples anywhere else in the country."

Who do you consider closest to you?

"My dog, Yipper."

What power do you desire the most?

"I have the power to vanquish evil. Do I need anything else?"

What are you most afraid of?

"Not being strong enough to finish the fight."

What would it take to get you to commit murder?

"I kill a lot of things but that’s just extermination. But if I thought the world was better off without them I’d do it. Wouldn’t even feel guilty about it."

What is your personal definition of love?

"When you trust your back to them. There aren’t a lot of people I love."

Do you collect anything?

"I use to collect cool looking trash. I don’t really collect anything anymore. Maybe a token from a target I’m proud to have eliminated.."

What advice would you have for your younger self?

"You’re on the right track kid, keep it up."

If it was to protect something, someone or the world- for any reason whatsoever- would you suffer any punishment? Would you sacrifice yourself to save someone or something else?

"Only if I thought they were worth it."

If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend it?

"Like I do all the others."

What are your favorite songs?

"There’s too many good ones to pick. Twisted Sister’s ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It,’ Def Lepard's ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me,’ but my very favorite is ‘Eye of the Tiger’ by Survivor. They made some good rock in the nineties too."

"What was the most dangerous thing you did as a kid?”

Ayo

It's like how two negatives become a positive. Funny to see you slap back, Vandal, and welcome to the Guild!

Just don't hijack or necro any actual interest checks, and we're all gooddddd.

@ERode

Multiplication babyyyyyyyy! And this looks like the first serious greeting I've gotten. You seem like a lot of fun; I'll be keeping an eye out for you in the future.

I may be a vandal, but just for defunct welcome threads. Anyone would vandalize a brick wall, but only a true animal would deface a mural.

Ayo

OP has been offline for ten days. I really don't think they mind. And wouldn't it be worse if I "hijacked" an active thread where the poster was still around to read welcomes? Anyway, it's a shame none of you guys were here to greet poor @johnys1245. They might have stayed if they knew you cared about his thread.

Ayo

There are enough topics here, why create another one?

Good evening, folks. I have a few different names, but if Hungry Vandal is too long for you, Hungry, Vandal, or Val are all acceptable alternatives. I'm not too picky about names. I'm in my thirties and have been writing for the past fifteen or so years on forums. I try to aim for about five-hundred to a thousand words per post, and I tend to post a few times a week to a week depending on how hot it is outside.

When I'm not writing, I'm usually browsing Artstation or Pixiv for images, watching youtube videos, or working... But I'm not here to talk about that last one!

I may be the Hungry Vandal, but I'm just feeling a bit peckish right now. Not looking for anything fast or long term for the moment. I do have an original character of mine that I would be interested in playing again. Something that feels like an 80's noir comic book. Though I'll at least consider anything that's presented.

the alphabet game. lol
