♀ Lyla's Interest Check ♀

Hello fellow travelers. It's been a while since I've been around and have that all familiar pull to roleplay and create stories with others again. For this particular interest check, I am asking for help. Due to some of my unique hurdles (which I'll explain further down if you want to know), I have had limited success in GMing a successful roleplay while at the same time, I am having trouble finding a roleplay that I feel I would do well in. That's where you come in! If you decide to read everything and know of a roleplay that might suit me well or you're willing to GM a roleplay for me (or others if you want - I'm not against group roleplays in the least), please reply here or DM me if that's more comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

❅ Preferences ❅

  • Genres & Themes: I am currently seeking a roleplay where I can roleplay a character that helps me feel empowered. I personally tend to use roleplay as a sort of self therapy. So I will generally want a place where I can feel my character has some measure of power or control over what's going on while being supported.
    • Fantasy: Anything from the traditional fantasy with medium or high magic to steampunk-like worlds. I do adore airships.
    • Superhero: Especially in line with the empowerment I'm seeking, this is a great setting to pursue and I've always been a sucker for superhero shows and movies.
    • Sci-Fi: Less so than fantasy, but I do enjoy a good sci-fi story for sure - especially when I can explore things like a world-wide net, threatening the entire galaxy, or AIs.

❣ More Information ❣

For those wondering what may have sparked this strange request or want to know more about my unique challenges, this is where I'll speak about them and I'm okay being vulnerable about who I am. I am autistic and so one of my rather big disadvantages is that social norms don't make a lot of sense to me (such as, "perception is everything" has never made any sense to me) and I tend to use language a bit more literally than others so some metaphors are also lost on me. Mind you, I love who I am, but like everyone else I have my strengths and weaknesses. Another part is that I am diagnosed with PTSD, Generalized Anxiety, and Persistent Depressive Disorder and happen to be on disability because I need a caregiver to help me with certain tasks in my life. Roleplaying helps me work through and experience things I could not in my real life. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Otherwise, I hope to make some new friends. ^^
@AWACS Approved, go ahead and move her to the CS tab!

@Lucky - Very well done! Great example. ^^ Approved, but give me a moment before you post in the character tab. I'll let you know on discord!
@Sylvan@Lucky & anyone else, your wish is my command. ^_^

@Lucky I'm pretty relaxed but keeping it fairly sci-fi would be preferable. ^_^ I happen to be a big fan of cyberpunk, but not a big fan of "everything is going to shit" all the time, haha. I plan on running a group of 4-5 as that's my preference as well! I can make a discord server, if everyone wants one. ^_^
@Lucky Hello and welcome! Glad to see someone else excited about this! Nice to meet you. ^_^

1) The "stats" weren't really planned exactly. I was more thinking of things I would like to know about the character to help them fit into the roleplay or present unique challenges for them. First and foremost, they need to be 100% accurate, but if you want to include a flavor answer from your character please do! Realistically, no one should be 10 across the board, since even aliens are mortals and have failings afterall. Conflict breeds roleplay and it's difficult to have that conflict without weaknesses!

2) Yes, it's like inception in that way. ^_^ I would say their VR selves would be similar to their real life looks, but can deviate a little from it if they want. If there are special reasons for their looks to deviate extremely from their real looks, put it in the character sheet as a special request. ^_^ I'm pretty relaxed.
@Sylvan Absolutely - again, it's more about moving the story forward. Give enough that myself and others can work with and respond to and it'll be dandy. Just avoid the pitfall of describing someone standing around for a whole post... for example, include facial expressions, ticks, micro expressions, things that other could pick up and respond to out loud or silently. ^_^
