An Eternity of Options in the 41st Millennium

Introductions!

Hello reader! You are likely here because you're looking for something new and different. You might be here because you got the reference I made in the title. You might even be here simply because you're curious. Whatever the case, I welcome you!

Who am I? Well, that is a very large question, despite the actual size of the statement. Who I am is not a very easy thing to answer, completely, in a small space. So, let's see if we can focus on just the important parts, for now at least.

As a roleplayer, I'm of an advanced level. I do not require the same of my partners, but I do prefer it. In terms of subject preference, I've done just about everything. Action, adventure, romance, horror, sci-fi, fantasy; I've done a fair bit of just about everything.

Now, as a personality, I'm like a lot of people here. I enjoy my personal time, like a good book now and then, and have a habit of attempting to explore lives not my own. I like to think I'm easy to get along with, but I'm by no means perfect. In general, I can get over-protective of my ideas, and sometimes I get a little paranoid.

What you want to know, though, is what I'm like as a partner. I can't entirely define that for you, but I can promise you these three things;
So long as you reply, I'll reply.
I will give to a partner, and a roleplay, as much as I get. You will never just be telling me a story.
If you're my partner, you're also my friend.

Now, let's play!

TLDR; I'm a nerd. I like to roleplay. Let's play!

Much of what I'm looking for revolves around an existing cannon. This, by no means, stands as a restriction to what kind of genre or setting I will take part in. It's simply an easy foundation for infinite possibility.

For those not in the know, the Warhammer 40,000 cannon is a very, Very in-depth universe, that spans across a literal galaxy of options. Examples of possible stories that could be told in this universe include:

• An eldritch horror story, set in steam-punk Germany
• An action story, revolving around two elf-ninja women, who fight robots
• A knight, armed with a blessed blade, going off to slay a dragon
• The mystery of who killed the commander of a star ship; His second in command, the medical officer who is half robot, or the mechanic, who is a sentient orangutan.
• Pirates, sailing across an ocean filled with sea monsters, trying to find the witch who cursed their captain

So, for anyone thinking, 'I'm not interested in 40k, this isn't for me.' You're wrong! As mind boggling as it is, this particular cannon is so absurdly far reaching, it would be better described as a writing style than its own, actual cannon. Why use it then, you ask? Simple;
It's convenient!

Truth be told, I'm a little bit lazy. A convenient set of lore to fall back on as it becomes necessary, with enough flexibility to allow for any conceivable plot to be explored, is a tool I'm happy to abuse. I'm happy to steer as far, or as close, to the core of the 41st millennium as you're comfortable with.

That said, if you're still not up for the idea of using the 40k universe as a basis; That's fine! I take requests, as well. If you've got an idea for a roleplay, and are looking for a partner just crazy enough to try and help you make it happen, then I'm your guy!

If you want to get started, great! Send me a PM, we can get some ideas rolling. I am on multiple times a week, and like to reply to initial introductions within 24 hours. Look forward to hearing from you.

If you have questions, feel free to ask! I'll answer below, as well as update this first post to reflect those answers.

Looking for a GM and players to try out Pathfinder Second Edition

Yes, @Ryuzaki. This particular venture does not currently have a GM.

Sounds like what's really needed for this is a GM. As per usual, a good GM is hard to find.

I know this is a bit on the older side, but did anything come of this?

Recently got the PF 2e core and have been looking around for opportunities to run characters.

The Galactic Vices Casino

So, have we hit the requisite number of people for the main event to occur yet, or are we still waiting on that?

Still open for other potential partners!

@silvermist1116 Send me a PM, we can work out your character and how the plot would go.

The last gasp of the warring states period; The first breath of the Tokugawa era (M for MxF or MxM, 18+)

The Story

It is the beginning of an end, the start of the country's last shogunate era. The Edo period has just begun, even as the nation fights against it. The Tokugawa now rule, alongside the 300 regional daimyo, and samurai command the peasantry under threat of violence. Much change will come with this new era, but before it can, the last gasp of what came before must be heard.

The age of warring states, the Sengoku period, ended less than a century before. Battlefields still litter the countryside, and the land remembers the taste of blood spilled over its soil. Having swelled during the times of war, the yokai population is far too large for this new age of stability and creativity to support. They seek every conflict they can, working to push the nation back to war.

Currently, the Ikko-ikki stand as the single greatest force of chaos in the land. Small groups of commoners, angered by the new laws of the Edo period, work with sohei to stand against their new daimyo with plans to overthrow the government in its entirety. Assisting them are the sohei, warrior monks who have stood against samurai armies from within their fortress monasteries. With the help of these monks, the Ikko-ikki form small groups all across the nations who work independently of each other to fight back against their local daimyo.

Revolutionaries or terrorists, traitors or heros, their actions bring about bloodshed and violence. This draws out the now-starving yokai, who are eager to escalate every conflict to its absolute extreme. Seeing the danger, the sohei of the nation go to the Ikko-ikki offering assistance in their fight, but secretly work to defeat the yokai the conflict draws out. Most do so from within their temples, leaving only when they must. One such monk, however, has taken to traveling the country to fight the yokai.

Along his way, this monk finds many unique adventures, and discovers that the world is a much grander place than he had been taught at his temple. While he travels, he meets friends and eventually companions. It is uncertain if he will see the new government unseated by the people, but it is his goal to see the end of the evil yokai that threaten his home.

_________________________________

Welcome to my interest check! If you've read the story, you have a general idea of what this is. If not, then think of it as a setting crossed between Inuyasha and Samurai Champloo. While it won't directly reference either of those two, it's set in Japanese history and culture and gets a lot of inspiration from those anime.

I will be playing the part of a sohei; a monk warrior devoted to defeating the evil monsters of Japanese mythology, while also seeking to help the common man fight back against their latest tyrant. This particular sohei will be traveling the country, encountering many creatures and ultimately fighting to defeat the hidden mastermind who's behind all the chaos.

Your character is... Yours! Samurai, priestess, ninja, fellow monk, even just a commoner; These are all options, and there are many more. This is largely how this will be most like the two anime. My character has his own goals and motivations, and so will yours. However, there is no clear path to reach their goals, so they largely simply exist within this world until fortune offers them the next chance to take action.

Now, the technical stuff-

-This RP will deal with a lot of 18+ topics and scenes, so will be done over PMs. As such, please be 18+. I, of course, am 18+ myself.

-I write at an advanced level. I do not expect my partner to match me, but I do ask for at least a high casual standard. Grammar, correct spelling, and two or more paragraphs a post are all I'm really wanting.

-We will be working together to create this story. As such, there will be a wide margin for creative freedom, but there also won't be any single over-arcing plot line. Be prepared to contribute, I will not be telling you a story.

-Generally, I will post at least once a week. I ask that my partner be able to post, at least, that often. If you need to take a break for some reason, or need to miss a week, that's perfectly fine and I understand. However, going into this, please plan to post at least that frequently.

-A note on language; You may have noticed that I use a lot of terms that aren't English. While I don't expect this of my partner, and will be happy to explain any term I use, I use these terms because they are unique to the culture this RP will be exploring. For the most part, I will use these terms consistently, but only when referring to something that does not have a perfect analog in English otherwise. It's best to think of these terms as proper nouns, even though most of them won't be.

Alright, that's about it! If you have questions, feel free to ask here or message me directly.

To anyone interested in RPing with me, but not interested in this specific idea; Please, feel free to send me a PM. I'll happily field all ideas and suggestions. While I make no promises I will take on all partners that come to me, I will talk to anyone.
