Post a random fact about yourself.

I'm "double jointed".

Why do you RolePlay?

As much as I enjoy writing and creating, I have trouble when it comes to forcing myself to sit there and write; with a partner or group, it's an activity and no longer just a chore. I find it makes stories more diverse and dynamic than if I were to write on my own.

I also like that role playing gives me another outlet to play someone not myself. It can be a fun challenge: on another site, I'm playing a character who is an herbalist and uses folk medicine in a pre-modern medicine era, whereas I am a paramedic today. I have to blend my understanding with what my character knows and figure out how to portray that.

The most exciting part about role playing for me is probably the character interaction. I come from a theatre background, so I would be content doing lines of dialogue back and forth all day- for me, it's all about the people and how they react to each other.

The Fallen Superhero

It was amazing just how easy it was to be unrecognizable. Leah simply had to chop her hair off and start slouching. She didn't even get the whole hey, has anyone ever told you that you look like...? Maybe she wasn't so unrecognizable: maybe it was just that no one wanted to say anything. Which was nice- she really, really didn't want the attention. She had never wanted it in the first place, and with her brother's death...

In all honesty, she never really went out, anyways. So it was probably more that there was never an opportunity for someone to realise who she was and bring it up. And, you know, she wasn't exactly proud of her last public moment, because punching one of your teammates was generally frowned upon, even if it had turned out all right in the end. So the idea that people might have perhaps not wanted to comment in case she decided to punch them was a defensible one.

She had far too much time on her hands and not enough that she wanted to do with it, which led to too much thinking.

Okay, so she did go out often enough. This, however, was not the kind of bar you went to because you wanted to find new friends. People made small talk, but not much more unless they knew each other. Even the staff made no comment about how much you were or were not drinking that night. (Sometimes she just wanted to sit and watch everything.)

...thunder storms expected to surface in the late evening hours. That's all we have for the week ahead, back to you, Janine.

Thank you, Mark. Coming up, next Thursday marks the one year anniversary of the death of one of the world's most celebrated heroes. Information on...

Leah tuned it out.

Another drink was on her table before she knew it. "On the house."

Well, looks like someone recognized her after all.

The Rundown

• I try my best to match what my partner is bringing to the table in terms of post sizes.
• My posting rate could potentially be anywhere from once a week to more than once a day. Please let me know what posting rate you tend to enjoy and I'll let you know if I can go along with it at current time.
• I totally understand getting anxious about posting or feeling flaky. As long as you're not a jerk I won't hold it against you.
• My background is in theatre acting, so I really love character driven stories and the twists and turns that tend to go along with them.
• I typically play female characters. I am not picky about what you choose to play.
• I usually tend towards darker stories, but it depends on the characters and situations.
• I do like mature and adult content; however I am also fine if this never comes up in story, or if you would prefer fade to black.
• As a related side note- I'm a paramedic, so there isn't much in the way of grit or gore that will throw me off.
• I am quite flexible in general, so if you have something that's vaguely similar to something I have in here, or you think based on what I have listed here I might like it, let me know!
• PM me if you’re interested. No use cluttering up the forum.
• That being said- I am down to role play in the forums or through PMs, whatever your preference. Just let me know!

Story Ideas

the latest and greatest

Bullseye

I just finished season three of Netflix/Marvel’s Daredevil. I’d love to play opposite Bullseye/Dex (or a similar character if you prefer not to use pre-existing characters). I think it would be interesting to have someone with borderline personality disorder, like him, but rather than sociopathic tendencies and rules, they are empathetic and embrace the chaos in their life.

and the rest in alphabetical order

Altered Carbon or Lost in Space

I've been watching both series and love them; I'd love to do something set in space post apocalypse.

Ascension

He said pick a virtue.
I chose defiance.
You can now see why He and I have a problem.

Not sure where I want to go with this, but probably some kind of supernatural tale?

The Bright

I really enjoyed this film and would love to try a story set in the world. We can discuss what exactly should happen in it, whether more actiony or dramatic, etc.

The Disgraced Superhero

So bouncing off my last idea of superhero twins, I'm interested in playing a disgraced superhero. Maybe she failed to save someone, maybe she killed someone; whatever it was, it was assumed (rightly or wrongly) that she would be vilified, and chose to step out of the public eye. Now, I guess you could say she's washed up- whether this is the story of a triumphant comeback, a spiral even further down, or simply a slice of life is up for discussion. In any case, I definitely picture this being somewhat darker of a story.

something along the lines of Argo/Escape Plan/Lockout/The Recruit

Something needs to be brought in to, or out of, a place, but of course, not all is what it seems. No specific ideas for this one; I just like the premise.

futuristic dystopian fantasy- think Terminator

I like the Terminator films, and I recently saw Terminator: Genisys and loved it. I don't want to use the characters from the franchise, but I would love to do something similar. I would be fine with using same companies, same premise, etc.
