Hello! Like it says on the tin, I'm kinda bored and feel like getting some RP going.
The amount that I can post per day varies, but I'll make sure it's at least once per day unless your schedule requires a slower rate. I'm mostly looking for either science fiction or fantasy- personally, I prefer original settings to canon ones, but if there IS a setting you'd like to use, feel free to ask! Worst case scenario, I'll just let you know I'm not interested in it. I'm happy to play either M or F, but I will say that while I have no problem with same-sex relationships, I don't find them particularly interesting to play.
My spelling and grammar are in general quite good, and while I might not be perfect my posts will be clear and easy to understand. I don't demand the same level of type-a attention to grammar from my partners, I realize that's often an unrealistic goal.
There IS a short list of settings that I'd like to play in, though I'll mention that I'd like OC's for them- I'll pass on Canon characters. This list may change over time.
-Wildstar
-World of Warcraft
-Corruption of Champions
-Eberron (the D&D 3.5 setting)
Feel free to PM me ideas! I'm quite open minded, and I love discussing RP stuff and working together to come up with settings and the like!

To my friends from chat: I guess I'll see you around, since I'm still not using discord.

I don't actively RP on the site these days, but I might be convinced to come back if there's a cool fantasy or sci-fi group RP that can capture my interest. Catch me on Second Life, Wildstar, or Chat.

My life has gotten really chaotic. I'll be back to RPing when I can.

I need a good generic fantasy RP, but I can't find one.

I work in the game industry actually, it's always interesting seeing what an outside perspective of it is like. Oftentimes, it's staggeringly different from what the reality of it is.
Fact is, while some of the massive, sprawling games described above would sure be fun, they would take somewhere in the neighborhood of a decade to make in some cases, with large teams and absurd budgets.
The Wii is not responsible for the influx of casual gamers, if you're going to point at any one thing as the source of that you should be looking at phones. Because of app games, there has been a flood of casual gamers who never touched a game before in their lives. These are people who play games while on busses or otherwise commuting too and from work, and they want games that fit that time frame. That's where you get games like Candy Crush and so many other app games- you may have noticed that the levels are often quite short, or there are breaks frequently. This is because the target market for these games are people who tend to only have a few minutes to play at a time, rather than the many-hours long daily sessions that more hardcore gamers have.
Trust me when I say that a huge number of designers would love to build more hardcore games, but the fact is that the market just doesn't really support that. Making a game costs a huge amount of money, and sadly there just aren't as many people who are willing to buy a game like Dark Souls vs. some stupid little reskin of an app game. Investors know this, and as a result it's hard to even get the money together for an ambitious, hardcore, innovative triple-A game when the people with the money feel safer investing in what is currently proven to work.
Yes, there are companies that try to ride on the coattails of others (I worked at one briefly, absolutely horrible place that I think is now out of business) but a lot of studios, especially the smaller ones, are composed of really passionate gamers who want to make things like are being described here, but for various reasons- be they financial or logistical- can't manage it.

A mature content version of Questing We Shall Go sounds like it would be super fun. I'm actually very well versed in 3.5 (also AD&D and Pathfinder) so we could even make actual stat sheets if you'd like.
I have been roused from the depths of my slumber by the sweet scent of Crossover RP. I'm sure I could come up with a character for this.
The second two sound quite interesting!
I feel like doing something silly, so this happened.
You, and possibly some of your friends, are one of several mercenary / music groups (or possibly solo acts) that have sprung up recently to combat a new threat. Several dimensions have begun to merge with our own, resulting in various creatures and attributes bleeding over and changing core things about how our world works- most noticeably, music is now a powerful force that some would describe as magic.
With properly designed equipment, a chord can become a blast of energy. A pounding bassline can become a tangible wall of force. Keytars have made a resurgence as a highly portable way to play synthetic music, and so on.
Playing these empowered instruments isn't something that everyone can do. The dimensional bleed has impacted some people more than others, and only those that happened to be particularly strongly attuned are able to use empowered instruments to their full potential. These exceptional individuals are our characters.
The threats they fight are extradimensional in origin, meaning they can be almost anything conceivable. Everything from time-lost dinosaurs, genetic cronenbergs and glow clouds have come through, and the only thing that really has much chance at stopping them is the empowered instruments, since they ALSO use energy from another dimension. Weapons from our own dimension are borderline worthless against these creatures, serving to annoy them but hurting no more than a mosquito bite.
The people and groups who use empowered instruments to fight these monsters have become the modern day celebrities, some of the songs used to fight off giant monsters becoming radio hits after the fact.
There is no common theme among the people who have the power to use the empowered instruments. There are people of all ages, genders and nationalities with these abilities, and they can show up in anywhere from big cities to settlements so small they don't even show up on a map. In some cases, the extradimensional energy does seem to have impacted their physiology to some degree, resulting in seemingly random cosmetic effects. These include exotic / unnatural hair or eye coloration, odd music-related birthmarks that look less like birthmarks and more like naturally appearing tattoos, and even stranger things. Exotic / unnatural coloration of parts of the body also occurs, and it can be everything from having blue skin to naturally pink fingernails or tongue / interior flesh glowing a bright orange.
Anyone interested?

I'm going to have a hard time posting until next week- things changed for me at work, and for two weeks I've been unable to surf while working. I'm past one week now, but my time is still heavily curtailed until the end of the coming week.
I'll do what I can, but don't feel bad if you have to move on without me posting. Until then, just think of Sujurak as the creepy guy who stays by himself that most of the other inmates are too sketched out to start trouble with.
Also, it's 'her'. Gets "Her" post up.

Is it just me, or does it really feel like the site is weighted more towards the low end of the scale rather than the high end?
That was me just mashing the roll button to get an idea of the range that Rolz feels like giving me. I now understand that it apparently doesn't like me, and as such will be trying to play smart in a way where I rely as little as possible on rolling well :P
In other words, with the sample size I took, I feel fairly confident in not even bothering to try a Deck of Many Things.
Though in retrospect, I suppose I probably should have used a test room or something for that, if I ever feel the need to do another range check like that I'll do it somewhere where it doesn't spam the log. My bad.

If the first creature had looked somewhat sickly, the one following her looked like the picture of health by comparison. He wasn't wearing much to start with, some combination of a loincloth and a kilt, along with some knotted leather armbands around his fairly large biceps- and large they were, along with the rest of him. His black-scaled bulk stood nearly seven feet high, capped off with a fanged grin that would look more at home on a fox being released into a chicken coop than it would on a prisoner. He seemed to make no fuss about removing his meagre garments, his anatomy ensuring that, at present, there was nothing to show off, but he quickly started chuckling in a rumbling voice as he looked at the provided clothing. Rather than try to fit into them and tear them apart, he settled for just tying them around his waist and improvising them into another loincloth.
If, throughout any of this, he was bothering to hide anything, it certainly wasn't apparent. Given the large claws on his hands and the lack of anywhere apparent to hide such things though, the more likely possibility was that he simply wasn't bothering to try.
For all his size and vicious-looking appearance, he didn't seem to resist as he was led towards his cell. Rather, he seemed almost to be happy to be here as he was herded through the tunnels, grinning like a sharp-toothed cheshire cat at the other prisoners.
