Bio
Hi! I'm a college student from Canada :)
French is my first language so forgive me if I sound a little odd sometimes: I mostly learned English through reading, and it shows in my way of speaking i.e. I can tend to sound a bit stilted and/or overly formal/literary.
I'm a long-time D&D player and DM, and I've dabbled in other TTRPG systems. Now, I'm interested in getting into play-by-post! Which means I'm still a newbie, although one with some experience, so please be patient with me. Still, don't hesitate to point out my mistakes, I'm willing to learn and get better.
My interests span most genres of fiction, except heavy horror (I'm more into the campy, Evil Dead 2 kind of horror. I loooove camp!) and heavy romance (though I am still 100% on-board with getting involved in a good old romantic subplot! It's just less my thing when it's the main focus of the story, y'know?).
I like group RPs best (once again, TTRPG player, and used to large groups at that) but I won't say no to an interesting 1-on-1 either. Basically, I like a bit of everything, and I'm willing to at least try most things!
I'm a pixel artist, so I might post some of my work, eventually :3

@KITCHEN GUN
Arthur cracks open an eye, glancing at the newcomer. He raises from his bedroll to a sitting position, a jaw-cracking yawn making its way out of him. His hand reflexively finds his sword's scabbard, but the mercenary doesn't grab for it, only laying his hand over it. "Whawasit...?" he slurs, still half-asleep.
He snatches the poster from Ludwig's fingers, squinting down at it for a minute, before handing it back. "Oh, that. Yer pretty late to the party, lad. The others all left for the inn, as far as I'm aware. Pretty sure I'm the only one sleepin' here tonight." Another yawn shakes Arthur's large frame. "Sleep I'm lookin' forward to goin' back to, if ya don't mind. Go look fer the Captain if ya wanna know more, he's the one in charge of this whole thing. Should be somewhere in the building..."
With those words, Arthur lays back down, wrapping himself tightly in his travel blanket, his soft snoring quickly filling the room again.

Forum: Introduce Yourself
Welcome! Great topic title btw x)
Card
I'm new to the forum (and to play-by-post in general) so I'm kind of curious, how many RPs do y'all participate in at the same time in general? It can be any format or any type, I'm just really really curious about it (if I had the time and statistical know-how I would love to make an in-depth survey... this thread will have to do haha)
Personally, I can only handle about 2 weekly TTRPG campaigns at the same time, but since PbP doesn't need you to fit a 4 hours time slot in your schedule, and you can kinda do it whenever you have free time, my guess is that people tend to have more going on at once. Or am I wrong? Enlighten me!

Location: Ironclad (Joseph's apartment)
Joseph shone a light in his patient's eye, carefully observing how the pupil dilated. "Pupils abnormally large..." he muttered, frowning thoughtfully. The doctor clicked off his penlight and scrawled a few notes on his notepad. "Dizziness, confusion, nausea... and you threw up earlier, too," he said calmly. "Yep, that's a concussion alright. I'll have to..."
His head perked up as he picked up the sounds of the microwave beeping and cutlery being set down coming from beyond his office's door. "Dammit Jackie, are you eating my leftovers again?" he yelled, annoyed. "I was saving those!" He shook his head as a muffled "Sorry, Doc!" answered him. He could swear that girl had a bottomless stomach. Then again, Joseph had been the one to give her a key to his house and let her come and go as she wished. He really shouldn't be surprised at this sort of thing anymore.
He turned back towards the man still sitting dazedly on a cot. He was pretty sure that guy was a pickpocket, not that he ever asked his patients questions. What they did was none of his business, and he'd rather keep plausible deniability. "Anyway, as I was saying, you're concussed. I'll give you some painkillers for the headaches. No alcohol for the next few days, try to rest as much as possible, and for the love of God, try not to get kicked in the head again." He gestured to the open door leading to the rest of his home. "I'll be keeping you for observation tonight. I'll show you to the guest room."
Once his patient was settled for the evening, Joseph sat at the kitchen table, groaning tiredly. He took a good look at Jackie. She was still ravenously devouring his leftovers, not a hint of guilt on her face. He was glad to see her in good health, but still. He had really been looking forward to that fried rice. "So, heard anything good lately?" Jackie, the self-proclaimed "Gossip Queen of the Underground", had been acting as his informant for the going-ons of the local crime scene ever since he'd started acting as Ironclad's local back-alley doctor. While she herself was no one important, just a small-time car thief, she had ears everywhere, and many friends in low places. Her title might be self-proclaimed, but it was accurate more often than not.
"Well," she said between two bites, "for once I've got nothin'. It's dead out there, no supers plannin' anythin'. Looks like somethin' is drawing them outta Ironclad for a bit." She gave a lopsided grin. "Sounds like you're gonna have it easy for a bit, Doc."
Joseph huffed a laugh. "Don't jinx it." His expression got bit a bit sterner as Jackie's words really sunk in. "If something's really drawing the usual crowd away, then it has to be something big. We should expect waves."
Jackie put her fork down as she began to think. "Y'know, I usually only tell you info I'm pretty sure is reliable, and keep the subject around Ironclad supers. You don't need to hear every little bit of drama about the local burglary ring. Even though it's really juicy." She leaned back in her chair, almost putting her feet up on the table, before a glare from Joseph made her put her feet back down. "But if you really think somethin' that big is goin' on... well, I heard some weird stuff through the grapevine."
"Now, you know I try to keep away from all that mafia shebang, but I know a guy who's a bit less careful. Word is, there's a lot of movement back in Nova City." Jackie began to dig into her (stolen) meal anew. "Someone is tryin' to push all of the other groups out. Some foreign syndicate or other. I even heard the boss is supposed to be this really strong super."
Joseph sighed tiredly. Supervillains going quiet, power struggles back in Nova, a superpowered crime boss making moves... that was bad. Really bad. They seemed to stay away from Ironclad for the moment, but whether they'd start trouble around here wasn't a matter of if, but a matter of when. The doctor had a feeling that this was just the calm before the storm...
@Estylwen Yeah, that could work, thanks! I'll cook up a little something, leave an opening for some grunts to approach :)
EDIT: just saw @Pumpkinlord's reply after posting, this could work too. Honestly, I might just do that, the bank's already pretty crowded as is. Thanks for the advice!

Mmmh, I'm having trouble thinking of an interesting way to introduce my character to the situation. I've got an excuse for why he'd be in Nova City locked in, I'm just struggling to think of how he could get involved... he's not really a crime fighter after all, more of a super-EMT. I suppose I could always wait. Any suggestions?
