People need to stop caring about politics that much. I won't openly discuss who I wanted/who I voted for (if I voted at all) and the majority of my friends (demos and reps) have defriended me. Idiots.

You definitely find out who your true family and friends are when you are stressed out and feel like you are drowning. Approximately ~ 60 more years to go. *sigh* I'm disappointed.

Bio

Salutations~ I am The Savant.

I have been role-playing for over a decade, and I am in my early to mid-twenties. I enjoy reading and writing a lot. The two most current books that I have finished and highly recommend are "The Darkening" by Sunya Mara and "Immortal Longings" by Chloe Gong. Those are the genres that I love to participate in most during my writing, though I am not limited to those. I enjoy all forms of concepts from ancient times to current day issues from fantasy to advanced technology. Fantasy species. Anything that catches my inspirational eye.

If you are ever interested in chatting or possibly setting up a role-play with me through DMs one-on-ones, message me. I promise I do not bite ~ hard. I prefer to role-play with people my age or older because I enjoy graphic descriptions and writings of adult themes. Not everyone appreciates those details which I understand and can respect: Inform me of what you want from me. Boundaries are key with writing partners and I love being able to stay within the boundaries and keep partners for a long time.

I have recently decided to start writing my book with one of my past character and group role-play inspirations that failed, recently, on this site. I have also had odd ideas of writing a book with another person through our role-plays, though I have never had anyone be interested in actually attempting it so I ask people very rarely. If you would be interested in such a crazy idea, chat with me. I would love to discuss this.

Other than that, I am a substitute teacher throughout the week, so I tend to be distracted from morning hours to mid-afternoon but I tend to check my phone and reply when I can. I am an active person even if my public appearance on the site does not live up to that statement. I stay at DMs, usually.

Thank you for reading my biography and getting to know about me. Come get acquainted with me.

Greetings!



To whoever may be reading this, I hope you are having a wonderful day! To introduce myself, you may call me Zora. I have been a part of the guild for a while and have taken more than a few years on hiatus away from the forum and RP in general. I have not done much of it but I am wanting to get back into it. My personal preferences in RP are casual small groups or 1x1s in DMs. I am not against making Discord servers for role-plays, but we can discuss that if we ever get there.
I am a full-time student and I do have a life outside of the internet. I am married. I do have obligations and cannot promise that I will respond every single day. I can however guarantee that I will respond once a week. If I am going to be delayed, I will inform you.



A few things about me
I am over the age of 21
Paragraph Role-player (Casual to Advanced)
I enjoy all different types of genres/themes/etc... and my favorites are realism, romance/drama, and fantasy

What I am looking for
Someone who is going to respond with at least a paragraph
Someone who is at least 18, preferably 21+ because I enjoy adult themes and ERP
{ERP is never the goal I am going for in RP but I do enjoy it when it naturally gets there}


RP Wise
Everything and anything should be discussed. I do not mind if partners want to fade to black and do time skips over romantic scenes. I'm very talkative and get excited about plot ideas and so on. I apologize in advance.

I'm always looking for long-lasting RPs and I desire character growth. My longest group and 1x1 RPs were both multiple years and sadly they are not ongoing anymore. The reason I took a break.

I tend to usually play male characters. If you would like me to play a female, this will be a heavy discussion, and I really have to click with the character. You might be too hopeful for that one.

Characters must be over the age of 18. Side or reference NPCs do not have to be.

Plot and character ideas
(Unless stated otherwise, both characters can play either role)
Fantasy Based
○ DnD-based RP (classes and species), we go on an adventure!
○ Royalty x peasant or knight
Realism
○ Mafia boss or international criminal (my character) x your character
○ Slice of life (living in the same apartment and crossing paths)
○ The high life, two prominent figures (fame, wealth, etc...) and their families are trying to get them together. At least one of them is originally disgusted with the other. Thinks they are horrible or have no personality or whatever it may be. Enemies to friends or maybe lovers. Can they outsmart their families without actually falling for each other?
Uncategorized ideas
○ Both of our characters wake up in bedrooms that remind them of their most calm/peaceful times. That might mean your character wakes up in the bedroom they had when they were in high school or middle school or after they moved out of their parent's house for the first time. Odd. The bedrooms have balconies attached and private bathrooms (which might or might not be a detail in the original memory.) Once they leave the room, they find a common space that is very 1920s tea party themed. Every day it changes but keeps the same 1920s theme. Both characters have no memory of how they got here or not and have to work together to figure a way out. There might not be.
Discussion
I am up to discuss anything as well!


If you are still reading, I appreciate that you gave me your time! I would appreciate it if you DMed me a response. I hope you have a wonderful week!



Could you say that the man was filled with anxieties that he never knew he had? There was a darkness creeping into his mind and soul. It felt cold. Trying to distract himself from the overall situation, one could maybe say that Kristo was finally growing consciousness. Inhaling sharply as his fingers fidgetted with the wood in them. He was currently knitting a hat and he has become very good at knitting since he came to this place. His only escape from this horrible reality but there was some light tonight. Can I focus on that? Could he truly focus on that little bit of light at the end of the tunnel?

Kristo, like usual, felt the need to whistle and hum at night. Whatever he was humming showed control over his voice and it was not bad at all. It was deeper than his regular tone. The song sounded very intense yet calm at the same time. It wasn’t a song that most or anyone except Kristo would know. He doesn’t know how he came across it but he thinks it's the final thing his mother gave him before giving him up. Lying in the dust and dirt-filled room. Somewhat grimy as well. It had a faint smell of metallic or copper ~ blood. The bed was uncomfortable. None of them were comfortable.

Hush now little one, close your sleepy eyes.
As the moonlight dances across the night skies.
Across those beautiful amber eyes.
Dreams await, like a gentle night.
In a world where magic and wonder lie.

Oh, sleep little one, my precious child,
In your dreams, let your spirit run wild.
The stars will guide you through the night,
Keeping you safe till morning light.

Softly now, hear the whispering breeze,
Whisking away all your worries with ease.
In the meadow, where flowers softly sway,
Dreams of joy will bloom along the way.

Oh, sleep little one, my precious child,
In your dreams, let your spirit run wild.
The stars will guide you through the night,
Keeping you safe till morning light.

Drift away on clouds so fluffy and white,
With the moon as your guardian, shining so bright.
The world is asleep, the night is serene,
Wrapped in love, like a cozy dream.
Sleep now, little one, in your peaceful nest,
In the land of dreams, where you’re truly blessed.
Whispers of love will gently sing you to sleep,
As the nights’ melody, your heart shall keep.

Oh, sleep little one, my precious child,
In your dreams, let your spirit run wild.
The stars will guide you through the night,
Keeping you safe till the morning light.

Dreams will carry you on their gentle wings,
Where the moon and stars are the magic it brings.
So sleep, my love, in this lullaby so dear,
Know I will always be right here.

Hush now, little one close your eyes,
Eyes of amber and innocence, so divine.


Kristo skillfully weaves the needles in and out of the soft yarn, his hands moving with practiced grace. His brow furrows in concentration, and a serene smile plays on his lips as he watches the hat take shape., “It's amazing how you can turn a ball of yarn into something,” Kristo said to himself while extending his hands in front of him and slightly stretching out his work. A plain hat was before him. Unfinished. Other than the simple color, it looked semi-comfortable and a little stylish as well.

Prison guard Kristo... He didn't have to do much at all but it was still nerve-wracking. Why did he agree to that even? He would do fine. Performing was his main gig when he wasn't in prison. He loved being up on stage. It was just like a stage. Except there were many other armed guards and if you mess up, you might cost everyone their lives. Other than that, very similar. Similarities indeed. He hated this.

They usually separate out the sexes, to avoid issues.


Things can still happen when stuff is separated. If there is a will there is a way.
Y'know that scene from The Lion King where Pumbaa and Timon act like a distraction? Yeah...that would be Kristo and Erith hahaha


They wouldn't be a bad distraction. Lol
Co-ed prisons always surprise me.


Co-ed prisons can have a lot of things go wrong in them or inconvenient things.
The real question is, are we confident with Kristo's charisma and disguise abilities? I mean, I am all up for anything.




Titus's words caused him to shrug his shoulders, Limited intel..., everything was limited in this place. Sighing at his thoughts and stroking a hand through his hair, his other hand standing on his hip. A creeping sensation of anxiety was what was getting at his thought process. The thoughts of being caught. Gods... what will they do if they catch us... Truly this man didn't want to know.
"That is a different type of enthusiasm," Kristo chuckled while sporting a half-forced smile because Mort made him nervous. She always seemed to be hiding more of herself than what she let on. A part of him believed that she covered certain parts of her personality behind the veil of death. To keep her distance from others.
Rubbing the back of his neck, She thinks I can kill people? Holding back the laugh and choking it down hard. There were no instruments around and he wasn't the best with weapons. He could handle a sword and a dagger but he was generally better at a bow and arrow than anything. He could use his fists, but he didn't want to damage his fingers. What if he damaged them so much that he couldn't play his instruments anymore? Wait... I am in prison for life, I cannot play instruments anyways... This was a depressing thought.

Being in this prison for several years really could cause someone's passions. "I will definitely keep that in mind. I just. You know. Killing is such a harsh and bloody thing to do. I usually go the passive route. As... You know? Trying to be friendly before being un-friendly. I like the positive encounters of any situation," Kristo felt someone useless at these thoughts and this specific situation. Everyone else seemed to have magnificent powers and abilities. Strength. Stealth. And he was a distraction. Maybe the perfect distraction but barely anything other than that.

All the notions of the plan, I'm assuming the rest of you lot have useful skills..., Was this a breaking point for Kristo? It might be. Was he not supposed to be knitting while in here? Glancing around at the thoughts. I've been getting really good too. What a disappointment to know that he shouldn't have been knitting and doing something else.

What is a bard without his instrument(s)? Possibly a storyteller? Kristo was good at telling stories. What abilities did the man truly have? A few. He knew he had a few. None of which he could really think about.
Being on the road his whole life, he was a decent cook and baker. A few people have told him that he has made delicious soups. Plus bread, he is proud that he knows how to make a decent loaf of bread that goes along with the soup. Being proud of his abilities to cook and bake further than just nutrition.

Overall, Kristo has gained some muscle working in the mines for years. Would he use those? He didn't know how to use them. They just made him look better. Other than a few spars, the man didn't know how to fight in the sense of hand-to-hand combat. Not very well at least.

Can one even call this a cafeteria? Each time the man stepped into this place it caused a little more of his soul to leave his body and he's been doing this for seven years. Seven years. Seven boring years. Stepping into the cafeteria with a sigh, he looked slightly more roughed up than usual. A scuff of dirt was across his face with a little bit of blood. The mines were one thing and the people who worked in them were a whole other thing.
Sitting was not an option at the moment. Why? Unknown reasons. Kristo felt like standing and standing there by the table, he did. ...so if they're drunk - A blink came from the man which allowed his amber eyes to disappear for not even a second. Did I miss something? Internally questioning himself since he came into that sentence. He would figure it out later. That means they'll be less attentive... A thought passed through his mind, No, shit Sherlock... That's what alcohol does to the majority of people... But he was staying quiet for a reason. If he spoke, they would probably leave him behind.
Kristo was not confident in other people and did not know if he was truly confident in himself. Was this worth the risk? Trying to obtain a key that could possibly free them. Inhaling sharply, his chin rested on his knuckles as he looked down at the table. Stuck in thought. What thoughts were behind those fire-lit eyes?

"I appreciate your enthusiasm, Titus, but..." Kristo began to trail off because he didn't know if he should speak up or not. "The only plan I am hearing is retrieving the key, unlocking ourselves, and abra kadabra ~" Kristo got really quiet but really enthusiastic about this last part, "We are free!" He whispered but raised his voice at the same time while dancing hands.

Call him a pessimist, but he was unsure. What if this was a trap? What if he was placed or paid to get people who were looking for a way out of more trouble?

Glancing at a girl with two different colored eyes. Heterochromia ~ How beautiful and rare. Kristo thought to himself for a second before his eyes sharpened and he looked back at Titus, she was making a point. The more people that knew. The more likely they would be caught in their plans.

It was now or never, "I suppose I am in," Kristo wanted to get out of this prison as much as anyone else or even more so. The biggest thing he wanted to do was kiss a tree or admire a stream or something. He hasn't been able to play instruments in forever. Last week a guard took a piece of straw that he was using as an instrument. It sounded fine and he could get a tune but they were displeased with his actions.

@Zapdos I'm glad he is amusing, I always feel like there needs to be some comedic relief in life. Haha. And thank you for the approval.
