Note
If you want me to play a fandom character opposite of your OC please have some kind of plot in mind or an idea to make the game interesting. If you send me a message just stating that you want me to play a character for your OC and nothing else I'm going to decline your request.
Original
These are games where we play characters of our own creation in settings of our own design. Some times just 'generic fantasy world', the 'real world' or 'our world with magic'. It can vary quite a bit and is usually dependent on the tropes of what genre of a game we play.
Fandoms
Games set in established universes that are from books, television shows, video games, movies and so on. This could involve playing characters from said universe or original characters in that setting.
Crossovers
Now, by crossover I mean a game where either more than one fandom are mixed into a single game. This could be the two, maybe more, worlds are blended t make a new setting. It could be a game where a character or an aspect of a setting are moved over to another. Want characters from House of Cards to deal with subversive vampires? We can do that. Are you looking for a game where Spiderman comes to the rescue of Felicity Smoak? That works. How about a game where Eddard Stark is rescued from his dismal fate by She-Hulk or she saves Robert and his rebellion at the Red Wedding? Screw it, it all works. I'm fine playing the character in a new setting or you can take that role if it pleases you. It's all gravy.
What If or AU
These games are typically fandom games with one or several breaks from established cannon. Game of Thrones only Eddard Stark had become king in place of Robert. Superman landed in a country other than the United States. What would have happened if Harry Dresden had taken up Lasciel in his time of need? That's the basic idea.
I want to play these games over PM, but threads and E-Mail are valid options if that's where you would prefer to play. I post two to three paragraphs for my opening and tend to match my partner from there on. I love adding interesting Npc's to the game and would be grateful to have a partner that would do the same.
Note
If you are interested send me a PM with a character you would like me to play, a plot idea or some genres and tropes that you like and we'll come up with something together.

Ideas
Idea One -- Craving
I would like to play a game about a character trying to live a normal life after going through a harrowing event. Something like the setup for the show Life, only with more of a focus on the day to day stuff. Things like being in prison for years for a crime they never committed and were only recently were set free after the truth was discovered. I want to play a game about Jason Brody's life after the events of Far Cry 3. I guess I would really like to play a Slice of Life game about someone who doesn't really know how to live anymore.
Example
“It's been years since I've heard the sound of thunder.” The speaker was a pale young man whose black hair was in a buzz cut. He was lean and not in particularly healthy kind. “When they found out who I was they made me wear a collar that gave me shock whenever I tried to talk.” Tenderly he rubbed his neck where this scar lines could be seen going all the way around. “I mean, at least there was lightning, but it's been years since I've heard thunder.”
William Joseph "Billy" Batson was thirteen years old when he was charged with the murder of Dudley H. Dudley , his guardian. The neighbors had heard the pair arguing and in the course of the investigation the murder weapon had been found with Billy's prints all over the knife. When none of his super hero allies could find anything to prove the boy innocent the League decided that it was best if the justice system was aware of what the boy was capable of. It hadn't been a unanimous decision and had disagreed with letting the boy go to prison, but the majority had their way. So, he was locked away in Bell Reve, Fawcett City didn't have the resources to deal with a super human, with a collar around his neck to keep him from transforming.
The game would start with Billy's release after being proven innocent however many years later and where it goes from there really depends on what character the other person wants to play. It could be about the difficulties in trying to be one of the heroes again. Billy trying to live a normal life now that he's free and someone in his new life figures out who he is. Hell, this could be about a villain trying to convince him to lash out against those that let him rot behind bars.
Possible starting post for this game.
((For this intro a twenty-three year old Billy Batson is let out of prison ten years after his incarceration.))
He didn't look well. A man in his late twenties stood before a mirror in a bare bedroom with his shirt tossed on the floor beside him. Dark stubble covered his scalp and his once sky blue eyes were dull. His skin was pale and marred with scars from constant interactions with violence. A few burns, a couple of slashes and two scars that were no doubt self inflicted. “No short sleeves.” It wasn't a voice that saw constant use, best described as a harsh whisper. The kind used on a stage, all conspiratorial and meant to be heard. That was probably the best part about prison. While he hated not being able to make any decisions for himself at first it soon became a comfort. Without choices it was easier to just let the world pass him by. He went were they told him to go, did as instructed and most important of all he kept his mouth shut. Now he would have to buy his own clothing, something that hid how poorly he ate the last ten years, and decide how he would spend his time.
That was the scariest part. It was a simple question; What are you doing today? It filled him with dread. After spending ten years locked up in a solitary cell he dreaded the ability to go out and see the world himself. When the truth that he had been framed came out he would not see anyone. For three weeks straight he refused to see the state appointed attorney that came to see him. That was until the warden came by and explained that the process to see him released had already been started and he would be out of Belle Reve in a matter of days whether he liked it or not. After forcing a promise out of him to stay our of trouble William Joseph Batson finally agreed to meet with his lawyer. Three days later he was released with a sum of money that the state had offered to avoid a lawsuit. His lawyer wanted to refuse on the grounds that they could easily push for more, but Batson accepted the offer.
It turned out that Doctor Sivana had confessed to the whole thing on his death bed. Time had finally caught up with the super villain and he had needed to mock and shame the world one last time. The weapon of choice in that instance had been the truth. He had killed the boys uncle and had controlled the minds of several key persons the the Fawcett City Police Department to make sure that the case against his teenage archenemy would be strong as possible. The deception had gone off without a hitch and not even his super power allies had been able to prove him innocent. No, the boy grew into a man behind bars and would not know freedom until he had no chance at revenge. Not that he wanted any, or at least he didn't think he did. The opportunity had passed and he would never know for himself.
With a heart full of trepidation he dressed once more and left his second floor apartment and was out on the streets of Gotham. He lacked the courage to go back to Fawcett City and knew that no one would come to Gotham to find him without clearing it with the Bat. He hoped that the Batman would know well enough that he had come to his city to hide from the world. Just another face wandering the dismal streets of the city hoping to be lost and forgotten.
Idea Two
No one was ready for the undead plague when it struck. When news struck people assumed that the worlds superheroes would protect them. Instead they became the greatest threat this planet had ever faced. The most of the super powered individuals of the world were either infected or were devoured by their plague ridden allies. Where most zombies were unthinking creatures the former superheroes and supervillains some how kept their wits about them and played games with what pocket of survivors they could find in the following years.
We will be playing surviving B-list characters, either heroes or villains, doing what they can to protect the survivor they have holed up with from the undead and the super powered monsters that scour the world for them. We could do this with either original or fandom characters.
Idea Three
How far would you go for revenge?
A group of nomadic vampires have been living one big party for the last sixty years. They only embrace those that will aid in their pursuit of eternal pleasure. Often young and beautiful people that were drawn in with promises of living a life of pleasure for the rest of time. The fine print being that they had to become blood drinking monsters to be part of the party rather than just a party favor. Lately, they have been spending fewer and fewer nights in a single place. This coterie is on the run from a parent of one of their victims. They embraced this persons child or left them as a corpse to be found in the wreckage of a party spot. Either way this former parent is hunting the group with much more success than any before have had.
Now, the spot of the hunter is open and I would be happy to play as them or another character. The other character could be the leader of this group of kindred or just one of it's members. Or the other character could be someone who was about to be a victim that was saved by the hunter. Hell, they could both be hunters working together punish the group for robbing them of their children.
If you are a fan of Vampire, either Masquerade or Requiem, we could put the game in those settings and one of us could play a sherrif hunting the wild vampires down for their wanton creating of childer and sloppy feeding.
Idea Four
Superman is dead.
He fell in Metropolis in battle against the monster known as Doomsday that nearly destroyed the city.
Parallax has risen.
The destruction of Coast City has driven Hal Jordan insane and the former Green Lantern has led a war against the Lantern Corp that has left destroyed except for a singe Guardian known as Ganthet.
That Bat has been broken.
The villain Bane has broken the hero Batman in both spirit and body leaving Gotham under his control.
The world needs heroes, now more than ever.
This could be a game about other heroes taking the lead in saving Gotham and protecting the world or it could be heroes from another world, such as Marvel. Hell, this could be about orignal heroes trying to save the word after three of it's greatest have fallen.
I know, it's kind of vague.
Idea Five
This next idea is a spy vs. spy kind of game. Both of our characters work as spies and assassins for an organization with dubious ambitions. They are put together as partners to hunt down a traitor in the organization, but the kicker is, of course, that one of them is the traitor. For the sake of the 'rule of cool' they could be members of the organizations from Assassin's Creed or the traitor could be empowered by the Outsider à la Dishonored.
It could even be both.
I would be willing to play the loyal agent or the traitor in this.
Idea Six
This world is older than any of you know. Contrary to popular mythology, it did not begin as a paradise. For untold eons demons walked the Earth. They made it their home, their... their Hell. But in time they lost their purchase on this reality. The way was made for mortal animals, for, for man. All that remains of the old ones are vestiges, certain magicks, certain creatures...
Not necessarily Buffy, but the game is based about a character finding out that the world they know is only a piece of the puzzle of the whole and the whole is a hell of a lot darker than they had thought. The characters could be strangers where one just came across the fantastic or perhaps they know each other. A friend, teacher, co-worker or even family. What is a parent to do when they confront a child about strange behavior when the child admits to becoming a mage or a vampire? It would be pretty rad if this dark world was part of the World of Darkness, New or Classic, or Dresden Files and I would be willing to play the newcomer or the mentor in this game. Fandom characters are always appreciated.
