March 8th's Obligatory Bump.


Name:

Alphonse vün'Damascus


Age:

Twenty-three


House of Order:

Damascus


Biography:




Alphonse's upbringing was distinguished by rigorous martial applications and measures of training that flirted dangerously close to iniquity. A source of profound vexation for those in the noble stratum he was born into; for what reason would a noble fate his son to the life of a solider. Most speculated that Alphonse was the product of their lord's illustrious and hardly concealed fondness for unmarried women. Lady Siggurd (the Lord's wife, however, saw much of her lineage in the boy and denied such accusations diligently. Out of paranoia, if nothing else, his father was determined that the boy would mature as far removed from politics as possible. His eldest brothers were stout and competent enough to assume rule should the unforeseen claim Lord Damascus himself and more than anything he wanted someone among his progeny to be a closer relative of warfare than legislature.

Upon the age of boyhood, Alphonse left the comforts of nobility at his own father's behest and was given to the Whitewood Templars under the charge of Ghandall Tvargunn. Ghandall was illustriously draconian in character, though not unjustly so. He had quelled more tides of war than any man could claim and with the political backing of the king himself had engineered a state of soldiers that could combat even the northern Great Houses. Alphonse worked tirelessly as a servant-hand in the militia's barracks; Ghandall's intention clear and simple: premature exposure to the lifestyle he would soon undertake. At the age of twelve he was enlisted into the institution of war and dedicated himself to the academia of martial politics, weaponology, and battlefield stratagems.

In the decade preceding the story's start Alphonse participated in a number of regional wars and skirmishes; most notably was the battle he participated in that quelled the conflict between Asperos and Tvitlar. A battle that saw his ranks slaughtered and nearly beaten though because of the strategies he employed was ultimately spared from an untimely demise. He had matured into quite the capable battle tactician: ranking from the page who fumbled around haphazardly into a young man possessive of favor from Ghandall himself.

Welcome.


If you find yourself more distracted by the presumably pretentious use of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France as an attempt to establish a feeling of sophistication than the long-winded and equally as excessive title of this thread than you would do well to consider yourself a prospective partner of mine. If you saw the picture but couldn't determine the logic behind it's employment or haven't reasoned that all of this literary-flamboyance is intended to scare away those who are less than compatible with my prose than I fear you have stumbled into the wrong corner of the Guild. Though fret not for you are but one button away from this meticulous and demanding hell-hole.


Relevant Information About Yours Truly

Excessive satire aside, welcome to my thread. I go by the name of Grayson though if you're more inclined to keep this business strictly interwebz appropriate than Thrydwulf is just as applicable. Astonishing, I know. I have been reading and writing since the early, formative infantile years but then again so has everybody else within a modern culture. The distinction --I find-- between forum-writers who are remarkably versed at their craft and those who give dire need for hierarchical skill designations is fostering a respect for not only writing but doing so collaboratively. I began recreational writing on the internet in my early teenage years back when 'instant messaging' interfaces dominated the field of virtual co-authorship and had about as much skill and regard for it as a teenage anime-junkie. Beyond a seemingly natural propensity for academics and being somewhat of a bibliophile as a kid, I began to realize that roleplaying effectively required a lot more than just a consistent ability to put words together and match up definitions like some literal algorithm. It was truly more of an art; something to be shared not scrutinized. Years of following constructive criticism and throwing myself into the water inhabited by, who I determined to be, literary sharks of the site allowed me to improve on my craft.

Currently, I'm an accounting manager of coffee brewery plant and a personal trainer. The point: I'm busy. Not unbearably, but well enough that I'd only retain a partner who respected weekly responses. Maybe a degree more frequently if my schedule would permit it. I would proceed with the my fondness of long walks on the beach and conversation amiss candle light but for some reason I don't think these sentiments would be wholly appreciated on a site like this


So You Wanna Be My Partner, Do Ya?

Yes. I did just assault the masses with a small TL;DR tactic; I find it to be rather effective at scaring away people who are more propense to superficially internalizing information. If you've made it this far than I am to assume you foster the level of patience and interest I would expect a partner to have. Having come this far, it might surprise you to discover that I am honestly not a proponent of requisites and specific standards; they tend to come off as incredibly meticulous and nit-picky to me. A mutual understanding between two writers and a shared respect for the craft inadvertently establishes the norms of punctuality, competency, and etiquette. The kind of writer I'm looking to work with is someone who doesn't need to see the rules to know they aren't in offense of any. Work with me in a timely-fashion, take pride in what you write, enjoy the experience, and inform me if you feel you can no longer do any of the above.

Simple. Concise. Understood?


Interests and Inclinations

Over the years, I've developed a fondness of most genres, though have somewhat of a partiality when it comes to science-fiction, modern themed, and light-fantasy genres. Separately or inclusive, it matters not; if you have an idea and you think it falls into or in between these genres go ahead and shoot it my way and we'll see what magic can be worked up. Alternatively, if you share my inclination for either genre but have no particular idea in mind, let's have a chat and see how deep our mutual appreciation runs and what similar elements we can pen out. It should be noted that I won't reject any idea on the basis of initial interest but I will reject a "specific pairing" plot lazily cast my way. I don't want you to have an entire roleplay planned out but in the very least would like for you to have a seed to plant in my mind. If you aren't terribly confident in any one idea but you have interests you would love to delve into or a fandom you're adamant on exploiting let me know. Even a cool picture that invokes awesome ideas but no real sense of direction is equally as acceptable.

Name

Nicholas Harper

Age

Twenty-nine

Nicholas Harper is a name of much repute throughout the Northeastern Territories; maybe not in its entirety but certainly in likeness. Having spent the better part of a decade earning his keep by smuggling illicit goods for those who would rather keep their hands clean, he conducts himself cautiously and intentionally. He displays the characteristic paranoia of someone who believes himself, however unjustifiably, to always possess the attention of those who he'd rather not and consequently operates to an aim of utter elusiveness. His line of work has afforded him the court of some rather morally questionable individuals though ironically enough he still retains notions of "appropriateness". The only person he ever invested any degree of trust into drowned his son after receiving divine providence that his soul could still be saved. For years, Nick had forced himself to believe that the psychotic delusions his wife suffered from were merely figments of an exhausted woman's imagination finding herself unable to accept the world as it was. Even after eleven years, the anger, depression, and self-blame have retained their vitality in his heart.


Expressing interest in a few of the ideas listed above. Specifically (in order of highest preference): Paradise Regained, The Spirits Within, Mr. and Mrs. Vengeance, and lastly--but equally as appealing as the latter-- Midnight City. That is to say these are not suggestive inclinations, I would be just as equally willing to do the latter as much as the former provided we change some of the details based on our own mutual artistic directions.

With that being said, I will briefly introduce myself. I am an avid and experienced writer. A veteran of the site: alumni from the older version before the big, fatal crash and even on that one I was considered a senior member. I have recently returned from a long hiatus from social/fictional forum writing and am looking for a partner such as yourself. Experienced, mindful of the craft, too busy IRL to demand/expect an unrealistic posting schedule. These to me aren't viewed really as requisites so much as norms, especially so for two crafted writers. If you feel that I'm compatible with your style and interest please send me a PM and we can begin discussing some of the prospective specifics for these stories.
