@Randomguy I'm more interested in the Isekai experience than world building.
World building is fun too, but I am just out to enjoy a light hearted adventure, formulaic perhaps, but with a nice share of surprises. I typically world build only when it's needed and not beforehand, just incase the material becomes useless because of a great flood or something like that.
Call me Zeph (or Zeff if you prefer). I'm a dude and typically want to play a male role for my main. I've been roleplaying for a long long time. I'm typically most comfortable in a fantasy setting, albeit I've broken out into post apocalypse and some sci-fi RPs which turned out okay. Lately, I've been hooked on several anime that I've been following. Many are Isekai, but not all. And I've got a serious itch to get an anime inspired RP going.
Here's a list of Anime I wouldn't mind just carbon copying and running with. However, this list is hardly complete. Feel free to suggest other Anime, just as long as they are sorta down the same line of stories as these. I'd be happy to give a new anime a watch.
Isekai - How Not to Summon a Demon Lord - The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in a Different World as an Aristocrat - The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure: Serving Gods Who Go Too Far - The Great Cleric - The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic - Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers - The Familiar of Zero - Black Summoner - Overlord - Rising of the Shield Hero - Log Horizon
Non-Isekai - The Hidden Dungeon only I can enter - Beast Tamer - BASTARD!!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy - The Unwanted Undead Adventurer - The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt - The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids: A Tank with a Rare 9999 Resistance Skill Got Kicked from the Hero's Party - An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride - Solo Levelling
Anyway, I'm open to ideas on how to run stories like these. If you want to balance power, start at a specific moment in time, use an OC, change one thing in the world settings, replay a portion of the story with our own creative touch, or any other changes, I'm definitely open to it. However, before long, our story should look very different than the anime.
One idea I'm fond of is if we were both playing overpowered MCs, we could each DM each other, so to speak, and control the other people in the each other's MCs experience, eventually building up to a showdown, where our MCs are somehow pitted against each other with huge collateral damages.
Anyway since no one likes surprises here's a basic list of my RP expectations/habits.
- I post typically once per day. Possibly more on weekends. - I'd prefer to post here in PMs, however email or discord are an option for those so inclined. - I like mature themes including sexy times (18+ partners please). However, sexy times should never dominate the RP. Maybe 20% writing max. It should fit the story. - I am hetero and typically only want to do hetero romances. - I control multiple characters, male and female, old & young, etc. I expect you to do the same. If a typical anime harem environment really makes you cringe, I'm probably not a good partner for you because I crave it more often than not. - I typically write a few paragraphs, especially if our MCs are interacting closely. If I have bigger ideas, I can go and write a few pages. This often happens with openers and other early posts. - I only have so much RAM in my head and a busy life. Therefore, if we don't post for more than say 48 hours... sometimes I'll lose my train of thought and forget virtually everything. The longer it is obviously the worse it is. I'm doing my best to overcome this weakness by writing good notes to myself and rereading the RP. But it's still a weakness of mine and a high possibility if an RP is dropped for too long, it could mean the RP is doomed. - I'd like it if we had an OFD (open frank discussion) about expectations with the RP before we start. And every once in a while as needed. I find it helps knowing what will please my partner and thereby keeps the story running with both parties happy. If you are a closed book offering no feedback, I will eventually grind to a halt wondering what gives. - I'm here to have fun and help you to have fun. I expect similar energy from my partner.
