Hi! Just call me Gadg-eight-eer. I was born in the early 90s and my author avatar is a reflection of how I just sort of stopped caring about my physical age shortly before I turned 11. I've been roleplaying since the late 00s but it seems even sites from as recent as 7 years ago are no longer around. I've been busy in that time with everything from writing a never-completed novel about alternate timelines, to a total mental breakdown, to trips to South America to visit relatives, to publishing a book of short stories, to moving ~1000 km from my hometown of 25 years since then. I'm asexual so I'm glad this place has rules against sexual roleplay; it would be a pain having to restrict that kind of thing myself.
My favorite pieces of media are Pokémon, Codename: Kids Next Door, Animal Crossing, Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2, the newer (post-San Andreas) Grand Theft Auto games, Spore, Inception, Nobilis (well, the 3rd Edition anyway), Starbound, Splatoon, American Truck Simulator, the No Game No Life anime (as horribly riddled with Isekai clichés as it is), Glitch Techs and Star Citizen. Now would probably be a good time to mention I consume a lot of fiction and keep relatively close tabs on what I've seen going back over a decade.
Fair warning, I can't stand seeing children die in works of fiction, even RPs. This includes large numbers of people dying (say, a small city or large airliner) that is broad enough that one or more children not being among the dead would be inconceivable in real life. I'll give a pass for backstories as long as it's not a horrifying gorefest, but it will not be allowed over the progression of any of my RPs and I will be leaving any RP where it happens and the creator decides to allow it.
Aside from that, access to at least clockwork technology is something I look for in an RP setting, and I have a particular interest in "Y2K Aesthetic". Any level of magic is fine, but I prefer when said magic is either on-par with the capabilities of technology, or can be easily combined with the inferior technology to create hybrid mechanisms that make magic's superiority more palatable. Keep in mind that I mean either "swords and sorcery" magic, "Harry Potter" style magic, or Eastern Mysticism style magic like chi energy; Things like superheroes, ghosts, psychics/psionics, and angels and demons just seem to mesh better with my perceptions of tech than wizards or gurus.
Despite all this, I respect the intent of an RP. If I like your setting, I'll ask questions to be sure whether my character can fit into it without feeling shoehorned, but I try to have enough sense to not ask for any changes to be made to the setting on my behalf, and I am willing to modify the "baseline" interpretation of my character to fit your world better.
Sorry for the wall of text! I hope I can have fun in this community without running into any conflicts, and will do my best not to be the start of an argument.
Welcome to RPN! ^^
