INTRO
howdy, i'm mast! i am 21, i use any pronouns (go wild), and i am craving some new roleplays to keep me sane as finals roll around.
click the tabs above to navigate. from left to right, we have: intro (you are here), rules/expectations, fandoms/characters, and a writing sample.
EXPECTATIONS
– please be 18+.
– i'm down to write any gender and pairing. i'll do canon/canon, canon/oc, and oc/oc. love is love. if you want to do canon/oc (or some canon/canon's), i'll probably ask that we double.
– at a minimum, i can kick out 1-2 posts per week. if you're looking for someone who can reply multiple times per day, i'm probably not your guy. on the flip side, my patience is infinite (or close enough to it). i won't hound you for replies. reply as often or as little as you want. you're doing amazing.
– i tend to match posts, though ~300-500 words is generally the sweet spot for me. lengths can definitely vary as the pace of the scene changes, with shorter posts for fast-paced scenes and longer ones for those funky, introspective moments. the bottom line is, i'm flexible, but i'm not looking to consistently write one-liners or one paragraph posts.
– i never learned what "literate" or "advanced literate" means in the context of roleplay, and, at this point, i'm too afraid to ask. that said, i'm looking for someone with a decent grasp of grammar, punctuation, and all that fun stuff. obviously, mistakes are a-okay. 10 points to gryffindor if you can spot all the errors in this ad. just looking for effort here. interesting word choice and sentence structure? sign me up. please, nothing where your character smirks 3 times within a single paragraph. i'm not strong enough.
– on a related note, i've thrown a writing sample in another tab. i would really appreciate it if you could give it a skim and make sure our styles/skill levels will mesh!
– as long as heavy topics are treated respectfully (i.e., not as angst fuel), not much bothers me. but, if you have topics you want to avoid for whatever reason, let me know!
– i prefer to write in discord or pm's. if you prefer another platform, just ask!
– if you're interested, shoot me a pm! if you can't message me for whatever reason, drop a note here, and i'll get to you as soon as i can.
FANDOMS
current cravings for fandoms/characters/pairings are marked with *.
THE EXPANSE *
space politics, my love. ♡ i've only read the first 3 books, and i probably won't have time to watch the new season for a bit. no spoilies, please.
open to: cc/cc*, cc/oc, oc/oc.
i can play: amos burton, prax meng, julie mao.
i am looking for: anyone, especially miller – his romanticization of a woman he's never met and his overall dysfunction is fascinating and i want to put him under a microscope.
MARVEL (CINEMATIC UNIVERSE) *
what can i say. i love my popcorn films. my knowledge of the comics is unfortunately 0, but i'm willing to learn if you can point me in the right direction.
open to: cc/cc, cc/oc*. doubling required.
i can play: bruce banner, bucky barnes, quentin beck, mobius m. mobius, scott lang, steve rogers, natasha romanoff, possibly others upon request.
i am looking for: loki*, most anyone.
MY HERO ACADEMIA
NOTE: i'm not interested in a standalone roleplay of this. this is only an option if you're playing a canon in another fandom for me and you really have a hankering for mha. i'm not current with the manga, but i can catch up if necessary!
open to: cc/cc, cc/oc, oc/oc. doubling required, as per above.
i can play: mina ashido, tsuyu asui, nejire hado, izuku midoriya, sir nighteye, rei todoroki, naomasa tsukauchi, ochako uraraka, toshinori yagi, possibly others upon request.
i am looking for: whoever your heart desires.
POKEMON
you can't go wrong with superpowered animals engaging in life-threatening battles in a desperate bid to please their masters. whether we build something from the base games, explore the mystery dungeon series, or rework the universe with a gritty premise that is so often utilized in fanfic yet i can't get enough of, i'm game. [badum tss.]
open to: oc/oc.
SENSE8 *
the found family of it all... not sure i have the necessary number of braincells to write half a cluster, but a focus on 1-2 characters per person could be fun!
open to: oc/oc.
STAR TREK
a staple. it is with the deepest regret that i must tell you, i don't care about AOS. just putting that out there since that seems to be the most popular series here. TNG, DS9, and DIS have some of my favorite settings/casts, but i'm down for most any iteration. star trek is star trek.
open to: cc/cc, cc/oc, oc/oc.
i can play: hugh culber, data, kira nerys, tora ziyal.
i am looking for: anyone.
WRITING SAMPLE
just a little blurb featuring magnus from the adventure zone. when you give amousehimbo acookiestove.
Fire consumes without discrimination. Violent, capricious, persistent – no wonder the element spawned dozens of cliched expressions. He had eyes like burning coals. There's a fire in her belly. We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
One might think a carpenter would be acutely aware of fire's devastating nature. Flames fly and spread and latch onto whatever they can. Timber remains an ever-affectionate favorite. The temptation of setting kindling alight is too much for any spark to resist. Once those sparks connect with their target, it's all over. Days, weeks, months of work – fwoosh. Smoke and mirrors, but without the mirrors. Seeing as it is the preamble to a craftsman's worst nightmare, it is only reasonable to assume most carpenters would be hypervigilant of any incendiaries in the area.
Magnus stares at the smoking pan, at the blackened batter giving way to pops of orange. Magnus is the protector. Magnus is the fighter. Magnus is the bringer of death and destruction for clean kitchens.
Magnus is not most carpenters.
He hisses through his teeth. The pan hisses back.
"I'm not scared of you," he insists. The growing embers appear unimpressed by his valiant attempt at bravado. A swipe of his oven mitt only encourages the flames and provides a vehicle for a hitchhiker. 0 days have passed since the last article of clothing has been scorched. Magnus dumps the mitt in the sink, where it joins the army of cookware that had fallen in his attempt to produce a single batch of pancakes. Oh, the unending cruelty of war! Further casualties include two aprons (don't ask) and the curtains framing the window. Taako swore he enchanted the fabric with some forever clean spell. Right now, Magnus sees more flour than flowers on the floral print; he's inclined to think Taako was full of shit.
A click of the tongue, a glance back at his monstrosity in the making. He shifts from foot to foot, no doubt testing the limits of his (fluffy, pink, two sizes too small) slippers. The last time – because isn't there always one? – he tried putting out a fire in the kitchen, he'd been chewed out for almost dousing a grease fire in water. How was he supposed to know? He isn't Smokey the Bugbear.
If you can't take the heat…
While he isn't quite sure grease fire logic applies here, the risk of eviscerating his facial hair appeals little to him. Still clinging desperately to the cast-iron nightmare, he yanks the pan off the burner, takes a step back, and leans out the kitchen doorway. One hand cups around his mouth to give his voice the extra boost that it most certainly does not need. He hopes the entire household hadn't been counting on sleeping in.
"Hey, guys? Is anyone proficient in putting out fires? Just wondering 'cause it's, uh, getting kinda spicy in here."
