Chitchat Let's chat!

[Valky-Nyan]

Here's an incredibly unfinished idea:

Spoiler: Synposis

In Halcyon, Espers and magicians both openly exist. Despite this, though, the two sides have been at bloody odds with one another for centuries. Their seemingly endless conflict, however, came to a sudden end in The Final War, after it was interrupted by otherwordly invaders. When Lovecraftian abominations filter into their world by unknown means, the two territories of Regis Maxim and Elslandia put their differences aside to fight together.

That was fifteen years ago.

Nicknamed "Cryptids", these abominations have quite the chokehold over Halcyon nowadays. Some have taken to roaming in "compromised zones" within Halcyon, such as a mountainous region that separates Elslandia and Regis Maxim, now mostly abandoned and referred to as No Man's Land. Others, though, pose a much stronger threat: the ability to blend in with society. Ambitious, cunning, capable of reason — nobody quite knows the extent of their abilities. Or what they want. All that is known is that they pose a threat to Halcyon and they are not welcome.

And, in order to combat this menace, military academies have begun to appear across Halcyon.

The entire interest check is a mess because I barely got any sleep, but uuuugh. I really wanted to finish it tonight.

My honest opinion?

It gets the juice flowing. A potential writing buddy will see this as an opportunity to worldbuild with you as you guys go through the motions. It gives enough info without hyperfixating on trivial details, reads well and has a solid idea of an uneasy alliance at its core.

The only things that you really need to add is what you look for/expect from your writing partner and then you are pretty much set.

How do you feel about that? What do you dislike about your current writeup?

This is the very unfinished interest check itself. Warning for very bad.

• Hello there!
  
  I'm Sorin, but you can call me whatever you'd like. I'm twenty-five years old, respond to any pronouns, and live somewhere in a suburb of Philadelphia. I'm currently working my way, albeit very slowly, towards a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering. I've also been on the hunt for a part-time job, but that's been neither here nor there, and I've been having a difficult time with it. Considering that it's summer and I'm without summer classes, though, I desperately need something to do, so despite my misgivings about myself and my writing, I'm creating this!
  
  And if you're interested in magicians and psychics fighting monsters, please read on!
• 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.
  My schedule is fairly open at the moment though that's bound to change once I find a job soon and then again when I return to college in the fall. I'll also be very busy during the second week and third week of July. Aside from that, though, I'm fairly free and I like to check this site at multiple points throughout the day. I'm usually active between 2 PM to 1 AM EST to at least respond to OOC chatter, but I'm slow as molasses when it comes to responses. I can't even make a promise as to how quickly you'll get them between my slow posting speed and overall slew of issues when it comes to my terrible mental health, but at the very least, I'll try to talk OOC.
  
  𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
  I love talking and plotting out of character. I would prefer to be friends with someone first and Roleplaying partners with them second, so if this sounds uncomfortable to you, then I'd suggest pass on writing with me. I would like to have a writing partner that I could talk to about unrelated topics, including the possibility of another Roleplay should we get bored with our initial idea and want to swap, or need to take hiatuses for any reason at all. When it comes to OOC chatter related to the Roleplay itself, I love making playlists, mood boards, discussing what-ifs, and even occasionally write one-shot fanfictions! In terms of dropping Roleplays, I should note that I'm 100% ghost friendly and will not hold it against you if you ghost me, even if you decide later down the line that you'd like to write with me, nor will I seek you out if you ghost me.
  
  𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.
  Characters are and always will be my focus. I only write ensemble casts with the possibility of a single main character and this is no longer negotiable. I have at least a hundred OCs at this point in my life and I struggle to choose which of my darlings to use, so I like to have more options. When it comes to my casts, I prefer to write diverse ones with a variety of ages, sexualities, gender identities, nationalities, ethnical backgrounds, and so on, so I'm sure that I have someone that would be of interest to everyone! I only use anime-styled and artistic faceclaims as I do not feel comfortable using the appearances of real people to portray my OCs.
  
  𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.
  I've been Roleplaying for about fourteen years now. I started on Chatango and have since taken a global tour of the internet. I've written on Tumblr, Xat, Skype, MSN, RoleplayerGuild, IwakuRoleplay, Discord, Facebook, and even RPNation. I'm most adjusted with Discord Roleplays, admittedly, but I'm really anxious about adding new folks, so I may be more comfortable with site threads or PMs at the moment. There may be a chance that I'd be willing to switch to Discord.
  
  𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
  I do not write plots involving beastiality, rape, incest, pedophilia, graphic animal abuse, or any form of NSFW sexual content. If spicy scenes appear, then fade-to-black is the only option when it comes to me. I also have no patience for meta-gaming, godmodding, Mary Sues/Gary Stus, and/or forced romance, so partners that commit these cardinal sins will be immediately dropped.
  
  𝗹𝗴𝗯𝘁𝗾𝗮+.
  I'm part of the community and most of the characters I write are as well. If this makes you uncomfortable at all, then please pass on writing with me. Having representation in my writing is extremely important to me and this is not a point that I'm flexible on. That said, I also play characters not in the community, but I'm not interested in writing with someone who does not respect the characters that are.
  
  𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.
  Romance is fun, but it is never my primary focus. I much prefer character development and plot though I'm never against a little fluff as a side dish. I'm open to writing heterosexual, homosexual, and polyromantic relationships as long as there's natural chemistry or it's been pre-planned. I'm love writing platonic relationships, rivalries, and family dynamics if that's more of your speed too. To me, the perfect Roleplay has both kinds of dynamics.
  
  𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝗶 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲.
  Cosmic horror, disease arcs, revolution and rebellion, exploring darker topics, etc. I like to include themes of mental illness, addiction, trauma, abuse, transphobia, homophobia, racism, etc, in my Roleplays. I'll never ever glorify or defend any of these issues, but I do like to explore it in character plots or stories and see how they ultimately overcome it. That said, this not permission for someone to come at me with plots romanticizing abusive relationships or characters that are walking angstfests. Bigoted characters are also welcomed, but if it applies to you as writer, then I'll be dropping you yesterday.
  
  𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲.
  I write in third person perspective, past tense, with A- grammar. I prefer quality over quantity. I also write like I'm publishing a scientific journal instead of a novel, so my writing can be a little robotic at times and I'm still learning descriptions, so you'll have to bear with me. You can expect anywhere from one line to one or two paragraphs. I'm somewhat of a lazy writer, I won't lie, so I'd like to write with a somewhat lazy partner too.
  
  𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.
  I have no love for character sheets, so I am no longer interested in writing them. I will provide faceclaims, basic information, and a single paragraph for each character that I use.
• 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
  I would like to have a partner that is willing to add their own tweaks and additions to whatever plot we're writing. I don't have all of my ideas planned out, nor do I want, so I'd like for people to come at me with their own ideas too. That said, this is not permission for folks to come at me with my own ideas and talk over me with their own wants and desires. If you do that, then I'm dropping you.
  
  𝗮𝗴𝗲.
  I'm twenty-five and I ask for partners closer to my age for comfort reasons. I'd prefer writing with someone over twenty-one, but I'm flexible to write with folks as young as eighteen. I don't have an upward limit in terms of what age I feel comfortable writing with.
  
  𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.
  I would prefer to write with someone that is comfortable with writing an ensemble cast even if this would be their first attempt at it.
  
  𝗼𝗼𝗰.
  OOC talk and plotting is pretty much a requirement for me.
  
  𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.
  I write slow as molasses or as quick as a gun pulled in an old western movie. Whichever you get, I just ask that you're patient with me. Thank you.
  
  𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.
  I ask that people do not respond to me by literally addressing or regurgitating every point in a post or DM. That's not fun. It feels like I'm having a one-sided conversation with myself after a while. I know this is such a weird thing to complain about it, but it's so draining and it hardly ever adds anything new. Also, I ask that interested parties have read the first two tabs in their entirety before moving on too.

• This Roleplay takes placed in the world of Halcyon (can be renamed) and is heavily focused on the first ever "mixed unit" that is training at a military academy in neutral territory to fight the Cryptid threat. Characters in this unit would either hail from Elslandia (land of the mages, can be renamed), Regis Maxim (land of the Espers, can be renamed), or neutral territories (the edges of No Man's Land, islands in the stretch of sea between the two continents, etc). There are a few races available for us to play:
  
  Espers: Humans with the ability to tap into psychical abilities. They're most at home in Regis Maxim, tend to skew towards agnostic beliefs, and sport attire that is more "futuristic" in appearance. Many rely on electronics and Stardust, fine powder mined from asteroids with magical potential, for their day-to-day functions.
  
  Magicians: Humans with the ability to cast magic. They're most at home in Elslandia, tend to skew towards animistic beliefs, and appear more of what you'd picture when it comes to traditional fantasy genres. Due to the dangers of raw ether, all magicians require use of conduct, which is any inanimate object (ex: tome, scroll, book, jewelry, weapon, clothing, etc.) that allows them to cast magic. Unlike espers, magicians have "tells" when using their magic in the appearance of glowing glyphs.
  
  Wildfolk: Humanoids with one or more animalistic trait(s). These are not anthro characters, but more or less inspired by Faunus from RWBY. Wildfolk may occasionally possess psychical talents and/or the ability to cast magic, but they will never considered among the ranks of magicians or Espers due to their lower class status. Wildfolk are freed in both territories, but were previously owned as slaves in Regis Maxim until the Peace Accords of twelve years ago. Nowadays, they simply fill lower ranking positions in both Elslandia and Regis Maxim. Some, though, have taken to the extremist ways of The Black Claw, whose brutal ideology has begun cropping up in Elslandia.

Ahh, thank you. You're too kind.

 

[Valky-Nyan]

Ahh, thank you. You're too kind.

It sets the mood nicely!

I’m playing stranded deep. I would have loved to have a friend to play with but you hafto pay on the switch to play online. Monthly. What ever happened to playing with people for free??

I had no clue Switch needed a sub for online play. Ugh.

 

[Kaiju Cat]

It sets the mood nicely!

I had no clue Switch needed a sub for online play. Ugh.

Yeah it sucks :;

 

[Nokumi]

It sets the mood nicely!

I had no clue Switch needed a sub for online play. Ugh.

Ya… you gotta pay money for monthly online play… it’s so not fair

 

[Nokumi]

Like why am I paying YOU to play with MY friends

 

[Nokumi]

UHG

 

[Nokumi]

If I become president or anyone of importance I’m making everything cheaper and also I’m making it ILLEGAL to charge people to play online with other people

 

[Sorin]

Having to pay for an online subscription is probably the least problematic part of Nintendo's model too.

 

[Nokumi]

M.... I'm not sure? I haven't really noticed anything else other than the OUTRAGEOUS prices. A single game for Nintendo switch COST 50 DOLLARS!!!!

 

[Nokumi]

Your be lucky to find a good use worth 20 dollars

 

[Nokumi]

I only ever found one game worth 15 dollars that was decent game

 

[Sorin]

M.... I'm not sure? I haven't really noticed anything else other than the OUTRAGEOUS prices. A single game for Nintendo switch COST 50 DOLLARS!!!!

They put a man in jail for life for modding their consoles. And now that he's released from prison, he's required to pay about 30% of his income for life. They've also gone after numerous YouTube channels and streamers for making money off of playing their games, including the most notably recent one, PointCrow. Not to mention the NUMEROUS amounts of time that they shut down fan-made tournaments, especially Smash related ones, including I believe some for charity in the past (I need to double check this one). All the while they've been pushing out half-baked products, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons which was only worth the $60 price after like two years of multiple updates and the newer Pokemon games which are hollow and empty. I love Nintendo consoles and games, but I do not love their company. They do whatever they take to make things difficult for their fans and the feeling is mutual.

 

[Nokumi]

Oh wow, I had no clue..... I'll definitely crack down hard on them

 

[Sorin]

Oh wow, I had no clue..... I'll definitely crack down hard on them

I encourage everyone to come to their own conclusion, but I'm definitely not a fan of them. Or most corporations, really.

Sadly we need corporations

Question Of The Day (6/5/2023):
Do you believe in spirits?​

Yes, I do. There was a long period where I didn't, but after enough spoooooky happenings in my life, I decided that I am a believer.

 

[Nokumi]

Yes, I do. There was a long period where I didn't, but after enough spoooooky happenings in my life, I decided that I am a believer.

I do too. But mainly because I saw a ghost with my very own eyes and people to confirm it w asnt my imagination. That's a story for another time tho

 

[Kaiju Cat]

I think I saw my grandma and she’s probs haunts my house.

 

[MxKit]

Hi, Sorin! It's nice to meet you. You seem pretty cool so I'd love to chat; I've been wanting to chat a bit more on these forums anyway, and this thread seems like a really nice place to hang out.

As for spirits, I'm not sure if I believe in them, but I also don't disbelieve in them. I feel like they could exist, but I think it's also difficult to pinpoint what they are if they do. The idea fascinates me, though, and I definitely want to believe that something persists after death...

But that's a bit heavy, so to bounce back a couple days: A roleplay I really want to write right now is something post-canon for the game Balan Wonderworld! It's a video game that did not have the best reception when it came out a couple years ago, and a good number of the complaints were legitimate. But I don't know, I actually really like it. I got a copy for under $8, so that's probably at least part of why I'm a lot less hard on it than the people who got it for $40-65, but a lot about it is fun and relaxing to me, despite its imperfections. And I actually like the weird almost-no-dialogue way it presents its story. (And honestly, I like the story as presented in the game, with all its limitations, to the one put forward in the tie-in novel, which is rough because I feel like a lot of the people who actually are fans like the novel story way more...)

But I'd love to do something set after all the "Inhabitants" come out of Wonderworld, especially given the credits sequence showing that some of them were from, like, a full decade prior to some others? So some situation where, whether it's been ten years or less than a year, some chance meetings get them to start searching each other out, and all twelve of them wind up with the goal of a)finding Leo and Emma as the Final Two and b)finding the Wonderworld theater so they can see Balan again. With maybe a side-plot following Balan and Lance. I'd love this for a 1x1 frankly, even if it meant we'd both be playing like 8 characters, but I'd be open to a group thing too, I just... want to play in this world. And it'd be a bonus if I could find someone interested in my Weird Ships, too!

Question Of The Day (6/5/2023):
Do you believe in spirits?

Oh, that's a good question. You see, I'm not all too sure. I did explore a weird, creepy, burnt-down house which had some intact belongings inside. By intact, I mean they were pristine, unopened things made in the 1980/90s, and my bout of exploration was when I was but a wee Valky at some maybe ten years of age around '07. Lil' me could swear feeling some sort of presence, but in hindsight the whole place was just very weird and I've no idea how I had the moxie to do that. Not only was it extremely dangerous (due to the place being burnt to a crisp), but it was also very spooky.

But that's a bit heavy, so to bounce back a couple days: A roleplay I really want to write right now is something post-canon for the game Balan Wonderworld! It's a video game that did not have the best reception when it came out a couple years ago, and a good number of the complaints were legitimate. But I don't know, I actually really like it. I got a copy for under $8, so that's probably at least part of why I'm a lot less hard on it than the people who got it for $40-65, but a lot about it is fun and relaxing to me, despite its imperfections. And I actually like the weird almost-no-dialogue way it presents its story. (And honestly, I like the story as presented in the game, with all its limitations, to the one put forward in the tie-in novel, which is rough because I feel like a lot of the people who actually are fans like the novel story way more...)

Wow, this (for some reason) reminds me of the Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil game. Same sort of vibe! I hope you find what you're looking for, though!

I think I saw my grandma and she’s probs haunts my house.

Hopefully she's good company! If you're being haunted by a ghost who's just there to vibe, then that's a good thing. If not... oop!

Ok now I have the energy to tell the tale of how I saw a ghost

I’m schizophrenic so I naturally see and hear things that aren’t really there. And sometimes my brain tricks me into feeling them too! Odd I know. Bare with me here.

One night I was sleeping and this was when it was more than just me and my dad living here. There was 3 other people who stayed in the house. One of them being my dads at the time girlfriend and the other 2 was that girlfriends daughter and daughters husband.

I woke up with the eerie feeling of being watched and looked to the end corner of my bed where I felt it and clear as day I saw a man watching me at the end of the bed before he fades just as quickly as I spotted him. He turned away as he was fading.

I was scared at first but then thought. Maybe it’s my schizophrenia acting up in the middle of the night. So I went back to bed.

But by the morning when I woke up…. Something compelled me to say something. So I went out on the front porch where everyone was and sat down telling them I saw a man staring at me from the end of my bed.

They asked me to describe him. So I did. Short hair. Not skinny but not too heavy either. Short sleeve shirt. And my dad and his at the time girlfriend turned to look at eachother.

Confused I watched them stare in awe a moment before she asked my dad “you know who that sounds like??” And my dad only nodded with a mhm. So she walked inside and went to go grab something. And came out with a picture I have never seen before. She’s never talked about this man in the picture either.

She asked me “is this who you saw?” And I said “ya” and she said “that’s my grandpa he died when I was 16” keep in mind she’s over 50 years old this was dons ago and then she said “I never leave this picture out I hide it in my closet and I never tell people about my grandpa cuz many people see him”

And to this day I believe in ghost cuz I saw one
