"I am the bone of my sword."
[March 12, 2024: Refreshing in case some fandom rpers are looking for a partner. (: Been pretty busy but the dust is settling and I have some time!]
Please Note:
A new rule I'm implementing-- that I know will not help my search, but I gotta do it-- is that I'm not interested in playing canon characters at this time. Too often I've ended up playing a canon character for someone, and all my plots and characters get ignored. I'm over it for a bit. ^^; I've spent too long catering to someone else, and feeling neglected. Don't mind cameos, or even genderbent or heavily altered canon characters, but I won't play a canon against your OC. I'm not asking for it either, unless specifically noted in a craving, in which case, equality is key and I will reciprocate.
Oh, I appear to have a pulse again..
It's been a while since I've felt an itch to get into something new, and flex some creative muscle. I recently felt a pull back to my great video game love, Mass Effect, and the urge to write an engaging rp with someone again is just... gnawing. That's not to say I won't go for something else, as well: I have a few on the list if you're not a Mass Effect junkie like myself. But we'll get to that. At the end of the day, I'm just looking for an engaging story and partner. So, to kick things off, here's a little about me:
If I haven't lost you yet, here's what I look for in a partner.
So onto fun things.
If you're still here, and still interested, please send me a message.
If I'm not your cup of tea, I hope you find what you're looking for.
Cheers!

At the end of the day, I'm just looking for an engaging story and partner. So, to kick things off, here's a little about me:
About me:
- I'm 36, and I've been rping for a long time. Like... twenty years at least. Thankfully I am a much more advanced rper than I was back then.
- I'm also a writer-- screen, mostly.
I have not yet had anything produced, but given time, and some luck, I believe I will.I have had something produced. If we get to know each other well enough, I may share!
- I write a minimum of 3-4 paragraphs, depending on action, dialogue, and what I've been given. I don't care much for labels, but for clarity's sake, I'm a fairly advanced rper. Not to say every response will be pure gold, but when I'm engaged, I do my best. That said, I also recognize that sometimes the situation calls for a two paragraphs or less, but I try to ensure that if it's short, it's 1) rare and 2) meant for impact. I expect the same.
- I play many characters-- not just types of characters (though that too) but literally, I have a plethora of characters in my mental bank, and I don't like sticking to just one. I may have a central character, but to craft an engaging and worthwhile story, you need more than one character. So I multicharacter like no one's business. On that same vein, if you have characters that are related in some way (familial or not) that you want me to play, I'm open to hearing about them.
- If there's romance (and I would like there to be as long as it's not all there is to the rp), I prefer MxF relationships. That said, as far as ME is concerned, I'm a little flexible on this, but obviously communication is key. I want us both to be happy with the rp.
- I love to plot-- but I love it more when my partner and I plot together. I do not like being the one that constantly has to move the plot forward. There's obviously a flow to an rp, so I don't want just willy-nilly action sequences that spring up out of no where, but-- you know what? This leads into my next point.
- I appreciate communication with my partner. Plot, or just general banter. It's the key to any functioning partnership. I'm friendly, a little insane, and pretty creative (I like to think) so don't hesitate when you've got an idea to just send me a PM in caps telling me ABOUT THIS AMAZING IDEA YOU HAVE. It happens, I like it. I will likely come up with plots for your characters. Please reciprocate. The story is for both of us.
- Sort of a sub-point here, but... I am not here to cater to your plots to develop your character, while mine get tossed to the side or ignored. If I feel you're not actively engaging with my plot/plans-- not pursuing hints, or ignoring obvious story beats-- I'm going to lose interest because that tells me you're only interested in yourself. Not our story.
- I love it when my partner throws things at me unexpectedly.
... plot wise.
... in the roleplay.
... please don't throw things at me. ^^;
- I prefer rping through messages, not threads.
- Do I do AU settings? Maybe. Possibly. I'm open to discussion!
- I reply when I can. My health is basically a rollercoaster-- now even more so-- so sometimes I can reply quickly, and sometimes I cannot. Some days I will be around, some days I will not. I work, have a boyfriend, and some days I pretend I'm adult and pay bills and run errands. I'm also hella patient. I'm not going to hound you for replies. I may, occasionally, send a message indicating that I'm still interested in our rp if I haven't heard from you and you haven't indicated that you're discontinuing, but it will not be rude or demanding. Just a simple reminder than when you're ready and have time, I'm here. I would appreciate the same courtesy.
- Long term would be the preference. I've had some partners for years, working on the same rp. It's delightful, but it cannot be forced. Some people you click with, and some you don't.
If I haven't lost you yet, here's what I look for in a partner.
What I'm looking for:
- Be older than 20. As mentioned, I'm 34. I like rping with people in my age group, so we can gripe about reality together. High school was a long time ago for me. I can't relate that well.
- Be friendly. Do not demand things of me, do not be disrespectful. I rp for fun and as a hobby to keep my mind sharp (and distracted). If it becomes stressful for me, I will end it. I would expect the same of you.
- If you are new to the rp scene, I am likely not a good person to start an rp with. While I state I do this as a hobby, I have in recent years developed some (unfortunately) high standards in regards to what keeps me engaged. I'm not good for beginners. Not to say you shouldn't try, but please don't get offended if I politely decline to continue after so long.
- Literacy-- it's kind of a strange term to use, I'm finding. So here's the thing: I expect punctuation, capitalization, and general proper use of the English language in our rps. You can use chat speak in OOC if that's your jam, but I cannot engage myself if I feel like I'm reading an internet chat log.
- No one-liners. I don't expect novels (unless that's your jam, in which case, go right ahead) but I detest single line replies. Even one paragraph constantly can lose my interest. It's quality over quantity, but give me something to sink my teeth into? As I previously mentioned, I recognize that sometimes the situation calls for a two paragraphs or less, but I try to ensure that if it's short, it's 1) rare and 2) meant for impact. I expect the same.
- Play multiple characters. You don't have to go to the lengths I do but I would appreciate it if you could play more than two characters. We're not going to have them all in the same room at the same time (often) so we'll try not to get ourselves overwhelmed, but I don't want to end up carrying the story because I've got all the characters. Also, as I indicated above, where I am happy to play characters related in some way to your characters, I would appreciate the same courtesy with any characters I may have, if any exist. Keep in mind as well that, if you're interest lies in a Mass Effect rp, we have a crew to fill...
- I hate saying this-- I really do, almost as much as I hate that I have to say it-- but if you come to me saying you want to play 'the female role', or if you only play female characters, we won't mesh well. I am totally fine with individuals that do that (everyone has their preference!) but that isn't what I'm looking for in a partner.
- Plot with me. It's pretty self-explanatory. Help me make something we both enjoy.
- For a Mass Effect rp, I prefer to keep the canon races only in the rp. I think it is wonderful that you have developed a new-- or ancient-- alien life form you would like to incorporate into the rp, but I'm not interested in doing so. I like to stick to the codex races and known races. I'm happy to stretch the limits of knowledge or fill in gaps where there are some in the lore, but let's keep it believable.
- I like to banter. Do you? Let's weep and wail/twist and shout about Mass Effect together. Let's talk about how much we would enjoy getting stuck in SAO. I'm also open to discussing other games/shows that have left emotional and psychological scars on us.
So onto fun things.
Mass Effect
Ah, the old itch is back. Did you know I wanted to write a Mass Effect game once? Still would. However, things being what they are, I'd love to turn that passion instead towards an engaging story with a fellow junkie.
I do have a rough plotline for this: it involves a rag-tag team of mercenaries with a code operating out of the Terminus System, some illegal tech, and the possibility of war between the Terminus System and Council Space.
I'm thinking... heists, action, romance, betrayal... you know: all the great makings of a space opera. I don't picture a huge crew: starting with maybe four to six core members to start would be best, and we can grow from there. My one request is... please bring a turian bad boy. No crew is complete without one.
(If you've played a Bioware game, you get it.)
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
I recently started playing this again, and could be down with doing an original story and characters set in this universe. :3
Dragon Age
I have played all the games. Bioware kills my soul. I would prefer to set things during the Inquisition (dibs on Inquisitor!) and if you want to do this one? Be prepared and willing to play a large cast. We're bringing everyone into this one. OCs welcome, OC x Canon wholly accepted.
(Not really looking, but you can pitch it to me. I do love the series, and I am happy to scream about the heartbreak of anyone else who fell for a certain wolf of an elven mage....)
Sword Art Online
I don't really have a plot for this, and could be persuaded to do canon-only or OC x Canon, depending on the story. I just loved the feel of Aincrad and the storyline. I'd prefer something set during the actual Aincrad arc. I've seen seasons one and two, Ordinal Scale, and I've played Fatal Bullet.
Not really feeling this one right now.
Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
I love this series in particular from the Fate Stay series-- I love playing a genderbent Shirou (Femiya). I can play genderbent Rin or Saber as well, or heavily altered characters; there's some flexibility here!
And Durarara!!
I've seen both seasons of it, and love it. I'd like to use original characters with cameos by canon ones, though I am open to canon x oc as well, as long as it's discussed. I have the vague outline of a plot in mind, as well.
If all that fails, I could also be coaxed into the following rps:
- Persona 3 (I admit, I have not played any other games in the Persona series, but 3 was amazing on so many levels. I have no idea how we'd go about it, but I figured I'd stick it up here anyway.)
- RvB (wouldn't mind playing Tex and/or Carolina) - Seen up to and including Season 15.
- Titanfall 2 - Finished it, loved it. That said, my knowledge is not fresh, but I love AI partners.
- Fate/ Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works - As mentioned, prefer AU. I wish my brother would stop getting me into animes that leave me with gaping wounds in my feels.. Finished this series. Love it. Extra points if you let me play a female Archer (Femiya). (Haha, just kidding-- that's who I'll play if we do this rp. >>)
- Original content: I thought I would add this in. I don't do original rps very often, and I'm... admittedly quite fussy about them. If you want to do something original, note that your best bet is with anything urban fantasy/modern supernatural. I don't do slice of life, normal rps. They bore me, sadly. Gotta have some sort of supernatural/fantasy kick to it. And I prefer modern or futuristic, rather than historical.
Though for any of the above, you may need to have a plot.
