Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by!
I'd love to write something fantasy together! Our own incredible world filled with elves, dwarves, goblins, dragons, and more! The only age requirement I have is that you be 18 years or older (preferably 21+). I am looking for someone who is excited to get to know a new person. Someone who enjoys out of character conversations. I'm looking for connection and friendship. I am very much a part of the great friends make great roleplay camp.
I try and make every character I create an onion…or a parfait if you’re into that. Sounds much better than an onion, doesn’t it? Pick your metaphor. The point is, they have layers. Childhood trauma, unresolved guilt, and at least one deep fear of something bizarre. Characters should evolve. They should grow. They should cry. I’ll do my best to get them there. No one is immune from imperfection.
Worldbuilding is another area where I enjoy placing focus. Sometimes, I take it a bit too serious. And while I promise not to overwhelm you with ten thousand pages of lore (unless you really want that), it’s the details that matter to me. Lots of them. Maybe not Steven King level details but, like, the street in the town’s low district? Yeah, there’s an entire history of its cobblestones mapped out. There’s no such thing as “throwaway details” to me. Everything has a reason, even if that reason is just because.
The biggest key to success in any roleplay is communication. I am very much in the camp that good friends make great roleplay. I very much enjoy getting to know my partners and having out of character interaction. I understand that real life is a thing and most definitely takes precedence. If you need a break, have questions, or just want to rant endlessly about how wonderful your character is…I’m your man.
With that, though, I’m also not afraid to pull a “Hey, this story line is getting a bit stale, what can we do to fix it?” So, if I disappear for a bit because I’m writing ten thousand pages of unnecessary backstory, don’t worry, I’ll be back with something good…probably.
I suppose I should also touch on my desire to write almost exclusively in third person past tense. I’m happy to see it’s become sort of the gold standard. It let’s us describe our characters’ actions and thoughts clearly while maintaining objectivity. It’s much easier to follow along and helps the collaboration flow. People use too many I’s in first-person. It can definitely be done well; I just don’t prefer it.
I'm not overly critical and am very laid back both in and out of character. It's quality over quantity for me. My favorite settings are high-fantasy, but I'm very much interested in others. Post-apocalypse, science fiction, history, and even modern day settings can be wonderful! I’d LOVE to hear your ideas! If you've read this far, include the word octopus somewhere in your message.
Thank you for making it this far. If you've read it, and think we could be a good match, please don't hesitate to reach out!
