Your support makes Blue Moon possible (Patreon)Alright. I'm going to make this short and simple. My name is Lewis.. I've been role-playing for a decently long time. At least long enough to remember the Yahoo Messenger RP chatrooms in their prime. Good times.
Just perusing the forums for the last couple of days have given me kind of an idea on how to do this.. Step one seems to be talking about yourself and trying to provide a hook.
Hook: Step right up! Do you desire to adventure?! Then look no further because Doc Dapper is your man! Want to rape villages? Steal women? And Plunder the horses? You've come to the right place!
I do tend to be a fan looking on the lighter side of things.. So if you want something dark and dramatic, then I'm probably not the dude for you.
The next part seems to be ground rules.
1-Post length: Don't care. I like to say I'm not much of a typer, but then sometimes that one partner comes in and gets me motivated to type a novella. As long as everything that needs to be said, gets said, I'm happy.
2-Venue: I'd prefer to do all of our roleplaying via PM. If you'd like to do it in threads then that's okay too. If you insist on using some sort of IM'ing service, then you better have a decent plot/hook/idea in mind, because I'd have to download shit.. And I don't wanna do that..
3-Posting frequency: I'm a college student working 15 hours a week, currently on summer break, so I should be able to reply every day, to every few days.. As of late, I've been spending my days off drinking, so I'm stuck at home, which means I'm either on the PS3, or the PC all day. So if you catch me whilst I'm online, be might be able to simply volley posts back and forth too!
Next up, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to insert different genres, settings, and possible character pairings here right?
Fan-based stuff.
I'm not entirely opposed to fan-based role plays. My only caveat is that I refuse to not play at least a mostly-original character. For instance, say we're playing in the Django: Unchained universe. (Chosen simply because I happen to have it playing in the background.) Even though I have a hardcore man-crush on Christoph Waltz and Dr. King Schultz, I wouldn't want to play as him(This example isn't really fair, because it would be impossible to do him justice, but you catch my drift.) Maybe I'd play as random gunman 7 on Calvin Candy's farm, or a shop keeper.. But I'm not a fan of playing a preexisting character.
One more thing that I'm opposed to, is the vampire genre.. I just don't like it. Sorry.
Most anything else, I'm 100% open to. Really.. Just ask..
Somethings I happen to really like however...
Sci-fi/space themed-
I'd love to play as a crew-member aboard some intergalactic vessel.. Be it a military vessel, where I'm your redshirt wearing engineer, or maybe a stolen ship, and I'm the captain of a gang of space-pirates! Total awesome sauce..
Medieval-fantasy-
I used to play a lot of Dungeons and Dragons, and sadly half of my group moved away two years ago, and I haven't gotten to play since. I do still rather enjoy this genre though. One idea I've never gotten to play out, is being the body guard to a restless princess, who is always getting herself caught up in random shenanigans, and I have to rescue her.
Modern/realistic-
I know this one is weird. Some people love it, and other hate it. I enjoy it myself. I know we have a whole world to explore, but if you'd like I'm more than happy with being your quirky neighbor, or that one cool guy who sits next to you in your Philosophy class. Also, weird, super-natural spins on this can sometimes be neat and fun.
That's really all I have. Like I said. I'm open for most ideas, so just shoot. Worst that can happen is that I say no right?
Thanks folks! Hope I find some fun partners.
