I have been a member for a while now and thought I would send out a request again.
I am a 38 year old storyteller. Please note that I call myself a storyteller, not a roleplayer. In my humble opinion all storytellers are roleplayers but not all roleplayers are storytellers. I have used roleplay for over 15 years as a story telling medium, and I will be entirely honest my standards are very high.
~ I am looking for mature players. Age often denotes a more mature outlook and sensibility, but I have met some very gifted and level-headed younger writers. That said, I will NOT play with "blue stars" ever. Period. Good stories often take romantic turns and as a storyteller I love to weave romance through my tales and doing so with underage writers is inappropriate for a person my age in my opinion.
~ While grammar and punctuation do not have to be perfect in a good story but they should be consistently present, however, my hard and fast rule is "Paragraphs and Periods". I use paragraphs and periods to clearly denote the end of statements and sequences of action or thought, and desire partners who do the same.
~ My character or characters and the time I give to them are not toys. They are my talent, which I have been told for many years is quite good, and my time, which is precious. I see each of my partner's characters and my partner's time as just as valuable. Players who "bore and ignore" their commitments will not win my praise or friendship.
~ Whatever posting frequency we agree to in the beginning I will do my very best to meet and maintain. I expect the same.
~ I am seeking partners, not literary vampires who want to feed off my creative energy while contributing nothing. The ability to set hooks and take the bait are marks of a true teller of tales.
~ I can play both male and female characters in many varied settings and time periods. I tend to avoid historical because I feel it is too easy to mess with the "facts". My stories do not have to be libertine in nature. I am quite comfortable with fading to black.
And lastly,
Sometimes, even when I find other storytellers who share similar preferences and story interests, we simply do not click. Therefore, if I am not certain before going into a story about a player, I will ask for a trial period, usually lasting through the introductions of our characters. At which time, I give myself and my partner the chance to leave without hard feelings or discomfort.
I do not have any set "pairings" or plot ideas to share. Below is a list of things that interest me and things that do not.

~ Characters who are "human", meaning driven by a moral or ethical code as opposed to base animal instinct. Their code does NOT have to be in line with generally accepted social mores. ~ Male characters who have a sense of humor whether good or evil. ~ Female characters who don't think being a nurturer is a bad thing to be but don't think that means they have to be fragile. ~Believability and accuracy. ~ Supernatural ~Fantasy ~Scifi adventures ~Players who like Doctor Who, Star Wars/Trek/Gate, and most importantly Firefly! ~Artfully crafted action |
~ Over- powered characters, even in supernatural or powered characters with no discernible guiding principles. ~Male characters who are whiny, childish or child-like, who brood constantly. ~Female characters who are bitchy badasses. ~Historical romances ~Vampires. ~Lord of the Rings elf knock-offs ~A.I. ~Fandoms ~Anime and its physics |
