Hello! I am a 21-year old male. My timezone is CET/UTC+1 but I work flexible hours so can acclimate easily enough to any prospecting partners; I should note that I am not a native English speaker, but I have been writing for long enough that my errors *should* be minimal. I am looking for a long-term roleplay partner who is patient, able to write 1000~ characters minimum per post, and is willing to conduct our OOC discussion and subsequent roleplay over discord. My goal is to collaborate on a greater narrative with somebody likeminded and dedicated; we should share mutual responsibility and communicate clearly, as such.

I do not mind delays between posts, but at minimum would like to aim for at least a few responses a week. More would be lovely, but I want patience, and will show patience.

As for themes, I am inexperienced when it comes to writing romance, but I am willing to give it a shot if our characters have appropriate chemistry. I am not very interested in simple, slice-of-life plots, and would prefer if we worked together on an overarching narrative, driven by our characters. I am open to darker themes and concepts, but have no interest in smut or graphic content without any substance. We can work out the particulars together. I have this post marked NSFW because I am not opposed to darker themes in of themselves, to be clear.

Recently, I have been very into sci-fi, and would love to come up with an original setting with you, should that strike your fancy. My interests include speculative evolution, xenofiction, conlanging, and more. But if you would prefer we go with something pre-established, below is a list of franchises that presently interest me, though do note I only write OCs:

- Fallout*

The isometric games and NV are my primary focus; I have not watched the show, but I do not dislike the Bethesda stuff. The West Coast has a lot of rich material to work with. My mind is always drawn to how Ulysses warned of the tunnelers levelling civilisation, making every previous effort and hard-fought triumph moot. A mindless animal does not make for a very compelling threat, so what if somebody sought to use them in some way? A new Master-like figure looking to wipe the slate clean and start anew?

- Mass Effect*

One thing I often think about is the fallout of the war against the Reapers; the Asari would be politically ruined, the Salarians would probably be quite well-off and able to pull strings to make themselves look good post-war, etc. The biggest loose end, though, are the Leviathans. They have not learned their lesson, and we could explore this. It was not a good idea to seek them out and draw their attention, as they have come to stake their claim on the only cycle to have survived their primordial mistake, one they are doomed to repeat. Our characters may be among the few who have the will and means to stop them. I have always wanted to write a Salarian STG agent.

My idea for a plot in the Mass Effect setting would be the above; our characters would be living in the galaxy post-Reaper invasion, and become aware of an old, impending threat, one that has not learned any lessons. Like Shepard, support for our characters would be limited and hard-fought, something perhaps unsurprising when they are up against mind-controlling titans.

Your character responds to the call of my character, who believes he has found credible evidence of this oncoming threat, but has been ignored and censored by his own government for reasons that, as they dig into the issue together, realise are because the crisis my character was attempting to expose has already begun, and in many places across the war-torn, crippled galaxy.

- Beastars*

Honestly, my biggest complaint about the manga would be the lack of worldbuilding. We know next to nothing about the history or culture of what seems to be an Earth-adjacent world. Why don't we expand on that together? I am fond of the concept of this setting and wanted to bring attention to it. A lot of potential plots.

- Fear and Hunger

- Kenshi

- Metro

- The Forgotten Realms

- Berserk

- Star Wars*

A few years back, I pitched the idea of a grounded Star Wars plot to some friends of mine; our characters would have been nobodies, of no great power politically or in the force. For a variety of reasons, all of them would be deemed collaborators with subversive elements in the empire, and only narrowly escape the imminent purges and arrests by escaping Coruscant together in the middle of Order 66. If Star Wars interests you, I would love to revisit this plot outline, as it never got off the ground.

The initial premise was that my character was an alien professor of the University of Coruscant. Your character could perhaps be a colleague, or maybe even somebody more connected to the order itself that my character tries to help along.

- Look Outside*

I have always felt the game provided a lot of material for fan content, given it takes place in just one apartment complex. Our characters could be struggling to survive the full fifteen-days elsewhere in the world. Instead of an apartment, we could do just about anything; an office building, a hospital/hospice, a subway, etc. Like Beastars, no particular plot in mind, just wanted to draw attention to it because I like it a lot.

- Arcanum

- Hollow Knight

- Bioshock

- LOTR

- ASOIAF*

The Long Night we got in the show was incredibly unsatisfying. While people rightly adore the political side of things in the setting, I feel that GRRM is also excellent when it comes to handling magic. A plot taking place in the Far North during some other era of Westerosi history could be fun, a Long Night that triggers earlier and sweeps both of our characters up into it.

My character is a Maester of the citadel; a promising young acolyte who, against all odds, managed to light a glass candle and was sent to King's Landing to tend beneath the Grand Maester. Following his passing, my character assumes the role, still young and green. Your character is a member of the court, be it a member of the royal family or a servant.

- Elder Scrolls*

The Thalmor want to destroy material existence as we know it. Could be fun to work against (or with) them to achieve that goal far away from the backwater province that is Skyrim. The Alinor we got in ESO was pretty bland and disappointing.

- Other*

Like I said, I have a lot of settings of my own, and a lot of assorted concepts, species, and little self-contained writings that could use a home. Feel free to ask!

If you would like to give writing with me a shot, PM me which franchise(s) caught your attention and drop your discord! I will add you if you attach your discord, and would prefer we host our discussion there.
