Hi there readers! I’m Tyler (28/M) from Australia (AEST), and I’m looking for a roleplay partner(s). I would say in total, I have at the very least 6–8 years of experience when it comes to text-based roleplaying (that isn’t asterisks or whatever other symbols I decided to use back in my younger years). So, if I’m unfamiliar with certain terminologies or etiquettes, then please inform me. As for myself: I’m a passionate writer with a love for storytelling and a stereotypical nerd. I play various TTRPGs throughout the week, and have an imagination that never switches off. Literally, it never does. I can’t help but be awake late into the night because my mind is unravelling a knotted mess of ideas for the stories I’d love to write and publish some day.

When it comes to my partner I expect a level of commitment: if you aren’t enjoying the direction of the narrative, or my style doesn’t fit with your own, please tell me. We can discuss it together and come to a suitable arrangement that fits us both. And if not, we can at least say farewell on good terms. I’m fed up with ghosting—it has discouraged me from searching for partners on these subreddits, which is the very reason why I’ve decided to create my own post instead. I want to improve my writing and build a lasting story with a partner who ideally wishes the same.

I’m no stickler for whether you’re an advanced or semi-lit writer; I care only for your need to propel the narrative forward, and to work alongside me when we develop the world. This is imperative for me, and hopefully for you. The number of paragraphs can vary between 3–5, though heavy descriptive scenes may require more, especially since I prefer to RP in most genres under speculative fiction. Additionally, I do prefer third-person (past tense) perspective, as this is the style I’m most comfortable with. Discord will be the preferred platform for communicating and archiving our RP.

I would prefer my partner(s) to be 20+, closer to my own age (28) or older, for more than obvious reasons, I’m not comfortable with roleplaying with anyone younger. I’m a hopeless romantic and believe romance has an important role in creating a memorable story. And while it doesn’t necessarily need to be romance-focused, I would at least like for their to be developing relationships and deep friendships between player characters and NPCs met along their journey. I will add that I prefer MxF pairings, though I wouldn't be opposed to trying MxM depending on the story.

Out of character discussions are another important factor for me: I want to get to know you as much as our characters; I want to delve into the worldbuilding and lore together, and come out with a concept we’re both excited and happy with. I suppose I’m looking for a friend, as well as a partner, in that case—a connection that is long-lasting and actually means something to the two of us. I can be a rather talkative person in between replies and love being the encouraging hype man for our characters. If you make a banger of a post that absolutely blows my mind, then I’m going to tell you about it. Because if anything, most have lost the ability to give valid feedback and compliments.

What I’m interested in (as of right now):

• Sci-fi/Fantasy / Space Exploration / Survival

• High or Low Fantasy / Medieval / Intrigue and Political tension / War

I’ve intentionally left these rather vague and without plot ideas as I'd prefer to build them alongside my partner. These options aren’t set in stone either; if my post grabbed you, and you were wanting a partner for a plot similar to the genres I suggested above, then still reach out. Maybe we can work something together. I have just come off from watching through House of the Dragon, and a rewatch of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, so I'm more leaning towards a RP with similar themes.

Most importantly, whether you choose to message, comment below, or not, thank you for taking time to read through my post. Take care!
