Greetings and salutations, one and all.

Traveling the vastness of the internet, surfing the proverbial ocean that is the web, I find myself washed upon the shores of this site.

I am called Stahlt, plain, and simple.

Now that we have established who I am by name, perhaps we shall dive into the why I am here, and what, I in turn, am looking for, yes?. Good.

Role play, to be plain, and of course clear.

Therein lay the problem, I have been around long enough to have seen near every style, type and growth / stagnation of RP in and of itself. We are adults here, at least I hope so, thus I will make the expectations clear. If you lose interest, cannot go on, for whatever reason, let me know, do not simply vanish as I will afford you, and others the same courtesy.

I am looking for more into the heavily descriptive and in depth. Long term for preference sake but short term can be fine for somethings, tests for example.

Fantasy, medieval, are the genre I stick to mostly, but often drift into science-fiction and the likes of post-apocalyptic settings.

I avoid, cannon fandoms and worlds pre-created like that of George.R.Martin and his works, Song of Ice and Fire. Tolkien, and most of the Lord of the Rings series. The list travels onward because, I tend to create my own characters and worlds. If you have an idea, by all means come to me with that idea and we shall see what comes of it. I am looking to role play, not play a script of a per-exsisting character or fantasy, tis rather sad that I have to say as much.

With that out of the way; if you are curious about talking with me, fire a PM. I don't bite, unless asked to, and politely at that. For those, whom have made it this far, congratulations I am also a near twenty year veteran of Dungeons and Dragons. Now that, I have said as much, please keep in mind the above. Worlds pre-created are wonderful to dive into, but worlds and universes that many desire to play in and define themselves in, have rules and information the other, being myself, may not be so brushed up on. If we are looking at loose basis, the answer is maybe, but I more often than not will NEVER play with a cannon character. Doesn't mean I will not, but if I am aware of it, most of the time still applies.

Still reading? my my, well finally I shall say this much. I like realism, grit and tough situations, drama and a story that grabs you, pulls you in and never lets go. I am a die hard romantic, so romance is a thing in most of my stories. Keep in mind, I said romance, and mean it, that slow build to the explosive fire within one's chest. Furthermore, I am a sucker for those that can hold their own with a good thick diabolical plot. Good old end of the world ploy?, sure. Lunatic on the throne?, have at thee!. You get my meanings; if you want a sample of my writing, you'll have to ask me for it.

Finally, and in closing, I will say this. If it is painfully clear you haven't read -any- of the above, we aren't going to get along.

Thank you one and all, for your time. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Thank you kindly, and I have indeed read the rules, to a fair extent. I re-browse them occasionally. to make sure no lines are crossed. I had however, thought I had broken a few at random when I saw your post but realized... "I have made one post.... how?.... " to which I attribute both being over tired and being foolish at the time.

All the same, thank you again for the welcomes, to you and the one above.

Shamless bump, to add the final foot note.
 
Well Stahlt, first and foremost, Hello! I hope you find a home here like I have.

Second of all, it seems we have a lot in common roleplay wise. I hope we can talk more.

Pleased to meet you, Stahlt. To quote Al Pacino from "Scent of a Woman", "I'm a Grey Ghost too." If you ever feel you'd like to go for a very deep story dive let me know. I'm pretty intuitive and I've written in just about every genre. I'm a stickler for realism, but I'm concerned more with things like utilizing proper foreshadowing, economized movement of the setting, the development of mutually shared sub-characters, stuff like that. I can roll with inaccuracies but when a writer ignores the concept of time and spacial relation in the story, or things get too convenient, I'm pretty much a goner (and a groaner) at that point. Yeah, if I sound like a crotchety old fart, you're not too far off the mark.

I'd be up for some High Fantasy, maybe something along the lines of Gemmell, maybe Cook? I like magic, but it has to be anchored in realism and constrained so the world doesn't go all Harry Potter. I like to try and stay as original as one possibly can in this day and age.

Sounds to me my friend, like you have had more than your fair shares of "handing a ticket to a blind man in a corvette.". I feel you, and understand, so to be fair, and blunt. If you've an idea, or want, fire me a message as it sounds you've something in mind already.
 
Well I'm. Here for a roleplay if you want!
Will definitely keep you in mind, and sort something out when I can. I have a few replies I am working on at this very moment, and rather than devote shattered shards of time to each, I prefer the focus of one at a time. Whence I sort out my landing zone herein, I shall fire you off a message. I have a couple days off coming so, private messages are getting cleared out first, and roots, are indeed, growing deep.
 
*looks up*

...well then, looks like I arrived late to the party.

Many welcomes to what I lovingly refer to as the madhouse.
Here you will find writers of every ability from enthusiastic beginners to professionals running their characters for experience. I think i have also witnessed almost every conceivable genre/ mash up going. Although i see you have stated some of the most popular themes as your preferred already.
Stories here do tend towards darker themes, that's not to say it is without it's fluff, just that it maybe take a little more seeking if required.

Problems? Seek out the wonderfully efficient staff in either Purple/Pink or Blue names.
More general inquiries maybe answered by the long term residents often found lurking around the chat area.

Hope to see you around.
All the best.
Nyx.

Thank you kindly for the offered guidance, and welcoming post. I have indeed found a few already however whom are eager enough to take me on as a role player. All the best, and cheers, to the welcome, once more.
