Hello, internet vagabond extraordinaire Avalon Rider here. Or not. This is a series of shapes and code on the internet meant to be understood as communication, I'm safely somewhere very far away. Watching. Waiting.
Quirky introductions put aside, I am a twenty four year old heterosexual man/young adult who has been roleplaying in various forms for over a decade now. I started out trying RP servers in early World of Warcraft and have expanded to forums similar to this one and tabletop RPGs.
I'm awful about talking about my interests as I feel like I can't ever remember them all at once at any one time. To give a few examples for now: World of Warcraft. I've officially retired from the scene as of last year but I played on and off for over a decade and as with many of my interests I am very knowledgeable in the lore of the world.
Fromsoft's action RPG titles. Cleared Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne multiple times. Love the combat, the worlds. I don't consider myself the hardest of cores but they introduced me to a level of challenge I'd never really gone searching for my games.
Chronicles of Darkness. Try not to get me started unless you really are interested. A roleplaying driven tabletop game, based in a grim urban fantasy universe full of varied, playable supernatural creatures with unique backgrounds and mechanics that tend to make them a far cry from their pop culture stereotypes. It's a setting I'd love to do stories in here.
Talking about RP interests might be a good idea. I'll admit up front I usually has little to no interest in the mundane. Some angle above the norm is required to grab my attention. As for genres, urban fantasy/modern supernatural are my go to's. Fantasy is a decent second though I prefer to avoid anything too generic; a twist of some kind is always appreciated. I don't think I've ever done a sci-fi story in all my years yet I'm not opposed to it. My biggest struggle is 'rules': A vague set of rules for how the universe works often makes it come off as generic while to many rules can make it impenetrable.
In any genre I like romance -- a bit of a hopeless romantic personally -- but it's not required and I do struggle if it's the main focus of the plot. Not particularly interested in smut.
If I'm going to drop any relevant misc. information I might as well give away the most relevant and uncomfortable: I have Aspergers. I can come off a bit awkward at times, stuff like sarcasm often goes over my head and can cause some offense. Paradoxically I'm someone who can be a bit clingy and want their personal space on and off. If I disappear for a bit I'd ask you not dote. Sometimes I'm in an on/off writing mood and someone messaging me asking if I can post right now can make me a bit skittish and end up dancing around posting altogether.
And those are the essentials. And probably a good stopping point given the scroll bar has shown up during this last paragraph. Tata and hope some of you are interested in writing with me.
