Mio's Request for Aid

Me...
​

-My preferred name is Mio. I'm gender-fluid and pretty comfortable with myself, so any pronouns are fine. I work a lot at my job, usually only getting two days off a week. And, as a server/cashier, my schedule is ever changing. I do tend to stay up pretty late usually, though sometimes after work I just wanna chill.

---

I'm very shy and get overwhelmed easily. It's exactly like introducing a cat to someone new. Give me time to warm up and respond please. Please also just be real with me. Prettied up words outside of writing are more than likely going to creep me out and I might think you're trying to flirt with me.
There is two more things I do want to explain and note though.
-I have adhd; I bounce between hobbies like crazy. I have a lot of things I enjoy doing, and I post about them frequently to my art thread and writing portfolio. Sometimes it might take me longer to respond to an ongoing story, but you'll still see me in chat or posting to other things. If you ever feel like I'm losing interest or something, please just tell me or ask. Because, that's probably not going to be the case.

---

-I also have really bad depression spills occasionally. They come and go as they please, and sometimes they demotivate me for a whole month. I'm worried about this happening with potential stories and partners, and that you'll be left wondering if I'm even still on site. First, I'll probably always be in chat in some way, but also you could always reach out and ask. Though, hopefully if I know a response is going to take longer, then I'll remember to give you a heads up as to why. But, sometimes my doubts and social anxiety stop me from hitting send or even typing a message for long periods of time.

---

Basically, I'm not going to require any specific time frames for responses, and I hope you won't require any of me either. I want to be fully invested in a wonderful story, but I want us both to be able to work on it when we're feeling it and not force it.

Writing Preferences...
​

-I'm not new to role-playing; though it's been a while since I've had a one on one partner. I have some pretty bad past RP trauma. (Who doesn't?) So, if I seem like I have trust issues or that I'm being picky, it's because I do and I am. Thankfully this site is full of amazing people, and I've been in several good group stories/events since joining. Thus, I'm a little less wary than I used to be.

---

-My muse and RT are currently set to MxM, and I am craving romance. I'd prefer you just create characters you'll enjoy being though. So, while I am currently chained up by my male muses, I'm willing to discus with you about your character options. I also don't just write males, but trans and genderfluid as well.
I'm ok with spicy flirting, but I currently won't write smut with others. I just still feel weird about it and would rather fade out. I think the farthest I'd go in detail is probably making out, but even then I'm not sure. I don't read good smut, and thus I am not well versed in it. It will be shit quality. That's your warning.

---

-I enjoying writing huge paragraphs full of detail, but I also really love dialog and character interactions. Just write however much you're comfortable with moment to moment, and I'll do the same. I can control multiple characters pretty well as needed. Even multiple main characters, though I prefer we each start with just one so it's easier to focus on them. If we accidentally fall in love with a set of side characters, let's talk about it. I can and do write in third person. Just know I am a sucker for inner voices and internal monologues. So, it's less like a third party narrator, and has more character voice/perspective.
Honestly, I have to have goals and hooks that keep us going. If our characters fall in love and confess too fast, my brain will think the story is over and have trouble continuing. Same if there's a conflict which solves too fast. I can fight through it, but it will be difficult. I'll try to communicate if that starts happening.

---

-I have a writing portfolio in Bard's Tales if you'd like a taste of my writing style before writing with me. If you also look in my library you'll find a log of the stories I've written with other people here on site as well. It's probably the easiest way to see how I write with others. I also thrive in groups with no specific turn order, especially when my character can 'be busy' and skipped as needed. So, if you've got an idea and need help running it, hit me up.

Something I've realized I need to put here. Yes, this is a hobby, but it's extremely important to me. I invest a whole lot into all of my writing. I world build and develop a lot, and I keep everything organized and linked where it can be accessed and referenced more easily. If you don't like making character sheets and world building threads, then we probably won't work as partners. And, if you don't like reading long passages of information to digest, then again, we probably shouldn't write together. As you can tell by this RT, I try to be very thorough when presenting information. I try to leave people with most common questions already answered. I need someone who's comfortable reading through things like this and processing them.
-I came here to write stories with others. I'm not looking to DM a D&D campaign, and I'm not looking to read a choose your own adventure. I want to build something, with someone. Not to always be told no, and not to always be just handed what I want. If I pass you the ball, please catch it.
Last thing: I am a method actor and an Empath. I take scenes probably way too seriously. Every character I play is an extension of me; I feel every little emotion. It gets really intense sometimes, but the writing I produce because of it makes me so proud. I just feel the need to place this warning, because partners in the past have had problems with this. I will get upset as the character and need to cry as myself to get that out. It's never anything personal against my partner though. Please don't take it that way. I do know we aren't our characters.

Genres...
​

-I mainly write Fantasy worlds, with lots of magic and races. Think D&D, which I take heavy inspiration from. I do tend to world-build a lot, which often leans me towards slice of life stories. I love adventures though. I don't want anyone to feel stuck in a time period, so feel free to give an elf a computer if you'd like. I do love Romance, but we don't have to be romantic. Just give me any kind of quality bond with your character, and please don't rush it. Though, if you play a "bad guy" with a redemption arch; you're straight after my heart.

---

-I love Anime and Manga. I particularly like Isekai or those stories where the character's life changes suddenly. I've not written any stories with them yet, but I think aged up Magical Girls could be interesting. I don't love monster girls in any sexual way; it's more of a "I really want to give this creature love, because everyone treats them different but they're a person damn it." I also love Rags to riches, Kingdoms, Nobility, Loyal Guards.

---

-How dark can we get? How dark do you want to get? Make me feel something. Describe it all if you want. Blood, physical pain, how the wounds happened, mental distress, depression, abuse physical and mental, trauma. Whatever we need to add for the story so long as it isn't just shoe-horned in. Make it make sense. Slowly unveil a backstory. Show me a slow decline. But, please don't just place it there like a character trait. I will say though, I'm not comfortable with torture. You can imply it, but I'd rather a fade to black on that one. The same with self harm; describe the wounds after the fact, blood and all. Just not as they happen if they're gonna get bloody. Something about blades being done slow and intentional is very unnerving, which is the point but- Maybe it'd just be better to discus these things first before writing if you'd like them to happen.

---

-I haven't physically written any Fandom/Fanfics in a very long time. However, I do like using premade universes on occasion. Pokemon is a big one. I eventually do want to explore the Monster Prom universe by Beautiful Glitch. We could definitely use the D&D lore in a universe to make things easier. I am in a lot of fandoms, but I'm unsure if I'd like to write a story involving cannon characters too heavily. I'd more just like to place our characters in those worlds, and us be the main characters.

Characters...
​

-I am by no means a bold person, so it is often times difficult for me to write a bold character. I've had a few gemstones that I've managed, but I could probably count them on one hand.
-I love shy or secluded characters which open up over time. I also really love bubbly, seemingly naive characters who are friendly and seem clueless. I could play a quality tsundere. And, grumpy jerks who are actually very protective and loving are a favorite of mine. Emotional baggage is my favorite thing to give a character. I try to give my characters some level of smarts and/or wisdom. I can be human if that's what the story needs, but I love playing non-human races.
-I can try to fill in any side characters as needed though.

I have an inn of characters, many of which are still looking for their stories! So, if you like to start with these characters and go from there, that'd be a good place to start!
-Also, yes I often use AI for face claims! I would rather have what I pictured in my head, than something not even close. The art is not mine. I would never claim it to be. I would never use it to profit. I'll never use AI for my writing.

Ideas...
​

-One of note on standby is a male witch idea I had. I don't really mind what we do with him, but he's fully fleshed out. His backstory is vague enough to be puzzle pieced wherever we need him. He can be human, or I can flavor him as fae. Though, to forewarn, I define the different kinds of magic casters differently. In my brain, witches aren't just female, and they aren't really occult to me. Occult is more blood rituals to me, which would either be a Cultist or a Warlock. Witches do more nature based magic, is how I've always seen them. So in this case, think more in the potions and herbal cure side of things. Here's his character sheet.

---

-This idea came to mind while in conversation one day: An author who spends their time romanticizing the world as if from afar, until someone pulls and mixes them back up into reality. Flustering, silly, bubbly. I can imagine a lot of emotions for a story like that, even sad or harmful ones for them to grow from.

---

-Meet cute!: You're a server running food, and you round a corner too fast, directly into someone. But they're a server too. So you both instinctually grasp the tray of food before it can actually fall. But, it is the only thing keeping you a foot from having crashed into each other, followed by startled eye contact.

---

-I have a whole thread doing vague quotes for characters who don't exist yet. If you aren't sure where we should start, we can shuffle through those and pick one the speaks to us. Then we can wing it from there.

---

-I also eventually want to try a story or scene where two strangers kiss thinking they'll never see each other again. I just want to see how it plays out.

---

I'm craving romance currently, but I can be convinced otherwise.

We do not have to go with any of these ideas. This is just all I have on standby currently that I can think of. I could probably dig through my thirty google docs for more if needed. We can also build from scratch!

---

Something I'd like to note here! A book cover aspect is something I want to do for all my stories when I first start them. I guess it seems kind of silly, but I want to look at the story we're brewing and describe a book cover for it, linking to any character sheets or world building threads. Making all our links easier to find for us any time we need to reference them. I'd just like a little table of contents in case we need it.

Current craving is MxM Romance.

I think that's it. So, please reach out via PMs if any of this is of interest. We can talk it all out and build a story together. Once where we're both comfortable and can have all the feels and fun. Please send me your RT, so that I can see your writing preferences as well. Would also like a writing sample to vibe check, but that's not required out the gate.​
