Big Fat OOC Thread (Always looking for partners)
 

I thought it would be beneficial to make a thread here, so I could cook up some plots for rp threads and keep things more organized and easy to find. If I'm rping with you and you need something from me, I think it's easiest to come find me here!

Not only that, but I'm a bit of an rp addict, and I'm always looking for some partners to rp with. I'm very flexible, so long as you don't mind me writing a wall of text now and again, heheh

so what (non fandom) genres do you like most?

I've fallen in love with modern fantasy, but I'm also really starting to get into high fantasy, like what you'd find in a D&D campaign. Sci-fi is also pretty fun, like the kind you'd see from Star Trek. I tend to enjoy thrillers and mystery sometimes, but my absolute favourite plots always come from watching the characters develop.

I actually don't like fandom stuff much. It never seems to have a lot of story and plot to it, in my opinion, but it may just be I'm not a good fandom rp'er, heheh...

What about you? What sort of things do you like to rp?

well since i dont do fandom i dont get either of those examples but, barring school i am pretty open to all genres XD

I didn't meant I'd rp in either D&D or Star Trek fandoms, but that the feel of the worlds would be similar. Both of them tend to be about exploration, so I suppose that appeals to me the most.

I think I can agree with you on the school thing. I've never understood school rp's...

Is there any kind of genre you enjoy rp'ing the most? I would hate to be the one to dictate everything, I'd rather you have a say in what we rp too!

i mean i dont know what you mean by 'feel' of them

it's a power thing with dominate and submissive clearly defined, it's also the only genre where you dont have to do any world-building you only have to pick out the 'type' of world as set by several predefined measures. it is basically the cop-out genre XD well, that and the only one where pedophilia can be done without people getting up in arms


i like high fantasy and slice of life but you prolly dont want to see how intensely i require my fantasy to be so prolly just slice of life ^^;;


and forgive my slowness, i am making a sims1 object and it is not a fast thing XD

...would like to be involved...
(In either world-making or world-exploring)

i dunno about a group dear XD you are new and i can be pretty rough, i was not going to ask you until gall felt you were able to handle me

Oh...okay...sorry...

I mean this: Star Trek has a different feel than the Sci-Fi of I Robot, for example. Star Trek has it's focus on exploring and tends to focus on moral dilemmas I Robot is about moral dilemmas too, but it isn't about exploring as much. There's more violence in I Robot than there is in Star Trek, and in Star Trek, the violence is used to accomplish different goals. The overall 'feel' of one brand of a genre over the other is really something you just sort of pick up after a while, so I may not be explaining it right...

I'm not too into pedophilia, but I do enjoy genres with defined submissive and dominate positions--provided they can change. My whole thing is character development.

However, if you're talking sex rp's, I'd probably be cool with it so long as it's not pedophilia and you're over the legal age limit of where you live.

I don't usually like slice of life rp's, unless it's a slice of life in a unique setting--maybe in WWII or a slice of life on a starship.


And for Lawtan!
I'd love to have you involved! This thread isn't just focused on an rp between chocobo and I, perhaps you and I could cook up an rp between us too! I promise, I'm very easy to get along with and I don't bite!

sorry sweetheart, i have a little bit of an issue with dyslexia and if i cannot read what you write clearly i cannot respond(it really does not take much either, sometimes even properly done phrases can turn into mush because one word is off or the tense changed). it does not help i am a tense nazi and require that my partner be able to hold their own and make regular plot-conscious decisions. i am not for newbies for sure and can come off as a dick(i dont mean it though)


i am 24 so i am legal everywhere XD though, i don't really do anything mature with new people since that requires a lot of understanding of what both chars would say/do/think/feel/like/understand and i would need to have enough confidence that my partner is equally able and over twenty(under that and you are a child in my eyes regardless of location). i will not do worse than flirting or, if the plot requires it, smoochyfaces XD


hurhur, i have done seriously fucked up stuff with slice 'o life, dude. astronauts, prostitutes, vampires, possessed rabbit-dudes, pen genies, psycho book-shadows, preop transvestites, mentally unhinged cross-dressers, andy worhol wannabes and cowboys to name off the ones that are not fairytail riffs or too complicated for four words or less XD

I'm sorry to hear you have dyslexia. I normally try to keep my work well written, but if there's any sort of changes you need made to make things more readable, I'll be happy to do what I can.

I, too, am of legal age, though I try to keep my personal information off the internet, so I'd rather not share my age. There are some crazy people out there :P

I have to say, I think I'd enjoy a slice of life rp like that. So long as it's not too normal, I'll be fine! I hope you don't mind a little weirdness on my side either. I've got quite an array in my little peanut gallery, heheh.

it is generally not a problem unless i am grinding through something junkily written or emotional enough to not be paying attention(i am a bibliophile so i do a lot of reading and have many tricks), your writing is quite well done compared to some of what i have managed so i am not worried and weird is welcome


sorry i am talking strangely, i am very tired and it is way past my bedtime, do you have any plot ideas before i mosey off? i would like to start something by tomorrow night at least

Heheh, I'm glad you're alright with weird. Weird seems to be my trademark these days!

I'm not sure if I'll have an rp going by tomorrow. I'm busy during the week, but if we're going to stick with a slice of life rp, maybe we should try a psychologist and their patient in an old fashioned mental institution. Is there any particular role you like out of them?

i could do either, how well at you at remembering your char's actions? if you are fairly good you can be the doctor but if you are not so much it would be easier to be the patient since the former needs to have an agenda AND to be able to keep track of what they both have said and done while the patient can be entirely self-absorbed and not keep up with the day-to-day stuff

(i guess the fact that i already have an idea for an intro is a bit unwanted then? XD)


oh! there is one catch and the biggest issue i have, i only rp as a male and with my partner's oc as a male. i do not understand women and i do not enjoy working with the tropes and stereotypes of them

I'm excellent at remembering my character's actions. If you have an idea for the introduction, go ahead and use it! Also keep in mind that it's possible for the patient to know more than the doctor. There are very clever mental patients out there!

I'll keep aware of that issue. Most of my main characters are male. You might come across female NPC's here and there, but if you don't like those either, I'll keep them to a minimum too.

sidechars are ok as long as we do not need to delve into their personalities and motives. yes indeedily XD and i am pleased you are not one to use a literary crutch even when offered


i do though it would have me as the doctor. do you have any ideas for what sort of mental disorder your char would have and to what severity?

Goodness, why would I want to use one? Where's the fun in it? I may not be a published author of any kind, but I do try very hard to avoid those things.

I have some experience with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but I do think the best thing that would work here is a clinical sociopath, most likely caught before he committed a murder by his family. I can choose others, of course, but sociopathy can be truly fun to write if done correctly. Do you have any problems with it?

i do not and because he has failed to commit any crimes he would not be considered criminal and can have a lot more freedom(such as one-on-one time without a guard and/or restraints)

if you can think of what he looks like, a little of his personality and a list of his issues i can either write up something when i wake or when i get home tonight

also, i was supposed to be asleep three hours ago and i can hardly keep my eyes open, nightynight

I'll be happy to write a little bit about him!

I think his name should be Kane Palmerson. He is normally a Caucasian man, but typically carries a deep farmer's tan that has since been fading upon his admittance to the institution. He is five foot ten, has green eyes, an angular face with cheekbones that stick out. His eyes look sunken into their sockets. He tends to preen himself and take a certain pride in his hygiene, so he looks clean and his hair is kept brushed, untangled, and swept to the side. He has a polite manner of speaking and appears to be a gentleman, but he refuses to listen to authority unless it suits him or he has no other choice, does not have any plans for his future, and tends to have a habit of 'sweet talking' allowances away from people, usually involving a favour he never fills later, sometimes through other means. He likes to spend money. He also enjoys sex and cannot be kept near a women's cell for this reason. He's twenty-two, though he lied about his age when he was first admitted.

He came from a relatively poor family from the rural outskirts of town, so he is and has always been a lean man with subtle traces of muscle. Since he was a child, he had always been caught killing the neighbor's barn cat their own chickens in increasingly cruel and unusual ways, beginning from simple manhandling to drowning to strangling. HE frequently had violent fits against his mother and father that nothing seemed to quell, and as he god older and bigger and stronger, they became more powerless to stop them. His grandparents paid for his admittance, fearing that he was unfit to take over the family farm--which he was. The last straw was taking a chunk of the family money, spending it on a wild night out at various brothels downtown, and lying to his parents about it when a family friend notified them.

Is that enough for you to work with?

that is plenty~

I'm glad! I'll be on the lookout for the rp thread!

unfortunatly some of those meds cause waightgain, sorry ^^;;;

he will introduce himself as mr. chopra and that will be stated on his badge. he is a behavioral therapist so you will see him for an hour and a half every day. he was picked because he has a girly face and is a little short and tubby, it is an attempt to convince yours to listen a little better. i have a first name for him buuuuut for now that is not needed XD and he is mixed (indian and british white) with milkier brown skin, brown eyes and dark brown hair(somewhat curly). the name makes more sense when you replace fish with pill XD

http://trisphee.com/forums/showthrea...68#post1602668

I figured he'd gain a little weight. That sort of thing just happens on some medications.

Speaking of which, I am no doctor and I won't know how all those medications will interact with one another and change his personality. I'll try to have him act to the best I can understand about all these drugs. I can assume he does what he can to dispose of the pills in secret. After all, he has a lot of motivation to not take them.

ok, all of the meds can be wiki'd though it is basically two downers, a mood stablizer, a blood thickener(the others would thin him to anemia) and therapy

all you need to know is if he goes off of the downers but not the coagulant he will get hyper and have bloodclots, if he goes off of all of them it sucks to be the good doctor

a small request though, can you please put it in current past tense? current tense is really uncomfortable to read and does not lend at all well when switching between the past and present in a sentence( i am not a novice dear, no need to dumb it down)

I've looked up the medications and I know what they do, simply not how they would mix--besides the coagulant. That one's easy to figure out.

I will be happy to switch to current past tense. I can tell you're not a novice, you've stated so multiple times since I've met you :,D

oh XD basically it will aggravate the bipolarism but in a controlled way(they will happen at specific times if he takes it and will make either his mania or his disphoria worse if he does not take them all) and he might have random bits of pain in his thighs from the coagulant

thankyou ;_; i say it lots because i have had partners who didn't get it, one 'advance lit' partner wrote at about an eighth-grade level and had no capacity for keeping her char IN char. she also kept addressing the camera play style, bleh!


i will be back in about 5 hours ok? heading out of town now to visit my fiance's mom

That makes sense, but he does not have bipolar disorder, so this will affect him differently than someone who does. I know that they will calm mania, which technically, he has something like it, but if he does not have depressive episodes, I assume he might have them upon taking the medication (coming from my own experience with medications.)

I have had a few rough partners myself, but I've found with practice, they all start to get better

See you then. Glad I got to catch you today, I had an unexpected break.

i could guess as much from your post but the two tend to run together even when the person does not have bd, it's easier to over medicate than to do lots of control especially since he is likely not in there as a permanent resident


haha, i have not seen that much, i tend to only stick with partners on my level though so maybe that is my own doing

I'm not too picky when it comes to partners. All I ask for is respect--skills come later. I think my best rp's have been with someone still learning and with people beyond my skill level.

sweetheart, can you please change the tense to match mine? i cannot really reply to your posts the way they are

I'll edit the tense, but I have to ask why it bothers you so much?

well for one it does not match with my own, for two it is hard to tell when something is happening since all of it is written as happening in the instance it is written with no respect for time and third because it triggers my reading issues and mangles up all the words into a pile. i have to strain and read very slowly(sometimes out loud) to read it


of course the unofficial but obvious reason is also that it's the hallmark of someone writing a book with pictures in it which require overt and immediate narration for a very young audience

I find the way you're acting to be incredibly condescending and rude. I have done nothing but treat you kindly and with welcome arms since we've met and have received nothing but snobbery in return.

You were the one who approached me for an rp, so I will not be too bent out of shape if I am forced to drop this rp. I have plenty of others that I can rp with, not to mention a few new groups and projects I'm keeping an eye on, and I would much prefer to rp with someone whose cranium is not firmly clenched betwixt their bum cheeks.

There are solutions, however, if you're still aiming to rp with me. You can either drop the inane ramblings about tense and the pretext that you struggle to read writing that deviates from your style and accept that other people who rp differently than you exist and are no better nor worse than you. The other option is that you can choose to ignore all I say and continue living your life in a sheltered bubble.

or, i can hear what you say and accept that is how you feel and just not rp with you. i feel a little gypped that i did not get what i asked for despite asking for it twice now. i read this great post; http://trisphee.com/forums/showpost....78&postcount=1 and i thought you were perfect. there is a strong understanding of flow and you kept things fairly consistent. i really /really/ wanted to rp with the person who wrote that and i still do but i dont feel that, as of right now, you are giving me even half of that. i am getting the same old junk i would expect from someone who did not have the capability i saw in that post. i was rude, i understand that, but i am also quite disappointed with what i got out of you

i also would like for you to understand why i personally keep saying i cannot read that. when everything is not very carefully written in a concise way(and occasionally even when it is) the whole of the writing comes out like this;
http://www.dyslexia-testing.com.au/s...s-dyslexia.gif
i am a very prolific reader but i am not without issues and while i understand it is nice to be as free as you want with words and styles sometimes it can hurt the story for the other person. this is why i seek out partners instead of letting them come to me. i want to be able to read and enjoy what is being written instead of having to sit for several minutes reading things over and over so that i may guess as to what is being said

Not every post is going to be five stars, and it's unhealthy to hold myself or anyone else up to that standard. I'm sorry if you feel that way, but I focus more on the rp content, not on verb tense. It's unfair to immediately disqualify anyone, not just me, as a potential partner simply because of 'flow'. After all, rp'ing is working together on that flow. If you can't find it within you to work together on that, then perhaps your disappointment should be targeted at yourself.

so i should be disappointed in the fact that i have a reading disorder that you dont feel compelled to work with? ok, i am disappointed that i inherited an inability to read all levels of writing and i am very disappointed that a person who is perfectly capable of holding themselves up to standards THEY have not only claimed they could do when implored to do so but have also shown me they can do will demand i just turn off a handicap to make things more easy for them because anything other than that would be disappointing

on a related note;

rp'ing is working together on that flow. If you can't find it within you to work together on that, then perhaps your disappointment should be targeted at yourself.

giving a person an ultimatum to do it your way or to not do it at all is the opposite of working together. it is however the definition of hypocrisy


if you'd like to talk civilly however i will not be opposed to starting over but i do feel this particular topic is about finished
